50 Best Bars in St. Louis

“Great atmosphere before any sports event!“

“a great place for friends to game, professional team building, you name it. loved it there. the art deco interior is beautiful.“

“Very fun place to go, already been multiple times. Easy place to meet people. They have loads of delicious beer, my favorite is the Breakfast Stout. All kinds of games, some are even competitive. My number 1 go-to bar in St Louis!

Edit: apparently this place only pops during school season“

“Great drinks. Sting so worth the price“

“Vangel’s is the most exceptional meal out we have had in a long time. Soft music, soft lighting, great choices for drinks and hearty menu items make for a memorable night out. Louie the owner made us feel at home on our first, but not last visit to Vangels. Thank you for the hospitality and great experience all around. Tracy“

“Great spot to grab a drink with friends. Staff is amazing as is the atmosphere.“

“Incredible food, cocktails and service. Their French onion soup is to die for. Lovely place with great atmosphere, highly recommend!“

“One of the better mid size venues to see a show. We've been multiple times over the last 10 years and have never had a bad experience. They have the right amount of security to make everyone feel safe but not so much that it impacts the experience if the show gets a little rowdy. With that being said the demeanor of the crowd as far as the shows I've been to has been great. I've yet to see any fights or groups of people getting blackout drunk. For me the acoustics of the old building have been wonderful and the set up of the stage gives a good view for most of the patrons. Certain shows will fill the building so it's always best to get there early. Also total gold star move that they have multiple water stations with cups on each floor.“

“The food is amazing. The location is great. The service is impeccable. This is THE place to be!“

“A cool little dive bar with pinball machines. On a Sunday night they seem to have some league whereby people play them all night so normal patrons can’t use them. It’s a pretty cool place though, and if you can find a night where you can play pinball or just listen to the jukebox, I’d definitely recommend it. Tiny chef is excellent also and they sell food at a window inside the bar.“

“This place is so, so cool. My cousin took me out for dinner and I had never even heard of this spot. Wow, it’s such a beautiful and moody spot full of charm!! We had to wait 15 minutes for a booth but I didn’t mind because this place serves LOOKS. The decor was awesome! Everything from the stellar service, crispy and lacey smash burgers and gorgeous dining room(s) made me realize why this spot is always recommended to me. We were very happy with our food and it was under $50 for two people! Check out Golden Hoosier, you won’t regret it.“

“Cozy and fun. A place to share with friends.“

“Super cute place, I love the art, the bar side is loud and the cafe is quiet, the staff are really nice and arent super playing up the customer service niceties, they are nice, and treat you like you are a real person, I love it, food and drinks are good, but are kind of expensive, lighting is dim, its a wonderful atmosphere“

“This is an excellent spot. Craft beer lovers should check it out.“

“One of the best bars in Soulard. Great pizza, hamburgers, wings!“

“Simple. Check this place out if you want good food. Every dish can be vegan friendly. Just ask.“

“Attended a birthday party here yesterday. Great ciders and food. Staff was amazing as well. Will definitely be back!“

“Great wine, place to lounge and relax with friends . Best bartender and server“

“Had a great time Saturday at The Off Track Saloon 💥 Awesome decorations and Awesome outside area! 💚 The hog roast was great and the patrons were extremely friendly and cool! ☮️ We hope to return soon! 😉“

“Stopped by for a chill night and was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was actually pretty decent—crispy crust, good flavor, and hit the spot. The pool tables were a nice bonus and kept things fun without feeling too crowded.
Big shoutout to Billy W. behind the bar—super friendly, quick with drinks, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely the kind of bartender that keeps you coming back.“

“Best dive bar in St Louis. Always a friendly face.“

“The shrimp bowl was absolutely amazing and the people who works there are just the best would recommend this place to all my friends“

“Great homemade food. Staff are wonderful. Great place to go.“

“Perfect neighborhood bar with a pool table inside and patio seating outside. The side winder fries are on my list of favorites in this city. Live music was good and at the right volume to still visit with friends.“

“We went today for a late lunch / early dinner and everything was delicious !!!“

“Love having more queer, chill spaces ❤️“

“Stew's has become our regular date night spot once a week. We look forward to the salmon, the mushrooms, the fried rice and for now the tuna - hoping for a return of the scallop ceviche! We love the inside even when it can be a little bit loud and we love the outside (our preference) in good weather. Service is always top level and attentive and I love to get my Blanton's old-fashioned made here. Occasionally the wait can be long but for us it's always been worth it even when it's been 30° outside! You can consider us die hard fans. High quality food with high-quality service in a fun neighborhood location. Check out the decor in the bathroom.“

