Came in for an old fashioned after doing a quick search on yelp!…read more I like looking for the "best old fashioned" but realize that is all super subjective. There was absolutely nothing special about this old fashioned. I think the most disappointing thing about this drink was they muddled the luxardo cherry into the drink. The only place so far that I found that actually had luxardo cherries WHY would you muddle it. Ugh. The inside was cool. It really could have been a place I would frequent because of its proximity to work. But bummed they just don't have my drink. No biggie there are other places

If you know, you know. And when you do, you'll have the time of your life…read more Heads-up, the signage of this classic 1920's themed bar is minimal. 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.

I ordered one of the gin specials as it was National Gin Day. The drink was delicious and beautiful, so I ordered two! This is my kind of place, darker and quiet without too many people, and a super fun ambiance. The bartender, I believe she said her name was Carrie, was very helpful and friendly. I ordered the charcuterie board and it was beautifully presented and large as well. I will be back, with friends!

While some of the drinks were much stronger than I'm used to, as your girl really only likes the fruity girly drinks, this was such a fun time trying so many new things and I wouldn't give it up for anything. My friends that were a little bit more accustomed to different alcohols loved all of the drinks, especially the Mezcal and sweet corn one! My favorite personally was the Ube, espresso, and Matcha beverage that came with dessert. My favorite meal has to be a tie between the steak, which melted in our mouths, and the cavatelli, which had beef cheek and a Bolognese sauce. The Erie vibe of this with the long table, and so many candles was absolutely stunning, and the staff were absolutely amazing, and even dressed up to fit the vibe! While I will say, this dinner did take a long time, we were also the first group to try it so they were working out their kinks. We got there around 6 PM and didn't leave until a little bit after 11. So, while this is a wonderful experience, I will say, if you are trying to get in and get out, save this for a different time. I definitely think that this is worth trying, though, and I would hurry up and book your reservation before they all fill up for this month!

My partner and I were looking for a calm place to get a drink when we remembered we heard about a…read morenew place in Maryville. A quick online search brought us to Speakeasy Parlor in Maryville. Forest impressions: We loved the non-descript feather sign, and the "no snitches" on the door was kinda funny. Though, that plus the neon "cocktails" sign on the window sends a bit of a mixed message for a place that's supposed to be a throwback to a secretive prohibition-era lounge. The 2 TVs inside detracted from it a little, too, and fast was more unfortunate. Still...My second impression: What a cute little place! The bar and the furniture are lovely and the cushions were so polish and soft. There were many great, comfortable places for groups of two to four to chat, and there's no loud music, meaning you can actually HEAR your friends when you chat with them. (At least, if the place isn't full; the floor was pretty crowded with tables, so I suspect it could still get loud. Third impressions were all about the drinks. My partner had a Spicy Cantaloupe Daiquiri. His opinion: The cantaloupe sugar rim was maybe the best part of the drink, though the tequila-based daiquiri was well-balanced, very tasty, and just the right amount of spicy. I had an Earl of Gray cocktail with a lavender sugar half-rim. It smelled SOOO good, and it tasted even better. To be honest, it may have been one of the best cocktails I've had ever. I actually can't wait to bring a couple of friends here!

There is no big Vandy sing outside when you walk up, but if you look closely to the side of the door you will get the confirmation you seek with the hard to read wooden sign etched with the name. The inside was long and narrow and the artificial greens all around gave it a cozy vibe. The place was packed on a Friday night and there was one lone bartender that was kicking butt and taking names. We did not have to wait long for our libation. Cocktail prices range between $12 - $16.

I've passed this entrance plenty of times, and had no idea what was there. Walk in, knock three times, there may or may not have been a password. Take the long winding hallway to the heavy steal door. Behind the door is a lovely cocktail lounge. We did make reservations to ensure we had a comfortable table to accommodate our group. Cozy couches and plump club chairs huddled around small tables made for an intimate experience. The drink menu is long!!! Not in the mood for cocktails? They offer bourbon and whiskey tastings. We tried several of the cocktails. The drinks were well balanced and delicious. We appreciated the use of the proper ice based on the drink. The attention to detail is top notch. Cocktails and socializing can leave me feeling a little peckish. NOTA has a small but nice offering of small plates. There were six of us so we ordered several things to share. My favorite was the focaccia bread and the tiny cherry peppers. This was an enjoyable experience. We plan on visiting again soon.

More people need to check this place out. It's perfect for date night, a girls' night out, or just something fun to do while you're in the City Foundry area. I can't wait to come back!

I was about to get on a riverboat and needed a cheeky little drink to help me with my excursion…read more Trust was located within walking distance of the Gateway Arch Riverboats, it was open when I needed it to be (around noon), and it had wine. Done! Trust is also a coffee bar, and I'm pretty sure I visited when it was coffee time, and a tad too early for cocktail hour. But the kind person behind the counter could probably see that I was on my way to spend an hour of my life on a riverboat, so she took pity on me and poured me a nice, cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc. This coffee bar slash cocktail bar has lots of seating. The space almost feels like being in a library, but without books, if that makes sense. Lots of big tables, but also bar seating. When I visited, there were people working remotely and studying. I got a seat at a table and just sipped my refreshing wine while looking at all of the art on the walls.
