    The tour is fun if you ever get the time! Vodka is very smooth, by far one of my favorites!

    This place is underrated. Went in a bit underwhelmed but I learned so much from the tour guide and…read morebecame a lot more impressed by the end of it. They have a whole library of alcohol with all their different flavor testing and experiments and it's really run by a tight knit group. The alcohols I tried were punchy and unique, and the ambiance grew on me. Definitely going to go back and try out their cocktail Fridays!

    Gin is my favorite spirit, but before doing a tour with Still 630, I had never tried it neat. Now,…read morethanks to visiting this place, I only want to drink my gin straight up. And by the way, the gin they're making here is amazing. They have a few different gins, but my favorite was Volstead's Folly, which is juniper forward with a bit of pine. I love a good botanical gin, and this one was perfect. Another spirit that stood out that I tried was the Big Jake, which is a whiskey with natural coffee flavors in it. I had never tried anything like that before! I don't know if I could down a shot of it, but I could see this being a good addition to an espresso-flavored cocktail. Anyway, the tasting portion of the tour was my favorite, of course. We got to taste three different spirits of our choosing. But we also got to see the small distillery, and we were taken to the back where the barrels were. There's not a whole lot to see because Still 630 is a small operation. But the owner was friendly and funny, so he made the tour well worth the trip.

    If you go to Bluestem Distillery and do not have fun, something is wrong with you. The staff is…read moresuper friendly as is the other patrons. When you come, it is one big party. Everyone mingles and gets along. Bluestem is a vodka distillery in Meadowbrook, but everyone says it's in Bethalto. It's close enough, to count. The distillery is located in an industrial type building, but once you enter through their door it is as if you are Dorthy stepping out of your house in Munchkin land. The difference is like going from Black & White to Color. They've redecorated the inside with amazing lighting and big screen televisions. The bar has been expanded and resurfaced. They have a variety of signature cocktails, but I am a creature of habit. When I am at a vodka distillery, I have to enjoy a Martini. Stephanie the bartender, who is also one of the owners with her husband made me a fabulous one. She made it skate and served it with Bleu Cheese Stuffed Olives. It was so refreshing, I had to have two. In addition to the vodka, Bluestem also makes a gin and a coffee liqueur called, Early Warning. EW is made with Bluestem vodka and Old Judge coffee. Old Judge has been roasted in STL, since 1858. It truly is a local brand. Bluestem will be celebrating 10 years in April of this year. That will be one celebration, I do not want to miss. The distillery is dog friendly. So bring your well behaved four legged friend. When: February 14, 2026 Why: Valentine's Day - Celebrating with a friend.

The air conditioning was good, since it was in the upper 90s all weekend. My low rating is based on the following: nobody working the front desk. We would have liked to ask locals where to go. No hospitality there. Personally, I find this new trend for owners or hosts to not be present is rude and off-putting. The lack of human interactions is depressing and unwelcoming. (Fortunately for us, wherever we dined, the servers were happy to answer our questions.) The fruit bowl on the front desk counter seems like it sat out the entire weekend, with no refrigeration. The bar downstairs doesn't take cash. (I believe that will be against the law in 2028, according to an Illinois bill) No need for us to visit again.

We have always considered this a place we could count on, which made this visit particularly upsetting. The Reuben sandwich we were served was burnt and looked so poorly presented that it honestly appeared as though it had already been partially eaten. At that point, I had serious concerns about the quality and care being put into the food. Unfortunately, the service only made the situation worse. The wait staff was rude, dismissive, and did not make us feel like our concerns mattered. To be fair, the manager was very helpful and did what they could to address the situation. However, by that point, the experience had already taken its toll and I had completely lost my appetite. After 15+ years of being loyal customers, it's difficult to leave a 1-star review. But this was not simply a bad meal--it was an experience that genuinely made us question the standards and level of care at a place we have supported for so many years. I sincerely hope management takes this seriously, because this is not the kind of experience longtime customers should have. Not sure if there is new ownership, but doubt I'll be back.

    My friend heard about Naked Tiki Distilling in June and we visited for the first time last week…read more It's a small/medium space. We picked a table behind a wall. It was a little isolated from the main bar area. This is a "dark tiki" place. (Think of the Enchanted Tiki Room during the storm segment.) We liked the decorations, including the posters and records and especially the puffer fish lights over the tables. Some midcentury music played all evening. The volume was just right; I could hear my friends perfectly well. We drank 2-4 cocktails per person and these were good cocktails from a long menu. Some of the cocktails are made with the distillery's rum and I liked the flavor of it. The food menu at the establishment is more extensive than the menu I saw online. (I don't recall whether I saw that other menu on the website or a photo of it on a review.) We ordered pizza, loaded tater tots, and.... probably some meat item I didn't try. My friends liked the pizza more than I did. I thought it had too much sauce, but they commented that they liked the amount of sauce, so your take will depend on your preference there. The tots were good. Next time I hope to order a flatbread (white sauce). We ordered a couple of items modified or with questions about allergens and they were good about answering our questions and delivering as we ordered. Everyone seems to be experienced in table and bartending and know the ropes of the place. Our server was so nice. He spent a couple of minutes answering our questions towards the end of the evening. He told us about the membership program that costs $25/month and is worth it if you come at least 2x (or 1, depending on what you order, I think). I hope to return quite soon!
