    a group of men sitting at a bar

    If I could give this zero stars I would. Absolutely the worst bar I have ever been to. The bartender (who I heard is the owner) was very clearly drunk when we arrived, and continued to take shots throughout the night. Four of our drinks had flies in them, and the bartender/owner offered to filter out the flies from the drinks. No thanks!!

    Have a drink!

    I love Margie's Crossroads & watch music there a lot. FYI - DO NOT click on the web site link yelp provides. It goes to a porn site!!!

    Crossroads is a local mainstay & Margie the owner is a doll & in the years I have patronized the bar I have NEVER seen her drunk.

Really good flavor from the andouille sausage and peppers. I ordered Aunt Hattie's crawfish etouffee which was full of crawfish, celery and bell peppers. I really like the spices too. My boyfriend ordered the catfish platter. It was a large portion of fish and tasty except the batter was fried too hard. Our entrees also were served with the small cornbread muffins too. Our server Lauren was very responsive and checked on us several times. Restaurant was not crowded and we were seated immediately upon entering the bar area. Atmosphere is lower lighting and lots of Cajun decorations and some from St. Louis too. Bathrooms are individual stalls decorated with Cajun and Mardi Gras items. They are having a band play tonight on the patio so we didn't sit there and avoided the $12 cover.

Located right off the express way, close to the stadium and Soulard. The menu is vast and the options all look amazing and delicious. The ambiance is honkie tonkie, rustic without western wear. Lots of music memorabilia. Inside dimly lit but outside is a vibe. I shall return. The service was what it was. Nothing missing, nothing broken

Not a ton of seating and it gets kinda crowded depending on the night. There is a dance floor and their events are a great time. Very open minded, positive atmosphere.

    All are welcome! After finishing dinner with some friends, one suggested we come to the Crack Fox…read moreas it was their 15-year anniversary. We arrived a little after 11 and found a space in the back parking lot. The lot is convenient as it's pretty well-lit and is diagonal from the CF. We entered through the back where the deck is and walked right in. Upon first glance, you'll notice the hanging lights above the entrance and then after a few feet, the bar is immediately to the right. The tables are all along the left side as to make a walkway for the bar (super convenient). Due it being their anniversary, it was a bit crowded but not too bad where you couldn't get a drink or walk through. My usual go-to is a flavored vodka (three olives grape) and sprite. While they had a plethora of spirits, sadly this wasn't one of them. They had other flavored vodkas but I opted to get a simple Cosmo while my friend got a makers and coke. The Cosmo was just what I needed and might I add, well made!After we got our drinks, we did a quick walk through of the other side called The Oddities (coming soon), as well as the upstairs that overlooks the entire place. The stairs are steep, so it would behoove you to hold on to the railing. While I love trying new places, I was a bit apprehensive because I thought I'd stick out like a sore thumb. Turns out, everyone was friendly, the drinks are great, and the music wasn't bad! They had different acts going on for this particular evening (I'm not sure if this is the norm), but I know my friend is a regular on Tuesday's for karaoke. I do intend to come back and try out some more drinks and food and check out the other place once it officially opens.

The staff... wow.. another story.. Outside bar had an AMAZING waitress, Jess, that truely made our nights and was so awesome and fun. Jess deserves a raise and if you go to Venice cafe avoid literally any bar tender except for Jess. The old lady bar tender on inside bar took two extra dollars from me (I guess thinking I wasn't gonna tip? ) despite me leaving three on the bar and me pointing it out to her. Then a very very large brown haired curly bearded man completely ignored me at the bar, at like 4pm it was me standing directly in front of the bar by myself while he had co convos and gave bar backs shots. I couldn't have made this up.. I couldn't think of anything to even say to address that wasnt not kind or out of pocket so I left. It was an unreal experience and from what I've heard about management just from patrons there they wouldn't care anyway, it was alienating and gross behavior. Venice cafe had a good reputation and it was on my list forever, but I've already shared with more of my groups that we can go somewhere else and be treated much better. I'd second guess this option unless Jess is working outside in the bar.

It feels creative, fun, and unlike anywhere else. They had live music while we were there, which made the whole experience even better. One thing to note: it's cash only, so make sure you come prepared. This is the kind of place you go for the vibe, the music, and a good time -- not just the food. Highly recommend if you're looking for something unique and memorable in St. Louis.

    Review: Jan 2026 The experience was everything I expected…read moreand more! I went to Alicia Keys Broadway Play "Hell's Kitchen." She is my childhood/ adulthood favorite. Of course the event was on one of the coldest night we experience this past Winter in STL. For fashion, I decided to ditch my bulky coat in the truck and take the lighter instead. Fortunately, I arrived early and was able to find street parking close by and didn't have to endure the bitter cold too long Design: The architectural designs are breathe taken! It's something about "antique designs that I am always fascinated with. Food: My friend & I decided to have dinner at the restaurant next door (don't remember the name). I wanted to grab a drink at the Fox, however didn't want to miss out on any of the play standing in long lines. Service: Everyone hustled to get in after going through the metal detector or being scanned by security. There were staff members present to guide you to your seat. Overall Experience: I truly enjoyed myself. I definitely will be back!

Artwork and decor is stunning! This is where you'll find many of your concessions stands as well as merchandise. If you're on the orchestra level, head straight to the back. Otherwise, take the elevator or stairs to the balcony. The rows are set steep, so watch your footing! The Curtain Call restaurant is a nice place to grab a bite before or after. Concessions inside are a bit expensive, to be expected. Bathrooms are located on most levels.

    We visited Pop's for the first time for a Road to Pointfest concert…read more We were able to buy tickets online ahead of time, although the fees for 2 tickets were about the same amount as a 3rd ticket (I guess that's the way that works these days). I was able to add the tickets to my Apple wallet. When we arrived there was lots of free parking in the lot out front. They opened the doors exactly when they said they would on the event. It took some time to make it inside. They ID absolutely EVERYONE so don't forget your ID. Security check involved walking through a metal detector, a purse check and then getting patted down. Men are not allowed to bring in bags. After that they checked tickets. Inside was a typical dive concert venue with two sides and elevated stages. We had hard seltzers to drink. There was a variety of flavors. I thought the drink prices were a bit high for a dive bar but much lower than prices if you bought a drink at a larger event space or professional sports game. They accepted credit cards. Smoking isn't allowed inside (yay!) but there is an enclosed smoking outdoor area. I would return here if there was a specific show that I wanted to see. You do have a good view of the stage and are able to interact with the performers and crowd.

After that, the bartender got hostile & assumed I was intoxicated and decided I needed to leave. I tried to calmly ask what rule I had broken and attempted to have a respectful conversation about the situation. He kept screaming "WALK" in my face like he wanted me to emotionally react or something. Deeply confused, I asked what did I do & was told "I run this place" instead of being given a clear explanation. I hope management encourages staff to communicate more professionally and clearly with customers in situations like this.
