Local fun place!! Always a good place time!
I used to come to this bar years ago with friends and it was decent. My two most recent visits with this bar were the worst bar experiences I’ve ever encountered. The owner in the wheelchair is very rude and clearly stated to my friends and I that he was not fond of ‘our kind’ and when we mentioned how it sounded racist……he told us he would hang from the same tree we did so he couldn’t be racist smh. The second most recent experience, the bartender was extremely rude and when I voiced that…..he had his friends jump me outside of the bar. Sad to say, I used to like going to this bar with my friends. But the bartender and owner definitely shouldn’t be there if they plan on running a good business. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on my friends and I there. Safe to say I will never return. Mostly because I don’t drink anymore, but also because there are wayyyy better LGBT bars here in STL! Trust me!

The experience we had was called a fun. I have a personal connection to this place from a long time ago. It is only gotten better and brighter for the community which it serves.... Props for Bob .. and in the back now they have a smoking area outside bar they've always had the pool table and darts but pinball that's a notch up ..

Great staff, cheap drinks, amazing patrons and awesome patio!
Very obliterated drunk owner gets into yelling match with a black customer. Spouts off how he's the owner. Screaming louder then the music and screaming repeatedly "bye Felicia, bye Felicia" defiantly avoid this place.

I had an absolutely delightful dining experience, largely thanks to Allie our fantastic waiter. Allie was incredibly sweet, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Their recommendations were spot-on, and they ensured that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Thanks again to Allie and the entire team for making our visit memorable. We'll definitely be back!

One part of the bar has a cat and it’s perfect, but the other part, we were literally looking at the menu, and the dude working the bar said if we don’t order nothing we gotta leave. Felt unwanted so we left. Wish we could have experienced more.
It was a cool place to visit. If ya know the place ya know. I was very welcomed, everyone was super friendly. Prices on things were about normal for soulard.
When a patron wants to trade ya shirts....ya dressed good :). My wife and I had a great time here.

Great pub! Nice patrons and staff was great. Thanks Jeff W.
Decided to stop by while visiting St. Louis for work. Did not get a welcome greeting. Ordered my drink, decided to close the tab, bartender (of other ethnicity than black, I’ll leave it at that) brings the drink, and when i hand him my debit card, He then rolls his eyes and tells me it’s a two drink minimum to use a debit card. I’ve never experienced such a rule especially after the drink was made and served but i complied and got a bottled water that i didn’t really want but whatever. I suppose i didn’t sign the card receipt fast enough for him so he comes back and essentially demands i sign the receipt right then. I wasn’t in this place but 3 minutes and the experience was already horrible so instead of arguing or going against the grain, getting upset, causing a scene, i simply drew a line through the tip area. Once he collects it he proceeds to say “wow, you’re pleasant”. Mind you, I’ve only said all of 10 words to this man. I didn’t even finish my drink, i immediately left the drink and the bottled water on the bar. He seemed super friendly with the 1 of the total 3 people at the bar at this time so I’m not sure what patrons are preferred at this establishment but i definitely did not feel welcome. I’ll be sure to put this place on my “not welcome here” list if and when i ever come back.

This bar may be small but it’s huge in the way of community. The bartenders are very friendly/funny and the regulars are like family. Very inclusive to all and very respectful as well.
