Multiple registers open so wait was minimal, but our cashier Ashley couldn't be bothered to act like she cares to be there. All frowns and barely a word let alone a "thank you" - everyone has an off day, but then maybe a less customer facing job might be better for her.

It was fun. Although I didn't taste many wines i was able to get good advice. The staff was awesome. The patiently help all that asked fir help. They could tell you about the different wines. One associated help me find some wine that wasn't even one of the wines they were showcasing. They had specials pricing on some wines. I believe i got a good value on my purchases. I left with 2 bottles of wine. Sea Fiore Maxx Strawberry and Grape and Casa Rossa Strawberry .

You can order online and pick up once you arrive - you also get chips and a drink of your choice. They also always seem really happy that you've ordered from them so that's nice. Will be back here again for sandwiches and more.

First off- they do lunch here from 11-2 most days and it is outstanding and fresh. Do yourself a…read morefavor and pop in for a sandwich! This place is amazing. So cool. And such great service!! They have experts on everything you could ever need - wine, cured meats, preserves, pasta, and more!!! They have everything. Like I walked in asking about Gjetost (a Norwegian cheese) and they had it. They also have an incredible cheese monger by the way who I didn't get his name but he was really kind and knowledgeable. Cute decor too, very kind of rustic and homey. Reminded me of my time in Italy. Oh and they make fresh bread!!!! I've been looking for a cute little market like this so I can shop local and this place is just fantastic. Had a pretty incredible turkey sandwich too - I added speck to mine! Sandwiches all come with chips + a soda too.

The vibe is everything: dark, intimate, and just the perfect setting to kick back and enjoy amazing food and great company. I had the shrimp linguine and scallops, and both were absolutely phenomenal. This place is so #StLouisPescatarianApproved Don't get me started on the sticky toffee dessert! Wow! Shoutout to John, Mason, and Malik for being so fantastic--they made the whole experience even better. I can't wait to come back and dive into more of their menu (and maybe their wine list, too).

After making a reservation, I heard on social media that this place may be closing soon, but there…read morewas no indication of that on the restaurant's website or in-house. We arrived right on time for our reservation, stood for quite a few minutes in a half-empty house before being seated, then waited a very long time between visits from our apparently over-stretched waitstaff. The first cocktail I chose wasn't available; nor was the first entree. I settled on the "red wine flight", and it arrived in three glasses. The server recited their names, but I didn't catch them. Food was middle of the road. A smoked sirloin sandwich was tasty, though rather well-done. And the order of "salmon cakes", which the menu says is made of "smoked salmon, roast corn, tomato, cucumber, creme fraiche, and capers" was in fact just one cake (not cakes!), smaller than a hockey puck (about 1/2" thick max) and seemed to be made of canned fish, not the bright orange of smoked salmon. It was accompanied by five thin slices of cucumber and three or four halved grape tomatoes. No corn, no capers. It was so boring, and an overpriced disappointment at $23. If this Bridge is actually closing and focusing on the event space, they've gone out with a whimper. And if they're actually continuing service, I hope they get the food a little closer to the menu descriptions. Our drinks and water glasses were empty for long stretches. Our server was very pleasant and polite, but must've had way too much to do.

Being an avid sounders fan and being an enemy territory I was a little nervous, but they were super nice and very friendly. I had a flight of beer and I had a couple samples of other things and buying a $40 T-shirt. That was my only grip was the price of the T-shirt was too expensive. But the service was above and beyond what I expected, and I was very highly happy that I went. I ended up even calling them back later to let them know that St. Louis won, and to congratulate them, which I thought was pretty funny.5 stars all day long!

Their sour was super interesting and funky and I'm still thinking about it. They also have sparking water they brew with their hops which is super yummy! Not only was the staff chill (including the co-owner who was calling bingo!) but the other patrons were super nice too. All around good vibes and good beer at 2nd Shift. Plus it's family owned!

This location feels a little hidden, but it's there if you're searing for it! There's a big parking lot with lots of space. I walked in and saw lots of specials on bottles and picked up a bottle of Pinot Grigio for myself ($4.99) and explored the rest of the store. It's super well organized and labeled to find what you're looking for. Whatever you need, I would assume they have it. I don't typically purchase mini bottles of champs or Prosecco because they can be pretty pricy, but I found 4 mini bottles for $8.99 which in my opinion is a steal. Staff was friendly and helpful, and I definitely plan on returning to do some wine exploring :)

Aaron might even be an upgrade if that's possible, a certified sommelier and former liquor distributor, he's also a professional musician. I guess that last thing doesn't affect selling wine, but I mean to say he never misses a beat. Although they have some very unusual expensive whisky and wine not easily found elsewhere, they also have a healthy selection of affordable wine, do NOT be hesitant to start with your budget and allow for recommendations. The building itself is interesting, and wide open space inside. Easy parking.

I was looking for something specific; couldn't find it so went to the register to ask for help. One of the staff was ringing someone up and the other four looked like they were trying to find something on the register or a computer and didn't even look up. Finally, one of them did and when I asked he showed me the location of the item I was looking for. I like to wander around and look, so I did that. People coming and going, steadily busy. When I was ready to check out, I was asked if I was a rewards member, I said no. No follow up, no asking if I wanted to join, nothing. There was also a sign next to the register for a drawing that was to occur that night, the qualifier was a purchase amount which I exceeded. Just like the rewards, I was given no information, not offered an entry, again nothing. Also, no smile, no friendliness, nothing. I won't waste my time coming here again. Other places I go are way too friendly and helpful and seem to care that I am a customer. I didn't get that here at all. I was in the area, and they were listed as having the item I was looking for, next time I will go out of my way to go somewhere else.

They have a small bar area where they have eight beers on tap - some great local craft beer choices as well. You can have a pour of whiskey from the menu or purchase a bottle of wine and pay a $10 corking fee to drink it at the bar. If you are a whiskey drinker, you will be very happy with the selection of pours at the bar. They also have tiered whiskey flights!

The assortment of local and craft beers, wine and spirits offered is impressive along with a range of price levels. Come in and check out all that Barrel Blends has to offer.
