Terrible service it says they do delivery and when I called I asked if they do delivery and she said no then I still wanted to see if I could order for pickup and she just hung up on me. read more

We have been to Dukes for drinks but never for dinner. We have heard good things about the food so decided to try it last night. I got the steak kabobs that looked amazing on the menu and were supposed to have garlic butter on them. They were terrible. No seasoning or flavor at all and very tough to chew. There were 4 pieces of veggies total for 2 kabobs and they were very small pieces of vegetables.The dirty rice that came with it was a tiny tiny portion and the rice and ingredients in it were crunchy hard and all dried out. My husband got the meatloaf plate. He said it was just ok but it too was a tiny tiny portion when we saw multiple other meatloaf plates come out with much bigger portions on the plates. read more

Man am I glad this bar exists now! It is exactly what Soulard needed and having lived there for 4 year prior to moving to south city, I can say this from experience. -Great vibes! It has an awesome juke box and atmosphere. -The bartenders are AWESOME! Julie has been my girl since my Molly's days which were longer ago than I like to admit. They are FAST and super sweet and personable. -They have a tented off outside area where you can smoke if you like that. It's a little too much if many people are smoking but not terrible because there is good ventilation. -They have an upstairs that is almost like a make shift night club. There is a floor for dancing, a bar, and bathrooms. It's never super crowded on the dance floor but I don't think many people come to Duke's to dance. Unless it's happening after I leave. -It has a LOT OF GUYS that go there, definitely more men than women. Overall, Duke's is an amazing bar! I love coming here, it is one of my top places to go in St. Louis! read more

The only problem was the kitchen was slow at getting the food out we went during a cardinals game it included a free schuttle

Basic Soulard sports bar with an outdoor patio and a ton of TV's. Inside they have a square bar that is kind of cool. I did not get a chance to try the food when I went, but it looked like very basic American food. read more

Cool place to watch a game. It has multiple levels. Good prices. The bartenders did a great job. There were some hot chicks here too. :)

If you're a lonely, middle aged man looking for some sort of validation from the bartender, this is the place for you! RBF blonde bartender could only be bothered to serve her admiring masses and could have cared less about the service to other women in the bar. It was not busy and yet I had to wait a ridiculous amount of time to get another beer and a shot, nothing complicated. No friendly greeting or polite goodbye either. There are definitely better bars in Soulard. read more

Went in for early dinner. Caught the guitar guy playing up front. He was entertaining. Good crowd. Cold beer and an attentive wait staff. Food was OK. Burgers and chicken sandwiches. It's a Soulard bar with food. Will be back because this is what makes Soulard. read more

When in Soulard.... Yes there are dozens upon dozens of great places to get a drink or a bite in Soulard. It seems like the two go-to spots are Molly's or Dukes. Both are great and being a stone's throw from one another you will probably do both. It seems to be a common thing. read more

Stayed near this place, and was told by several people to check it out. Went in on a Saturday night for dinner, which was a huge mistake. If you are young, don't have great taste in music, and just want to drink (by the way, there is nothing else to do in St Louis), this place is for you. But I highly suggest not coming here to eat. This is where it gets fun! I ordered, in a refined scream, the Chicken lasagna with a side salad with ranch. I tried to order it with dressing on the side, but she could not hear me. First, here comes the salad. A white mound of unidentifiable mass arrived on a white plate. It was a large pond of ranch dressing without a hint of the color green. I attempted to undress a piece of the salad to find some greenery, but the ranch soup was to think. Needless to say, I did not eat it, nor did they care that I refused to consume it. At this point I'm really hungry, and time for some Midwest lasagna! It too arrived in a slightly larger, deeper pond of white sauce. In the overwhelming sauce, I took inventory of the ingredients: -3 limp lasagna noodles -A spattering of cubed chicken, most likely canned -3 limp spinach leaves. That was it. A bland, unflavored dish of white sauce layered with nothingness. I told my dinner companion that it reminded me of meals I saw prepared on my favorite show, Lock Up. (It did come with a piece of white toast that I inhaled.) She ordered the fried ravioli, which were perfectly fried squares that appeared to be right out of the box. My suggestion is that if you must go to Duke's, which is a good possibility if you are in St Louis because there is not much to do here, stick to ordering what the locals have been trained to do their entire lives: Choice #1: Bud Choice #2: Bud Light Good luck! read more

