The staff is friendly, the store vibe is welcoming, and there is a nice selection of liquor and beers. If I may give some constructive criticism without being too negative because it's still a five star location. It would be about the wine selection and organization feels very basic. I am not a huge wine guy but I prefer a store that searches out delicious authentic wines at a reasonable price over the big box names and the sections sometimes overlap with the categories above. Also the lemonchello sections needs a lemonchello creme just fyi. There is a fantastic selection of whiskey and bourbon here, one of my favorite trys has been the Penelope brand, cool anti cancer bottle! As well as some names and bottles you'd struggle to find else where, Blanton's for example is an easy find here, even several choices of. The beer selection is vast and you can find some things you don't see elsewhere. Recently there is a really nice Warsteiner variety pack that is 5/5 as well. Long review from me, I had a lot to say after shopping here for a while. Since the lot opened, I am rarely at schnucks across the street and loving the simplicity and prices of shopping here instead. Thanks save on team for the great service

While I had a purpose, I still wanted to browse and see what options they have. They have a lot. Very nice and variety of beers, wine and more. The staff is so friendly and it's a really nice vibe. This will be my go to spot now. They also have a rewards program.

Went out there with a friend months before the mall closed to see everything still in there but closed. Neighbors in the mall said they opened when they felt like it. You're allowed to carry your own hours, but at least tell us what they are.

My husband and I showed up to The Neutral Zone on a Saturday evening for a date night. I had…read morepurchased a Living Social deal and was looking forward to something different for us to do. The Neutral Zone is located inside Chesterfield Mall. If you are not familiar with the mall, it's important to know that it no longer functions as a typical mall. There are a few businesses still there, mostly providing entertainment (movie theater, pickle ball, The Neutral Zone, etc.), but besides the Cheesecake Factory, you will not have other places to grab food, etc. while there. We arrived to the Neutral Zone, gave our voucher info at the front desk, and headed into the arcade. There are several retro games there to play (Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Frogger, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, racing games, Dance Dance Revolution, and more) as well as two skee ball lanes (only one was working at the time). My husband and I enjoyed playing some games from our childhood and competing with each other to see who could remember how to play what. :) We enjoyed ourselves while there and played all the games we wanted to, but we didn't stay more than an hour to an hour and a half at most -- which was fine with us, but if you were paying full price ($19.95) it would have been disappointing. All in all, I found it to be a fun evening but not something we would probably return to very often. For the retro gamers out there, check them out -- or give them a go for something different to do with your significant other.

I mainly joined The Pointe at Ballwin Commons because they participate in the OnePass gym…read moremembership through my health insurance and have water aerobics and other classes included at no additional charge. (They also participate in Silver Sneakers, if you have Medicare.) I really like the large indoor pool and enjoy the water classes. Of note, you do NOT automatically get access to the North Pointe Aquatic Center in Ballwin when you joint The Pointe at Ballwin Commons - there is a separate membership for the outdoor aquatic center. This is definitely a family-centered gym. There are tons of kids around. They are doing some renovations/upgrades of different areas at the time of this review. Currently, the interiors are a bit dull, not fancy like some other gyms. They have large basketball courts and pickleball open play times (no charge). There are swim lessons, open swim times and water walking in the lazy river (check the schedule so you aren't disappointed). There are also a ton of classes and programs with additional charges. There is a childcare area. The weight lifting areas and upstairs indoor track are kind of awkward in design, and not huge but you can get a workout in. The outside is nice. There are large free parking lots and a cute playground for children with picnic tables.

For the price, you can't beat it! I go there to use the cardio machines, such as elliptical and…read moretreadmill. Sometimes I use the weight machines. It's not too crowded so I've never had to wait for a machine. There's a track upstairs if you want to walk or run. Fitness classes are included with membership, which is such a great deal, but I haven't tried them yet. There's also plenty of parking, which I always appreciate. Checking in at the front desk is easy; you just scan your keychain and head in. I do wish there was more space to do your own HIIT, bodyweight workouts, and stretching. You can use the classroom if there's not a class going on, but it would be nice if there was a room open all the time.

