    Great views from the rooftop patio
    Brenda C.

    Went to the Art Bar before a show at the Fox, great view, nice bar, but they are a little light on help, the bartender was working hard but she was getting overwhelmed and this was a Tuesday. I plan to go back and give it another shot as the vibes were great, I'm hoping the service issue was just a fluke...

    My friend and I ended up here on a whim - we wanted a drink at a festive bar, given it's the season of holiday pop-ups! Our drinks were very tasty, we opted for desert vibes. The presentation was clearly on point! But, rather pricy for a cocktail in STL, with the automatic gratuity my total was over $20. Not my favorite holiday pop-up bar ever, it felt a little bit lackluster in the decor department. I don't think they even had Christmas music - if they did it was very quiet. Bartender was fine, not very attentive. We finished our drinks and never were asked if we wanted another/the check, so after 20 minutes we just decided to ask for the check.

    I visited the hotel for the art and bar experience. The hotel lobby is a small Art Gallery. There is two art installations exhibited. The Cirus Flora and another The Gallery of doors: Intergalactic ecosystems. It's was great to learn about the non profit circus based out of STL. And then was immersed in out of this world experience with the Gallery of Doors. The rooftop bar had a great ambiance and great view of the city. I would visit again

    Their Christmas pop-up! The Moose Mug Lounge is a must, if not solely for the moose-shaped glasses some of the drinks are served in. Rooftop vibes but inside seating so no need to fear the cold. It was poppin on the Monday night I was there with my group, but we were kindly moved down to a private area with a server downstairs. Our service was super quick and wonderful, especially considering how many different drinks were ordered. The festive lights and vibe of any pop up bar but with the added art to gave upon here makes it stand out.

    We decided to check out art bar after a show at the Fox. We tried some holiday cocktails for their Christmas pop up bar and everything was pretty good! I loved the espresso martini and the whipped cream and cookies on top definitely took it up a notch

    We went for the Moose Mug Lodge pop up Christmas bar and it was so cute! We loved the movie theme they picked and how much they stuck to it! The views of the city here and wonderful and offer a unique view of the skyline. Drinks were pricier than last year when I went here but we still had a good time!

    Roof Top Bar is gorgeous. It's dimmly lit to give a romantic feel, but the music is so loud though can't hear one another. We didn't get any food here this time. However the drinks were on point. However, service could have been a a little friendlier. You have to pay to park as well, unless you are lucky enough to find street parking.

    Excellent service at the bar!!! She was very friendly and attentive. They have a great outdoor area overlooking the city. It is a great spot to chill and enjoy the beautiful weather. We tried one of the flatbreads on the happy hour menu. It's more like a thick crust pizza but was very flavorful!

    The drinks were really good and I loved the location. It's such a great spot to hang out! I'd definitely come back again.

    Every rooftop provides a difference perspective of the city, so I'm never disappointed. I love St. Louis, so seeing Her from any angle is a pleasure. - The drinks were ok. - The music was good. - The service was cool. The energy of the people and views made the night. Most of the rooftop is East, North and South - facing.

    Logistics - This location earned points for being a unique spot however overall the experience left a lot to be desired. Art Bar is located on the top floor of the art museum hotel. We were hotel guests so we were already paying for parking but I did see a lot of spots on the street that you could use for free. Once inside take the elevator all the way to the lobby then turn right and head up the staircase. Technically another elevator went all the way but it didn't seem to be the main one. The hotel, lobby and art museum are very cool and worth checking out. Pro tip, you can walk around with your drinks! Experience - I'm super patient with service but I placed an order to go with a cocktail to have while I waited. We had about an hour and a half before a show next door so the plan was to order food to go, drop it off in the room and head out. About 30 mins goes by and my partner joined me, we got another round while we continued to wait. After an hour we were running out of time for the plan. My order was just hummus and tacos & they weren't packed so I was getting concerned. I got the bartenders attention to ask for an eta and they ran back to the kitchen to check, after about 5 more minutes they came out with our food. The food - We grabbed the bag and ran out then dropped off the box in our hotel fridge. When we got back to the room after the show (ready for snacks) I was really disappointed by the contents of our box. Everything was packed together in the same container. The tacos weren't horrible, they did what they needed to do but the hummus was... lacking. Lacking in physical hummus and lacking in flavor. There was maybe a tablespoon max and veggies just tossed on top. If it wasn't so expensive I could have looked past everything but the drinks were around $20 each and with our apps the total came out to almost $100. I hear there are a lot of places close by to try. We just were really focused on getting something easy and ultimately we paid the price of connivence.

    Horrible drinks...they didn't taste good at all. Ordered a fall special drink and it was like drinking cherry medicine, so gross. Overpriced food and drinks that didn't even taste good. Ordered happy hour items but we got charged full price. Scenery on the rooftop bar was nice with good views. They had cute holiday decor but that didn't make up for the nasty food and drinks.

