“Super chill place to enjoy a great sandwich.“

“Best neighborhood bar! Geat deals, darts and people :)“

“Awesome place!!! Great atmosphere, good lookin people, and everyone hates Kroenke!!!!“

“Came here over the weekend for 76th Street concert! 🎶 The show was amazing and what a great venue! It was the perfect weather out on the patio and plenty of nice tables with comfy chairs to sit at.
It was a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Staff were friendly and the drinks were affordable. The bar was cash only.
Definitely a gem in St. Louis ✨

We got a ride down there to avoid having to find street parking and we ate ahead of time because I don’t think they serve food at the bar“

“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.“

“The place where everyone knows your name. Great bartenders and owner! More than reasonable drink prices. If you like small friendly bars, this is the place for you!“

“Your gluten free menu is the best we have had at a restaurant in the metro area. Can’t wait for you guys to come to Saint Charles county.“

“Fun time!! Cool place for young bands!!“

“Chill place, always have the streamed sports games on“

“The pizza is phenomenal (the best I have had in a while) and the atmosphere is so relaxing and fun! The art on the walls and the decor is such amazing eye-candy. I can’t wait to have another slice and enjoy a relaxing meal and drinks! ✨“

“Visited during the 2026 St. Louis Tionól to watch and listen to sessions performed by the musicians from that event. What an outstanding experience it was. So much outstanding music in almost every corner you went to. Had the bangers and mash since ai was there over lunch and it was excellent. Definitely recommend this place for an authentic Irish pub experience.“

“We descended on the HandleBar as a large group of remote coworkers gathering for our annual retreat. We sang, dreams, and ate, and an excellent time was had by all! Karaoke was so much fun, and we got the whole company up to sing Friends in Low Places, and added other singers who were hanging out, too. The vibe was great, the bartender was helpful and kind. Thank you!“

“I saw the best mime show of my life at Venice Cafe and that’s saying a lot because, as everyone who knows me knows, I am a mime show connoisseur. My favorite part of the show was the dragons that they slipped through the tear in the space/time continuum. Highly recommended bringing cash as the ATM works when it hasn’t been cursed by the Witch of the Woods but she’s been on a tear lately and they’re still working on the protection spell.“

“Probably the best roast beef sandwich I have ever had. Nowhere else ever asks how you want it cooked. And the answer is medium rare. Our service was also very nice and attentive. We stopped in for the first time on the way to a concert and this will be one of our places we frequent in the city when we come up from home in Farmington. Only thing I would say is I would turn the lighting up just a tad. I know pubs are supposed to be a little dark and have a warm feeling but some people (me) don’t have great eyesight and I found it a bit difficult to see and read the menu. Never the less we enjoyed our food very much and will be in again soon. Hopefully more than once“

“Cute and cozy! The old world charm makes this the place to be!“

“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!“

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

“Great pinball bar!! The selection of pinball games is excellent. Bartender was a little to boisterous, but still nice. We went on a Saturday night, it was dead... let me tell you why. Karaoke, and it was HORRIBLE. Not that having karaoke is horrible, it's the few people that were there that couldn't sing. You could tell it was a few regulars and that's what is keeping more people from coming. We left because it was so bad. Will definitely be back though when no karaoke is going on“

“Best food and great service dope live music I love it Food came out hot everything was perfect“

“Great local bar, fun atmosphere & specials throughout the week. Great place to watch a game or plan a birthday party at!“

“I'm coming back simply because John's customer service was exceptional! Keep up the good work John! I made him pose for the photo!“

“Stayed in Air BnB across the street awhile back for the wwe Royal Rumble. My brother and I ate here everyday, drank here at night. Laid back atmosphere. I wanted to purchase a shirt and they didn’t have my size, owner went out of his way to go dig and find me one. 10/10 recommend.“

“Great staff and great food!!!“

“The staff and atmosphere was amazing 😀! We had a blast here!!
The bartender went above and beyond.

Not sure what it is about every bar in St Louis having frozen pizza and nothing else. That is the only downfall.“

“Stopped in for a couple drinks while we waited for our pizza from pizza a go go. This place is neat! Friendly atmosphere and drinks were made perfect! If ever in the area again we will be back“

“Love it!! Very friendly Bartenders and fun place“

“I have always wanted to stop in this place. I drive by it all the time finally about three weeks ago me and a group of my friends stopped in and we had a really good time. I own a bar as well on South Broadway. This is a nice little getaway place for me. Haven’t been there in a couple weeks, but I’m definitely coming back.“

