In town for a wedding and we were looking for a close place to grab some drinks. Rosie's Place has a nice local neighborhood vibe. Customers and staff are very friendly and drinks are cheap and service great. read more

Stumbled upon this place after having a sandwich down the street. Very small, but yet comfortable. Mike is a cool bartender, and ensured I was waited on promptly at the bar. All the beers they have are posted with prices, so there's really no room for questions. Even though Mike will gladly answer any and all questions. Thomas showed up for shift change, and was helpful in getting certain games on TVs for me to watch . A little too far away from me to frequent, but if I'm ever in the area, I'll definitely stop back in! read more

Well if I could give six stars we still wouldn't have enough stars. Our AC is out on the hottest week of the year and we decided to chill out have a drink and order sushi from next door . The bar tender Tim said Rosie wanted to make our night more comfortable so they treated us to a delectable candle light dinner experience. Can't wait to come back again and meet this Rosie woman . I told them I love that they had a golden tee machine . They said their is a top score on Jamaican bay by a regular VB that can't be beaten by anyone . I will have to give it a go . Will post up dates when I win read more

Rosie's Place - A great night - Sports Bars Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Rosie's is the only divey down to earth bar left in the CWE and it's a must go for me if I happen to be in the area. Amidst all the overpriced snooty places, find your way to Rosie's for cheap drinks in a no frills, laid back, neighborhood style bar. I'm not really sure what some of the other reviews with negative comments about the regulars or the owners is all about because I've never had a bad experience. A few months ago I came in with a small bachelorette party on a Sunday afternoon and a few different people sent us different rounds of shots which was unexpected and super nice. Grab a beer, watch a game and enjoy! read more

If you enjoy a regular bars, then Rosie's Place should be high on your list to try! The no-thrills atmosphere provides local Central West Enders a place to hang out, watch sports (at times over killing the atmosphere), listening to a wide range of music and drinking cocktails for less than they typical CWE restaurants and bars. Happy hour is always busy. And all of the customers know each other.... kind of like Cheers. If dive bars are not your thing..... go elsewhere. If you like a relaxed, no thrills, regular bar where everyone knows your name. Try it! read more

See all

When I told friends I was going to Rosie's they polietly told me, "you know that is a dive bar". Like that was going to stop me. I told them I was aware of the "type" of bar I was going to and as long as they had vodka things would be A-OK. The drinks are cheap and the bartender gives a healthy pour. So it is real easy to get your buzz on. The decor is simple; bar, stools, high top tables and a juke box. It is a true neighborhood bar, with a good cast of regular drinkers. It was fun to watch as each new arrival entered the dive. There would be waves , handshakes and hugs from the other drinkers. A true "Cheers" bar, "Where everyone knows your name". Which is a good thing, because I think some drinkers there might need a little reminder of who they are before the night was over. When visiting Rosie's just beware, you may run into someone you know and just like Vegas, what happens at Rosie's stays at Rosie's. read more

Awesome bar! We cane in from out of town and ended up there 3 times in 2 days. Tim is a great bartender. Very welcoming to out of towners. Thanks! read more

Fun locals bar near our hotel. We stopped in twice. The bartender was friendly, the drinks were cheap and the crowd can be entertaining at times! Fun stop on our weekend adventure. read more

limited snacks but great pizza; excellent helpful service, CHEERs ambiance, cheap well prices, reasonable call prices for neighborhood, outdoor patio, chinese restaurant next door. street parking read more

Lovely dive bar. Cozy (inside only seats maybe 30-40?) and homey. Bartenders know you by name, and many of the customers also seem to be familiar with each other. No kitchen service just snacks and cigarettes (and apparently pizzas? I've never tried ordering one though). Drinks are cheap (especially for Central West End!) and strong. The lady who seems to be in charge of the bar is not named Rosie, so don't ask. Lastly, cash is king. read more

Such nice people and great service. One of my favorite spots to just grab a drink and hang out!

