This was jot planned and we stopped in and wasn't disappointed! The band was amazing and the energy was epic!

Service was amazing.....food was awesome(nachos for the win!).....and the atmosphere was perfect. Manager visited the table and was extremely nice and professional. Would highly recommend! read more

Great Band and nice atmosphere. I was disappointed to learn that I couldn't get a real wine glass & was served my vino in a small plastic cup and all the drinks came in clear plastic cups. Kind of tacky in my opinion. I assume there is NO dress code as this guy on the dance floor had a work out style t-shirt completely open on the sides (appeared torn open) down to his waist. He definitely hasn't worked out in years & it was a bit unsightly to see him jump around on the dance floor. The waitress was pleasant and it was a small crowd. read more

What a fun music venue! Located in the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles it has great live music! I love to see TRIXIE Delight and they have a great dance floor to jam out on! The staff is wonderful at getting you drinks quickly. It's wonderful for large or small groups. read more

Bottleneck Blues Bar - Music Venues Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

This place is a great stop to make after getting your ass beat in roulette. Located inside the Ameristar Casino, it attracts quite a diverse crowd but also brings in more than decent musical acts, so you can always count on being entertained. Between the random casino-goers, the cougars in sparkly tops, and the underage rockers banking on their fake ID's, this place is a trip. I feel like it gets stereotyped a lot because of the location, but I always have a good time here. Get to Bottleneck at LEAST 45 minutes before a show starts and you can snag a seat and the bar and sip on cheap drinks while you watch the show on stage. Aesthetically, this place rocks if you pay attention. So many bright colors and lights, awesome (and huge) chandeliers, and a really big space. Get drunk and rock out to Dr. Shivegas... it feels SO wrong but you know you want to. After a few rum and diets with lime, it cannot be denied. Fun stop while gambling at Ameristar! Wink at the bouncer so you can skip the standard $5-10 cover. read more

The Bottleneck Blue's Bar is a great entertainment venue in the Ameristar Casino Resort complex. They have pretty good bands and entertainers that come in on a regular basis. They do not serve food, however you can get food to go at Ameristar's other restaurants and bring it in. That will allow you to get a good spot, rather than rushing through dinner and train to get it in line before the doors open. There is typically a cover charge to get in, and you can call ahead for reservations. The downside of reservations is your cover charge will be more expensive, however you are guaranteed a spot. Beverages are very reasonable and services good. read more

Bottleneck Blues Bar - a neon sign hanging from the ceiling - Music Venues Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

I had definitely underestimated this place. Who thinks a bar inside a casino is going to be FUN? There was a live band, and people everywhere, the space was bigger than I thought it would be and the server was pretty good at coming by every few minutes to check on us. The band was really great! I have no idea what their name was but I will definitely come hang out at Bottleneck again! read more

Great venue for music and dancing. Was expecting it it be bigger inside....but it is just the RIGHT size. No food is served, but you can bring it in! Another plus...it is non-smoking!! Fun evening rockin' to the classics of the 70s and 80s with Superjam! read more

We headed to Bottleneck to hear Dr. Zhivegas with friends. You do have to arrive early in order to get in. My only complaint about that is a large part of the bar was "reserved," and in the two+ hours we were there, those spots were never filled...so it was standing room only with a lot of empty seats. Apple martinis are excellent and not too badly priced. :) read more

Somehow the new Zhivegas & Bottleneck Blues bar is the perfect mix. Both are professionally created to entertain. The bar was overall well designed. The sound system was great. The 2 large screens on the side of the stage added to the show. The bartenders showed enough flair (spinning & tossing bottles) to add to the experience, but not too much to slow the pace. Personally, I skipped the trip, wait & flair at the bar after my first attempt & ordered from the waitress. Buckets of 5 beers are $17 so for a twenty you are covered with tip. The bad is the same as most places not designed by somebody that actually worked at a bar. The trash & liquir is constantly flowing through the bar because the back door & liquir storage is not close to the bar. The other weird thing is having workers cut across the stage so much. Zhivegas has changed with less people in the band & a new female singer plus more modern music. To keep the overall sound & show big- Zhivegas uses a Video DJ that plays prerecorded videos & music that they play & sing along with. Still takes talent & energy. Overall, I was impressed for the entertainment @ $5 cover charge. read more

This bar is connected to Ameristar Casino, so my initial assumption of what the place would be like wasn't great. But I had a really fun evening here. The bar is covered in oak and cool decor, and antique-style lighting fills the room. The bar is really large--but warning, this place is usually packed so you're going to have to push your way up there for a drink. The main attraction to this place is the live music. Generally, there is some type of band playing every evening. Mostly tribute and cover bands, but there are some original rock, country and blues acts that come in. The last time I was there, That 80's Band was playing. So much fun! They played all of the 80's hits that you want to hear, and the dance floor is big so there is plenty of space to dance away to Working for the Weekend and Material Girl. read more

