They make you feel so welcomed and their vast knowledge ensures you will find something right for you. The drinks here are wonderful! You are bound to find something you like or Jenny will work with you to create something that will fit you. Their drink menu is extensive. They offer cocktails for every spirit and there are always seasonal cocktails as well as their signature cocktails. Some of them even come with a show. They offer two happy hour times and at 10pm nightly, everyone gets a free shot as we all sing Jenny's Luvwoo song. They also have a wide variety of mocktails and teas. They don't sell food but you are able to bring your own our you can order the delicious food from Ocha next door. Jenny and Zyi are very community oriented. Their bar features art from many artists as well as music. They offer beginner mixology training, support groups, Mandarin Chinese lessons, alcohol tastings, open mic and karaoke nights, and so much more. You can take part in the many challenges, and they are also family friendly. Definitely give them a try. You won't be disappointed!

Visited with the plan of eating and playing darts, however upon arrival to the host station…read morerealized I should have made a reservation. Arrived around 7:30 on a Friday night and the next available reservation wasn't until 10:30/10:45. There are about 5-6 dart stations throughout the restaurant that accommodate different group sizes. The seating was open so after roaming a bit cozied into a booth behind the bar where a tv was near by to watch the basketball game. From entrance to exit, everyone was friendly and warm. From my vantage point I observed all of the employees working together to make sure drinks were served quickly, food orders came out hot and guests' needs were met. The cocktail and mocktail was delicious, the lobster elote with seasoned tortillas was very flavorful and entrees did not disappoint. Validation tickets for parking in the parking garage next door is a plus! I'll be going back, have to try the darts!

I don't play darts so I have zero skill here, but, with the plethora of games, there is fun to be found. I was definitely throwing from the "Rookie" line, but it didn't matter, we still had a good time! It was a little cramped but there were quite a few of us in there so understandable. With this private booth, we had a selection of appetizers, a dessert tower, and unlimited booze. Of the appetizers, the buffalo chicken sliders were my favorite and the desserts (cannoli, cream puffs, double-chocolate cookies to name a few) were surprisingly good! The bar staff working that evening were pleasant and accommodating, ensuring we all had a drink in one hand and a plate of food within arms' reach. All-in-all, I had a fun time at Flight Club St. Louis, I'd come back for a few rounds of darts and drinks!

The Lindbergh Tartine was on point today with delicious sausage gravy over house-made sourdough, two sunny side up eggs and the always fantastic crispy potatoes. Soooo gooood! The pleasing decor, cute bistro-style tables and live plants makes this spot feel so warm. After coming here multiple times, I sometimes look for small improvements that I might suggest, but I'm consistently unsuccessful! With that said, I do think it's time to put some purse hooks up under the bar seating....still getting a solid 5-Star review! Come to Ivy Cafe and see for yourself!

My party sat on the small couch and two chairs closest to the doors. The ambiance and lighting were the same, but the vibe felt a bit elevated. Maybe because of the music being played? After browsing the menu, the guy came over to take our drinks. I went with Pele the fire God. I was ecstatic because finding a drink with passion fruit in Stl is like finding the golden ticket! It's a rare treat but when you find it, it's worth it! It came out super fast and was a bit more frothy than I would have liked. In fact, I felt like there was more froth than alcohol but the little I did get made it worth it. For my second drink I went with the limoncello spritz but got it with sprite instead of club sodas. For the record, I've only had a couple spritzes in my life but i really enjoyed this one. It was light, refreshing, and def a cocktail to sip, sit back and enjoy. Everyone in my party was laughing and having a great time. The service was outstanding and the drinks were equally matched. Fair warning there's only one restroom, so hydrate accordingly!

I tried their mushroom fried rice and as someone who is not the biggest mushroom lover. I really enjoyed it! They have a great selection of cocktails, as well as some tasty apps before your meal. I look forward to coming back in the future!

I tried the Pretty in Pink cocktail, which was well-balanced and enjoyable, though the pour felt a bit light for a martini. Normally one martini gives me a slight buzz, but that wasn't the case here. We started with the onion rings as an appetizer. The portion size was generous, and they were tasty overall, though they had a tangy seasoning dusted on top that seemed a little odd at first. Surprisingly, it still worked. I ordered the Good Burger, and it was honestly one of the most flavorful smash burgers I've ever had. I was genuinely impressed. I got the sauce on the side since it also came with the onion rings, and unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of it -- it was a bit runny and lacked flavor. My friend ordered the vegan burger and absolutely loved it. The inside of the restaurant was cute and had a great atmosphere, though there was an unusual smell indoors, so I was very thankful we were able to grab one of the outdoor tables. Outdoor seating is pretty limited, though, so keep that in mind if you prefer sitting outside.

Clayton was busy, so street parking was hard to find. Once seated, we were greeted with friendly service and were brought water. I ordered a ginger beer with cranberry juice added to it for a refreshing mocktail. We ordered the Squeaky Cheese to start, the golden-brown cheese curds were gooey and had the perfect crunch. They were served with marinara and a serrano dill aioli. The aioli had just the right amount of spice, complementing the dill flavor. The marinara was saucy and also good. I ordered the Bacon Jam Burger with fries. The burger was juicy, sweet, and had a nice crunch. The bacon jam was subtle, but it enhanced the overall flavor. My only complaint was that the bottom bun came out a bit soggy causing the burger to lose structure as I ate it. The fries were thin and crunchy! I had a lovely experience and would like to come back to try a cocktail!

Unfortunately, since the new ownership took over, everything that made it special has been stripped away. What was once a cozy neighborhood bar with skilled bartenders and a genuine sense of community has been replaced by something that feels soulless and performative. The new concept seems to care more about being an "art gallery" and chasing trends than honoring what longtime patrons loved. They scrapped the menu that people came back for, pushed out the staff who gave the place its spirit, and turned a beloved bar into something completely unrecognizable.
