50 Best Cocktail Bars near Webster Groves

“We had a great dinner. Kids had the steak and unlike many places, they were willing to go as rare as my 8 year old wanted for her child size steak which was nice. Service was also great, excellent timing and attention. …and bit off topic but if the hostess with the curly red hair sees this, I hope you know that your natural runway walk doesn’t need to be ignored.. if you aren’t modeling, you should be! ✨💃🏼“

“My husband and I came here for our anniversary. I made reservations online and in the comments added that we would be celebrating our anniversary. The restaurant went above and beyond with an anniversary card at the table to sparklers in our dessert! It was so special, a dinner to really remember! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great! We will be back!“

“Cocktails. Food. Service. Music. Vibe. Everything was top tier. Had a lovely time and we will be back again. We made a reservation on Google, it was simple and we got sat right away. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Absolutely delightful! The pizza had the best gluten free crust and the Ozark mushrooms on top were so fresh. I will absolutely be back“

“My husband and I have been to to The Vandy twice.

Once to have a cocktail: the service was great, the ambiance was awesome, but the drinks were incredible!

The second time for a mixology class (Oct 2025): set up was great, but our Mixology Expert, Parker? TOP NOTCH. We expected a fun time learning, making, and having drinks, but it was more than that. It was an awesome experience. He was so knowledgeable, accomodating, and just overall superb! I highly recommend doing this class! It was a great Saturday afternoon date.“

“Amazing people, a spectacular Benton Park gem for those located nearby. No fake fancery or pompous attitude, just some awesome people, both bartenders and customers. Also- you can BYO food. And there is a Rallys a block away. So, in essence, they serve rally’s. If that’s your thing.“

“Let’s get one thing straight, the Arancini Bites at 360 Westport are not food… they’re a full-blown personality trait.
I ordered them thinking, “Yeah yeah, fried rice balls, how life-changing could this really be?”

Turns out… I was wildly unprepared.
These things show up looking all casual, golden, minding their own business, then you take one bite and suddenly you’re sitting there in silence, questioning why you’ve tolerated lesser appetizers your entire life. Crispy on the outside, molten three-cheese chaos on the inside like it was engineered by someone who clearly understands power.

And then they hit you with the marinara, not some sad side sauce, but a full supporting actor that deserves billing. Pecorino romano comes in hot with that salty punch, and the truffle oil? Just enough to remind you that you’re eating something way out of your league.

Here’s the problem… they only give you so many. Which is bold. Because now you’re sitting there doing math, deciding which “friends” at the table you’re willing to cut out of your life so you can secure one more bite.

By the end, I wasn’t sharing. I wasn’t talking. I wasn’t even pretending to be a decent human being. I was protecting the last arancini like it was my retirement plan.

360 Westport didn’t just make an appetizer, they created a situation.
Order them. And if you don’t… stay home.

You’re not ready.“

“It was a great time out with family and friends for a birthday celebration! We booked a booth area ahead of our visit with a dart board that had a variety of dart games to play. I had drinks and an appetizer. The drinks and food were delightful! We had so much fun playing the non-traditional dart games!“

“Always a fun place to go to have a relaxing time!!“

“Silk Road Lounge was really great. The Golden Monkey was the best drink I've had in a very long time. My partner thoroughly enjoyed his as well. Phenomenal balance, vibe was on point, jams were great, and we enjoyed our time. We will stop back thru whenever we visit STL.“

“Go to this bar. Bike parking right up front, every band I've seen so far are all very good, I immediately made friends with everyone there, I became family in 3 visits. Everyone watches out for everyone, no fights, drinks are very reasonable, there's good parking around back. The bar owner Judy commands respect and everyone loves her. If you like slayer, and pink Floyd, and grateful dead, and megadeth, this is the bar. I'd say it's my favorite bar period.“

“Great place to connect with friends and family.“

“friendly. neighborhood bar vibe. a place where you can drink and think or laugh and talk. oh, you can smoke in here! small stage for karaoke/live music. no darts or pool table but there is golden tee! smokers can be free here (they have a cig machine.) super friendly service. 5/5 will be coming back here for sure“

“The food is top tier for me, the environment, the , vibe, the music. it's like one big family reunion everytime we meet.I love Janey she a young black queen with a beautiful soul“

“NBC was a really nice place to go and hang out and socialize. It was pretty crowded but the people it was crowded with was pretty cool and laid-back. The drinks was good they weren't to water down and the prices were Fair. My overall experience at NBC was great.“

“what a fun place so friendly awesome bartenders and owner!! You have to try this little hideaway!!“

“Really chill and modern spot—I went with a friend for poetry night and it was very high concentrated energy, very community forward. Wasn’t super loud, and was good for a calm check in with friends.

