I love having drinks at Planter's House! Like to come for the food, too but this time it was just drinks. So awesome to be waited on by Ted himself! He made some suggestions after I asked a few questions. Ended up with the Denial and Error made with Strawberry Infused Cambio Blanco Tequila, Black Sesame-Miso Syrup, Lime, and Chocolate Walnut Bitters. So different but so good as is always the case! I loved how the miso and sesame came through. My other pick was what my daughter was going to get so I got to try that, too! The So Hip It's Outta Sight made with Blanco Tequila, Green Chile Vodka, Creole Shrubb, Cranberry-Sage Syrup, and Lime. It was sweet and good. I would order either of them again. We arrived late on Sunday, around 9:00 PM and they closed at 10:00 not realizing till we were in and seated that no one else was there, we must have passed the last person that came out as we were coming in. Everyone was very gracious; we had one drink and were on our way. I normally have two but didn't want to overstay. I love this place! read more

Planter's House is not a bar... it's a whole experience. If you appreciate a well-made cocktail, this is the place to be in St. Louis. The vibe is classic, elevated, and gives true cocktail lounge energy -- not loud or chaotic, just intentional and well put together. Now let's talk about what we came for: the drinks. We ordered the Old Fashioned flight, and when I say they did not come to play... they did not come to play. Each one was crafted differently, and you can tell there's real skill behind the bar. These are not bartenders -- these are mixologists. Every drink was balanced, strong (in a good way), and thoughtfully made. Quick tip: If you plan on getting the Old Fashioned flight, make this your last stop of the night... because you will feel it. Service was great, drinks came out in a timely manner, and the overall experience felt elevated from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for a true cocktail experience in St. Louis. read more

Check your bill! A couple of couples recently stopped in for some super cocktails and a bit to eat. When the bill came the drinks were all listed as the most expensive drinks we had when 4 of the 12 drinks when less than what was billed. Additionally, both Caesar salads were listed for a protein add when only one of the two had that addition. We did not call attention and tipped on the stated amount but this as a dirty way to trump up the bill and related tip. Beware! While the drinks/food are good this leaves a bad taste. read more

We recently visited their Sippin' Santa pop up and it was so fun! The decor and drinks were perfectly on theme. The Shark Bite was our favorite themed drink. Be warned, some of the drinks are heavy on the sugar/ alcohol, but all tasted good! Our service was attentive and friendly. She walked us through what to expect from the cocktails we asked about. They serve food and other non-themed drinks as well, if you're interested or attending their pop up soon. read more

Sippin' Santa at Planter's House has a super cute and unique vibe with its Hawaiian Christmas theme. The decor and overall ambiance were fun and definitely different from the typical holiday pop-ups. With that said, I was not impressed with the menu. Every single food and drink option leaned heavily sweet. If you need to watch your sugar intake at all, this place makes it really difficult. There were no balanced or lower-sugar options to choose from, which was disappointing. When I finally found something on the meal that seemed less on the sweet side (grilled shrimp) it was $18 for 4 shrimp. I was still hungry. They also enforce a pretty strict two-hour time limit on your table. Thankfully, the staff was kind enough to extend our time since my friend's food took a while to come out, which I really appreciated. Overall, it was a cute experience and fun to try once, but it's definitely a one-and-done for me. If I ever go back, I'll be eating beforehand. read more

An absolutely lovely place to stop in for Happy Hour! The cocktails were delicious and the food was even better. Our server was attentive without being obnoxious. Since it was winter, the patio wasn't open, so the seating is pretty limited. But they were kind enough to work with us. A little loud, but I think that was more the table across from us than anything else? Only wish they were open on Mondays... And a BRUNCH! Wish they did BRUNCH!!! read more

Another fun night at Sippin Santa 2025! This is one of our favorite Pop-Ups! We were sat upstairs for the first time. The decor upstairs is just as busy and Christmasy but it's a little quieter. The special Sippin Santa drinks were great and as usual we enjoyed our meal. read more

