“Great bar, great staff. Unfortunately, the burger wasn't great but the atmosphere of the place, the staff and everything was awesome. The jukebox is amazing when it's not on auto play. If I'm ever in the area again , which I doubt, I would definitely go again. Brilliant place, and thank you for the hospitality and making a random English dude feel comfortable.“

“Love this place. Bartenders are nice, quick and make delicious drinks on their rotating seasonal drinks menu, especially Harley. I really love when they have themed drinks for the various shows they house.
If you're looking for local drag and burlesque or to get on stage with some karaoke with fun DJs like Skeleta, Dizzy Punch, and Disko Kate.
Love all their NA options and excited for their expansion!“

“FINALLY! Somewhere in St. Louis knows how to make a burger right. This is seriously the best burger and fries the city has to offer, and their menu is appropriately priced. I was also pleasantly surprised they carry Delirium Tremens. They have a super laid back atmosphere to boot - play some pool while you're there! Definitely don't sleep on The Drawing Board.“

“Yesterday The Family and I went a tried a new eatery by The Grove. The Bootleggin’s . If you like Burnt Ends. It was the Best we ever had. They were soooo Ono delicious. Broke da Mouth with every bite. Wings were Biggins, moist inside & Crispy outside. Done Da Right way. The Penrose disco fries were sick with deliciousness. The staff was very Engaging and friendly. All burgers were on target. I had the pleasure to talk with and learn the story of one of the owners named Brenton. Thank you for your time answering our questions. I’m going to give a 4.5 out of 5 Coconuts 🥥 falling out the Coconut 🌴 tree. Only thing I dislike was how low the urinal was in the men’s bathroom. But I’m am 6 foot 5” Man Lol 😆 Thanks to all The Crew for making us feel super Welcomed with your Positive Vides and Ono delicious Food Grinds. You are The Truth of Brunt Ends.“

“This place is a hidden gem and absolutely great. Worth the trip to the strip mall. Bartenders are great. Beer selection and food options are also surprisingly awesome. Pinball and punk rawk for the win.

Parking: Bruh, it's in a strip mall

Kid-friendliness: Not a good spot for the kiddos

Wheelchair accessibility: You could pop a wheelie here. Wheelchair accessible“

“Very friendly staff, food was better than you'd expect at a bar and overall a very good place to have a drink or 2 with good food and festive atmosphere“

“Attended a birthday party here yesterday. Great ciders and food. Staff was amazing as well. Will definitely be back!“

“I've been coming to this eclectic, artistic, ever-changing bar for years. I do miss the Rastafarian cooks from the old days in the late '80s. It is a mandatory stop for a drink or three whenever out of towners want to do something a little" different ".
From the first floor to the upstairs to the various patio areas there is something interesting and wonderful around every
corner. Just do it !“

“Great pizza and friendly atmosphere!“

“Great place for adults 35 an older. Very laid back. The music is wonderful. They offer outdoor seating. The drinks and food prices are great. They have happy hour on Saturdays, not sure of any others days. On Saturday, they offer 2 for 1 drink special for the ladies starting at 7pm. I love going there and will continue. Get there if you haven't been. Age limit is strictly enforced. Security on site.“

“Super fun place and welcoming comfortable atmosphere“

“Great food. Great sauces as well. Authentic. Try them out!!“

“We came here with our Boston fan group to watch the Celtics for their title clinching game and had a great experience. The staff was super accommodating and the food was great. We look forward to mixing Ice & Fuel into our game watch rotation in the future!“

“A cool little dive bar with pinball machines. On a Sunday night they seem to have some league whereby people play them all night so normal patrons can’t use them. It’s a pretty cool place though, and if you can find a night where you can play pinball or just listen to the jukebox, I’d definitely recommend it. Tiny chef is excellent also and they sell food at a window inside the bar.“

“The drinks are so delicious, I had a large bomb pop, You can definitely taste the liquor“

“Best dive bar in St Louis. Always a friendly face.“

“I like this place because the drinks are always mixed really good...good music always playing plus 8th inning offers alot of different games to play while your there..keeno..pool... pinball...and they have keroke every Friday. The owner of this place has a nice establishment and has done a great job at making you feel at home while your there. Love this place!!!“

“Over the past three years I have frequented this bar, and I have to say it’s one of the hidden gems of our city. Stan’s is a slice of south city and has cemented itself as an iconic establishment. No two nights are the same, but you feel at home when you walk through the door. Love this place. The staff are top shelf.“

“I love their food. And iv always been treated very well. My babies love to come here and eat and so far iv not had anything I didn’t like off their menu.“

“My second visit and Julie & Steve were awesome….had drinks ready for us with a smile and took great care of us while there, I would highly recommend for a Friday night fun outing, Fun Bar!!“

“It is small, all the chairs are bar height and so are the tables. There was no place for us to sit in front of the band so we had to sit off to the side at the bar. Not really an issue for us but it was not very comfortable. It was quite Smoky and they left the doors closed. I believe it would have been better to leave the door open so some of the smoke could filter out. The owner was also the bartender and I like her a lot! If you are a smoker this would probably be a great place for you. If you don't mind sitting on bar height stools then this is the place for you. The bathrooms are extremely tiny after you get into the stall... So it's not big girlfriend friendly.
I just don't think this was the place for us but by the amount of people that were there it is definitely the place for a lot of other people!
I definitely think that you should go here at least once ?“

“Great bartenders, great prices, and it's a clean "dive" bar.“

“Visiting from out of town and had to come back here twice in one day! Emily was amazing and I wish I was here more for her. Food was great and I can’t wait to visit St. Louis again for this place specifically. I walked in as a stranger and lefty as a friend with everyone. I might have been the only one that wasn’t a regular. Amazing prices and atmosphere.“

“Rad and cozy venue and bar. Great sound system as well. Very fun to play here and see shows.“

“Great staff !! Lots of fun games and just a down home atmosphere!“