The CWE needs a bar like Rosie's (i.e., a comfortable, hole-in-the-wall sorta place, where you can kick your feet up and relax). Unfortunately, Rosie's isn't that bar. I recently had a negative experience there and won't be going back. My friend and I were at Rosie's on a Sunday, watching football. Shortly after we arrived, a drunk woman who'd been at the bar for a few drinks walked over to our table and told us that "chairs are not ottomans" and that we needed to put our feet on the floor. These are cheap, uncomfortable chairs. This is a dive bar. My friend and I attempt to laugh it off as being a pretty silly request, but the woman wasn't having anything of it. She then began asking us if we "knew who she was." She began to raise her angrily voice, and gestured to the bartender that we were to be cut off (we'd only had one drink). She was, apparently, "Rosie," and she does not like it when people put their feet on the chairs. We left the bar immediately, and took our business elsewhere. If she'd been friendly, introduced herself, etc, we would have obliged with apology. But her condescending tone belied the idea of a dive like Rosie's. As we were leaving, a few of the regulars at the table next to ours pulled us aside and said, "don't worry about it, we've all had an experience like that." There's in fact another Yelp review recounting a negative experience with "Rosie." There are other bars in the CWE. Go to any of them instead. I'm sure Rosie won't miss my business, and I hope her cheap chairs last a lifetime. read more

"Rosie" was working the bar. We came in after an engagement party on a Sunday afternoon to watch football and continue to enjoy the day. After she confiscated our drinks that we brought in, with which we had no issue, she completely refused to serve our table. I've never had worst service our worst attitude from the bar owner. She basically told us that she's been in business for 100 years and we could go fly a kite. I'm in the customer service business, and I've never been treated so poorly. There was no amount of apology or conversation I was going to change her mind. I will never go back. read more

In town for a long weekend. Atmosphere was right, panties tight, Tim (the bartender) was a delight. Highly recommend for amazing memories!! read more

What I'm about to tell you is a very very very sad story. Ok breathe, here we go! I went to Rosie's on my last night in town with 4 work buds. It was my last chance to get my favorite cheap beer, STAG! (I can't get it in Iowa) And it was not on the menu in our fancy hotel bar. We looked on Yelp to see what was in walking distance and we found Rosie's! A quaint divey bar with a smiling bartender, lots of folks on high tops and low top tables, and a very welcoming crowd. I made my entire group get Stags, from the tender and we talked to a couple locals! One of them was really wanting to talk to us and had just put in about 10 dollars into the touch tunes juke box! Our group was already having a rough night with the Touch Tunes having one malfunction on us earlier in the evening, making us huddle around an I-phone in a cup. (ps that trick does not work). I looked over at the local to see what he was choosing it looked like great soul music selections, so I made a comment to him! And he said do you want to pick the rest? WHAT? I said, and he said Yes pick the rest! So I had 15 credits for songs! This is like finding a pot of Gold on St. Paddy's day, Ps did I mention it was St. Paddy's day, and I just got Lucky enough to Dj the night out at Rosie's on this Juke box.. I made my selections and waited for them to start playing, by which time the guy who gave me the credits started being a little to friendly to our group so we had to bail, before any of the tunes started.. I was so sad, but happy to know that when I left the bar was going to get hoppy with some... SADE, Wilson Pickett, Van Morrison, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Aretha, Bruce, Dylan, Jackson 5, Thin Lizzy, and more! Rosie's you were great, friendly, and the Stag was cold with a pot of gold! read more

This place was a little crazy. The locals hanging out here were super friendly (perhaps a little too friendly, if you know what I mean). Drinks were cheap and the jukebox was pumping. The big news was that the bar was on its second day of existing in a brave new world of being smoke-free. You could tell, as the smell of stale smoke still lingered in the air, seeping out of the woodwork. But no one seemed to be complaining. Rosie's is tiny--it can hold maybe 25 people comfortably. The crowd was a mix of 20-somethings all the way up to the drunk old guy face-plant-asleep at the bar. He must be a regular, as the bartender just let him sleep it off. Nice. read more

