    Sunset (has mango)
    Maggie H.

    I've been to Bailey's Chocolate Bar maybe 4-5 times over the years. I always wanted to go more than I did. It can be difficult to get your people to go to a chocolate martini bar just because. Hey, you may think they're into it because it's chocolate, but when it's in the city and the food offerings are limited, people start hitting 30 and it's more difficult to get them to go. My visits being infrequent over a decade are one of the things that will help me remember Bailey's as a special place. Other things: the drinks, the decor, the atmosphere, the roses on the tables, and those small cookies. Thank you, and come back to me if you can, even in my dreams.

    Another business closing I didnt get out to enough! Had a lovey evening with my friend. The Mexican Chocolate drink was tasty. Slightly bitter, but drinkable for it? And I thought the mango dessert was so delicious and cute. The graham cracker crust was great. Rip, Bailey's Chocolate Bar

    Chocolate cheesecake and bread pudding

    First time at Bailey's' Chocolate Bar in probably a decade! Went with some girlfriends - glad we made a reservation, as the space is fairly small. It is so gorgeous inside, a bit dark, and could be slightly loud (but shout out to whoever had a Disney playlist on!). Service was good and our waitress was very friendly! We each got a martini - the classic, the very dark, and the espresso - all were delicious!! Split the spanakopita and fries which were both really yummy (and I'm not usually a big spanakopita fan). then, the main event - split the bread pudding and chocolate cheesecake. Both were delicious! I'd definitely go back - highly recommend for a date night or girls night at the bar even!

    Loved the duck and apple flatbread. The tiramisu martini was excellent! Loved the waiter, the atmosphere and the dessert choices. They have beautiful outdoor patio area to sit in eve (we didn't this trip as it was very cold). Glad we found a new spot for drinks. Menus were outdated, the pickled shrimp cocktail and caprese flatbread are no longer available. The salted caramel old fashioned tasted like gasoline. Just FYI: The restroom is downstairs, not handicap accessible.

    Espresso Martini
    Nicole S.

    This was the final stop we made for my birthday dinner plans on Thursday evening. The espresso martini was TO DIE FOR--the best I've ever had. They were out of several of their desserts, so I didn't get to try the chocolate orange cheesecake (the reason we went there in the first place). It was disappointing, but we settled on the banana split--ya definitely cant go wrong! I'm still dreaming about the layer of crunchy brûlée on the banana. Service was a bit slow but all of the staff were very friendly. It was moderately busy, more than I expected for a Thursday at 9pm--it's clearly a popular spot! The space feels super intimate, definitely a good option for a date. I'm planning to keep an eye on their seasonal offerings to plan another time to go. Although, I'd go for the martini alone!

    Lovers Plate - Aphrodisiacs - Taste For Two
    Anna G.

    Good service and great vibe. Came here with a friend and got cocktails and the sampler plate to split. Was a LOT of food for just two people, we ended up leaving a lot of the popcorn behind. Great place for a date night or a special event. Probably not somewhere I'll come to frequently because it has a limited menu. There was plenty of street parking. The desserts are pretty good but feels as though it's all premade or frozen. I wouldn't describe the food as ultra gourmet but was fun to try it out!

    Lover's Plate
    David S.

    Has a great atmosphere and feel to it. Staff was great, attentive enough but not too much. Thr food itself we got the lover plate. Description itself seemed enticing and when when we got the plate very exciting. But it becomes a disappointment with thr popcorn. Taste and feel cheap and used to fill flare without giving you more. The chocolate balls are very rich. Thr banana brulee was great and so where thr brownies and chocolate chip cookies. I didn't get to taste the macrons. Contrary to thr previous pictures they gVe two not three. But I went there because I had read thry served amazing drinking chocolate. Thr plate itself had two small cups, but rather than drinking or sipping chocolate it was dipping chocolate. It wasn't hot wither but a bit cold not even warm temperature. I had to order a cup of hot chocolate, which didn't take like high percentage of cacao but almost regular hot chocalate but higher end quality. I don't drink so, I have nothing to say about that end of thr business.

    The "Lover's Plate"
    Ali L.

    Went on an absolutely lovely date to this location! Very romantic atmosphere with low lighting and upscale aesthetic. The espresso martini was the best espresso martini I've ever had! We also ordered the lovers plate, which was very similar to that of a charcuterie board where there were multiple types of desserts to sample. We also had the most wonderful server, Jimmy. My partner is hard of hearing and he was very accommodating and friendly. The date was pretty cute too . Cannot recommend this place enough!

    Blondie
    Kaiden H.

    Took my partner here for his birthday. Everything tasted amazing! For drinks we got a dubai chocolate martini and a cappuccino and for food we got the spanakopita, blondie and the bread pudding. I especially LOVED the cappuccino, absolutely perfect. My only critiques is there could be just a tad bit more lighting in the back, it was pretty dim and a little difficult to read the menus. Also the music could be turned down a tad as well. Had a great date here overall and would likely go back :)

    What a lovely experience. Our server Astor was exceptionally good. He was so nice and has such a gentle manner. He made the evening so nice. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and very cozy. We started with drinks, an espresso martini and strawberry whiskey. Both were very good. Bailey's Chocolate Bar is mostly known for dessert but they have a few savory items. Flatbread, cheese and charcuterie, crab cakes. The cheese and charcuterie board was very good with some interesting cheeses. A Norwegian Gjetost was delicious. Crab cakes were great. Crispy and hot. We ended with the lovers plate. A lot of delicious sweets and drinking chocolate. The drinking chocolate was very good and the treats on the plate which were numerous were so good. We had a nice array to take home. I highly recommend Bailey's Chocolate Bar!

