Came to enjoy happy hour drinks and snacks! Everything was delicious. Salted fries, Hummus, Amaro Daiquiri and the Icelandic Pear. The service was slow because there was one bartender to pump out drinks for the restaurant and she was also taking orders. There was a server that appeared new to the job and the way she was being treated to where you could feel the tension and hear the bartender openly say "Oh she took your food order? Communication, WHATS THAT??" So unprofessional and rude. The team needs clear boundaries or assigned tables in the dining area to limit friction. Other than that awkward experience, I enjoyed my time. read more

The drinks are just incredible here. I've heard so many people say they don't like gin, but I guarantee they would like the cocktails here. They are also thoughtfully crafted and unique. The owner, Natasha, is one of the nicest people I know and she's a big deal in the world of gin! We loved all Of the food too- lamb biryani, hummus and chicken kabobs. They have a cute lounge area with comfy chairs, a tiny room and a really nice patio area. Highly recommend! read more

I came here randomly Saturday night with some friends as we made it our first stop of the night. I was excited because the last time I was here, it was still Salve Osteria. Although no one in my party were big gin drinkers, we were willing to give it a try. We sat at the bar and were greeted by the owner, Natasha. After chatting for a bit, she gave us her recommendations based on our preferences. She suggested the Icelandic Pear for me and the Great Minds Think Alike for my friend. My drink blew me away. For not being a gin drinker prior to coming in, it def changed my opinion! It was mixed incredibly well, but it was light and refreshing, not heavy which I assumed it would be. Additionally, it's rare for me to see a pear drink, so it was a nice change. As for my friend's drink, I don't remember all the ingredients, but I know it had cardamom, and it was incredible. Again, another gin-based drink that didn't taste anything like gin because it was mixed so well and all the flavors complemented each other. Since we arrived pretty late, the kitchen was already closed, so we didn't get to try any food. Some of the items on the menu look pretty tasty, so I hope next time we'll get there earlier to try the food and some different drinks. read more

Some of the best lamb dishes in St. Louis. Food: The food here was excellent. The lamb biryani was top notch. The Gormeh sabzi was very good. The lamb for both was so tender and not dry at all. The chicken skewer was good but I preferred the other dishes. I would 100% get a lamb dish if I come back, which I would love to. Service: great service, everyone was very nice. Ambience: the vibe in here is maybe the best part (along with the lamb). The art and lighting style make an incredible ambiance. read more

We were in the area and someone recommended this place for a bite to eat. We came in without a reservation and they were able to seat us right away. The vibe is chill, relaxed, and elevated. We were blown away at all the different gins they have and the cocktails they make with them! We ordered a few drinks and some food, we were impressed with both! If you haven't been here, add this place to your list! read more

The Gin Room is a great place to enjoy cocktails and bites with friends especially out on the patio in warm weather. We just got one round of cocktails on this occasion but we were there for a long time as it seemed that there was one person serving the patio at that time. She did apologize a lot for the wait to order and also to get our checks at the end of the night. The drinks we had were so beautiful and expertly crafted so they were well worth the wait. read more

I loved the previous iteration in this space (Salve Osteria). However, I think The Gin Room is even better. I have a personal preference for middle Eastern food and for meats and vegetables over carbs. Every dish was perfect and if they were located closer to home, I would be a regular. Waitstaff are friendly and professional. read more

As a gin girlie, the Gin Room is my favorite cocktail spot in town. The patio feels intimate and quaint, and the seating inside is really nice too, esp if it's too hot in the summer to enjoy being outside. I've always had great, friendly servers, and the drinks are always great. Every time I get the Icelandic Pear off their Classics menu, and then try something new and have never been disappointed. read more

The Gin Room is the best place to get amazing food and such crafty but delicious gin cocktails. I personally love gin and a place designated for it, down the road from me, was a dream come true. The people are always so welcoming and friendly - workers and other customers. Our server was incredibly informative and nice- she had great suggestions. The patio was so lovely to sit on and have an amazing gin old fashioned and some smaller bites. Their drinks are unique and as a craft cocktail maker/bartender myself, the ideas are so cool, tasty and well executed. Natasha is such an intelligent and talented human, she truly knows what she's doing here. I also have been to the amaro tasting class she had awhile back and it was so fun and educational. Saint Louis is lucky to have a great place like this. read more

A friend recommended this place and we had to try it...so glad we did! So many different gin cocktails it was hard to choose, but each tried two different drinks and all were delish! Really enjoyed all the food we shared too. We're going back in a few days and brining friends!! If you haven't been there, what are you waiting for?? read more

So many fun and creative gin drinks. Definitely recommend the Icelandic pear. We stayed for dinner and I enjoyed the steak kabob.

Great gin experience with great food and when we get to see Natasha it's a bonus. The bevs, food and ambiance are great!

