“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.“

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

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“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! ✨“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

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

“Great place to watch a soccer game.“

“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“

“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!)“

“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.“

“CASH ONLY BAR (atm downstairs if working). Street parking (free if you can find them which you most likely will.)
Haven't bought food from here but their drinks pretty good and affordable.
The ambience is nice, relatively spacey outdoors, kinda tight indoors, seats and tables outside* available. Friends have hosted parties* here before and it went well both times. The place gets loud from people's voices when you're outside, live music often playing indoor.
Bartenders pretty nice. They have bathrooms on lower floor and upper floor.
They have a pet turtle you often see hanging out in the water 🐢“

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

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

“No joke, these are the best drinks I have ever had in St. Louis! Jack’s mixology talents should be patented! Hayden’s is the perfect blend of chill and fun! Monday karaoke is always a good time, and the crowd is always supportive no matter the song or the singer. All the other days are full of good drinks and good laughs. If you have a choice between going home and having a memorable night at Hayden’s, do yourself a favor, and go make some memories at Hayden’s!“

“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“

“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 staff and great food!!!“

“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!!“

“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“

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

“We went on Tacos and Tequila day in Soulard. A lot of the places in the area are historic....so they're kind of small but they maintain the building well. A lot of bar seating and high table seating... large collection of drinks and I think the run specials too. When it's nice outside they also have patio seating.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Grease was old and the food was cold“

“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!“

“This bar has a limited menu of a really good deep dish pizza. It does take quite some time to cook a pizza that huge, so be prepared to wait 35 to 40 minutes for your order. When you enter the bar, you order at the counter and they will bring your food to you when it's ready.“

“This is one of my favorite places in Soulard. I always liked their set up: in through a small bar, but then past that it's all open outdoor space. It's like 4 large bars and a ton of seating. We went for Tacos and Tequila in Soulard and they made Caribbean Shrimp tacos that went off! They're always generous when they pour too.“

“One of the best spots to eat downtown—perfect before a game or even on a slower night. The staff has been there for years, and it really shows in the friendly, family-like atmosphere. Great food, fair prices, and consistently good service. Highly recommend!“

“Yaqui's is a great little dive bar and has real music playing all the time. Hadn't been here before, but glad to see two of my favorite performers, Rob & Amy! I ordered the St Louis Classic Specialty Pizza, topped with pork steak and Red Hot Riplets. Dee-Lish!😋 I'll have plenty of lunch leftovers! Also got a delicious Jazzberry drink to chase down the pizza! Love the atmosphere and people who work there! I recommend trying out Yaqui's!“

“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!“

“Great vibe in this space. Lindsey was our bartender. She was fun & served my craft cocktail like a boss. They have one of the best THC beverages that I’ve tasted. I’ll do a separate review for Hi-Pointe Drive-In but it is a shared food menu in the brewery. It has the best smash burger that I’ve ever had, other than my mom’s. The pretzel with beer cheese is amazing!“

“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.“
