Let me start by saying this: if a bar could take a Broadway bow, Curtain Call Lounge would get a…read morestanding ovation. I stopped in before a show at the Fabulous Fox and immediately felt like I had wandered into the glamorous after-party of opening night. The space is stunning -- gold arches, dramatic lighting, and just enough sparkle to make everyone feel like the main character for the evening. It's theatrical in the best possible way. Now let's talk about the food because yes... I fully committed to the menu. The lobster nachos arrived like they had their own spotlight. Rich, indulgent, and piled high enough that the table next to me started asking what we ordered. Definitely not subtle, but absolutely delicious. The Manchego and chorizo croquettes were crisp little bites of perfection -- salty, savory, and the kind of thing that mysteriously disappears from the plate while you're mid-conversation. We also ordered The Tuxedo flatbread with truffle and parmesan which smelled incredible the moment it hit the table. Light, flavorful, and just fancy enough to feel like you're treating yourself before the curtain rises. And the Wagyu sliders? Juicy, messy, and worth every napkin. The bacon jam alone deserves its own Yelp page. But the real star here is the champagne and cocktail program. This place understands that a night at the theater deserves bubbles. The drinks are festive, beautifully presented, and perfectly matched to the whole "opening night energy" vibe of the room. Service was fast, friendly, and clearly tuned to theater timing -- they know people are heading to a show and they keep things moving without making you feel rushed. Overall, Curtain Call Lounge is exactly what a pre-theater spot should be: fun, a little glamorous, a little indulgent, and full of great energy. If you're going to the Fox, do yourself a favor and arrive early. Grab a drink, order a few plates, soak in the atmosphere, and start the evening like you're already part of the show. Because honestly... by the time we left for the theater, the night already felt like a performance.

Located in a building that was several different popular lounges in its hay day, the owners did a great job with the rehab. Can't speak on the food, while it looked good coming out of the kitchen, I didn't try it on this visit. I did hear lots of feedback from others that since the spot is new, the kitchen is a bit slow, so be patient. Cocktail, I tried an Espresso Martini with Reposado Tequila. Arrival after 9p, it was served in a plastic cup. Well... ok, no problem. It was well made and balanced on the ingredients. Band, The Remedy, playing from 8p to 10p. A great time for a Friday kick-off to the weekend!

The staff were incredibly welcoming, which for me is always the biggest indicator of whether I'll enjoy a place. I arrived during their daily Happy Hour (4-6 PM) and ordered the crab dip with homemade crackers, while my friend tried one of their cocktails. Everything tasted delicious, and the staff remained very attentive throughout our visit. I was also impressed by the cleanliness and the interior design. I noticed a beautiful mural on the wall and later learned it is a portrait of one of the owner's mothers, how sweet is that? If you're thinking about stopping by this new downtown spot, don't hesitate! My only feedback is that the entrance can be a little difficult to find as the signage wasn't very visible to me, but that's it. Highly recommend!

They were just opening up for the evening and it took a few minutes to get served, but everyone was super friendly and I was impressed by the design/vibe inside. I ordered the strawberry rhubarb pie mixed drink which came with a little side of dessert. I loved the drink itself but the fruit in the dessert was definitely past its prime and I ended up eating around it. We also got the wash ave flatbread for the table. We all loved the crunch of the giardiniera on the flatbread and it was a great plate to split for the table. I do wish prices were included on the menus just for visibility. Would definitely stop in again to try another drink from the menu!

SERVICE Listen, I don't drink hahaha so ignore me from here…read moreor keep reading. Met up with relatives (they drink) and felt fine. They clearly enjoyed their drinks and I went for a bottled water. Server was professional, place was clean, 30+ crowd, karaoke when desired, and there's food to order. It's an old spot (the building and neighborhood), but nothing to turn your nose up towards. It's a local bar, be cool. FOOD/DRINK Even though I don't drink, I'm really here to share how dope my fish sandwich was. Dude. Those were some good sandwiches and I'm not the only one who mentioned it. Shoutout to the chef on the grill handling it. Seasoned well, fresh grease, and the added pickles give it a citrus push. Listen, I don't even drink, but I'd return for the fish!

A wonderful evening can be left with bad feelings if you have a surly, rude wait staff, and Karyn was all that. We arrived early, ordered all at one time with no special requests. And we tipped as if everything was fine. But she never asked if we needed anything else, she slammed the food down and tossed the tip tray. Questions were answered as if we were wasting her time. I don't expect her to smile and act like we are friends (although tips increase that way), but she could be civil. I know it isn't an easy place to navigate for staff, but we were nice customers, and come often. I will worry next time that she will be my waitress.

Review: March 11th, 2026…read more I was on a mission to find a music event to attend to ON the NIGHT of my birthday which was March 11th. I came across Blue Strawberry during my search and decided to book. I didn't care if I would have to attend solo being that it was midweek and I didn't confirm with my friends. The Venue: I had a hard time locating the building, especially since it was night and I've never been there. Parking is on the street. I parked a block or two away and walked. Once I found the building, I tried to open the door, well it didn't open. That's when I realized that it was closed. I was like, I know they didn't lock the door after the event started. I then saw a buzzer so I decided to press it, hoping that it wouldn't interrupt, but alert the staff...After a minute or so, I noticed a paper sign stating to "use other door"...but which? The door adjacent it was for another business. I then locate the correct one around the side. Wallah! Once inside: the hostess checked me in. Her tablet decided to lock and she had to ask an older guy for the password (seem as though he might have been the owner or manager, he didn't look very pleasant nor welcoming). Anyways on to my seat to enjoy the show which already had started. The venue is very small, with low lighting in the audience and lighting focused on the proformers. Black tablets with seatings for two or four were throughout with one table for larger group. I suppose they can rearrange to accommodate.I was offered to sit anywhere as this event was very low turned out. The Attendees: The event attendees were mostly LGBTQIA folks, maybe due to the area or maybe the entertainer followers, either way I didn't care. I was out for a good time & I love, love regardless. Requirements: Venue has a minimum of $15 spending per person. I noticed most attendees opted for a drink. The larger party ordered food. I decided to skip on the food. I had the St Louis Swing to sip on. It was perfect. Larger than I expected! Overall: Great for small intimate events, especially locals or non "mainstream." Great views regarless of seating, and inexpensive! Honestly, I am not sure If I'll visit again although I enjoyed the event, nothing really stood out about the place or it's hospitality.
