It was a good arrangement, and we had plenty of room. Our server was Shannon and she was fabulous! She was attentive, friendly, put up with all of our orders and generally made sure we had what we needed while we were there. I would give her 5 stars on her own, she was great. I ordered the Sugar Plum Fizz, and it looked nice enough, but it really just tasted like seltzer and not much else. I didn't drink it after the first two drinks. For food, I got a cup of chili and a half Italian salad. I asked for no cheese on the salad. The chili was ok, I ate it and the salad, but both were just ehh. It was a group get together and we had fun and the service was superb!

We got the Schottzie's Deluxe pizza (Pepperoni, sausage, bacon, ground beef, black olives, mushrooms, green peppers and onions). It was really good. It was baked to a perfect golden brown. There were ample toppings on every piece. The sauce was sweet, but not too sweet. I'd get it again.

We used our St Louis Pizza Passport to get 1/2 off on any pizza. We chose the 16" Supreme which is loaded with toppings. We also got St Louis style which is thin crust. Provel cheese is the default. However, you can order Mozzarella if that is your preference. The pizza sauce is a little different here. It has a little bit of a bbq sauce taste. Not my thing...but, still made a great overall pizza. It appeared there were only two waitresses working the full floor but they knew what they were doing and hustling to serve all their tables.

You won't find this place unless you're a local or know someone. A small hockey themed bar inside a…read morehistoric house near Kirkwood Park. A one of a kind dive bar that is great for Blues games. Originally a filling station in 1904, it converted into a tavern in the 1930's. Grandfathered with local liquor licensing, TGI almost went extinct in 2010 when longtime owner Frank Rodman passed away (RIP). In 2012 it was purchased by former Blues hockey player Jim Campbell and his wife, Jennifer (a Kirkwood native), who did a thorough refresh and renovation. Jennifer's great uncle actually owned the tavern earlier in the 1960s, so it was a natural return to the family. They have a full bar with reasonably priced drinks. Didn't see a food menu (need to confirm cause looks like maybe they used to) but bar snacks (pretzels and chips). Someone ordered pizza delivered which seemed like a good option. The vibe is like you are inside a house, with couches and a fireplace. They have a small back patio to enjoy nice weather and they do allow smoking outside. For games, there's Golden Tee, a jukebox, and steel tip dart board (which was kinda blocked by Golden Tee). If you happen to be in Kirkwood and feeling thirsty, check it out. I'll definitely be back to watch more Blues Hockey!

Discovered this dive bar during the World Cup games. The inconsistencies in decor/vibe throughout…read morethe place makes sense later knowing the bar was on Bar Rescue around 2024/2025. We had a good time playing pool and there was a male bartender making our first drinks that was very friendly and conversational. The female bartender made our second round of drinks and was more standoffish as if we didn't fit the "dive bar scene" since we were dressed up a bit. We enjoyed a couple rounds of pool and watching the World Cup game then we left before karaoke was about to start. Bar itself has plenty of seating and nice lighting for the bottles. After learning the story about the owner and the bar, I'm very happy this place is still open but I don't think we'll be back.

We visited The Fireplace Bar for Friday night karaoke. This is a dive bar, in a good way. There are…read morepool tables and darts. It was very loud when we visited, not because of the karaoke, so it was a bit difficult to speak with the bartenders. I guess people were having a good time! There are lots of drink choices at reasonable prices. There is also food, which I didn't try. For the karaoke, you go up to the KJ get into the queue, and then add your songs across the evening for each of your turns. There was quite a variety being sung. You sing in front of the fireplace. There is a little bit of room to dance around the edges but not much. Despite being a "nonsmoking" bar, there were patrons vaping indoors and there was a cigarette smell inside (perhaps wafting in from the smokers outside?). The ladies bathroom was very clean. There is free parking outside in their attached lot, but you might have to get creative if you get there later in the night, as the lot gets crowded. This bar has a fun vibe for your friend group to go blow off some steam, but probably not a good place to take a first date.

I ordered buffalo chicken tenders. They were SO raw that they looked like a buffalo raw chicken sushi roll. I still had to pay for, because of "inventory." They said they had to charge me, because they threw away my old food and had to charge me for the new food they put on my plate. But they didn't throw away my old undercooked food!! They threw my food in the microwave, overcooked it, then gave it back. But thanks for the one free drink I got because of it, though!

They have a small lunch menu with items like burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot ham and cheese, and Italian subs. I chose cottage cheese as my side which I always choose if it's on the menu but next time I might try the fries just to check them out. This appears to be an established neighborhood bar with no frills, but exactly what you'd expect from a well loved spot that probably hasn't changed in decades. I preferred to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the sunshine, especially since the interior bar area reeks of cigarette smoke. I have no idea if they allow smoking inside or if that's a lingering scent from years past. Service was good and the staff are friendly. I would come again and sit on the patio. That burger was so juicy & cooked perfectly!

When the arrived at 5pm, the place was already getting busy and by 5:15, every inside table was packed. Mondays are something here, with $2 domestic bottled beers and $10 for ten wings. The kitchen was struggling to keep up! When the wings arrived, they were hot and delicious. FBAG is big on "trashed wings" which apparently means that they are fried, sauced, fried AGAIN and sauced again. It makes for a different flavor and they were terrific. The wings were meaty and quite enjoyable, not smothered in sauce. A really neat hangout and I very much enjoyed the time. Well worth a return visit!

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed. Sports fans watching football on the many screens provided and people just gathering for trashed wings and beer. Sometimes simplicity equals comfort. That's how you'll feel, especially if Chuck the owner is checking in with everyone to make sure the food is good and they are having a good time. The menu is huge with a lot of options, but they are known for their trashed wings (be patient they take a little time to prepare). The fried green beans are so good and salads are huge and delicious. Everyone can find a favorite here. The vibe is local fun. Nothing fancy, nor needed. With a great staff you feel welcome to sit in the various areas inside at the bar, on the enclosed patio, or the outside seating weather permitting. Live bands in the summer- check the website. Great for families! Be prepared to be patient with the service. They do their best, but sometimes the food takes a while to come out of the kitchen.
