I have not tried the food yet but just the drinks and vibe alone make this such a fun spot to visit. Depending on the night it can be booming with business or super chill. I love the indoor/outdoor options and the seating. The servers and bartenders are very nice and attentive as well. read more

My review focuses on the event aspect since that's my only experience so far, but I am sad to say that I wasn't super impressed by the food or drinks. The space itself is very chic and modern. Our event was on a patio on an extremely hot and humid day. While the idea of the glass ceilings is nice to let in the natural light, it unfortunately made me feel like I was roasting in a greenhouse with the sun coming in - the fans didnt do much for air movement and unfortunately there was just no breeze that day so the open balcony didnt help! I also found the chairs to be very uncomfortable. They are deep and may be comfortable for a tall man, but for a women of average height, you cant sit back in the chair without your legs sticking out straight like a child so you have to sit forward on the edge of the seat and try not to slump. I ordered the Forest Park Fizz which was just ok. The charcuterie board was suffering from being in the heat so I cant fault them for that, but the beef filled pastries and the risotto balls were both pretty lame. I would come back to try a different drink and something else from the menu but definitely not on a super hot & humid day! read more

I've been to High Bar somewhat recently during an event and was quite impressed that I wanted to come back so soon for a proper dinner. I made reservations, they require a credit card to make reservations so that if you cancel outside of the 24-hour time period or you do not show up, they can charge you up to $25 per person. Fair. I've seen this before in other restaurants. I made a 5:45 pm reservations as it was on a Saturday and I wanted to get there before it got too busy. We were seated on the lounge area. I asked the waitress if there was a way we could be seated at a normal table for dining. She then explained that people have eaten dinners on those tables before and that there's no open tables to move us to. Why, yes. I have also eaten off of a picnic blanket while at the park. I am well aware that people can eat off of different types of surfaces. Anyway, we made do though I was annoyed having to lean forward to take a bite out of my steak. The plate was too large to sit on my lap and I didn't want to eat off of my lap anyway. By the way, the proper table by us was empty the whole time from the time we got there, ordered appetizers, and our main entree, ate everything and sat around for 10 more minutes to finish our drinks. The food was excellent! We started with the crab dip which was true to its name. It had crab meat and topped with some crisp bread crumbs, no fillers. For places who try to pass off crab dips, they should take a page off of High Bar's recipe book. My husband had the chicken sandwich and I had the steak for my entree. As usual, I ordered mine medium rare which came properly prepared. I always get nervous when ordering steak at a non-steakhouse but I trusted my gut and they delivered. My husband really enjoyed his chicken sandwich. It had 2 fried chickens stacked atop one another. He took one off and took it home for later. We both had some cocktails. I love their spritz and the spritz options they have. Our waitress was okay. She wasn't overly friendly or attentive but she took our orders and kind of acknowledged our existence when she had to. The people delivering our food and drinks were nicer. We wanted to take our leftovers home and told our waitress this. She dropped off some containers and the check. We left shortly after. I was honestly hoping for a much better experience. At least the food was still really good! read more

They have the ABSOLUTE BEST messa platter. I've literally never had chicken thighs so juicy and tender in my life. It's filling and deeply flavorful. I go back just for that. read more

I checked out High Bar, the rooftop spot on top of the AC Hotel in downtown Clayton, and the views are very nice! You get city views from all over the place. The bar itself is super stylish, really well decorated, and has this chill vibe during the day. I had a couple of cocktails and also grabbed the Italian flatbread, which was perfect for a light bite. Definitely planning on going back. If you're looking for a spot with great views and a relaxed atmosphere, High Bar is a must-try. read more

High Bar Clayton , I finally made it. I made a reservation for a table of two through Open Table app. Arriving on location pretty confusing on parking and precise location of the bar. I think her name was See (our server) she was attentive and friendly. My friend and I sat on the outside patio and the view was pretty. We ordered truffle fries and a blue moon and Michelob Ultra. (Fyi) I picked this time , thinking it was happy hr. Apparently Fridays are not happy hour approved. Pretty pricey menu on bar bites and cocktails. Inside seating was spacious and plenty of seating. read more

Really enjoyed the vibes of High Bar. It was a bit different than I expected but it was still really good. Drinks were good and this food we got was delicious! Also shout out to our server who remade our food since it didn't match what we had ordered the first time around. Really appreciate that understanding and accommodation :) The ambiance is nice. I wish some of the seating was more comfortable for longer sitting. However, they have so many options so just find the spot that works best for you :) Rating a 4/5 cause I would go again but it didn't blow my mind. read more