I went 2 days later on a whim, they were charging a cover which I didn’t realize. But it was only $5 per, so better than other places. I’d never been to a dance bar before but this shit was popping like I felt like I was at the Boiler Room with Charli there.

The bartenders are cute, helpful, offer great service. Also they have some delicious NA options — try a raspberry sour. Check their ig for updates.“

“Awesome place!!! they make ANY type of drink, anyway you want it!!! Plus, the main bartender there is amazing!!! 💯“

“My fiancé and I always have such a great time when we visit. We LOVE viewing the latest art being displayed and the Dj/Dance atmosphere. The staff is kind and eclectic and professional. We highly recommend this spot!!“

“Flank steak & Short Ribs!“

“Remarkable Defined: “Something so striking it makes you want to discuss or remark upon it.” This is Wright’s Tavern’s undercurrent. You feel the need - the obligation even - to touch on every aspect, each component, of this memorable dining experience.

We started with cocktails - sazerac was the crowd pleaser, and conversation starter for the evening. Tried to order one of these in Australia once...

For starters we took advantage of the scallop special and the crab cake - a menu mainstay. What is great about the special is they allow you to scale. Need another scallop? Two? No problem. Both superb and table was split as to which was the better. I leaned to the crabcake, as the scallop, while beautifully crusted, was just cooked enough to require a knife while I would have liked it fork-tender.

For the entrees we ordered the 20oz ribeye but substituted the offered side (mashed) for the dauphinoise potatoes. Astounding. The steak was perfectly cooked, and the dauphinoise may well haunt my dreams. As a steak purist, I was skeptical of their use of sauces and gravies but the mustard jus served with the ribeye is expertly paired. It needs to be noted they consider all the sides that come with their steaks interchangeable, and substitutes are welcomed and all sauces can be served on the side as well. Other entrees were the potato crusted halibut and the steak frites. Both beautifully presented and very enjoyable.

For dessert we ordered the cheesecake and the crème brûlée, the latter was silkier and smoother than what you may find elsewhere while the former was determined by all at the table to be their favorite. Recommend both without hesitation. 5/5

The service IS truly remarkable and I think what separates this venture from its peers. Professional, staid, but in an approachable fluid manner that effortlessly flows throughout the room while being omniscient without omnipresence. It is, however, ever obvious they hope to not have you linger, as after 2 hours our check was presented without request. I didn’t love that, but understand the logistical need. 5/5

Lastly, as noted by others the space is constricted. My neighbor behind me and I had a mini jousting match with our chairs. Even the short walk to your table over uneven floor should be done gingerly as you make your way to your smallish chair. 3/5“

“This place was AMAZING!! The food was so thoughtfully creative and prepared with obvious talent and love. We enjoyed meeting owner brothers and hearing their story of bringing their Yucatan culture and roots to the St. Louis food scene. Everything we tried was beyond delicious. This is a must-try for authentic Mexican food inspired by the Yucatan region.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. The atmosphere was excellent and staff was attentive. Full disclosure, I was here for an event involving work and everything was delicious, including the drinks. I can't give a complete recommendation as I did not try any food off the menu. However, I will say that the food that was provided for the group was phenomenal!“

“Great cocktails, food, and service. Maggie was a great waitress!“

“🔥 One Stop. All Flavor. Pierce Creek Delivers 🔥 If you’re looking for a true one-stop shop with incredible quality, Pierce Creek absolutely delivers. This place is so much more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. You’ve got a butcher shop, bakery, deli, soup starters, a bar, and a full restaurant all in one location. It’s the kind of place you can pop into for one thing and leave with five. What really sets them apart is their beef—raised on the owners’ ranch, completely grass-fed with no hormones or steroids. And trust me, you can taste the difference. The atmosphere is spotless, welcoming, and thoughtfully done. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and our food came out hot, fresh, and amazingly quick. Whether you’re in the mood for something casual or a more elevated dining experience, their menu has you covered. I had the mushroom and Swiss double smash burger on a potato bun, and wow—it was packed with flavor. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and everything just worked together beautifully. I paired it with a side of tallow fries that were perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of rich flavor. This is definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again and again.“