Man. 5 stars simply for the absolute best martini I have ever had. EVER. I see why people come for the cocktails because WHEW. Fire. Came with some gilfriends for sippin santa and I really like how quirky the decor is... very much santa in the summer- super cool. Love the cocktails but they weren't very strong on the holiday menu- recommend sticking to the house made cocktails. Food was good but small portions. Still delightful. Service was great! Will be my ne read more

My friend and I reserved bar seats for $10 each (the donation goes to a charity of their choice). We enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a bit expensive for the portion sizes but unfortunately that's to be expected nowadays. The decor was kinda cheesy but cute. read more

We popped in for cocktails on a Tuesday night after having dinner at the nearby Hamilton's steakhouse. The drinks were delicious (I enjoyed my Imagination Library cocktail, and my 3 colleagues all got the Amaretto Sours our waitress recommended, and enjoyed them!). The service was very warm, welcoming, and attentive, and the ambiance was elegant. Highly recommend! read more

Planter's House has always been one of those places on my radar but that I've never stopped in for. This changed this fall when my wife and I were at a work dinner. The reception ended early, and since we had a babysitter we weren't quite ready to go home. On her suggestion we stopped in at Planter's House for a drink on a Friday night around 9pm. I can't speak to the food as we didn't order anything, but I'll talk about the drink menu. This is what the restaurant is known for and man is there really list to choose from. The building itself is old, and you can feel that history seeping into the drink menu. Plenty of places have cocktails, here it felt like it was in the blood of the establishment. The cocktails really ran the gambit and many were things you don't see on typical menus. I would hate to be a new bartender here as you would really have to learn a ton of drinks quickly. The atmosphere of the place is enjoyable. The inside is modest, but there is a HUGE patio. I think Planter's House would shine the most on those spring or fall evenings where it is just pleasant to sit outside. There is also a good happy hour T-F (4-6) and one that also runs on Sunday. There are a couple drawbacks that kept me from giving the place five stars. Although the drink menu was extensive, the food menu is not. This could put you in a bind if you are wanting more than just drinks. This isn't a huge concern, but you should know this is a drink first sort of establishment. The mixed drinks we got also were just fine, not amazing. Given how elaborately they are detailed, there was quite a bit of hype leading up to them. read more

I've been to Planter's House many times--mostly for cocktails--and haven't been disappointed yet! We recently visited in December, and they're "operating as Sippin' Santa" through December 29. They do not mess around with Christmas decorating! The place is thick with festive lights, trees, and other decorations. The usual cocktail menu is available, plus seasonal specials with a "keep the glass" option for an upcharge. Service is always friendly, and this time the bartender advised us which of the holiday offerings were his faves ("Frosty the Merman isn't going over real well but folks love the mug!") Most are fun drinks on the sweet and fruity side; after a couple we switched to the classics. Drinks have been consistently well-balanced and interesting at Planter's. It's a great place to sit at the bar for cocktails or a beer, or grab a booth with friends and enjoy dinner too. read more

Attentive service, expensive drink menu. Patio was closed when we were there, not sure why, but apparently that's the place to sit for this spot. Average cocktail is $15 each, really good bartenders that guided us to drinks...Chex mix snack was good. I've had the dill pickle fries before and they're pretty tasty. I recommend getting reservations as they don't usually take walk ins. read more

Stopped into planters house for a night cap. First and foremost, the patio is gorgeous, I'd love to get out one evening to sit outside. The interior is designed to look elegant, but the atmosphere is relaxed. I really liked this. Made it feel very welcome, but still elevated. All of the workers were great. Super nice, patient, and insanely attentive--not just to me, but all guests. I had a strange bedfellows which is one of their seasonal offerings. It is just a sour style cocktail with mezcal. I enjoyed it. Solid drink, and good presentation. I usually don't like colored glassware, but I think the green glass works for this drink. A few extra notes: attention to detail when prepping cocktails is there. They are meticulous and do their due diligence. Additionally, they have a good ice program, which is very, very important to me. Someone next to me ordered dill fries. They looked and smelled beautiful. I need to get back for some. Aromatic, and they looked crispy crispy crispy. An amazing date night spot as well. read more