I gotta be honest, the cocktails are still very good here, but the service is no where near what it use to be. A friend and I stopped by for Happy Hour before attending a Earth Day event near by. We were seated at the bar and after looking at the main menu, we had to request a HH menu. It was as if they did not want us to order from that menu. If you're there before 5 PM, ask for the HH menu, the variety and pricing is well worth it. My friend enjoy a Dirty Mini -Tini and I had my favorite cocktail, a Manhattan from that special HH menu and they were stellar. We also share a small Meat and Cheese Plate for grazing. I wanted a second drink, so I tried a, Dry Rye Gin Old Fashioned and it was outstanding. It was smooth and totally refreshing. I am a huge fan of a traditional Old Fashioned and this one made with Gin was a nice twist. I'm taking a star away, because of their service. There was minimal interaction with the staff. When we wanted to order, we had to get their attention. The staff, while we were there seemed to be more interested in talking to each other at the end of the bar instead of attending to their guest. read more

Have you ever met Natasha? She's gotta be the nicest, most welcoming, and gracious restaurant owner in the world! Anytime we walk in, we're met with smiles and hugs and questions of how we're doing! It's almost like you're walking into Natasha's house. I've been going to The Gin Room for a minute and we frequented Cafe Natasha (Salve) in college (2001-2005). I just aged myself. Also Natasha. What a bad ass. Do you understand what she's done for the Midwest Gin Scene? It's incredible! She offers over 300 types of gin at her establishment and throws "Ginworld" a huge gin exhibition every year in St. Louis! We recently attended one of Natasha's pop-up collaborations with Saigon Café and Mixed By Eddie. It was incredible. Thank you for those amazing veggie spring rolls. Can't wait for more popup collaborations! Excited for this. read more

Absolutely top notch dinner experience with fantastic Italian food, amazingly fine-crafted cocktails, a seemingly limitless supply of gin options, and great servers! We came here before a concert. Reservations were easy to book ahead of time. We were promptly seated and greeted by a very friendly staff member and eventually the waitress. Received excellent advice on the drink options which were plentiful. A couple staff members and a waiter were at our table many times throughout the evening making us feel well attended to and welcomed! A couple people at our table are not huge gin fans, however, the server and the owner provided some excellent advice on different drinks that we ended up enjoying thoroughly. Be sure and ask for suggestions! What we drank and ate: - makati district Negroni (4.5/5): This was one of the best Negroni I've ever had! - aviator (4.5/5): nailed it! - Lucano amaro: (4/5): this was a really nice amaro! - Cynar amaro "sour" (5/5): ask for an Amaro sour, which is Amaro, shaken with ice, lemon, and simple syrup. It really opens up the flavors and taste amazing! - Burrata appetizer (4/5): Fresh, tasty, absolutely yummy! - fried green tomatoes (5/5): this was a special appetizer, and it was absolutely amazing! These are the best fried green tomatoes that I've had sense I have moved to St. Louis from Virginia. - basil tagliatelle (4.5/5): very fresh pasta, tasty sauce, cook perfectly. Added the garlic shrimp, which was also amazing! - Beef cheek ravioli (5/5): this just taste exquisite! Very flavorful sauce, with raviolis that were executed perfectly. - scallops (5/5): these were cooked masterfully . The risotto was the bomb! - tiramisu (4/5) The atmosphere of the gin bar and the restaurant was very laid-back, but elegant in its own way. It is not a very large place, but there are many tables giving it a bit of a cozy feeling. read more

Finally got a chance to try this gem and wasn't disappointed. This was recommended by my date, and I'm so glad we ended up here. We had a reservation and was immediately taken to our table once we arrived. It took me a minute to figure out what I wanted to drink because it was a lot of options. I settled on the "Val Got Gussied Up" interesting drink name, but it was good, and I'm glad our server recommended it. We started with the meatballs, and they were seasoned well. If you like gin, this is the place to be. My date ordered the short rib with yams, and I ordered the Mafalda, and it was delicious. We ended up getting two desserts at the end, and I had the cannoli cheecake and it was rich in flavor. I love this place, and it seems they change their menu often. The dining area, when you first come into the building, the chairs are so comfortable. If you're looking for something new to try, I would recommend this place. Until next time... read more

We came for the gin, and fell in love with the food! Every single thing we ordered was exquisite! We both enjoyed some amazing seasonal gin cocktails, then Sean our waiter recommended the burrata salad which was so far and above any burrata I have had - the perfect summer salad with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and basil foam with little crispy Parmesan bits on the top! Then the meatballs and agnolotti were insanely good, and finally the pork chop with the figs, (!) braised fennel, hen of the woods mushroom and cider sauce. And our absolute favorite was the cannoli cheesecake which had a caramelized sugar crust- light and fluffy and amazing! Would go every day if we could. And the patio was so romantic - and GM was so gracious. Loved this place. read more

