Can a dive bar be cute? If so, The Lounge is a cute dive bar…read more It is simply decorated, compact in size and a welcoming atmosphere. I discovered, The Lounge because I arrived super early for a wine tasting at another business in the plaza. My friend and I were immediately won over, when we saw the bar dog. Her name is, Lucy. I liked that the front window is tinted so you cannot see in, but once inside you can clearly see the outside. If you like to play slots while you sip your inexpensive cocktail, The Lounge has about 4 or 6 machines for you to play. If you do, good luck. Best of all, the drinks are super affordable aka "cheap". The bartender was friendly to us being newcomers. Seeing the rest of the patrons at the bar and every stool was full, you could tell they were regulars at this neighborhood watering hole. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd definitely stop by for a cocktail.

There is a generously sized bar and with a few high top tables along the side wall. There are several slot machines if you're interested in trying your luck! The bar offers your standard fare of beer, wine, mixed drinks and shots. They offer a few prepackaged snacks including chips and nuts. We were able to order a small pizza. They offer the Dog Town frozen pizzas. These are among my favorite pizzas. And it paired well with the ice cold beer. Our bartender was friendly and made sure we were taken care of.

I had an incredible time at this year's crawfish boil event, and it truly lived up to the hype…read more From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt lively, welcoming, and full of tradition in the best way. The highlight was definitely the authentic Louisiana-style feast featuring freshly boiled crawfish from Cajun Boil Company. Everything came out perfectly seasoned, and the traditional fixings made the experience feel like a true taste of the South. I also loved that the ticket included a frozen cocktail -- it was strong, refreshing, and the perfect pairing for the spice. The value at $45 for 2 lbs of crawfish, fixings, and a drink felt more than fair for the quality and experience. What made the event even more meaningful was learning about its roots in honor of Al Rubin and his long-standing tradition of hosting crawfish boils for friends and family. It felt really special to be part of something with so much heart behind it. Knowing that all net proceeds benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation made the experience even more impactful. This wasn't just a fun afternoon -- it was a celebration of community, tradition, and giving back. I would absolutely attend again and recommend it to anyone who loves good food with a purpose

There are couches, high tops, regular tables, a patio, and cool chairs for seating. They offer hot and cold drinks but some may be coffee so beware of the extra caffeine! The venue often has loud music so the guests talk loudly too so this makes for a noise venue. Plus they were showing sports on the televisions so the cheering made it even louder.

Part of the problem is the audience, who are mostly not very serious about music so they put up with covers of songs that they've heard 400 times before, instead of wanting to seek out interesting original music - or bands that do at least some of their own original music.

This is now my second time at this place and each time is better than the next! I came here with…read moresome friends to grab a drink before we headed to our next spot. Granted we got there relatively early (8:30), so there were ample seats at the bar. I went with the Flirt and Flounce, which consists of reposado, lemon, honey syrup, and sparkling rose. I tasted the reposado in the first few sips, but it wasn't until I got farther down in the drink that I tasted the sparkling rose and other drinks. The drink is subtle and not overly sweet. I love this place for its ambiance, good drinks, and nice vibes. I definitely feel grown being here, and it gives off that impression when you walk in the door. Although this may be a controversial take, it's nice that gratuity is already included! While we were only here for an hour, I know I'll be back and I can't wait to try more drinks.

There is some limited outdoor seating on the sidewalk and indoor seating. Our group enjoyed delicious appetizers, and there were limited happy hour specials from their cocktail menu. I wanted wine and must say that they have really great wine - I enjoyed both the Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay. Also they had the most adorable bathroom with framed high school photos of celebrities (St. Louis is the most high school fixated city in America, IYKYK). The service was friendly but a bit uneven, considering how empty it was when we first arrived. There were some long waits for drinks, and a couple of mix-ups. I believe the main source of confusion was that one big check had been started, but with people coming and going at different times, it had to be split into separate checks on the back side so people could pay before leaving. I do recommend them for happy hour and plan to return.

Luckily my buddy Timmy, resident aficionado and official member at Lit, had me covered. I got a little crash course on how to pick a cigar, how to cut it, and how to light it. Naturally, the place gave big Mad Men energy but minus the misogyny and definitely better air filters. I wouldn't say I'm a cigar expert at this point, but I look like less of a clown blowing smoke. So friendly and accommodating.