Sit on the patio. Get a cocktail (or two--there are a plethora of options). Order the fries. Thank me later. Service is so kind & friendly-- only made the experience more enjoyable! read more

Planter's House - Patio - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This is a really nice space, great vibes and ambiance! Went last night and didnt realize it was a Christmas concept, which was really cute and well done. However, I ordered a spicy margarita that came out absolutely undrinkable - left my lips and throat burning from one sip and I wish that was an exaggeration. Wild to pay $20 after tip for a drink I left on the bar, I would expect at least some level of quality control or a server coming to check how things were with that price point. I think it probably depends when you go for the quality of drinks and service, maybe I caught them on a bad night. read more

Was able to check Planters House out for Sippin Santa this year and couldn't have been more pleased with the experience! Friendly staff and experienced bartender made the event even better. From the moment you step in you are transformed into a Tiki Oasis! Drinks were top notch! We had crab ragoon dip which was tasty and they even gave us extra wontons when we asked and was appreciated! A cozy corner well established drinking place when it's not the holidays, Planters is a must on your pop up bars this season. read more

Great food, service, and setting. I ordered the pork belly poutine and my wife ordered the mushroom fried rice. We split the house fries with cacio e pepe. The fries and dipping sauces were fantastic. It came with a homemade ketchup and a ranch sauce. The pork belly was amazing especially with the cheese curds on top of it. I also ordered the yard sail drink. It came in a copper cup and was great. My wife ordered a non alcoholic drink which came frozen in a tiki cup, she enjoyed it. Overall, amazing time and worth it. read more

Fantastic neighborhood AND destination bar with top notch mixologist, top-shelf selections and elevated gastropub-meets-bar food (maybe gastrobar!?). Strongly recommend the outdoor patio in a nice St. Louis day or evening. Recommend reservations on a busy evening. Here's what we drank on this visit: - Fool for a lifetime: Normally, I am not a fan of mixed drink with scotch, but this one delivers. Tasted like an elevated Manhattan. Rating 4.0 - PH Sazerac: this classic hits! Perfectly crafted. Rating 4.3 - In a Pickle: I got this because I thought it would pair nicely with the burger and the dill fries. Score! It did! Rating 4.2 - Vieux Carre: Currently my favorite cocktail and the bartender nailed it! Rating 4.4 Food selection: - kale salad: three of us shared this. It was very tasty. One of the best kale salads I've had. Rating 4.0 - Planter's House Burger: Well seasoned, perfectly cooked patty. Conservative amount of toppings delivered a ton of flavor. Bun was served untoasted and room temperature, which seemed a bit off to me. Fries were terrific! Garlic aioli option is worth a try! Rating 4.0 - Ribeye: Decent cook on this nice sized ribeye. Enjoyed the romesco sauce. Would have preferred the Brussels cooked a bit further. Rating 4.0 - Barbecue Shrimp Po'Boy: GET THIS! Best taste of the evening. The shrimp were packed with flavor. Really enjoyed the potato salad too. Rating: 4.3 - Chocolate Fudge Cake: yummy! Love the cherry sauce! Rating 4.2 Julia was our server and she was fun. Very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Overall, one of the best bars in St. Louis. Menu is a bit small compared to many other places, but the they nail every dish they serve. read more

Planter's house is a local restaurant and cocktail bar located near Lafayette Square. I was in the mood for a refreshing cocktail and decided to venture out this way for one. Planter's house has tables for dining, bar seating, and outdoor patio seating. My party decided to stay inside. The overall atmosphere is very nice, our waiter was very attentive to our needs, and our food and drinks came out very quickly. Their cocktail menu is geared towards rum, scotch, and bourbon cocktails but does contain a few gin drinks as well. I ordered a mint julep and it was both smooth and refreshing. On the food menu, various snacks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts are offered. For an entree, I ordered the cashew chicken. For the price paid, the portion size was relatively small and there were very few pieces of chicken. The meal felt warmed up to serve and I left feeling still hungry. Overall I would come back but would stick to their cocktails! read more

