“Definitely check this local St. Louis Brewery out! When the weather is nice, they have a fun & chill outdoor seating area. Really good beers, too! We did end up going inside and it's unique and has a super fun vibe! The bartender was really friendly & sociable! We didn't try the food but hear it's good too! Also, grabbed a couple of their free stickers!!“
“I’m giving everything five stars because the food and beer were good and the staff excellent, save one a-hole manager. Basically we were there on a busy running club night, and as a family of 4 having just arrived to St. Louis looking for dinner, we popped into Heavy Riff to give it a try. We waited in line with everyone else at the “front counter” and a lovely female bartender waited on us and let us know we could grab a table and then she’d help us on the side of the bar where it’d be less hectic for us to order (since we had kids in tow). This was very thoughtful and accommodating of her in the masses of young runners. We met her there and she offered great advice on what to order for kids (spice levels) and as a vegetarian. We were about halfway through ordering when Rick (I got his name later since he ruined the vibe of our experience) butted in and told her she was supposed to be taking orders at the front counter not side bar (about 4 feet away) and said she had to get back there. By his command she had to leave us hanging to wait for the “proper” bartender to take our order which was a few minutes later. He didn’t offer to help. Meanwhile as the staff was slammed with orders this Rick jerk just stood in the back and reined over the staff. He didn’t lift a finger. Even later when I went to settle the tab at the bar he stood at his throne position in the back scrolling, messaging on his phone. (Super unprofessional) I was standing right next to him and he didn’t ask if he could help me. I sure hope Rick isn’t the owner because if he is I would hope employees would quit. Rather, to the owner, it is time to find yourself a new manager as Rick is useless and frankly ruined the good energy we had going. I felt for the staff that had to deal with his power trip. Though we are staying fairly close by, we won’t be back.“
“The bottle works is a great place to experience the wide variety of Schlafly’s beers! There’s a huge merch section and great areas to accommodate groups of friends. The outdoor patio is a perfect place for a cold beer on summer day. They also host a ton of different events throughout the year.“
“Not quite ready to end my Monday, I stopped at Perennial for a beer and a small bite. Very busy tonight but there was an open table in the corner (and bonus - a power outlet!) where I sat. I was able to order a beer and the olives appetizer and sit for an hour or so before I was ready to head onwards.It's a comfy space and a little boisterous. A nice vibe for a local beer establishment and they do have a full menu.Parking: Street parking in front. Don't block driveways or fire hydrants!“