Great food for a sports bar with lots of tv's

Sitting for 15 minutes and no one has acknowledged or even acted like we are customers in need of service Waitresses was to busy drinking with friends. read more

So I usually love this place it's my go to but I came here on football Sunday to watch with my boyfriend and 3 friends we grabbed 4 bar seats and were there from 12 to about 2:30 watching the game. 4 of us were drinking and the one that wasn't was our designated driver he bought one beer and lunch the bartender told him he was costing him money and changed his football game from the one we were watching and preceded to treat him like crap. We left and will not be back because the treatment of the bartender was not acceptable. read more

I'm a frequent visitor and never had a complaint; in fact come here for trivia night pretty often. This is my first ever Yelp review. Went here for Cardinal's Opening Day to watch the game. Went to get a drink at the downstairs bar and where it wasn't very busy at all. At the bar, the bartender in the pink tank top was telling "jokes." One of which was: "What did the pedophile Jew say?" And "I would serve you faster if you weren't a Muslim." Which she followed-up with "I kid. I kid..." Aside from the blatant racism, she was so involved in her own stuff to notice anyone waiting at the bar. I was standing there for 10 minutes as she continued to hug her friends and take shots with them before finally turning to me and only said, "I'll be right with you honey." -_- Then she went back to serving her friends shots and catching up with them. FINALLY the bar-back noticed I had been there for a while as he was making rounds picking up glasses and asked if I needed anything. I ordered my two beers and he quickly poured them out for me. I tipped him cash for the beers and told him I appreciated him going out of the way for me. EXCELLENT SERVICE from him. I can put up with jerk bartenders if they serve well and I can put up with poor service if the staff is friendly, but if you're being a terrible person AND providing terrible service, I think a Yelp review is justified. read more

The place isn't that busy, but "Bub" the outside bartender is super crabby. I have no use for that! read more

Duke's - Bub - Sports Bars Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

NOT A SPORTS BAR. Great bar if you want to mingle and dance around though. Very unique space with multiple rooms but they don't play sound except for NFL and local sports. It's listed as a sports bar, it's not. Outside area is cool too! read more

Place is jumping on a Fri or Sat night (upstairs). Definitely a big crowd later in the evening so if you come too late you may not be able to get in upstairs. Patio is covered and beat, the first level is cool too. It's spacious. Bartenders are nice and helpful, pretty decent beer selection also. I live in the area so I'll be coming here more regularly than I have been. If you're looking for a fun atmosphere on a weekend, come here. It's a younger crowd upstairs for the most part. read more

Incredibly personable service, super quick, and never for a moment felt neglected! Great late night spot!

Food is good but service is trash. Bartenders are rude and cuss at customers. Management needs to figure it out and not let employees that have been there for awhile get away with whatever they want. It's a trashy look and makes the whole bar look worse than what it is. read more

I feel like the food here gets better every time I go. It's not just classic bar food, their salmon BLT is freaking amazing. It's a huge portion of salmon for a really reasonable price. Their wings and fries are also good. The downstairs is more of a cozy pub, they have a small patio, and the upstairs also has a bar that turns into more of a dance club at night. Good for food and good for Thursday or Friday night out! read more

Great place to watch the game. The food is excellent and well beyond typical bar food. Today we had the crab cakes and shrimp and crawfish poboy while watching the World Cup. read more