A decent mall, a decent size but it has seen better days…read more With so many stores moving toward online business or being unable to compete with online ordering, there's not as mall culture here. You'll have more boutique and locally owned businesses, or the big Dillards, Sephora. They are building a Dick's Sporting Goods here and a ramen place! And I think this is the only place that has Cheesecake Factory, Savage by Fenty, and Lush. So, it's not bad! We've come here often enough that it's better than the malls closest to us and the outlet, imho. There's plenty of parking, but because of the construction, you'll want to park in certain areas.

Saint Louis Galleria gets sadder and sadder each time I shop. When I come, I am always shocked with…read morestores that have opened and closed. The variety of stores seem to be getting lower and poorer. The Galleria use to advertise, "Where the Best Stores put their Best Stores". Now when I stroll the mall, I'm lucky if I see a familiar branded store. I basically only come for two stores now. I shop the Apple Store, which I am surprised is still located in the mall. I would have expected them to depart to a strip center somewhere else in the metro area. The other store I frequent is Tommy Bahama, but I don't shop there as often as I use, too. I can now just go on line and have it shipped to my home. My most recent visit, I could see the wear and tear of the Galleria and a desperate need for repairs and maintenance. As long as Apple remains a tenant, I'll keep coming back.

Fun arcade bar with nostalgia for all ages!…read more There are 2 floors with multiple bars and arcade games of all decades throughout. There's also skeeball on both floors but we prefer playing the one on the lower level. Pinball machines are also on both levels. Tokens can be purchased at the bar or from one of the several token machines. UpDown has friendly bartenders and frequently has theme nights and seasonal cocktails to match the holiday or theme. You can order pizza at their pizza window and it is the only food they offer. The slices are huge though! During summer, it's fun to sit on the patio off the upstairs level. Been going to UpDown for years and it's always a good time for everyone!

Do not let that deter you. The space is much larger than it looks. There is an indoor bar and an outdoor bar with some table games and outdoor seating. There is a separate pick up window for snacks. They offer pizza by the slice, hot dogs and other goodies. The food is cheap and the pizza was solid for the price. The games require tokens which you can purchase at the bar. They have just about every game you could want! Even had a Super Nintendo set up, Dane Revolution, and my all time favorite skee ball!! My Zennial spirit was happy for this bit of nostalgia.

So - things just changed for me. The COVID shutdown illuminated things that I probably would have…read moreotherwise ignored or not noticed. I have been a 5-6 year client. It had become more apparent recently that this gym was very focused on gaining new membership, which was fine. One of the owners seemed solely focused on this (and money) to the point of always "doing business" during training hours and always talking about money. He had no interest in actually training people, which is what he used to do. There was definitely greed showing. There also seemed to be recent big box gym type tactics that try to lure in vulnerable people (15 lbs in 30 days or my money back!) This became a huge turn off to me. During COVID, the gym shut down. The prices (which are personal training type prices) did NOT CHANGE. I accepted it for about 6 weeks before finally feeling like it was a waste of money. At this point my husband and I were about $1k deep with no gym time. I was not using the online workout tools (you can find free apps everywhere) and videos on how to do a push up, etc. Upon finally asking about this and how the price would be adjusted, the response was defensive and coined as if coming from a script. They eventually said I could have "paused" the payments. Why couldn't this have been done at the beginning and why did I have to ask? So some people had their payments paused but not me? In summary, I think some of what's going on here is fine but I think the focus has really changed and they are money/client hungry (I once saw "be a millionaire" on a whiteboard goals list). The hours have shortened, the price has increased and it's also not like the place is full of nice new equipment (a lot of taped up, used, etc.). It was actually quite sad after all these years to leave but an owner thanked me for my "couple years" of being a client and off I go.
