    We have been wanting to venture in for a long time. Finally got the chance to. We did a barrel and bottle tasting experience and it was awesome. Very neat experience. Staff is extremely kind and well versed. We tasted 22 barrels. Wheat, Rye, Barley and Bourbon barrels. We were able to take notes and decide what we wanted to create our own bottle. Really fun, learned a lot and this would be a great gift for the Whiskey lover! They have alternate drink choices for those who don't want to do the tastings and some small eats including pizza, charcuterie boards and Bavarian soft pretzels. They have live music multiple nights each month. It's a comfy, homey and masculine vibe. If you are looking for a unique experience this is a wonderful option.

    I just had to come back and write about Barrel House! My husband and I love this place! We frequent it often and always enjoy it. The drinks are really good. I don't like whiskey but they offer some drinks that are not "whiskey forward "and they're very tasty. My husband almost always has their barrel aged Manhattan. It feels like you're welcomed into someone's home. The owners, Denise and Stephen, are warm and inviting. The couches and chairs are comfy. It's like being in a living room. There's often live music on the weekends. We've met some fun people while hanging out there. It's truly a great place to spend some time!

    Such a unique find thanks to Yelp! Had the chance to chat with the owner Steve about the story (and he used to be a haberdasher too!). Service was excellent, the selection of brown spirits was unique and tasty and the ambiance was friendly and relaxed. Whether you're just having a cocktail with a friend or doing one of their special tastings or bottles I highly recommend.

    We stopped in to check out this new business about a year ago and we were instantly, and warmly, welcomed by the proprietors Denise and Stephen. We have since spent many wonderful hours listening to music as we enjoyed our delicious bevs. We made our special "blend" bottle last fall as we celebrated our anniversary and will do it again, soon! What a great opportunity to create something uniquely our own! If you haven't already been to The Barrel House StL, you need to get there. Have fun!!

    Barrels of whiskeys to taste!

    In a strip center but don't let it fool you. Amazing selection of whiskeys. Owners are very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks were well made and delicious. Limited menu but the pretzel was large and good.

    Blend flight, live music, cool people. What more could you ask for?

    Such a cool place! I got the blend flight and it was a really cool experience! Got to chill in vibey environment, sip some whiskey, and listen to some good live music. If that's also your kinda thing, this is the place for you.

    From start to finish, for flights, cocktails, or the bottle experience, if you love whiskey this is the place for you. I've described it before as a speakeasy but brighter and with windows. Live music on most Fridays and Saturdays can be fun, or just have a quiet sit and sip on a Wed, Thur, or Sun. There are a bunch of special events, too. This has become my home away from home mostly because Stephen, Denise, and the rest of the staff are so welcoming and helpful.

    Was visiting St. Louis and went here with friends. Enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. Food and drinks were delicious and beautifully presented. Hosts Steve and Denise were friendly and knowledgeable. Am looking forward to going back the next time I'm in town.

    What a unique place I just stumbled upon! A super relaxed atmosphere, where all things whiskey and bourbon are truly celebrated. Family owned and locally sourced. There is nothing not like about the wonderful people that own this place and what they are starting here! I am so excited to have something like this not only in STL, but also out in the county!

    We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at The Barrel House STL, and it exceeded all expectations. Stephen, the owner, was great to us and made sure we had everything we needed while we were there! Opting for the Barrel Experience, my boyfriend curated his own bourbon blend from an impressive selection of rye, wheat, barley, and bourbon barrels. Stephen guided us through every step, from choosing a bottle shape to crafting a custom label and naming the bourbon. While my boyfriend sampled the barrels, I enjoyed their creative bourbon cocktails - delicious! The atmosphere was inviting, perfect for a special celebration. Stephen's hospitality made the experience even more memorable. Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast or looking for a unique outing, The Barrel House STL offers an exceptional experience that I highly recommend.

    Whiskey Experience

    You want to check this place out for sure! My husband loves bourbon. I took him here for the Whiskey Experience and it did not disappoint! Denise and Stephen were very responsive to all my questions sent by email in prep for our visit and were very welcoming when we arrived. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. We were not rushed. They were very helpful and vey knowledgeable as well. As Stephen to tell you his story behind opening the establishment. They have some great bourbon cocktails also which are a bit easier on the pallet for those (like me) who aren't into sipping or tasting whiskey. You won't be disappointed!!! 110

    The barrel tasting

    My husband has recently gotten very into bourbon so we went to the "Barrel Experience" for his birthday. We were greeted by both owners upon entry. They were both so pleasant and you can tell they are very passionate about their establishment. Stephen explained all the barrels that were available for tasting and gave us a score card. Once my husband had picked his favorites of the wheats, barleys, bourbons, and ryes, the owner explained how to combine them in a mixture that would be delicious. He was so knowledgeable about the specific combinations and gave us suggestions on which one to take out. We were able to try 3 different combinations before we found THE ONE! Then they made my husband's personalized bottle, labeled it, and the package even comes with a whiskey glass. The ambiance is so classy with all leather couches! We can't wait to tell our friends and family about Barrel House!

    One of the best experiences I've had at any place ever. Atmosphere was perfect. Decided to do the create your own blend experience and tasted through 23 barrels consisting of Wheated, Bourbon, Rye and Barely until we were able to create the ideal blend. The owners Steve and Denise were amazing and provided and unforgettable experience. And of course the cocktails are top notch!

    Half bottle shop and half beer bar, Brother's is the bizness. I spent a pleasant evening here…read moresipping at two local beers and having a great time. With two dozen beers on tap (and a selection of bourbons and whiskeys), no worries that you won't find something you'll like. This was pretty awesome as I was actually spoiled for choice. I think the only thing that would have made it perfect was to run power to the table where I was sitting with my laptop. But this is a beer place and not a coffee shop. Friendly bartender and it was awesome. [Review 609 of 2024 - 306 in Missouri - 21640 overall]

I'll admit to having driven past Brother's many times, and I now known that we should have pulled in and gone inside sooner. Brother's is part store part restaurant / bar... with an impressing selection of beer and bourbon... and also offering vodka-infused whipped cream... and many spices and sauces to enjoy on the food you eat there, or at home. Three of us enjoyed our beer flights - four glasses apiece; my wonderful wife enjoyed a gin and tonic that is made from the bee pea, so it turns a light purple color when mixed with the tonic - nice! We also enjoyed the incredibly good nachos, Midwest nachos, which were excellent...the chips, meat, sauces all paired so expertly by Steve, the owner... we enjoyed two plates, one with brisket and one with chicken on top. These are possibly the best nachos we've had... much meat and beans and sauce and more on top; solid chips... superb!! Sauce-wise, we enjoyed a Carolina BBQ and a pineapple chipotle sauce... Carolina was quite good; pineapple chipotle was amazing! There were many patrons here tonight, and Steve still made time to welcome and serve us, and to help recommend some beers for me to try - most appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again, soon, Steve!

    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.

Kelly was our server at the bar. I started with a Moscato then a French 75 followed by an old-fashioned or should I say new fashion made with tequila!

I really enjoyed myself The steak literally melted it tasted like butter. I get my steak medium rare, the chipotle sweet potatoes were definitely more on the spicy side I love spicy food tho so needless to say I loved them.