So I have never tried this cool bar in soulard named Duke's before but I had the best time of my life and it's all thanks to the best bartenders in Saint Louis-- Mason and Nikki. They served me a cocktail that filled my mouth with a flavor so beautiful and immersive I felt as if I were falling into a bed of roses hand crafted by Joseph Smith, the one true savior. I used to be Mormon but once I tasted this glorious cocktail I had to become a Jehovah's Witness as I had seen god and could no longer refute his existence. Also these cool guys in the corner kept taking their shirts off. It was really entertaining showed me all around the city but somehow we just ending up back at Dukes to drink some fine wine. You know what you did, dukes. read more

First day for brunch but you can't tell! Brunch was incredible! The new menu has some excellent new items. Italian sub is HUGE and delicious. Everything always exceptional! Current staff is on it! Wasn't bad before, just got better! read more

I was really hesitant that this place would be another Soulard "Bro" bar, but I was pleasantly surprised. Yes it is a sports bar, and there are TV's but its a beautiful space. The wood on the walls and trayed ceiling make me think it was once a cigar bar or something. The bar itself was a large square. I love that because you have a good view of the kitchen, and lots of good people watching. They have great beers (all good craft beers) on tap which was an awesome surprise. The food was DAMN good! We had the Spinach and Artichoke dip, Brisket Sammy, and the wings. That sweet chili soy is baller. I literally could not be much happier, the service was great too, and they were not slow by any means. We are planning our next visit already. Very happy this place is around and was able to surprise us on so many levels. Definitely a treasure! read more

I saw an ad for this place in a food magazine. There are five of us sitting in a corner booth. They are currently playing some county music but have be playing a nice mix of music. We ordered food. I had the pork chop. It was absolutely delicious. My daughter had a steak sandwich which she really enjoyed, my son-in-law and the po' boy that he really enjoyed. Everything was just fantastic. Service is great, the bartenders great, the drinks are really good and just an overall great experience. I highly recommend Dukes in Soulard. read more

Duke's - A view of the bar. - Sports Bars Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

See all

So we went to Dukes (me and my significant) and waited 8 minutes at the least for them to ask us if we needed anything, but before that, an employee of theirs walked over to me to ask why I was filming them.....my significant other begin to tell him to leave me alone and he continued. At this point we (me and my significant other) felt very unsure if we would even want to stay. Another employee walked over to apologize to us for his counter parts actions, but after that we we're also grilled by the bartender about me filming. When you go in any place nowadays your using Snapchat or Instagram to document the moment but because I was using my actual camera app, we were harassed and ended up leaving. They will never get a penny from me again. Zero stars. P.S. I had video of this but cannot upload it. read more

Our waitress Laura was the best part of this lunch adventure: Sorry to say this place is way to expensive. We both ordered the smashed cheese burger with chips, no they don't have fries REALLY. You would think a cheese burger would come with cheese BUT SURPRISE it cost you $1.00 for the cheese REALLY I thought it said CHEESE BURGER ... The chips are not home made in the restaurant they are made somewhere else and put in little bitty bags like you can buy at any store. ( Billy Goat Chips) yes they are good. Our CHEESE burger with bagged chips and a $3.00 glass of tea which is the most expensive tea we have come across, will cost you $14.13 plus tip. That is way to expensive for a CHEESE burger , chips and tea.. the burger is pretty good BUT why stop here when there are many other places a block away that is cheaper and much better CHEESE BURGERS that come with cheese for no extra hidden cost. Laura said they have been open under new management for about a year. Don't think they will be there very long charging what they charge. No we will not be going back , guess why ... you got it $3.00 tea and hidden charge for cheese on a cheese burger.. And like always you may like this place...it's just not for the THLG The only reason we rated it a 2 is because Laura works her butt off working all alone tending bar and waiting tables... Thanks Laura.... read more

Fun bar with great food too. The sliders and the kabobs are excellent! They also have a free shuttle to all the Cardinals home games. Very nice bar tenders as well! read more

I've been coming here since last football season. I always have a meal there but today I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with bacon. The chicken was dry and the bacon crumbled in my hand as I tried to pick up a slice. Can you say burnt..? read more

This place is amazing!! Service is wonderful and the tv situation is on point!! This is a must try when visiting St. Louis.