Little dive bar where I bet everyone knew each other's names before the posse I was with walked in. I now know is the ultimate dive bar beer in STL: Stag! A Jukebox and seating both at the bar and some high-top tables made for comfortable last drink of the night for me. Thanks, Rosie! Maybe someday I'll get to know everyone's name here. read more

A haiku review for Rosie's, a #tooreal dive that I had the pleasure of experiencing this past week whilst in St Louie: Stag on the real cheap Old dude face planted on bar Magical drunk-land read more

What a terrific neighborhood bar! It's like cheers where everybody knows your name. I went there a couple of times the drinks are heavy pour and inexpensive. A non-pretentious place, gotta love it. Dress down or dress up, bring a few friends or go solo. Rosie's Place is very welcoming. All Creeds, colors, classes! They may be a hole in the wall but it's an awesome hole in the wall! I had to review this place because I enjoyed the bar staff, boat patio areas and the pleasantries. read more

THIS IS A GREAT BAR!......If you are a middle-aged single man on the verge of homelessness. In reality, I don't exactly know why I found myself at this bar, but I know I regretted ever being there. This place is the epitome of "dive bar". The regular crowd of fragrant drunks is unappealing and actually disgusting. Looking for dead bar scene on a Saturday....they have it! Looking for a dart board with broken darts or a beer selection highlighted by Bud Light....yeah, you will find that stuff too. This may be one of the worst bars I have ever been to. But hey, what do I know. If I was 50+ and on my 3rd divorce this place may rock. Maybe even if was an anal 20-something who smokes to look cool and wears tighty-whities I may like it. BUT, since I am not, it is really not a good place. I think I would rather sit at my house by myself drinking warm Banker's Club Vodka while getting beat by a midget than go to this place again. NO GOOD read more

I come from a friendly place but I have never had so many strangers talk to me in a bar than Rosie's. This is definitely a place where regulars congregate and know that you're new and maybe interesting (mostly in the way of they haven't heard your stories 53 times already). After confirming that I'm not a medical student and giving out some free business advice I was able to have a nice conversation with the wonderful pals I came in with. There's a digital jukebox, it's dimly lit, and the beers are cheap. I was treated to the local dive beer, Stag, and it was about what you'd expect from the makers of Old Style and PBR. I'm not sure if people were actually smoking in the bar, but I'm 100% positive that people did smoke in the bar at some point. It just had that haze about it. If the CWE is not your scene in general, Rosie's just might be your place. read more

I stopped in on my way to a different bar mostly because I parked right in front of it. There was a sticker on the door the designated it having won an award for cheapest drinks. I couldn't go wrong. I've used the TV bar Cheers as an example before, but this really is the real deal. I'm not so sure I felt completely comfortable in the bar, but that was probably due to it being a Tuesday night. I went in with just one other friend to join about 5 other regulars inside. I got the feeling that most people in this bar knew each other very well and were surprised to see an outsider. I didn't get anything special, just a bud light. But as I sipped (quickly because I didn't want to overstay my welcome), I realized that I should come back with more people and on a less obscure night. I really wanted to play darts, but it was already very awkward, so we left. read more

The CWE dive bars are dropping like flies. J&A's remains MIA, 34 Club is gone to appease the highrise gods. So, we're left with Rosies. I love Rosie's, so don't take the "dive bar" label as a negative. It's right across the street from Taste, so if you want cocktails incredibly well-prepared and pricey, head there. If you want a beer and low key bar food for cheap (along with cigarette smoke and kino), head to Rosies. Nothing too special about Rosies. The crowds are always chill, the bartenders are always friendly, and the beer is usually cold. What more could you ask for? Just be aware this is one of the few smoking bars left in the city, so if that's not your bag, beware. read more

