Our first stop is always the pet aisle because they carry treats we like for the baby. And then we venture to all other areas afterwards. They have a great selection of kitchen decor and bar decor. We love the stemware, cookware, cocktail shakers, cocktail mixes, charcutier essentials and snack options. They have a rotating selection of gorgeous bar stools and leather chairs which we constantly keep our eyes open for. Along with benches for the front door. The prices are reasonable and the finds are rare. It's just so much quality in one store for your home.

St. Louis is lousy with these microbreweries--this part of town in particular, to the point where,…read moreas I ran the streets of the surrounding area, I was violently assaulted with what must be the smell of beer as it's being brewed. It's not altogether different from the smell of beer as it's coming back up, and it called to mind my illustrious, mostly-forgotten-at-this-point college years. I was suddenly compelled to listen to Cannibal Ox and watch certain videos that I'd pilfered from Kazaa, and it's probably for the best that I didn't have access to a circa 1998 Compaq Presario in that moment. The vibe in Bluewood Brewing is a lot classier. There's no "Iron Galaxy" over the PA. The lights are dimmed, which I imagine would be convenient if there was someone there you owed money to. I was particularly impressed with a long table on the patio. I remarked to a member of my running group that it almost certainly didn't come from IKEA. The wood was of too high a quality. The food menu is limited to a small selection of standard sports-bar fare, but this is not anywhere you'd go to watch the game. They might not have any TVs. Did they spend too much on the table? Also, they don't sell any beer in cans, that I'm aware of, which I generally prefer as someone who, as the evening progresses, is prone to dropping things. I went with something called Crush, which is an orange-flavored high-gravity IPA. It was the highest ABV selection on their regular beer menu, but it also costs a little bit more, so you're not really getting over on them--unless you thought to "pregame." I found it to be both less "stiff" than I was expecting and less orange-tasting, in a good way but also in a bad way, in that anything that fails to conform to expectation is at least somewhat disappointing. I was expecting paint thinner and orange juice. I got something that was balanced and flavorful. From the food menu, I got the daily special, which was a sort of elevated patty melt called the Stable Melt. It came with two all-beef patties, Swiss, caramelized onions and "Frisco" sauce on Union Loafers marbled rye, with your choice of chips or fries. It was $18, and as I was standing there a guy came out and changed the price to $19, presumably due to developments in the war with Iran. I was assured that I'd be "grandfathered in" at $18, but I'm not sure if he told the guy at the register and I didn't bother to check. It wasn't necessarily my kind of thing, but it was a great burger. The name-brand bread alone nearly justified the price increase. The meat was generously proportioned (no Diddy), but it didn't quite extend to the edges of the bread. Perhaps if it were one larger patty? The onions gave it a sophisticated Salisbury steak vibe, wholly superior to Hungry Man. The fries called to mind the fries at Wendy's. If only they offered a Frosty to dip them in. It wouldn't necessarily go with their beer. I'd suggest they put bourbon or something in it, but I shudder to think what they might charge.

Having oat milk as an option for my cortado is another WIN! The serene ambiance is warm & inviting. Very simplistic and easy to work space. Plenty of outdoor seating to accommodate those wanting to stretch out or bring your four legged friends along for a day at the cafe. Clearly I'm a regular but I'm also a fan. Keep it up! ~Christy

Lively atmosphere, bartenders were welcoming and interactive. We ordered the Hot Cheese curds as an appetizer, and I got the Obscura as me beer of choice. Not going to lie, the cheese curds were as advertised! They were hot! Not so much that I couldn't handle but don't take them lightly, they are good. They came drizzled with a good ranch. The beer was great, especially with the hot cheese curds. Ordered the Friday Fish Sando with no cheese. Came out in a timely manner, large and crispy! It was messy in the best way. Crispy, beer battered cod, lettuce, and house made tarter. It was juicy on the inside with none of the batter mush you can sometimes get with fried fish, loved the house made tarter, all-around great sandwich. The fries were on point, too. Crispy but not greasy. Great space, friendly staff, good food!

I came with my parents and husband and we all agreed it was a great idea and a very comfortable space, perfect for what was needed. I was surprised at how relatively ample the parking was here despite its proximity to the city. We found a spot with no problems. There were discreet signs that directed us up the stairs to where the event was held. It was spacious, airy, and cool, with a decent number of tables and a very nice large bar, as well as restrooms for both men and women. Our family members who spoke were able to stand on a small stage and share their thoughts. The food was served buffet style in front of the stage. Although you'd think it might be hard to hear given the acoustics, they worked out a way to make it so their speeches could be heard easily. Even visiting with other folks after they spoke, it never became too loud to hear each other. There are also nice TVs which displayed photos of the family. Although we used the space for a celebration of life, I can imagine it would be a good fit for all sorts of events, from corporate parties to just a chill hang out space when it's open to the public. It did get a little bit hot in the space as the event wore on, but it wasn't intolerable. The food and drinks were also quite tasty, especially for catered/buffet style food. There were pretzel bites and cheese dip and three different types of slider burgers: a standard/original burger, a taco burger, and an Impossible burger. The pretzel bites were crispy and buttery. I had a taco burger slider. It was a tiny bit dry but had a great flavor. The bartenders were great -- friendly, answering questions, working efficiently, and very kind to all the guests. Husband enjoyed the beers he tried and my mom and I both ordered the "Cranberry Crush," which was a yummy (and strong!) cocktail that was bright and perfectly sweet. They also serve mocktails, which I love! Glad to include folks who are sober. Thanks, 4 Hands, for creating a welcoming and comfortable space for us!

We wanted to try as much as possible so we did the Let Us Cook For You. For apps, we got the focaccia, duck liver mousse, crispy potato, naked vegetables, and cured sea trout. Everything was insane. Our favorite may have been the mousse and I normally hate liver! Everything was so creative and delicious. Second course we were given the peekytoe crab rice, chicken, and sweet potato. Everything was delicious but the sweet potato really was a star - I have no idea how they made it so good! The sticky toffee pudding for dessert was perfect. We also loved all our drink, especially "Carrot" which sounds odd but was so refreshing! We loved that the chef chooses for you and gives such a thoughtful variety - I cannot wait for next time!

They were completely full, probably bc they had just been announced as a James Beard Award Finalist for best restaurant. This was my parents last night in town so we were facing no special dinner anywhere at that late notice. Well do you know what? Kevin the GM so very kindly made a spot for us in the wine garden. We were the only ones out there bc they don't serve food there except during pop events. My parents LOVED it bc it was so quiet they could easily hear the conversation. The weather was spectacular and we were so grateful to have a spot. Because this wasn't anyone's section, Kevin, the GM, was our server. Kevin is a master at hospitality, and when asking him about making it to the finals of the JB Award, he was so happy to say this was a really special nomination because it recognizes the incredible commitment and hospitality of the whole restaurant staff. They've been nominated for several years in different categories. This is a first for "the big one". Ok now to the food. We had focaccia bread, we each ordered one of the mains (one of each protein beef short ribs, salmon, and chicken) and we shared a salad. Everything was delicious, beautiful presentation, and well balanced flavors. I had the cocktail Kevin recommended and it was fantastic (La Pxxxx), perfect amount of sweet and sour. Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert, I think a Midwest take on the British pudding. There wasn't a crumb left of anything, except a leg of the chicken main because a half chicken is a lot for one person to finish. I would go back again for the hospitality alone (but also knowing every bite will be deliciously appreciated). Can't wait for my next visit.