Big fan of this place around Christmas season. Went on 12/6, and they have the Sippin' Santa program where they decorate the entire place in a festive vibe. I mean Santa Claus is everywhere....on the walls, on the floors, behind the bar. Festive music. And they roll out an extensive drink list with all sorts of Christmas concoctions. Have no idea what the food is like, but if you wanna take your gal out for a Christmassy drink, this is the place to go. We had a blast on Saturday night and plan to make it an annual thing. PS. Apparently, we aren't the only ones who like it because there is a wait list to get in...just for drinks or to sit at the bar. We got lucky as someone left early around 9pm, or we'd have been turned away. read more

Service was weird from the host to our server the whole vibe was a little "to cool for school" aloof. The drinks were well crafted and definitely the stronger point of our experience. We had the imagination library and the PH old fashion. The fries with cacio de peppe seasoning were great! The Korean brisket won tons were good but the meat itself was not very hot it was clearly heated up and not fully. Cheese on top wasn't even melted. Flavor of meat was good though. She misrung in our general tsaos chicken and they first brought out a salad we hadn't ordered. When chicken did arrive it was tough and slightly chewy not tender at all. Our server wa almost non existent and way more focused on her other tables. I was expecting a little more for the price and ambiance. read more

Loved the patio vibes. This restaurant is pretty chill and has a laidback ambiance. The waitress was nice and patient while I was deciding what to get from the drink menu. The dish I chose was the roasted cauliflower. I didn't expect to get soup, but it was really good, nonetheless. Be mindful that there is street parking and is located next to residential houses for this restaurant. read more

This spot has been on my list for a looooong time, and its just down the street! We finally had a chance to stop in. To start, this place is gorgeous. The style is amazing and so pretty, their designer did a phenomenal job. Even the bathrooms are super nice! And clean!! The patio is huge and perfect for spring and summer time. The drinks - they had so many good options. I'm a whiskey drinker and I'll be honest, some of the ones I tried were maybe a little too unique for me? The flavor's just didn't quite work, BUT, maybe they were made for a different consumer. Others were freaking delicious, also unique, but blended flavors very well. We will definitely be back for nice cocktails. This is a treat as they are expensive, I can't see us coming back for more than one or two drinks at a time. We have not had their food but will need to come try it sometime!! read more

I would give this restaurant a 3.5/5 stars. We went for the all day Sunday happy hour. The cocktails were very good. They have both craft cocktails as well as hand crafted. They also have a big selection of various spirits. The food however was just ok. The burrata was very fresh and I enjoyed this but the crab cakes did not have much flavor and had an overly fishy taste to them. The pork belly poutine was just ok as well however with the sauce that came on it it made the fries soggy. I would definitely come back for the cocktails! read more

Enjoyed welcoming spring on the first night that Planter's House patio opened. It was lovely sitting outside drinking their delicious cocktails and sharing a bite to eat with a friend.

*Based off of a visit during their holiday pop-up, Sippin Santa!* They had the cutest cups and tastiest cocktails, all within their tropical/tiki theme. They also had small bites and a few dishes. * Drinks Ordered: Kris Kringle Colada & Sippin Santa * Food Ordered: (V) cremini mushroom & tofu bowl & French fries, because duh. Treat ya self for girls night! The bar was full so we sat at a table and the service was still great -- our server was attentive and also told us when the bathroom was open so we could make a dart for it (haha! Talk about service!) We went on a Tuesday night and called on our way (around 8pm) so didn't have any wait when we got there and were seated right away.

A spontaneous date here turned out to be quite a great time filled with delicious food and drinks. Firstly the staff was very accommodating for a late reservation.

My friend and I went to brunch on a Saturday morning right at 10 when they opened. It filled up pretty quick. On the reservation we said we had a toddler/baby and they had the high chair set up for us. My friend and I both ordered the breakfast burrito! It was delicious! I would recommend splitting it because we both ate half. The only downside was that the waitress forgot we were her table so other tables that were sat after us were waited on before us. We had to ask someone to send our waiter/waitress over. That was the only downside of our experience. I recommend especially if you want to walk in the park after! read more