    We wanted to have a drink before we went to a Christmas party and decided a pop up sounded ideal. This place liked very festive... think Christmas Vacation. Even the menu's drinks were named after the movie. The drinks... though a little pricey... we're really good and as you know presentation is everything. The only thing that was not the best is the help in getting there. We drove down the street not knowing where to go. We tried to park in the lot... couldn't, we went around it looking for a sign of some sort. Then we decided to drive the circle in front of the door and noticed the sign for the gallery as we were leaving. After we walked in there were signs. As a person that is directionally challenged this was an issue. That being said I'd definitely go back. The bartenders were great, the presentation of the drinks fantastic and the ambiance was festive. FYI on Saturdays they have s DJ.

The birria tacos were very average, the rice that came with it was absolutely bland and the pastor enchiladas were alright but the meat was mostly charred. The horchata was so dilute, I couldn't taste anything. The only saving grace were the chips and salsa - especially the salsa. Overall, this is a pretty overpriced place for below average food.

I like that this is a mother fast casual option so you can order at the counter and then they will bring the food to you when it's ready. They have a self service station for drinks (no alcohol). I wish I would have taken a picture of the tacos I ordered during my first visit, but I definitely forgot. I ordered a shrimp taco and while I was nervous that it would be small, it as actually a nice size and very filling. Was it a bit spicy? Yes. But I powered through because the flavors were good. The cilantro rice was also so good as a side and I loved the street corn, it was so creamy and delicious. My main pick when I visit now is the half southwest rice bowl with grilled chicken. It is the right portion size and has all the things I love in the rice bowl. I forgot to add avocado/guac on this last visit, but that's usually a good thing to add on top or to the side.

As far as the queso, I didn't really care for the taste. It was something off about it that I can't put my finger on. I was hoping for a great food experience based off other reviews but know all tastebuds are different. My search continues for epic tacos.

RST is owned by an amazing couple who care about their guests and their products. The food is fun and tasty; drinks are fantastic. First off: there's a small parking lot on the east side of the building plus plenty of street parking. Inside you'll be graciously welcomed by the bartender if you slide onto a barstool-- or you can be seated at a table in the dining room or outside. They're usually a few decent beers on tap, and more available in cans. The bar manager does excellent work with a specialty cocktail menu and house-made shrubs and syrups. The house margarita is affordable and very drinkable. While you wait, enjoy complimentary popcorn topped with Rock Star Dust-- their own special blend of seasonings that is also included in several other menu items. Scan the QR code to see the menu of rockstar-named dishes like the glass onion rings, Amy Swinehouse (pork taco) and such. It's all good! (Your server will take your order & bring the food out.) Tamales are especially excellent, made with the owner's mother's authentic recipe. There are a few vegetarian options, rotating specials, and sweet treats as well. You can get in and out pretty quickly if you've got somewhere else to be, or hang for a while and enjoy the cool atmosphere & wonderful people!

    Everything was great! We are sad to see them go. I had the McSabbath, Fish You were Here (the sweet…read moresauce wasn't for me, but the fish was nice and crispy), and the Man in the Box. We tried Eye of the Tiger, Mac & Diane, and Down on the Korner. All were tasty. If anything, I love the menu for clever names. Be sure to get there before they close the doors and grab a bottle of Rock Star Dust, too.

When we walked in, the place was empty, besides the singular bartender standing behind the bar. She told us to sit anywhere we wanted, so we chose a table near the bar. Then, she politely asked us to move to the bar. She apologized and said she was new and that she didn't know what was going on. We started with an order of chips and salsa and shared a mango margarita on the rocks. Let's just say our marg was missing the rocks. The bartender forgot to add ice, so our margita was warm. She gave us a cup of ice to pour in. The marg itself wasn't very strong and tasted pretty syrup-y. Although the chips and salsa only cost us $2.50, I probably could've gone without. I don't think I would've liked them even if they were complimentary. The salsa was decent, but the chips were saltless and flavorless. We ordered two tacos and the arroz con pollo plate. My tacos came out at different times. Both were tiny and disappointing. I had the Hemp Avenue taco and the Sarah Street taco. The black bean juice was everywhere. The tortillas were dry and fell apart. They brought out a quesadilla instead of our arroz con pollo plate. We were confused, but the bartender insisted the order was correct. Then, a few minutes later, the correct plate was brought out. I guess I can't be mad that we scored a free quesadilla. However, it was quite soggy and the cheese was almost a rubbery texture. While we were there, a DJ started playing. The volume of the music went back and forth between increasingly loud and extremely quiet. None of the other staff members acknowledged us whatsoever. It felt like we weren't even there. I hate sounding so pessimistic, so I will say two positive things: their outdoor patio looks like a fun spot in the summer, and I bet this would be a great option if you've been out partying all night and need some food in your belly. Overall a bizarre experience from start to finish!