I like the bar & the music but I was ripped off on my credit card. they charged me for my drinks after my friend paid for my drinks on his card. been trying to call tonigh to get it resolved & no answer. do not ever give the waitress your card to run a tab on. they will rip you off. read more

Advertised dueling pianos every Friday did not have and were very rude at the door about it

Bottleneck is one of the best music venues in the St. Louis area for sure and it's one of the best options for entertainment out here in Chuckville. Since I'm too damn old to go clubbin' anymore this is a place where I always feel comfortable and anyone fits in. There are usually groups celebrating birthdays, bachelorette parties, and even divorce parties. The music is normally an entertaining local cover band. ie. Dr. Z, Joe Dirt, That 80's Band, etc. Occasionally BBB brings in a washed up natioinal act but I prefer the local acts. The drinks are on the expensive side. ($4 beers, $6-$8 shots), and when there's a full house the place can get pretty cramped around the bar (what place doesn't?). Our server last night was Angie. She was extra-friendly and kept the drinks flowing at a fast and furious pace which definitely added to our experience. I recommend BBB to anyone who's looking for a place to listen to good music, dance, and drink in an atmosphere where you'll never feel out of place no matter who you are or how you're dressed. read more

I have to agree with Andrea here. I was not expecting much from this place the first time I came. It's inside Ameristar, so you immediately assume it's going to filled with the casino folks and have overpriced beers. That simply is not the case. I actually have had a really good time here every time I have come. The bar is pretty huge and it's not hard to find a seat provided you get there a little early. The line can get pretty long if there's a big headliner, too, but again, this is easily remedied by getting there a little early. I have seen fairly large local acts and unknown cover bands at this place, they seem to book all kinds of different bands. Some are good and some are bad, just like any music venue. Also, the bouncer isn't a jerk about checking your id and actually keeps the line moving pretty quickly. I always appreciate this. The beers and drinks are very fairly priced and run about the same as any other place in St. Louis/St. Charles. Also, if you get bored, you can always pop into the casino for added entertainment. I usually do. read more

This place is a blast. Great drinks and music. They have the staff come by constantly to grab up empty glasses and bring refills and take new orders. The decor is wild. Concrete type wall coverings that have plates, beads, chips, dominioes, and other strange items set into it. Even though it is crowded it is really easy to move around the bar because the way it is set up and the flow. Highly recommend this place. read more

Totally not what I expected! It's bigger inside than it appears and is a pretty cool venue for being in the Ameristar. We went to see "That 80's Band" whom put on a GREAT concert! The service is good and the waitress took pretty good care of us considering how busy it was. The dance floor is not huge but it works for the size of the venue. If you're not a dancer, there are plenty of good seats around the stage that you are able to still see the band perform on stage. read more

I contacted them to make a reservation for 10 people for a birthday party. Knowing a band was playing that night and expected to pay the cover charge up front which should have reserved our table it did not. I was told we would have to pay $15 per person. $7 of that goes towards cover so when I asked what the other $8 was for, the response was "To ensure you're guests have a table" i think it's absolutely ridiculous that they charge an additional fee for nothing. No place does that! Get a clue! read more

Very rude door man. Very insulting and humiliating experience! I had only 3 glasses of wine on my tab between 8 and 11:30 since I was driving home all the way to St. Louis City. Upon returning to the bar entrance from a trip to the ladies room, the door man stopped me and told me that I had too much to drink and it was time for me to leave. I tried to explain to him that I was walking akwardly due to my sciatic nerve pain and numb feet, however he refused to allow me the courtesy to explain. I sat quietly at a table with my husband the entire evening, and the chairs were very uncomfortable for my back, so I was ready to leave anyway, but I would have rather done so on my own terms, and certainly not by an embarrassing, humiliating act of a bullyish, rude and very inconsiderate staff member with very poor judgement. I have many friends who go to BBB, and will make sure I use the power of social media to share my experience. It literally added insult to injury. read more

Always seems to be great music, decently poured drinks and good wait staff service. Music was high quality. Diverse crowd. A good place to meet up and rock out. :) read more

The bar has no food at all okay was surprised by that but really surprised me is the way they Handled the matter of me and friend having a drink thrown in both our faces. I will never return to a place like that this places security is sub standard and not what it should be. The waitress was very apologetic but the management and security on duty that night need to be replaced pronto. And as many it was my first visit and last. read more