“Great place to watch a soccer game.“

“Best tavern on the south side. Always making friends at Babe’s.“

“What a cool spot! We saw live Ragtime Jazz (they have live music just about every night) and ate some delicious pesto and prosciutto pizza. Everything came out hot and fresh and the server was especially sweet. Love the punk elements and artwork incorporated into the bar’s environment, it’s definitely LGBT friendly and leftist-oriented :)“

“I had good time how ever I was sad on the nachos there was no meat wich is fine I understand that part but there was no cheese it was chips and salsa that is not nachos 😅 but the drinks were so good and games were fun“

“We love this place!!! We frequently visit Hesslers and most recently had our wedding reception there. We always have the best service and friendly staff. Great food, and awesome atmosphere!!“

“any time I order here the food is great! I highly recommend the deep fried gooey cake as a dessert…thank me later! (you can tell the food is made with love!)“

“Great service & great food!! We had a couple small issues (burger not done & a soda that was lacking syrup, it was almost all carbonation. It happens! 🙃). The double decker pizza is so good!! My daughter had the chili mac & it was such a huge bowl that we brought more than half of it home. It was yummy!“

“Food is always amazing with the best service. We have never been disappointed!!“

“Attended a Welcome Party for a wedding here with my toddler, newborn and husband. I was relieved they had an elevator to bring my stroller upstairs where the party was. There was plenty of room, bathrooms were clean, and there was even arcade games my toddler could pretend to play to keep her busy.“

“Absolutely great local bar! The food was incredible! I had the house made chicken strips and THEY WERE THE BERY BEST IN TOWN!!! The beers were cold. The music was cool. And most importantly, Tara was a bright sunshine of fun that tied everything together! We found out about the shuttle to and from the Blues game and are planning our next trip around Big Daddy’s and the BLUUUUUES!!!“

“I did a phone order and went and picked it up. The staff is very friendly and very observant of someone waiting. I was waiting for my order and I had a handful of employees asking if I have been helped yet. Very great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Will definitely recommend and will come back when I am back in town.“

“they are nice people kathy gotta love her they have a dj karaoke drinks its fun no cover charge what more could you ask for GO.....KAT your the best“

“Jamie,Kelly and Kelsie are hands down the best behind the bar! Their energy is infectious, their drinks are top-notch, and their service is unbeatable. Kelly crafts perfect cocktails with skill, while Kelsie keeps the crowd engaged and the vibes high. They work seamlessly together, making every night at the bar an experience.

And let’s not forget Carol, the amazing owner who makes it all possible! She’s created a fantastic spot with a great atmosphere and top-tier staff. If Kelly and Kelsie are on shift, and Carol’s running the place, you’re in for an unforgettable night!“

“Molly’s is finally serving food, and we were so excited to try it!

We ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich, Gumbo Bowl, and Garlic Parmesan Buffalo Wings, and OMG!

The Fried Chicken Sandwich was delicious! It had the perfect little kick without being overwhelmingly spicy.

The Gumbo Bowl has a lot of potential but could use a little work. The shrimp were seasoned perfectly, and the rice was cooked just right. However, the gumbo itself was lacking some depth of flavor. It definitely had heat, but spicy doesn’t always mean flavorful. With a little tweaking, this could be an amazing dish!

Now, the Garlic Parmesan Buffalo Wings? WOW! I had never even heard of that flavor combination before, but it absolutely works! The balance of garlic, parmesan, and buffalo was incredible. Easily my new favorite wings!

Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and are so happy to see Molly’s serving food again! We can’t wait to come back and see what they have in store once the full menu is available!“

“Grease was old and the food was cold“

“Great, unique pizza. Casual atmosphere. Good beer selection and variety. The deep dish is not actual Chicago style (the old owner called it that, it's not anymore) but it is delicious. And HEAVY. Of you get it to go, definitely carry with two hands.“

“Lillie is hands down one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had. From the second we sat down, she brought such a fun, welcoming energy to the table. She’s truly a whole vibe — upbeat, attentive, and effortlessly cool while still being completely on top of everything.

Even when the bar was busy, she made sure our drinks stayed full, our food came out smoothly, and we never felt forgotten. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows in how she takes care of her guests.

If you’re coming to watch a game, grab drinks with friends, or just hang out, ask for Lillie — she’ll make your night better. Guaranteed.“

“Love Carson’s! Karaoke bars are so fun. The drinks are cold and it’s always a good time.

That being said, this bar desperately needs to invest in acoustic sound absorbing panels in the main bar and side party room. The sound was bouncing around and everyone had to yell to be heard, way before the karaoke started. My family is in the bar business and sound panels made my family’s bar so much more enjoyable. They’re not that expensive and it will change the experience in there. Unsolicited advice I know, but I had to share. Thank you for hosting us!“