The Passport is relaxing, family ran , and very intimate, the music is 10/10, the drinks are handcrafted by some amazing Bartenders who knowledgeable and friendly, it’s a must try! I definitely know you won’t be disappointed!“

“Great little place with a great atmosphere.“

“Great bartenders, great prices, and it's a clean "dive" bar.“

“Bar PM doesnt have food but they make up for it in good vibes!
I truly enjoy the lgbtq+/ all-inclusive atmosphere they provide. The music is always top notch, the staff is extremely friendly and quick to serve! They also have a super cute patio and open-air garage area, giving patrons a variety of areas to hang, dance or socialize. They also host some really unique, fun and exciting events that Ive thoroughly enjoyed attending or vending with my business. This Bar is definitely a hidden GEM in St. Louis!“

“My family and I have been going here weekly for years. The staff is awesome and kind. The selection of beer and Liqour is amazing and the food is delicious.“

“If you are into EDM better and safer than Washington Ave. Remodeled decor is awesome, staff know their stuff. Only complaint is very long bar but only four bar stools“

“My second visit and Julie & Steve were awesome….had drinks ready for us with a smile and took great care of us while there, I would highly recommend for a Friday night fun outing, Fun Bar!!“

“Started coming here a few months ago. The bartenders are great, good fellow customers, and the owner Kimmie is just awesome!“

“I’ve been coming to grizzly bear for years with friends and family. I love the atmosphere inside and outside. The historical building is absolutely gorgeous. Marie was mine and my sisters bartender and she was so sweet and attentive. Absolutely love her! 10/10 definitely recommend. The wings are delicious and I love playing darts in the front room. Never a dull moment at the grizzly bear.“

“It was such a great time! Food excellent, wine even better and the atmosphere was so awesome. Low lighting just a great vibe“

“We've been here a few times and it's been consistently excellent on all fronts. Maybe the most European vibe of any spot in STL. I prefer branzino (and most fish) grilled whole, but the butterflied version they serve is still outstanding and a better fit for St. Louis tastes (I love STL, but for some reason many folks even struggle with bone-in chicken here). This time I had Vincenzu's Sicilian sausage (complete with Sicilian spelling of his name!), which was excellent. They also had a wonderful Sicilian white wine (nerello mascalese, never saw it in the US). I don't we've ever encountered a misfire. Oh, and the host is very charming and helpful!“

“I love that there's a total dive bar in uptight, old money Clayton. Staff is down to earth, the patrons don't get too drunk. Drinks are reasonably priced. If you're in Clayton and want a drink without worrying about who is listening to your conversation, this is the place to go.“

“Everything about Robin was above expectations! Traveled in from Chicago, and before I arrived to St Louis, the team was able to help me secure a reservation. Upon arriving to Robin, the dining experience and service was impeccable. The vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant was perfection and truly allowed for a beautiful dining experience. Tables are well spaced, and the noise level that typically generates from other diners was basically non-existant. Drinks were top-notch, and whoever curated the drink menu should also get high praise. We ordered the snacks and bread to go along with the tasting menu. The snack bites started the food journey on the right food. My dining partner and I bother ordered the bread, and we probably could have gotten away with just one order. Every dish that we ordered from the tasting menu qas perfection. Standouts were the venison tartar, trout, chicken and short rib. It wss fantastic to also watch Chef Alec prepare each and every dish thst went out. The entire team was exceptional, and worked harmoniously like a beautiful choreographed ballet. Thank you all for the incredible dining experience.“

“When I say this place is a vibe.... baby it hits every time. Very very hard to get a waitress or a drink from the bar...I had to wait until others were at the table with me, as I didn't want to lose the table. I sat for over an hour watching all these other people get served... food it outstanding tho!!“

“Having Jessica there is going to be great thing just hate she not there on the days I am off🤣😂🤣“

“Was a very chill dive bar. Was a bit disappointed that they weren’t playing the piano but nonetheless, had great service and everyone was friendly“

“Myself and two friends came in for a concert. Natasha was a phenomenal bartender...great cocktails and even better personality. The homemade salsa and potato boats were to die for. A must visit.“

“what's not to like? Great people, Wonderful cocktails, layed back and relaxed, super wedding venue!!! Need I say more?“

“Great atmosphere and very welcoming“
