    Halloween decor is wall to wall
    Erica S.

    A Halloween Themed Bar open 365 days a year? Hell yeah! I can't believe my Halloween loving heart didn't know about this place. It's a dive bar located in Dutchtown that's perfect to stop in for pool, karaoke or drinks.

    There are many reasons to enjoy The Haunt, but I'd like to highlight a few in particular. The crowd is always fun, but polite and never too rowdy. The decorations and motif always give you something interesting to look at. The service, albeit a little slow compared to bars in more upscale areas, is always friendly and welcoming. I brought a friend with pretty particular taste in beverages here and our bartender, Angie, was as patient and sweet as could be; in fact, she helped to concoct a drink that said friend loved! The digital jukebox they have allows you to use your smart phone to pick any ol' tune you feel like drinking and dancing to. The food is a great note to end a night of drinking to as well; we enjoyed the veggie pizza, which was yummy, filling, and hit the spot. All of the drinks, food, tunes, and ambiance come at a great price, too!

    Halloween themed dive bar filled with locals.  Easy parking and cheap drinks.  Eclectic place with usual offerings.

    *Cash only! Buuuut worth it*…read more I was in Saint Louis for one (1) night recently in early autumn, and my pal, STL Yelp Community Manager Max R, suggested our group meet here for a queer dance party on a Saturday night. UMMMM, YES PLEASE. My boyfriend and I showed up around 10:30 and were ecstatic to find how low-key and unique the place was, and knowing how inclusive it is makes it all the more badass. He grabbed us each a can of Hamm's, because when in Rome, and we headed out to the back area to meet our friends. This was where I became truly invested. Livery Company has a fabulous outdoor space, and when I say "fabulous," I mean it feels like you're hanging out in someone's backyard, except you are at a bar. It was about 55-60 degrees on this particular Saturday, so pretty chilly, but we still very much enjoyed ourselves around the big bonfire that was burning, because we were surrounded by both people we knew, and people who were welcoming even though we were new. The entire vibe of Livery Company is divey-inclusive-comforting, and I think that's the highest compliment I can give. I'm SO glad we were invited to this particular space during a very quick trip to STL. Thank you for existing, Livery Company.

    Quintessential Dive Bar!…read more When you look up South City Dive Bar on Google, Livery Company on South Broadway should be the first one on the list. Everything about it makes it the quintessential South City dive bar. Emily Ebeling has been a city business owner for quite some time. She first opened Livery Company on Cherokee Street, and her clientele grew quickly. Years after she closed that location, the South Broadway has just as much appeal as its predecessor. Cheap bar and unique music. What else can you ask for? LC hosts artists from different genres, but mostly singer-songwriters. They have a monthly songwriters showcase where local musicians share brand new works. I have met some very cool people and now have more talented friends than ever, all because of Livery's commitment to local artists. And the beer is cheap. Yes, they had me at cheap beer. You can get domestic cans for two dollars each, and many of the craft beers are four dollars. I can drink all night on less than a twenty dollar bill. That has dive bar written all over it. And cash only. I am a huge fan. Establishments that welcome diversity and celebrate local talent are well-appreciate. Cheers to Livery Company!

    Iowa Buffet has been on my Yelp Bookmarks, for many years and I've finally visited. Let me begin by…read moretelling you it is definitely not in Iowa. It's not even on Iowa Avenue, it's at the corner of Iowa and Winnebago. Also, it's not a buffet. Its name is all a lie. What it truly is, is a diehard dive bar. If Bette Davis walked in she'd say, "What a dump." The decor is totally tacky and that is part of its charm. Another part of its charm is the welcoming atmosphere. When we entered not only did the bartender say, but so did a couple of the guest already seated at the bar. When reading the menu for your first time, you'll be shocked at low-low prices. Our plan was to have cheeseburgers and fries, but once we saw the pricing, we added wings as an appetizer. We had our wings, plain with Bleu Cheese for dipping. We received 6 pieces, 3 flats and 3 drums. I like it when the chicken pieces are the same quantity. They were super crispy and seasoned with only pepper and salt. I built my own cheeseburger. As my cheese, I chose Pepper Jack and added raw onion and jalapeños as garnishes. To make it perfect, all I had to add was ketchup and mustard. My dining partner enjoyed a Hank Burger, but changed the cheese from American to Pepper Jack. We both gave our burgers a thumbs up. Our adult beverage was Vodka and Club Soda. When the bartender brought us our drinks, at first we thought they were glasses of water. Yep, the cocktails were made in huge water glasses and they were strong. It's exactly what I'd expect from a dive bar. If you're on a tight budget and want to out, head over to Iowa Buffet for a budget friendly fun time. Good food and strong cocktails on the cheap.

    Another fun party at Small Change!…read more Happy Tiki Birthday to Jamie and Bill! I love the cocktail creations that include the Big O Liquor, this year I enjoyed the Back Breaker and the Big O-Spresso Martini. The Back Breaker was refreshing with the different fruit flavors and had a cute pineapple swizzle stick. The Big O-Spresso was very rich with lots of cream, yum Good Strangers was there proving Tiki inspired tacos, I tried both the chicken and the brisket and both were great but the chicken was the winner for me, that slaw was such a great addition! Order at the bar or with a waitress, everyone is having a great time decked out in Tiki gear and the bar full of lots of props. Always a good time!

    What a sweet spot to grab a drink and enjoy some good company…read more Stopped in for a night cap with a friend. The place is steeped in pride for both STL and LGBTQ+ community. The bartenders were awesome. We walked up to the bar and both bartenders got things rolling for us quickly. They have a really solid menu as well. They have some wildly unique cocktail options that blend dive bar ingredients with a craft cocktail approach. The vibes were great. The back patio was super nice and a great spot to just relax. I got a gimlet which was beautiful. Slightly tart, with just enough sweetness to balance it all out. There are not many things on this planet better than getting a damn good cocktail at a dive bar.