This place was very cool, new to Clayton and did not disappoint. We ended up sitting on the small outside part because it was so busy. They served drinks and food outside which was convenient! The drinks were really good, we got an espresso martini and a spritz cocktail, both were amazing. As far as food we got the shrimp, but the broth and bread were the stars of the show in the dish. The inside was really cool too; I loved all the seating areas in side, regular tables, bar seats , comfy seating, etc. The prices aren't outrageous and the vibe is just right read more

I visited the High Bar in Claton for a professional networking event. It took me a bit to find it, but I am so glad I didn't give up. While the drinks were pricey--as drinks typically are at a hotel bar--they were also delicious. It was the space that made it so nice, though. We were outside in a place semi-protected from the elements; so even though it was hot at the time, the evening shade and the breeze made it quite lovely. There was a great variety of sitting and standing space, making it nice for moving from group to group and talking with new people. This would be a really nice place to come on a date, too. Nice job. read more

What a VIBE! I had been wanting to come here forever and finally came to celebrate my birthday. Word of the wise: make a Rez online! We got there and it was packed! I was so happy I had made a reservation weeks in advance. We had a table for 6 with 1 additional and they were accommodating by pulling up a chair (grateful for this). We started with a round of drinks, I went with a dirty vodka martini and it was very well made. For my meal I had the Italian flatbread. I loved the hot honey and cherry peppers on it. I would definitely order again. The views from High Bar are so awesome! We took some pictures on the patio; they have fire and cozy couches too! read more

We came to check this spot out looking for one of our favorite bartenders whom left one of our go-to spots to support her new endeavor. Of course she wasn't working that night but that didn't stop us from checking the place out an staying. The High Bar in Clayton, lives up to it's name. It's a chill, swanky bar situated in the heart of Clayton, a roof top bar with the views to match. The decor is upscale but laid back. You can dress up or dress down it doesn't matter. They have indoor and outdoor seating. No reservations needed. We walked in and sat at the bar with ease. The drinks are pricey which is to be expected but the food is more on the reasonable side. The Caesar salad was top notch and we added chicken for like $5 extra. We were so surprised at how elevated the salad was with the addition of the chicken. The downside was that the Caesar salad was lacking parmesan cheese, we had to ask for extra but the dressing was very good, not overly saturating the salad but also not lacking to make the salad dry. We also order a side of truffle fries which state truffle and parmesan snow, that was far from the case but the fries were hot-n-fresh and tasted delicious. The BF ordered the bar burger which he really enjoyed. The burger came with white cheddar, bacon, caramelized onion, house pickle and what they call fancy sauce and a side of fries. It was a solid burger for $19.00. What is lacking here is customer service to an extent. Some of the staff is gracious and friendly and some of the staff act like they only have one job and that's what they are going to do all night. If you bring out any type of food and a customer ask you for something, why isn't it your job to accommodate said request. If a customer ask for some napkins or a side of ranch, etc. If you brought out the food wouldn't you ask is everything ok, do you need anything and if the customer ask for something in addition that isn't out the way for you why would the customer have to ask someone else because you state you that isn't your job. What sense does that make. Does everyone NOT work together as a TEAM. Apparently TEAM is a foreign concept here. So if my server is the bartender and he's busy I have to wait while food gets cold because you do not want to walk back into the kitchen for some ranch, didn't you just bring my food out from said kitchen. Okkkkkk The drinks are literally OKayyyyyyy, for a bar of this caliber I expect perfection and I expect the bartender to be a mixologist. I would expect that you know your craft and can deliver. I also expect that you would know how to make a drink that's not on the menu. This place is great for out-of-towners who are staying in the hotel but for native St. Louisans they need to step their game up a notch. There are too many options in the STL for food and drinks. read more

High Bar in Clayton is a welcome addition to St. Louis' dining scene. We love the views and a menu that caters perfectly to pescatarians. #stlouispescatarianspproved The ambiance is modern and chic, snd the back lit bar is everything! The food here does not disappoint!