    Chocolate martinis
    Erica S.

    Baileys' exceeded my expectations, which were already high because I love chocolate and chocolate martinis! I love that they take reservations too. With the ambiance, it can be a cute romantic or friend date spot, and there is plenty of options for food and drinks. My friends and I focused on trying the drinks but one of them enjoyed the flatbread they ordered. When seated at our table, the server had given us these delicious small cookies for free - one for each person! The chocolate martinis were amazing - my favorite was the signature martini! Certainly want to come back and try more martinis and food in the future though (also heard from a friend that their desserts are great)!

    Bailey's is a longtime establishment in St. Louis. It is located in Lafyette Square which is an area of the city I have always enjoyed. It is a place I tend to go to other restaurants in the area, but stopped in one night after eating at the Polite Society. This is probably the biggest knock for the spot, I don't view it really as an option for food. They do have a modest food menu, but it is definitely thought of as a drinks and dessert place. That probably is inherently tied into the fact it is a chocolate bar! I don't think of that theme overlapping with many great main dishes. I've heard reasonable things about their dishes, but it isn't what anyone really talks about and I've never heard anyone say they went to Baily's for the food. The ambiance is pretty good but very dark. This gives it a romantic vibe. The place is always busy, typically a mixture of couples on dates and girls' nights. I think every time I've been in there was an all girls birthday celebration or bachelorette group. People tend to be dressed up, with this being one of many stops on a night out for many patrons. I think for these sort of activities it is a great spot. I mean my wife and I stopped in on a date night to get a dessert. That is the drawback though, it serves a bit of a niche role in the food/restaurant community in St. Louis. For that role it is great, but it limits it appeal to a degree. If you think a chocolate martini and a slice of indulgent cake sounds great stop in. If you want a porterhouse steak and craft beer go somewhere else.

    Are there any other locations in other States?

    No, this is a local family owned restaurant. They own several restaurants in the StL area.

    So is it open yet? Are reservations required? Are there any covid protocols I need to know about?

    Are they still closed due to water damage? Their website indicates that they are, but the hours here were update two weeks ago.

    Hi Jessie! Baileys' is still temporarily closed but plans to reopen after the first of the year!

    Do they still have complimentary chocolate chip cookies on the table when you're seated?

    No when we went two months ago we did not get any

    Do you have to be 21 to get deserts here?

He made some suggestions after I asked a few questions.

I loved how the miso and sesame came through. My other pick was what my daughter was going to get so I got to try that, too! The So Hip It's Outta Sight made with Blanco Tequila, Green Chile Vodka, Creole Shrubb, Cranberry-Sage Syrup, and Lime. It was sweet and good. I would order either of them again. We arrived late on Sunday, around 9:00 PM and they closed at 10:00 not realizing till we were in and seated that no one else was there, we must have passed the last person that came out as we were coming in.

The vibe is classic, elevated, and gives true cocktail lounge energy -- not loud or chaotic, just intentional and well put together. Now let's talk about what we came for: the drinks. We ordered the Old Fashioned flight, and when I say they did not come to play... they did not come to play. Each one was crafted differently, and you can tell there's real skill behind the bar. These are not bartenders -- these are mixologists. Every drink was balanced, strong (in a good way), and thoughtfully made. Quick tip: If you plan on getting the Old Fashioned flight, make this your last stop of the night... because you will feel it. Service was great, drinks came out in a timely manner, and the overall experience felt elevated from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for a true cocktail experience in St. Louis.

After looking at a handful of menus on the street, we de died on Good Company. Service was great. Very attentive. They immediately asked if we had any dietary issues and then promptly after hearing out needs, made a handful of recommendations. We started with the cauliflower. It was excellent the light sauce and pine nuts really made this dish top notch. The vegetarian and GF adults then split the Caesar salad and the squash seasonal salad. Both were so flavorful, filling and entirely unique. If you're a salad eater, I'd highly recommend either one of these. The carnivore in our group ordered the Italian beef with French fries.

One of the staff behind the bar came and took our order. I stuck with water and we ordered chicken wings to share, I also got the Cucumber Tomato Salad for my meal, it sounded so fresh! Chicken wings came out fairly quick; delivered by the host who seated us. They were really good. The skin was crisp and the buffalo sauce a good flavor. We both enjoyed them. They came with a Green Goddess dressing, I am not a fan of that dressing, but the wings were good on their own. My salad came out and it was as refreshing as it sounded! It was the half salad, and it was a generous portion. Cornichon, Oven-Roasted Tomato, Crispy Shallot, Chopped Egg, and Dill Buttermilk dressing. It was perfectly dressed, and great proportions on the ingredients. My daughter ordered the Patty Melt advertised on Union Loafers bread and that clinched it for her. She indicated it was very good. The food was delivered by someone other than our server. After our food was delivered no one came back to check on us and we waited quite a while before we could get someone's attention to bring boxes and our check. While we were waiting the employees were setting up for dinner service, adding mini aperitif style glasses and then a couple came in for an early dinner and their server was so awesome, he came over and chatted with them offering samples of some kind of alcohol, he was so friendly! If we had been a little later and had him for a server, it would have changed our whole experience! We both commented that on our way out after we had eventually got settled up