Rosie's Place is my favorite bar in the west end, there are no flashy attractions or gimmicks. But be warned this is a smokers bar, also they do allow dogs in there. read more

When you get tired of the glitz and flash and all the frat boys, Rosie's Place is the perfect solution. Small, simple, the bartender is always friendly and on top of things. Great place to just relax and have a few drinks with friends, or make new ones. Great casual, friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Make no mistake it's a "dive bar" and you'll run into all types of people here. But it's generally a fun crowd. read more

It's like sitting in your best friends living room after a long day at work. Everyone has a drink , watches TV, make friends, no hostility and no one is snobby!! It's a place where you can buy 1 person a drink as a nice gesture and you'd make 10 new bars friends. Don't rock the boat... And you have your very own CHEERS. Enjoy! read more

Joke of a place. Our group arrived early to reserve a table for the Blues game only to have an old lady (possibly Rosie) come up to us and tell us we had to leave the table. Apparently, some "regulars" who came in after the game started deserved it more than we did. No reserved notice on the table or anything like that. We left and will not be returning and neither should you. read more

As some of you know, I'm a dive bar fan. Nothing is better than sharing a story and drink with a the working man. The best dive bar in all of STL is probably J&As in the CWE. I've been to countless dive bars since then and none of them really stack up. However, a good runner up can be found just down the block. Rosie's Place offers super cheap drinks, a solid pour, plenty of locals, smoking allowed, to-go flasks and a juke box. And it's right across the street from one of the most solid upscale restaraunts in town, Taste. For a fun time and some awesome food, I highly recomment going to Rosie's place... then leave and grab a table at Taste. read more

Great neighborhood dive bar. The bartender is super on-the-bar. Nice outdoor area as well. This is the kind of place where the regulars will buy you a shot instead of staring at you like you don't belong. read more

Eventually all CWE bars start to look alike in terms of music, residents, bar staff and prices. Every now and then I like to break the monotony of the Bar Louie/Drunken Fish rotation. How can I "leave" the CWE without leaving the CWE? Rosie's. Everything you recognize from your regular Friday night out will be swapped for something different. Corporate decor is swapped for whatever Rosie's owner(s) had accumulated over the decades, Top 20 on repeat will be swapped for a jukebox, pricey pints will be swapped for cheap pitchers, your busty server will be swapped for a burly bartender, and your standard night out will be swapped for a more memorable experience. read more

If you're looking for someplace in the Central West End where everybody know your name, this is it. This place is seriously underrated. You can smoke. They have Vintage Bud stuff. The bartender or maybe the Owner will chat you up while you're ordering your beer. It's no nonsense. When the zombie apocalypse hits the east and west coast and Saint Louis is flooded with hipsters, this place will be overrun. Get there now while it's still authentic. read more

Fun dive bar. We went here on Halloween and it was fun crowd that night! Kind of a small place, so it was packed, but music was good and the people were friendly. read more

One of the few places in CWE that is open later at night regularly. A nice authentic neighborhood spot, with good cheap drinks.

LOVE THIS BAR!!! Small town hospitality at its best in the middle of the city. Shannon is awesome. This is our second time here and he started fixing our drinks as soon as we walked in the door without us even needing to order. Just like in the small town I used to live where they knew everyone. I have lived close to here for a little over three months. I walk by here almost every day to and from work. My only regret is I haven't stopped in sooner. No happy hour because they don't need one. Their drink prices are the best in the CWE. read more

Love this place! My best friend and I come in here all the time. The drinks are cheap and pretty decent, plus it's always nice that they remember who you are. This is my favorite place in CWE read more

Cheaps drinks and a smoker's delight. Crowd consisted of guy's in pullovers to gal's evening dresses. Everyone hangs out here. Bartender was attentive. read more

Love this place. Our bartender Shannon was awesome and attentive. Laid back atmosphere with good people and great music. For sure my new favorite for casual drinks! read more