Stopped in because of all the hype on social media. It's definitely a neat atmosphere and I love the vibe of the place. A good spot for drinks with friends before a night out or maybe an evening happy hour. The food was good, the charred zucchini was different, and very interesting. Very yummy! The citrus shrimp were good. And of course, the truffle fries, can't really go wrong there. However, we were disappointed with the espresso martinis. They are advertised on the menu as having espresso in them along with Kahlúa... But I honestly feel like it was just Kahlúa. I'm a bit of an espresso martini snob... And I only want them if they are made with real espresso... And light on the cream or Baileys. These were very translucent and see-through, and they tasted just like pure Kahlúa. I was not impressed. Honestly they were gross. One of our group didn't even finish hers. I would not get them again. So I don't know if they were just made wrong or what... But I followed up with a traditional vodka martini, and that was perfectly fine. Also, the service was only so-so. Our server wasn't really around much and was kind of hard to find. And she would runoff before we could really ask any questions. Not very attentive. Parking is not the easiest. We were lucky to find a spot on the street at the meters outside of the hotel, but be prepared. It is Clayton after all. read more

Lovely place. Modern decor. Good customer service. Delicious food. Located on the 11th floor downtown Clayton. I deducted one star because we sat under a ceiling fan and asked several servers if they could turn it off or down. We watched each one ask the manager and she said no. We were literally the only table remaining in the room and spent a lot of money on food and drinks. Poor customer service on the manager's part. read more

Went here for happy hour work a friend and this place is lovely. Located on the 11th floor of the AC hotel, this place has an amazing view. Also there is a garage for easy parking. The inside has a wall of windows to look out at and there looks like there is a lovely outdoor area (it was too cold for that). The cocktail menu and cocktails are delicious and they had all the classic ones I love. I had an old fashioned and an espresso martini, my friend had the sazarac. Food was good as well. I had the Italian flatbread and truffle fries, my friend had the citrus shrimp and charred zucchini. The zucchini in particular was really good. Service was excellent. We were checked on multiple times throughout the evening. Wait staff was helpful and kind. I will definitely go here again! read more

We got the margarita flatbread which was crispy, filled with pesto and delicious. We also had the seared tuna stack and I wished the crispy rice that held the toppings was crispier but was otherwise very tasty. The favorite dish for everyone at the table was the baked ricotta which came with delicious fresh bread. It was so creamy and came with honey, fig and pistachios. We also had the brownie sundae for dessert which was of course good but nothing special. I did appreciate that it came with one scoop of each ice cream flavor including vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. The ambiance includes dim lights, semi-loud music and lots of modern wood accents. It was a great place for some late night drinks but a little loud to have full dinner conversations. I also didn't love the table we sat at because it was very wide across so it was even harder to hear people at the table. There are several other seating options available though. Lastly, the service including the front desk and our waitress were all super friendly and helpful. However, I accidentally clicked 11R on the elevator instead of 11 so it took me to the kitchen of the restaurant. I was very confused so I peaked my head in to say sorry and ask for help. The staff member seemed very annoyed and told me to press 11 so I pressed 11R again because I honestly didn't see 11 was an option and he yelled at me very aggressively "NO!PRESS 11!" He must have been having a rough night but I was honestly shocked and a little rattled the rest of the night as I kept seeing him around clearing plates. read more

Today is opening day and this is an awesome addition to the Clayton area. The design of the space feels warm but modern, very chic. The mixed types of seating gives it an elevated feel. The windows open and close to create the rooftop experience and there is still outdoor seating available with a firepit for the winter. Settling on a seat at the bar, I ordered a Woodford Old Fashioned for the win. It was well balanced and had the Woodford was definitely present! It's great for the after work wind-down. The music isn't too loud and is a good mix. Located on the 11th floor of the new AC Marriott hotel in Clayton, hotel guest will certainly enjoy the environment which contrast well to the lobby bar. read more

Food was ok, VERY expensive for that it was (114$ for two mediocre drinks, 1 entree and 2 apps), but for 114$ I'd expect my bartender to ask "How is your food" "Can I get you another drink" (only poured us the one and never checked on us again) My ribeye was overcooked and although I ate it, I probably would've sent it back had I ever seen my bartender to tell him "my foods overcooked" For the price and staying at the hotel I just expected a lot more read more

The biggest downside to coming here was that we didn't have a reservation. I tried to book a week in advance, but there were none available so we tried to do a walk-in. The host told us 45 minutes, but we ended up waiting closer to an hour and a half. I appreciate that they don't rush you off of your table, but I wish they had a better way of accommodating people on a waitlist. They're also isn't a lot of standing room or bar room so if you do have to wait around, there's not a lot of space for that. The drinks were great and they had some decent food options as well. Love a bar with a view! read more
