God, I absolutely love this place. I first started loving STL Barkeep cocktails back in 2020 when they were offering the pre-mix, batched, cocktails delivered to your door. I was sold. They exceed my expectations every time. We live in the neighborhood and after years of having STL Barkeep cocktails from various pop-ups it was AMAZING when they moved to Webster. We have been a few times since they opened and I get the Old Fashioned, with a Rye blend, every time and hands down it is the VERY best and I have probably tried---- 40-50 place's Old Fashioneds across the US with the majority of those being in St. Louis and the only one that even comes close is the Planter House Old Fashioned or their Black Manhattan. Its cozy and intimate in there but it is indeed loud when its very busy. Emily is a lovely bartender who chatted with us and talked cocktails and such while we were being served. We have not eaten there only ordered cocktails and we will go back many times over! read more

Off Elm? Yep, it's just two doors down on Big Bend and they're laughing and having a party. The staff of bartenders are from STL Barkeep, so you instantly know the cocktails are masterfully made. I came for a HH and enjoyed three different cocktails. My first was a Gold Rush. It's basically a Bees Knees with Vodka instead of Gin. It was light and refreshing, making it a great start. The second cocktail was one of my all-time favorites, a Old Fashioned. I can honestly say, it was one of the best, if not the absolute best one I have ever had. I finished the HH with a Espresso Martini. It was a good ending to my HH. They use a Cold Brew instead of true espresso, so it had a milder coffee taste. My nosh while drinking was a, Jalapeño Popper Dip. It was okay, in my opinion, it did not fit the description on the menu. Especially, the type of chips described. My friend ordered, The Small Board and it was fantastic and a good value. Our bartenders were friendly and as I stated earlier, they are masters of their skill. What stopped them from getting a 5 Star review, is simple. They do not offer a Martini on their Happy Hour Menu. I'm a Martini Man and that disappointed me, but it wont keep me away, it just keeps them short of 5 Stars. read more

Cute little spot. Off elm near 44. We came without reservations but were able to grab the bar by the window. Have an extensive cocktail menu. Ordered a couple drinks. Server checked on us & made recommendations on drinks when asked. They have some unique cocktails which was nice for a change from the standard cocktail. They had fun ice cubes with the name etched in them. read more

Nice place with a welcoming atmosphere. Higher ceilings, nice lighting. Large bar with a second "bar" style table and then some 1 sided booths with chairs. We were close to others patrons but still able to hear each other, had to project a bit. The drinks were really unique and cool! There were a lot of flavor and ingredient combinations that I wouldn't have thought of. They were well balanced. The food was collabed with Union Bagel and tasty but a little pricey. read more

I went to Off Elm with a group of friends, and we had a great time! The drinks are super creative and change with the seasons (the new spring menu is 10/10), and the apps are yummy. We got the jalapeño popper dip and the Riplets dip, and I had a glass of rose and the Mcfly. We were able to be seated right away and had great service from our waitress. If you like The Vandy, you'll definitely like Off Elm. read more

Cocktails were fantastic. Service was amazing. Love the atmosphere. All around awesome.

Ben the bartender was very knowledgeable and made us superb drinks! Even made my husband a rum old fashioned! Such a good experience!

Met a few old buddies for drinks on a random Tuesday night. I had never been to Off Elm but had heard good things. The drink selection was robust. Surprisingly, the available snacks were very good too. Service was attentive without being annoying. It was not crowded on this evening so it was very easy to carry on a conversation with moderate noise levels. I look forward to returning. read more

They really know their cocktails here! We had a hard time deciding with all the options. I found mine to be a bit too sweet for me. They also can make cocktails not on the menu which is nice. Parking can be a pain depending on what time/when you're going but we've never had any issues getting seats here! The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable and friendly read more

Knowledgeable staff, excellent cocktails and a solid vibe (even on a Tuesday!) - definitely try it out if you're into solid cocktails

When my wife told me the name of the bar she wanted to go to I couldn't quite place it. I should have taken the name literally. This is a relatively small restaurant that is just a block off of Elm in Webster Groves. We went in one evening as a parents' night out while we had family visiting who could watch the kids. When we walked it you go from the nondescript entrance to a warm and inviting interior. The lighting was on the dimmer side which makes it have a nice date night vibe. We sat at the bar which spans the length of the restaurant. It had a rich wood top which I always am drawn to. The place was moderately packed for a weekday with people who were 30+. I'd expect on weekends you would definitely need a reservation. There is a food menu, but this is really a drink forward establishment. They have a fully stocked bar and a very nice selection of mixed drinks, wins, and an okay selection of beers. The cocktails are the clear standout and they rotate over time. The drinks were a tad on the expensive side, but relatively standard for the quality of the establishment and vibe it is going for. The main drawbacks for the spot are two fold. First, there is a ton of competition for spots in Webster and I think this is more of a drinks rather than full meal spot. Second, parking nearby is fine, mostly on the street, but it will be off-putting for some individuals. Overall though I liked this spot if you are looking for an evenings of cocktails and light fare. read more

Off Elm is, quite literally, right off Elm. They weren't kidding with the name. Congrats to the Bar Keep team on this one, seriously, well done. Pat Gioia and I went full cocktail nerd mode here, geeking out over the history behind several classic drinks. Riveting stuff, guys. Now, Pat also convinced me to try an amaretto sour. An amaretto sour. I had doubts (because I'm not 80 and it's not Christmas), but wow, that drink slapped. Tangy, sweet, and dangerously smooth. Naturally, I couldn't leave without diving into the seafood dip #StLouisPescatarianApproved. So yeah, Off Elm nailed it. I am not surprised. read more

