There's a small sidewalk sign and then you have to figure out how to open the door from the street. Once inside the small butcher shop, you gotta figure out where the secrete passage is. Once inside, you'll be blown away by the vintage 1920's ambiance. There's approximately 4 or 5 stools at the bar and several seating areas with plush sofas and overstuffed chairs. If you prefer a table with chairs, they've got that, too. Whatever you like, you can find a comfortable seat to enjoy your cocktail. The cocktails are masterfully made and served up in classic vintage glasses. I enjoyed a Dirty Gin Martini and a Rye Manhattan. Both cocktails were smooth as silk and the presentation was stellar. I gotta go back and have another Martini, I forgot to take a picture. It looked so good, I just started drinking. When I typically order a Martini, I tell the mixologist to "make it skate". Chatting with the bartender about what Gin to use, I forgot to request that detail. To my delight, when the cocktail was placed in front of me, it had the "make it skate" detail. I love that thin topping of ice chips on my martini. While sipping classic cocktails, sometimes you need a little nosh and The Speakeasy has that, too. I choose the Spinach Artichoke Dip and it was rich in flavor. The mixture of the artichoke with the spinach in cream cheese went perfectly with the super thin crackers. I hope they are still offering it when I go back for another martini. The two bartenders were exceptional. Both of them were very personable, making my time sitting at the bar enjoyable. If you haven't been, go find The Speakeasy and then you'll know.

In checking out their FB page, I saw them mention a gingerbread latte, so I made the drive. When I got there, they didn't have their holiday menu out yet, but the staff was happy to make my GBL anyway, so that was much appreciated. For people like me who prefer to make their coffee more like a dessert, they have lots of different flavored lattes on their menu. I also had a breakfast burrito, which was fine. If you're not familiar with the area, your GPS will probably lie to you about the location. It's right next to the visitors center, with a good sized parking lot. Not a bad coffee option if you happen to be in the area.

Ibby's offers an upgraded food and dining experience for Washington University faculty, staff and students. A hostess seated us and was pleasant. The dining room was almost empty on a Thursday around noon while school was in session. Our very friendly waiter arrived quickly as we reviewed menus we requested waters. The decor is bright and the kitchen is partially exposed. The seating is table and chairs. There is one group table for like 6-8 in the back. The noise level was low. I ordered the beet salad and added grilled chicken. My wife the turkey club and substituted the potatoes for a salad. Both were recommended by the waiter. Orders pushed out in around 20 minutes. My salad was good, not great. Everything seemed fresh. My wife liked her sandwich, however the bacon was tough. We did receive a table check and waters refilled. We declined deserts although they sounded good. The bill was a bit steep for a salad and sandwich with two waters. I probably would not return.

My friends and I did go for one of their birthdays and they gave us a free dessert which was good. The waiter was sweet, though. I'd only go to Ibby's if you are SWIMMING in meal points and don't know what to do with them. I'll also add that their free bread served at the beginning is pretty bad. Portions are also small. Here's what we tried: -Ibby's Salad: 6/10 - Huge pieces of beets were kind of out of place. The goat cheese was good, but the dressing wasn't even on most of the salad. -Mahi Lokos Nachos: 4.5/10 - Not very much to these nachos. The fish was pretty good, but there was a sort of mushy green guacamole on top that just felt a bit out of place. No real flavor either. -Garlic Seared Prawn Pasta: 9/10 - This was actually really good. The seafood was delicious and the garlicky sauce was super decadent. The only thing is I would prefer there to be a larger serving. -Gnocchi Primavera: 5/10 - The fried gnocchi was delicious but the rest of the dish was a disappointment of soggy veggies. -Flourless Chocolate Cake: 5/10 - I had good expectations but this missed the mark once again. No chocolate flavor and not rich or fudgy at all. Wouldn't waste the meal points here.

Review: Disney on Ice Feb 2026 I love live entertainment!…read moreThis event was for the kiddos... and of course myself & grandma too! (any reason to be a big kid again)! Tickets: I drove downtown to the box office to save on the extra convenient fees that are automatically added if purchased online through ticket master. Service: This time around, they were two employees working. One was a lady, I wanted to wait for the older guy who was already helping someone, as he seemed very helpful in giving her insights. The lady decided to open up her window and called for the next customer. She was EXTREMELY RUDE! Almost turned me away! I ended up telling her that I will take some time to look on the website myself because she seemed as though she didn't want to be of help, and was rushing me to make a decision (no one was waiting behind me). I quickly browse the web and decided to wait for the older gentleman as I first intended to. I am glad I did. He was VERY Helpful! We got seats very close to the ice for very low cost! He also offered his recommendations! Event: We opted for the 11AM event, large turn out, but mostly longer children as to be expected for that time during school hours. Lots of lighting & stage effects being utilized which I love. However, this maybe not safe for someone who struggles with seizure disorders. Concession Stands: As you can imagine, plenty of vendors to get ALL of your money with all the Disney on Ice Sovereign. Food: We opted for quick bites and cotton candies. Plenty of junk food to choose from! Parking: Limited street parking available. Near by lots available for a fee. Closer ones cost more. We opted for one diagonal the venue for $20, I believe it was card only. Also, the metro link has a stop right next to the venue's location! I've opted for that option before to cut cost. Recommendations: Kiddos enjoyed it and so did we! Definitely worth checking a show out!

The best hockey stadium in the world. Only fitting for the best fans in the world. I can say this. Hockey fans are so much better and lively than baseball fans. St Louis is known as a baseball city.

They did an amazing job to make you feel welcome and appreciated. The nachos were good, but not great. The chips and cheese were very good. The meat was okay, but something was off with the meat in my opinion. It wasn't bad. It might have been the texture for me. The jalapeños were great. The portion size was huge. The refillable soda was huge. I thought I was going to get a refill. I couldn't even finish my Mellow Yellow soda. The only disappointing part it was the last game of the season.