Do not get the burger offered for National Burger week! The two "smash patties" may have been 2oz each but came nowhere near to the edge of the bread. The "gooey cheese sandwiches " that served as the bun were actually two dried and burnt grilled chez sandwiches (I'm pretty sure they used a slice of processed American fake chez). But the tomatoe was nice and big and the lettuce was very crisp. So there's that. This was not a fluke. All three of our burgers were cooked and served that way. Oh! And the waiter was weird. He kept bowing. read more

This place has a great vibe but their Tv's don't work. the right booth TV was flickering in and out during the game broadcast which was livery disappointing. It really impacted our experience negatively. The service was ok, the music was great, food was average, but as a sports bar your one job is to be play sports, and they just don't do that well at this place. Especially in the fall during sunday night football. read more

Got grabbed by the neck by a drunk patron for no reason and had to go to the hospital!!!

We went for Sunday brunch. Pretty average Soulard bar brunch, was not disappointed by any means. They do have bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary's, so that's a plus! read more

I don't even want to give this hole one star. Not even worth it. When you ask a bartender for a water and get ignored....wow. appears they're into people only spending money and not giving a crap about the well being of other humans. Way to go dukes. Completely unprofessional. Fyi, your doormen are a joke and make fun of people with disabilities. You're disgusting. You may want to look into that. You disgust me. Joke of an establishment. read more

We have been going here for years to meet friends for drinks, but we just recently tried their food and were actually pleasantly surprised. They have a really good burger and the bacon wrapped jalapeno appetizer is perfect! We also got crab stuffed mushrooms that were delicious. read more

Ate here last weekend. I had the salmon. I was very pleased with it. The server (Jason?) was really friendly and attentive. We ordered some drinks which were nice and strong. Love the ambiance in here. Saw a few guys hitting on the bartender and she seemed nice! Lol. read more

Neil is inappropriate and rude. The way he speaks to people is disgusting. Don't think about moving chairs or barstools. Don't think about sitting at a table. Honestly, don't even think about going here. "Reserved" signs sit on patios tables for who knows what reason. They're not reserved for anyone. The bartender, Neil, decides if you can sit there or not. Again, for who knows what reason. Why not just make it easy and have a "Please wait to be seated" sign. I attempted to move a chair to sit. He yelled " no one move a fucking piece of furniture"..."ask me and I'll move it"..." I don't need you moving chairs, falling, and suing us". It was embarrassing as everyone was starring at me. Not sure if he finds it funny but there's a way to go about some situations. Needless to say, I took my service inside where the bartenders were nothing but attentive, communicable, and nice. If I could give this zero stars I would but that's not an option on here. Not sure why not read more

I love this place! Got introduced to this place a year ago and everytime I come into town or go to a blues game we go here. I love soulard and this is always a must go to bar. I love the different levels and dancing the night away! Always play great music and had an awesome DJ lastnight. I also loved how we could go downstairs and watch the Blues game if we wanted a break from music. Asked my bridesmaids to be in my wedding yesterday and we celebrated that night by going to Dukes! read more

The bar is decent just avoid the outside patio like the plague unless you want to be treated like dirt by the bartender NEIL. We were a group of 4 trying to order food and were told tables were reserved only to learn they weren't actually reserved for anyone in particular. We were told by an apparent regular patron that if we asked the bartender nicely he might let us sit there. He was rude to the point of being obnoxious. Too bad one rotten apple ruins the whole barrel. The security men and Megan did their best to make it right, however, I would strongly suggest the management look to replace that bartender with someone who knows how to treat paying customers. Worst bartender ever! read more
