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 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! ✨“

“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!“

“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 !!!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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 🐢“

“Great staff and great food!!!“

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

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

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“Hey now! I just spent four straight days working with the St. Louis Blues Society for the Soulard Roots and Blues Festival at Big Daddy's in Soulard. This is the second year that I have worked the festival, and I have to say we couldn't have picked a better venue for this festival. We had 30 bands from Friday to Monday and it went great.

It went great due to the hard work by the volunteers at the Blues Society, Andy Coco and his crew from Dogtown Records doing the sound, and the tremendous staff at Big Daddy's.

This review is actually meant to praise the people who own and run this bar. Ryan owns the place, and I can tell that he must be a great boss (besides being a stellar businessman). The staff was nice and helpful and cheerful and accommodating and I can't say enough about how they were so low stress, just like a four day barrage of festival goers was a normal occurrence. It was a wonderful experience (so was last year, but I forgot to leave a review) because of the staff. Thank you!

The food is surprisingly good at Big Daddy's and the drinks are priced fairly and poured well. I love the patio there, too. I think if you went there on a normal day you would have a similar experience with this place. You can tell these folks enjoy working there and working together. Great place, highly recommended.“

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

“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!!“

“Great place to watch a soccer game.“

“You can never go wrong with an Irish pub. Hayden's was fun. Tons of seating, good music and the bartender was hustling for the crowd at the bar. Had a St. Louis style pizza, very good, lots of menu options available. I only sat at the bar but its a big place with lots of seating.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great place whether you want to dance or just hang out with friends. Good thing is that there's no cover charge (except for special events); bad thing is that drinks are crazy expensive. We would honestly go way more often if we weren't spending $12-16 per basic drinks like Malibu pineapple. Sidenote: If you're not lucky enough to shuttle or gocart from whence you come, make sure you build in half an hour to find parking and walk to the door. But this is the case for any place in that area. Still, definitely worth affording once a month for the vibe.“

“Maggie O’Brien’s is a real gem. From the moment we walked in, the staff made our family feel welcome with genuine smiles and helpful suggestions. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and they went out of their way to accommodate our kids by offering high chairs, smaller portions, and menu ideas that kept everyone happy. The food was delicious, so yummy. The kids loved their meals and they even made naked wings for my daughter, a suggestion from our server when she said she didn’t like sauces, even offered to get her something different if she didn’t like them. The atmosphere is lively but comfortable, exactly what you want for a family meal. Maggie’s has great service, tasty food, and a truly family-friendly team.“

“An excellent establishment! Great beer and cocktails. Their GM Sarah was so kind and helpful! Her knowledge of beer and their cocktail menu made me choosing my drink easy.
Plus, I hear they do events and reservations upstairs. I can’t wait to bring my company in for a happy hour.“

“Some people call this the best pizza in St. Louis, and I agree with those people. If you are in a hurry call ahead, or just chill out and enjoy good company.

The pizza is amazing. I’ve never been there and the server made me feel very welcome.“

“Grease was old and the food was cold“

“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.“
