I cavy believe it took me so long to try this place! I came for the Taylor swift pop up bar and I loved every second of it. I love how every thing is pink, disco, there's neon signs, and every detail is well thought out and gorgeous. Service was awesome and everyone was so friendly and nice. The drinks were a little pricey which i expected for speciality drinks for an event like this. I'd definitely come back for another event or just on a night out!

Have been twice on new years eve. Before the late night party. Went in for cocktails before having dinner elsewhere. Its a fun atmosphere with neon lights & streamers, fun decor. The cocktails are good. We ordered a rose & gin cocktail & an old fashioned. They have booths , tables, bar seating. The staff was friendly & helpful with recommending cocktails we might enjoy.

Pop up bar time!!!!! Street parking , limited. Walking in this building has two parts slab style building. Reservation was set for 6pm , so we browsed around the front room and it had sultry disco appeal. Plenty of seating and bar area well stocked. Great decor of pictures and quotes. Pop up bar thru doors is beautiful. Well lit, plenty of lighting, picturesque moments, music and plenty of seating. Second bar smaller. Tia was our server. Very friendly and attentive. Bar bites of food includes hot dog, chips, pretzels with cheese and cinnamon. Chicken nuggets, pizza rolls. FYI: if you're hungry I suggest eat before you come , if not do not look to get a full meal , food prices are reasonable. I ordered for drink gin gle bell drink and the red wine supernova. Both drinks were fruity and just enough liquor. Drink are pricey but the ambiance makes up for it.

My extended family and I are suckers for themed pop up bars. This is one I hadn't been to before, but my sister-in-law suggested it for a Christmas pop up. The bar is located just north of SLU in midtown. It is in an area that I think has been on the upswing the last couple of years. One of my favorite spots, The Fountain on Locust, is just up the street. When I first walked it I was a bit overwhelmed. The main bar's decor leans heavily into pink, disco balls, and neon signs. It screamed "girls night out" to me. There was a moderate sized crowd, but nothing overwhelming for being a Saturday night. Not shocking given the vibe, but most of the tables were cluster of women. It wasn't so skewed that I felt out of place, but there was definitely a slant. There is a decently sized main bar with chairs and then a smattering of booths and tables throughout the rest. At the back is a disco ball dominated dance area. The bartenders were attentive and the drink I got from the main bar was good and an average price for a bar in St. Louis. We didn't get any food, but there was a modest selection you could order. Several of the items were hot dogs which I was heavily tempted to get. Maybe next time. So on to the main attraction for why we ventured out on a cold November night. There is a back room at Hidden Gem that rotates into different themed bars. For Christmas it is plastered with presents, plastic Santas, and Christmas lights. It had a nice vibe. You had to book ahead of time, and the room was relatively full the entire time we were there. The only downside was that the themed drinks (it wouldn't be popup without themed drinks) weren't very good. Between the four of us there we ordered three different drinks. Two of us found our drinks to be nearly undrinkable. We both went back to the main bar to get a drink. So my recommendation would be to get a drink before you head into the back room, but otherwise it was a fun night.

Grabbed tickets for the haunted disco here...20/10. Decor was instagrammable, snacks were tasty. Drinks were thematic and delish. I've never been more flattered that Wednesday Addams was tending bar and got my costume (NosferHOTu). Misplaced my phone b/c see drinks above. Bartenders and patrons were both so helpful. I find that just the biggest green flag that people were kind and patient with my drunk ass.

Came in for a mocktail. Stayed for the vibe. We love hidden gem! Such a fun spot. Whether its a drag brunch. A pop up bar or just a drink or two. Its always a good time. Everyone is always welcoming and kind. Music is amazing. And let's not forget the photo booth!! I love the N/A options for those of us who sometimes decide not to drink.

Burlesque night!

I love Hidden Gem! The bar is such a great environment for all to visit. They constantly have fun and different events! I love following them on Instagram to keep up with their events from karaoke to burlesque nights to trivia. The service is great and the bartenders are pretty knowledgeable. Every-time I go I get the same drink with is banana inspired. Not everyone's favorite but I really enjoy it! I love that this business is women owned and supports other women in business regularly! I will keep supporting this business for as long as I'm in STL!

An evening at Hidden Gem is a crossover episode of Golden Girls and Cheers. Every experience has been divine and I've had more than 5. I came here for Taylor's birthday. I've been for 2 or 3 Yelp events. I've visited both the Pink Pony Club and Technicolor Dreams popups. I have yet to attend a drag brunch but it'll happen. My friend Miranda wants you all to bring back the Dump Him! I say it's good my friend is focusing on just one thing because it would be unbearable if she were in a Bi-Panic... Seriously, that drink is so very good: Malibu rum, strawberry simple syrup, peach juice, lime juice. Only room for growth is we need more snacks for vegetarians! I'll pay ballpark prices. Just feed me!

Such a fun bar! Truly this is a woman's dream bar haha. Full of fun decor, good music, dancing, Photo Booth, it's everything you could want and more haha. The drinks were good. They have some speciality but all full service bar so you can get whatever you want. There is street parking all up locust so on busier nights it may be harder to find a spot but I truly never had an issue!

Can't believe I haven't reviewed yet. I so enjoy the themed pop-ups they do every few months. Last night, I came for the Christmas one. My favorite decorations were the construction paper streamers. The decor is always always ott, in a fun way. Same for their drinks, which are also well mixed and strong. Lots of pink lighting.