Such a charming spot! We came on a whim on a Saturday evening and it was packed! Luckily, they had room at the bar for us. I highly recommend making a reservation. The vibe is cozy! Low lighting and I love the decor. It feels very intimate which I love. Great spot for date night or a night out with friends. They have food offerings (we didn't try food) but would be interested in returning. I got a spritz drink which was pretty good. I noticed all of their drinks have nice additions to them which make them special and memorable. My drink had a nice mint garnish while my friends had a branded ice cube. All about the little touches! I was surprised to see that many of their cocktails are batched, I feel like this gives them time to add the fun touches. I would return for sure to dry some more cocktails and food! read more

I came here on a Friday night with friends. We carpooled together. Parking is very limited on the street. There are no reservation options at this venue so they will work to seat you and your party as it best fits and as people come and go. The inside has a modern yet retro appeal. Each cocktail is made with love and procured in various fashions and for a limited time on some. read more

I recently visited Off Elm in Webster Groves, and while it has potential, my experience was about average. The space is clean and new. The menu offers some creative cocktail options, but the execution didn't quite live up to the hype. The cocktails were visually appealing, but the flavors were hit and miss--The food was not memorable. Service was friendly but not well versed on the menu when asked about charcuterie and cheese. I'd go back to give it another shot, but for now, it's just okay. I'm hoping they'll iron out the kinks because it has the potential to be a standout spot in the area. read more

Love the Off Elm vibe. It's cool, a little eclectic and welcoming. Sandwiched between Bagel Union and Sylvie Dee's is a great spot to be in and Off Elm offers something unique to the strip. Delicious beverages and a very popular spot. Fortunately, they have a good number of tables and staff although service may still be a little slow (they're busy making exquisite cocktails!). read more

Cute place. Great for a walk from the neighborhood nearby for a drink. We both had wine (Pinot noirs) nice for a cold winter night. Zero food really. The apps are minimal. It's all about drinks. The servers are well schooled on cocktails and wine but considering all of the options in webster, to me this is a non starter. Parking not good, very congested area... NBD. We went when snow was mounded on the sidewalks and getting in was challenging. I realize this was not their doing, just difficult to negotiate. read more

We finally got around to trying Off Elm. We had dinner at a nearby restaurant and added ourselves to the waitlist as we finished dinner. We got a text almost immediately for a table. When we arrived around 7 it was packed. It cleared out shortly after we arrived. I'm guessing it's a spot for pre and post dinner drinks. We had the pimento cheese dip - I highly recommend! Our server was so fun and friendly. It's small, quaint and dark so the perfect spot for a date. read more

As a long time fan of The Vandy, I couldn't be more excited for Off Elm! The space has a warm feel with a rich wood bar top that says "sit, make yourselves at home". The cocktail menu is more limited than The Vandy but the drinks are top tier! Our wonderful bartender, Sia (like the singer), recommended the Seattle Button Down and Coconut Crossing. They are complete opposites but equally amazing. I'm not a big bourbon drinker but the Seattle Button Down has me singing a different tune. The Coconut Crossing is the beach in a glass. Sweet coconut with a minty lift. If I had to choose one, I'd go with the Seattle Button Down. Highly recommend using the waitlist so you'll be seated immediately as there's not much waiting room. I'm sure this will become a great neighborhood staple! read more

Amazing new spot and great addition to Webster! We went on Tuesday and our bartender Chris was fantastic! He is passionate about his craft and knows absolutely everything about cocktail making. They have a great selection of cocktails on their menu but if you tell Chris what you like he can whip you up something special off menu. All the cocktails we had were so good! Pricey at about $16 a pop but you're drinking top shelf products so worth it in my opinion. A cool vibe inside-they nailed it on the decor. Again, so excited to have this great cocktail bar in the neighborhood! Def my new favorite spot. read more

Adorable little cocktail bar with drinks for everyone. I was appreciative of the multiple mocktail options that they offered. Our group had a variety of drinks, and the bagel pizzas - all very good. It was a bit noisy but not too bad overall. Our server was also the bartender and very knowledgeable about each drink. I plan to return. read more

This place is the perfect cocktail bar. Their menu is huge and changes with the seasons. We got the xo spritz and margarita- both were so unique and fresh.

Disappointing. Really wanted this to be good. I ordered a glass of wine which was a very small pour at $14 per glass. When we asked bartender about it she said it was a big glass. Regardless of glass size it was still a small pour. Our server was more focused on the divorced dads group that was there. Dont recommend this place! Should've gone to Olive Oak instead and got the same glass of wine but a way better pour. I regret not saying you can keep this and leaving. read more

Fantastic cocktails, and our service was smooth for the most part. Pretty impressive for a new cocktail bar.

Great little spot. Good drinks. Nice wait staff. You might miss it if you don't know where you're going. Don't miss it.

Terrific drinks. Very knowledgeable staff that makes you feel at home. Good selection of mocktails too! Highly recommend.

Finally! Got to enjoy a beautiful cocktail at Off Elm. Cozy but bigger than I thought from the outside. You can't imagine the selection of spirits lining the walls - if you drink it, they have it. Staff was beyond helpful and so fast. My mezcal cocktail was delicious and nothing I would have thought to order and the G&T was top notch. Union bagels served as the base for the mini pizza app we had and, needless to say I say more they were great. Glad we finally tried this gem. read more

Great staff and drink options. Cool vibe and location, great place to meet friends for a happy hour or pre-event cocktail.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Off Elm. We tried the Seattle Button Down, Nutty Bananas, Old fashioned, Oaxacan Old Fashioned, and the pimento cheese. The Oaxacan old fashioned was my favorite by far, perfect balance of the smokiness with the sweet/floral. The pimento cheese with ritz was delicious. They were very busy the whole time we were there and we had no big service issues. They really transformed the space beautifully. Can't wait to go back! read more