We really wanted to enjoy our time here. But their service, website and policies need to be updated for better customer service. We, 3 of us came here on a friday night around 8pm. This place is very small, couple of tables at the bar area. That is it. Dining area is slightly bigger. We didn't know we needed reservation for the bar part. So they put us in dining room area. It took less than 5 minutes which was good. The Greeter was nice. After we got our table, our server either hated her job or us. It is not our problem though. She needs to be nice to everyone, we were just there, trying to support this local business. She had that negative attitude, we didn't enjoy how she treated us. We didn't do anything but just trying to place an order. We waited so long to order some food after having overpriced gins with lots of ice cubes in. (Basically, paid $13 for ice cubes) Our server was standing in the corner, not checking on us every once in a while which she supposed to do. We had to wave many times to grab her attention. It is a busy night, she needs to be alerted. Instead, someone at a bigger table looked at her and she didn't miss that. It was really frustrating to watch all her acts. We were about to order dinner but didn't enjoy our time here and their service was so slow because of our waitress, so, just ordered their Charcuterie Board, as a snack. Nothing special, was just ok. *IMPORTANT*:: We wanted to order Gin Flights. Our waitress said we need to make a reservation for that, so they can call the "special bartender" to prepare the Gin Flights. *IMPORTANT*:: When you call this place, you can't make a reservation. Only way is using their poorly designed website. If the party is more than 5 people, need to pay $10 deposit per each person. And not sure how, but let them know you want Gin Flights, so you make sure that special bartender will be there and you will get Gin Flights. read more

This was our first time at The Gin Room and we had a really great experience! We arrived around 8:30PM and we were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and attentive. The low lighting with the wall of gin made for a romantic drink spot. The music was incredible too, all of my top choices of indie and alternative music. We didn't have any of the food on the menu but the options looks diverse. For drinks, if you like mojitos you should have the Summer Garden G&T (not pictured). The Mediterranean Night is great for fruity and sour tastes. Would definitely recommend for a romantic evening or date night! read more

The Gin Room at Salve, located on Grand Ave in Tower Grove South, is a must for anyone that enjoys gin-based cocktails. They also offer non-gin options and have a food menu (Salve restaurant). The indoor dining area offers a twist on prohibition art and decor. However, the patio area is the actual show stopper and is a large-sized patio with plenty of outdoor seating, which can be hard to find in the St. Louis metro area. If you are looking for a drink special, you can opt to sit at a table in Aperol Alley, which is located on the sidewalk outside of the entrance. Aperol Alley offers $5 Aperol spritzes any time of the day, any day of the week. Don't let the price fool you; the quality of this Aperol spritz is still as high as the full-priced cocktails. read more

Stopped by last night for dinner and to explore the gin selection. Server let us know that they were short staffed and thanked us in advance for our patience. Not an issue, everyone seems to be having trouble keeping enough staff right now. Food was very good, but the service was not great. We ordered an appetizer (feta/walnut spread) and had to grab silverware off of another table because the server forgot to bring any. Had to ask a couple of times about getting a refill on water. We're never asked by our server if we wanted anything other than that to drink. We got dessert (try the Persian ice cream!) we paid the bill and went and sat at the bar to get a gin flight. And the energy and service there was like a different place all together. They were talkative, attentive and actually seemed like they wanted to be there. We had 3 different people talk to us about the 5 different gins that we tried, taught us about the process of distilling it and more. A 100% different experience than the dining staff. A cute place for date night, but best for appetizers and drinks at the bar. read more

Finally made it to the Gin Room, and after our first visit we will most definitely be rushing back! The space is absolutely beautiful. The bar, and all the bottles quite a spectacular sight. As it's name would imply, most definitely the go to spot for gin inspired cocktails. Everything we had was absolutely delicious! The "gosh darn Leonard, that's tasty" and the "grass is greener" were both fantastic. The "Apple a day" however, for me stole the show. The staff is all absolutely fantastic here as well. Everyone was so very inviting, and friendly which made the experience that much better. We can't wait to get back here back for food! read more

As a gin drink lover, so glad that I finally made it to the Gin Room. Smaller space inside than expected but had a nice feel to it. The chairs were very comfortable to sit in but were little bulky for the space and a little unwieldy to get in and out of.Extensive gin cocktail list! I had The Grumpy Pilot and Summer Garden G&T. Both were tasty but the Grumpy Pilot was definitely the fave of the night amongst me and my companions. We shared some small plates, the bruschetta, Salve Caesar, the cheese plate, and tiramisu for dessert. I would definitely order all the small plates again but would probably skip the tiramisu. Our server checked back often and the hostess noticed that the sunlight hit an uncomfortable angle and lowered the shade without me even asking which was really nice because I probably wouldn't have thought to ask. Would definitely go back. read more

So I wasn't much of a gin person until visiting The Gin Room in St. Louis. Beautiful craft cocktails and culinary delights that paired well, top-notch ingredients, made with love and care. The gin cocktails in particular are delicious creations, developed with creativity and a complexity, but not over the top. In LA, these are $30 cocktails... it felt like I was getting top shelf foodie cocktails at half the price. At the moment, I can't remember our servers name regrettably, but she made thoughtful recommendations, was kind and had great energy, a lovely experience really. Recommend++ read more