The menu was not a big menu so I made due with what was offered, which was a hot dog and a bag of chips. The service was exceptionally good, we were greeted upon entry and was offered food and drink menus. We were were early for our pop up bar time slot but the bartender did allow us to look around, take pictures and order food and eats. Once we were able to go back into the pop up bar area the ambiance was very festive, I have to applaud the decorator. The Christmas themed drinks all looked amazing, the bar tender Tia came right over to take our orders and even took a selfie with our group. If your looking for a pop up bar for the Christmas season do not hesitate to give the Hidden Gem a try.

Cannot go wrong with the background and sparkles and disco vibes
Lesley P.

We came here on 11/7 for a friend's goodbye celebration. She could not have picked a better venue for the night. The pink colors and the sparkles and disco vibes make this place feel inviting to all no matter whether it's my first time or I am a regular guest. Appreciate the variety of both adult beverages and mocktails. Bartenders provided friendly yet efficient service. Looking forward to visiting this venue again when I am in the city.

This is a cool, trendy LGBTQ-friendly bar with a fun "pink pony club" type atmosphere. They have large pink booths lining the main bar, a "secret" back bar room with fun disco balls and cozy tables, and the upstairs has pink carpet booths with cocktail style tables. Drinks were fruity and sweet. It was really busy when we went so service was a little slow (for a Thursday) but definitely the place to get cute and go out with friends!

Moody lighting, cozy corners, and an effortlessly cool vibe make it the kind of spot where time slows down in the best way. We stopped in for their Sunday late night happy hour (8-11pm) and honestly? Elite move. The energy was relaxed but still buzzy, perfect for winding down the weekend without feeling like the night is over. The cocktails are art. Every drink feels intentional, balanced, and a little unexpected in the best way. You can tell the bartenders really know their craft. Whether you go classic or adventurous, you're in very good hands -- especially during happy hour when trying a couple different options feels very justified. What really seals the deal is the overall mood. It's date-night perfect, ideal for catching up with friends, or impressing out-of-towners who think they've "seen all of St. Louis." Service is warm without being overbearing, and the experience feels elevated without a hint of pretentiousness. Don't rush. Order another round. Let Sunday stretch a little longer.

I recommend placing a reservation online to ensure you can get in. Our group of 4 were seated quickly, and upon entering we could see that the place was filled. The waitress for us was incredible. She offered great recommendations and answered the question we had well, including getting to know our flavor preferences to make the best suggestion. The drinks are fantastic. All super classic but unique. My favorite was the espresso martini, which had a great slightly sweet tastes without the strong alcohol taste. I hope to be back for their happy hour sometime soon!

The staff was very friendly and helpful, suggesting some of their favorite items. I love the vibe of the restaurant. It's just very aesthetically pleasing and a cute space overall. I also appreciate their dedicated parking lot as sometimes parking in the Grove can be difficult to find, especially on busier days. I tried their mushroom fried rice and as someone who is not the biggest mushroom lover. I really enjoyed it! They have a great selection of cocktails, as well as some tasty apps before your meal. I look forward to coming back in the future!

I tried the Pretty in Pink cocktail, which was well-balanced and enjoyable, though the pour felt a bit light for a martini. Normally one martini gives me a slight buzz, but that wasn't the case here. We started with the onion rings as an appetizer. The portion size was generous, and they were tasty overall, though they had a tangy seasoning dusted on top that seemed a little odd at first. Surprisingly, it still worked. I ordered the Good Burger, and it was honestly one of the most flavorful smash burgers I've ever had. I was genuinely impressed. I got the sauce on the side since it also came with the onion rings, and unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of it -- it was a bit runny and lacked flavor. My friend ordered the vegan burger and absolutely loved it. The inside of the restaurant was cute and had a great atmosphere, though there was an unusual smell indoors, so I was very thankful we were able to grab one of the outdoor tables. Outdoor seating is pretty limited, though, so keep that in mind if you prefer sitting outside.

We ordered the NOR and Lillian's revenge cocktails, onion rings, mac & cheese, red snapper, pork tenderloin, and gooey butter cake. I love it when I get to experience flavors I've never had before and every dish gave me a revelation. The cocktails were perfectly balanced, the pork was cooked sous vide and so succulent, and the veggies were tender with drool-worthy flavor. Most of all, everything tasted so delicious and real. It was also not too expensive for this high quality of dining, delivered with warm, genuine service. Our dining experience was an incredible 10/10. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone and can't wait to return.

Reservations seem to be needed and we got ours with some time in advance. Our group started with a round of cocktails so many choices and ordered the cashews to snack on with them. Later or ordered the onion rings and red pepper walnut dip. Everything was delicious, only disappointment was the cashews didn't arrive until the other apps and by that time we had nearly finished our first drinks. Still all were quite delicious but surprisingly cashews may have been my favorite, they came with a very unique and delicious savory flavor. For the main dishes our groups shared the couscous salad, meatballs, short rib and flat iron steak. All dishes are for sharing and there wasn't a dud in the bunch, so delicious. To finish we got the pistachio gooey butter cake and the tahini brownier, while both were good the gooey butter cake was life changing, you have to save room for this!! For drinks I got the jungle bird and pistachio pepitas mai tai. Both well balanced, read not overly sweet and I enjoyed them but food was the highlight here.

The cocktail list is solid, and the beer selection is seriously impressive, packed with a great mix of local breweries and unique options.

One of the coolest touches is the large display of vinyl records, it adds a ton of character and gives the whole place a unique, almost nostalgic energy.
