    A great spot to stop in for a drink. Everyone is extremely nice and Troy is a great bartender. I'm not much of a shot taker and we wanted to celebrate so he made me a sweeter shot and I loved it! The inside is a sight to see for sure. You have to stop in here!

    As a relatively new Missourian, I've become quite fond of frequenting the local neighborhood dive bars. You really need to have realistic expectations when visiting any dive bar...Dive bars are hole-in-the-wall, unpretentious establishments where the floors are always sticky and the bathrooms' sanitation are questionable. They're generally filled with locals and regulars, but these individuals are more often than not friendly and open to meeting new people. I was at Bastille this previous Monday and was tended to immediately after settling down at the bar. I have no complaints about the two drinks I had here. The bartender was kind and informed us of the impending drag show that was planned for later that evening. The drag show was fun and an unexpected find for a Monday night in STL. I made conversation with people at the bar, who seemed receptive to a random stranger talking to them. I would come back if someone invited me, but for now, I must visit the other dive bars in town. 6/21/21: Stopped in again and the same bar staff was there. I believe they recognized me from my previous visit, which was a nice feeling (as if I'm slowly becoming a regular!) I paid for drinks this time and the tab was much more affordable then other local bars. Bastille is quickly becoming on of my top favorites for the drinks and kind staff.

    I recently won a $25 bar tab to Bastille. I had only been to this gay bar once before, so we decided to check it out again after a fun brunch. My biggest takeaway from my experience is that you just have to take Bastille for what it is... a neighborhood dive bar. The drinks are cheap and strong. The bartender was friendly to the "regulars" and tolerated our group being there. If you are looking for a night of craft cocktails and well curated music, Bastille is not for you. Now I will say, we went in just looking to have a fun time, and we did! The decor inside is so insane and gives you a ton to talk about with your friends. My personal favorite was the holographic photo of Cher that changed hair color depending on which way you were looking at it. The bar did feel dirty. I kept my mask on the majority of the time to protect myself. For the most part the patrons were not well socially distanced.

    This place was amazing!! Walked in and felt right at home! I highly recommend! Come when Troy is working. He is the bees knees!!!!

    The bartender was rude and told my friends to leave because he wasn't going to serve them.

Manchester Avenue seems to carry the energy, a long run of neon and murals and patios. I saw rainbow flags and dive bars and a few spots that seem just a little scruffy around the edges that keep the place from turning into a theme park version of itself. I have been here on foot and by car. By car, the parking was easy enough as long as you're aware of the hydrants and driveways so you don't block either. On food, the blocks are short and the sidewalks are wide enough that you never feel squeezed. The neighborhood feels expressive and welcoming, like it wants you to see the art, feel the music and take in the color. If I was ever looking to move back into a city, I'd be looking at places in this part of Saint Louis. [Review 370 of 2026 - 494 in Missouri - 25556 overall]

There's a lot of murals and artwork lining the streets. It's colorful and my kind of chaos. Some of my favorite bars are here like Platypus and Good Company. This community is great and if you get a chance to check it out, you definitely should.
