This is a small and very charming bar on Magnolia. I guess some would call this a dive bar. I…read morethink it's a gem. It's a bar that I'm sure neighbors frequent. The decor is great and I wished I had taken more pictures but they were busy. Drinks are not expensive at all. Lots of classic cocktails, good selection of beer. Want something to eat? There is a place right next door! All cash so bring money. Not sure if the food place is all cash. They have an ATM inside if you come without. Cheers P.S. the bartenders are so funny and nice. Tip them well!!

The BF and I stopped in after visiting Little Lucy. He noticed Purple Quarters on our drive through…read morethe Grove and thought it'd be a place I would like. I love that fact that they offer craft cocktails. The bar area is intimate and cozy. Since we just left from practically next door and enjoyed a plethora of cocktails. I couldn't drink any more nor did I want to. I follow them on IG to see what's the latest happenings and cocktail creations. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door with smiling faces. As soon as I walked in the door I was so excited for this game room because it's not typical. It's clean and intimate, like an upscale parlor. The bar is inviting and cute. The games are beyond reasonable. We love ski ball and it's located in the center of the game room against the wall with several attached, so you have to be crammed next to other patrons. Ski ball is only $0.50 a game and if you score high enough it automatically resets to give you another game. Where can you play ski ball this cheap. They also have pin ball games, arcade games, board games and more. We played several games of Connect Four-----CLASSIC. They have comedy night and karaoke in addition to gaming. We absolutely love this spot, can't wait to return.

From the second you step into the back room, it's pure nostalgia in the best, most chaotic, glittery way possible. The decor, the music, the drinks, the details, all of it is dialed all the way into early 2000s energy without feeling cheesy. It feels intentional, immersive, and ridiculously fun. The cocktails are creative and on theme, the playlist is nonstop hits you forgot you knew every word to, and the whole space feels like a Y2K house party you wish you got invited to back in the day. What really makes this pop up special is how committed they are to the experience. It's not just decorations on a wall. It's a full vibe. People are dressed up, taking photos, singing along, and fully leaning into the theme. You don't just grab a drink here, you participate. Perfect for girls night, birthday plans, or just doing something different that actually feels memorable. Huge shoutout to Hidden Gem for absolutely nailing this concept. Y2K Baby is easily one of the most fun themed pop ups I've been to in a long time.

Hidden Gems in St. Louis -- and darling, the name is not exaggerating…read more I had the absolute pleasure of attending a birthday celebration here and let me tell you... this place is a vibe, a moment, and a whole sparkling experience. The space is intimate, stylish, and perfectly appointed -- the kind of place that feels like you've stumbled into a secret little jewel box in the city. It's cozy in the best possible way, with an atmosphere that invites laughter, celebration, and maybe just a little fabulous mischief. The bartenders? Absolute pros. Warm, welcoming, and clearly masters of their craft. Naturally, I ordered my classic gin and tonic, and it was perfection in a glass -- crisp, balanced, and exactly what a proper G&T should be. I heard from the birthday boy and his wonderful wife that the owners were incredibly accommodating, and you could feel that hospitality throughout the entire evening. Everything felt effortless and welcoming -- the kind of place where people clearly care about creating a great night. And then... the party truly began. We had drag queens serving glamour and joy, music, laughter echoing through the room, and pizza delivered from the birthday boy's favorite local pizza spot that honestly deserves its own standing ovation. If you want to know where that pizza came from, drop a comment -- because it was outrageously good. By the end of the night I couldn't stop thinking: this place really is a Hidden Gem. A perfect little pocket of St. Louis where good drinks, great people, and a bit of fabulous chaos come together. Sparkle-tastic. Gem-tastic. Pure joy. Highly recommend discovering this hidden gem for yourself. -- Big Daddy Tedd Energy

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 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.

They have a nice selection of beers and spirits and since we didn't get pizza, we did get drinks. I was excited to see they carried the Three Olives brand, so I got my usual with grape vodka, sprite, and a lime. My boyfriend got the Citrapolis, which is an IPA beer. This is a chill, easy-going bar where you can come have a drink or several and enjoy the camaraderie of friends and strangers. Annie, the bartender had great energy and was super engaging. There's ample room, so you'll never have to worry about it being too crowded. My only criticism is they only have pizza, so if you're not in the mood for it you're def limited. I enjoyed my first visit and am sure I'll be back.