“I absolutely love The Fountain on Locust! It is by far one of my favorite restaurants in St. Louis! The food is amazing and the dessert is always the perfect way to end the meal! Every time I have been to The Fountain on Locust, I have left happier than when I came in! The staff is very welcoming and they always do a great job, providing top-tier service!“

“Great wine, place to lounge and relax with friends . Best bartender and server“

“The food is amazing. The location is great. The service is impeccable. This is THE place to be!“

“While I did not eat there myself, I called in from 600 miles away to surprise my son and his girlfriend! They were there to celebrate his birthday and the news that he had just passed the Bar exam! The staff were just as excited to be in on the plan as I was - they asked all the right questions to make sure it went down exactly as I envisioned and even called me afterwards to let me know it was a success! This South Carolina Mom really appreciated how the restaurant took the extra time on a busy Friday night (Halloween no less) to make patrons feel special! THANK YOU!“

“This place is so, so cool. My cousin took me out for dinner and I had never even heard of this spot. Wow, it’s such a beautiful and moody spot full of charm!! We had to wait 15 minutes for a booth but I didn’t mind because this place serves LOOKS. The decor was awesome! Everything from the stellar service, crispy and lacey smash burgers and gorgeous dining room(s) made me realize why this spot is always recommended to me. We were very happy with our food and it was under $50 for two people! Check out Golden Hoosier, you won’t regret it.“

“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!“

“Beautiful place. Excited to try their night time cocktail hour.“

“Fabulous food. So glad they have re-opened“

“Love having more queer, chill spaces ❤️“

“If you haven’t been to Cellar House yet, you’re missing out. It’s one of those rare spots that feels like a hidden gem — honestly surprised it wasn’t busier on a Friday night.
The bourbon selection is excellent, and they went above and beyond by making a custom Chinese Manhattan for us that wasn’t even on the menu. That kind of flexibility and attention to detail really stands out.
The food is clean, straightforward, and very well executed. The ahi sliders were perfectly seared — wouldn’t change a thing. The fries were crispy, clearly cooked in clean oil, and seasoned just right, paired with a bright, well-balanced aioli. The rigatoni had vibrant, developed flavors — highly recommend keeping it as is without adding meat. It holds its own.
Service was exceptional. We stayed about 30 minutes past closing catching up with a friend and never felt rushed. In fact, they offered another round. That level of hospitality is rare.
The patio ambiance deserves its own mention — relaxing, tucked away, and surprisingly peaceful despite being near a busy road. It’s the perfect spot to sip a bourbon or enjoy a glass of wine and unwind.
They rotate their menu seasonally, and you can tell they genuinely care about what they’re doing.
No notes, no requests — just a great experience all around. From a customer, a chef, and someone who needed a solid night to relax… thank you.“

“I've had a fantastic time here! The owners, bar staff, and everyone who comes in create such a warm and friendly atmosphere. It's always a wonderful experience, time after time!“

“Absolutely amazing dining experience. The locally sourced ingredients made every dish feel fresh and thoughtfully prepared. We did the chef’s selection menu and it was hands down some of the best food I’ve had in a very long time — every course was creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our server was incredible as well, attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even better. One of the best restaurant experiences we’ve had in St. Louis. Highly recommend!“

“great people awesome music“

“Wow this place was amazing, I cannot wait to go back next time I’m in town!!! The menu was a unique take on brunch familiar brunch items. Everything sounded so good it was tough to decide what to get. We all got different meals to share and all of it was delicious! And pretty big portions, oh it was SO good. I had a medicinal mushroom coffee tasted great and had me feeling great all day.“

“I drive past this place a lot and never paid it any attention. My friend and I wanted some frozen drinks and food. When I say this place was a pleasant surprise. From the security to the ladies working at the bar we felt cared for. Even the other patrons were really nice. You can tell they are regulars there and we enjoyed that. The drinks were A1 in taste and buzz level. The only “issue” I had was the menu I read about online wasn’t as extensive. I had my heart set on something I didn’t see in person but that’s not a dealbreaker. They will see us again.“

“I love this restaurant. The menu is eclectic and the food is fantastic and the cocktails are really good. Great atmosphere inside and on the patio. I've been there for both lunch and dinner and the staff is very attentive and super nice. The Chicken Phad Thai Nachos are awesome!“

“what's not to like? Great people, Wonderful cocktails, layed back and relaxed, super wedding venue!!! Need I say more?“
