New Society Speakeasy in St. Louis is a hidden gem, blending vintage charm with creative cocktails. With dim lighting, cozy seating, and a prohibition-era vibe, it’s perfect for an intimate night out. The bartenders craft unique drinks that impress. A must-visit for cocktail lovers seeking something special.

We were disappointed to see the complete lack of care given to the aesthetics of the space. You’re literally in a dank, unfinished basement with pipes and worn furniture. Not chic or romantic. Just dark. Which is good because god save us from what it must look like in the light of day. It felt like if your friends dorky little sister wanted to “play bar” in their parents Midwestern basement and then started putting things like graham crackers and lychee in a blender to see if you could choke it down. My drink smelled and tasted like a TJ Maxx holiday candle and was undrinkable. You know that feeling when you think something must be a joke but it isn’t and then you realize the joke is on you for paying for it?

If craft cocktails with names like Beans and Cheese are your jam, or you really like hanging in your grandma’s basement, this is the place for you. It’s a hipster vibe for sure. And it is totally my fault because I thought I made reservations at Polite Society, which is just a little bit different. I will say that the fact that you cannot order a regular cocktail and have to order their craft cocktails is a bit of a bummer, but the service was good and the people were nice.

Chris and Mac are wonderful people who gave the most outstanding service. My husband and I went for my 40th birthday after a nice dinner and the atmosphere and drinks were just the vibe I wanted, we love trying new things and this place makes you do that! And honestly we rarely get good service and the service, friendliness, and just overall company from Chris and Mac was so great. Can't wait to bring people back!

I brought my husband here for a surprise for his birthday and it absolutely did not disappoint! Our bartender, Mack, was super friendly and made a delicious Manhattan and Pineapple! The perfect mix of everything. We ordered food from good time kitchen and I wish we would have ordered more! The menu rotates often and I didn't even take pictures of the food we ate it so fast ? but let me just say do yourself a favor and order some snacks, you won't regret it! My only negative (and it's soooo tiny) is that it took about 5 minutes for our eyes to adjust to such dim lighting and the staircase down was steep. We went on Thursday at 6 and were the only ones there. Apparently Friday and Saturdays you better make a reservation and I can see why. If you're looking for an experience, this is the place to go!
Parking: Meters stopped taking money at 7. Plenty of street parking, but again it was a Thursday night. Grand will get busy on weekends.
Wheelchair accessibility: Super steep staircase, and very dimly light to go down into New Society.

Alot of really unique options, delicious foods. It was nice that each res is a 90 minute booking, so plenty of time to drink and chat. MacKenzie, our bartender was amazing and we received a celebratory bday drink too.
