    Cheesesteak sandwich
    Chris S.

    We are very happy we found the Rec Room since we hadn't eaten all day. We flew into St. Louis for a few days and everywhere we tried to eat was already closed. We lucked out and saw the Rec Room which was still serving food. It's a cozy bar experience with great food. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich which was full of thinly cut meat covered with peppers and mushrooms and covered with lots of cheese. I would definitely pick this bar for the atmosphere and the delicious food. We feel lucky we found the area Room and will be back soon. PS We thought it was so good we went back last night and had more delicious food. Two nights in a row.

    They have a small menu, but what they make is what I call, "better than it has to be bar food." Meaning we didn't come in to the bar to drink, we came into eat. It's warm cozy spot with a great patio when the weather is nicer. Sometimes the bar tenders get a little overwhelmed but will make sure once you get service.

    Cold beer!

This woman came into the room to check IDs and I was trying to leave the establishment and she YELLED in my face "ARE YOU OVER 21?" I calmly responded "I'm leaving," naturally thinking she would understand I would not be drinking (as I would not be at the establishment). Again she yelled in my face (for a 2nd time) "ARE YOU OVER 21?" Again I calmly responded "I am leaving," and I walked out of the room. As I was waiting for my ride she proceeded to say to the waiter "She's the only one who was under 21." I am over 21 but that's regardless of the point; I spent a lot of money (for me) for my friend's birthday to be there (even though I had to leave early) and there was no need for her to scream in my face when I did nothing to provoke her. Additionally, the TV's kept shutting down, and the WIFI/internet was bad entirely. This place needs new management because it is completely unprofessional.

    I'd been wanting to try this place for a while but since it's a bit out of the city and in the…read moresuburbs, I didn't walk in with super high expectations. I'm Korean and grew up with Korean food in Chicago, so I know what the real thing tastes like, and this is the real thing. I got the soondae stew and it completely hit the spot. The flavor profile was so authentic and satisfying!! Came out boiling still, so fresh. The banchan selection was great too and the waitress was really sweet about bringing more if you wanted. My only small note is that I wished the side dishes came out a little earlier rather than alongside the main food, because I was starving by the time everything arrived! But that's a minor thing. There's also a karaoke spot right next door that I heard gets pretty lively at night. I haven't made it over there yet but that is absolutely next on my list. 한동안 이곳에 가보고 싶었는데, 시내에서 좀 떨어진 외곽에 있다 보니 솔직히 기대를 크게 하지 않았어요. 그런데 깜짝 놀랐어요. 순대국을 시켰는데 정말 맛있었어요. 맛의 깊이가 딱 제가 찾던 그 느낌이었어요. 반찬 종류도 다양하고 좋았고, 웨이트리스분도 친절하게 더 가져다 주셔서 너무 좋았어요. 한 가지 아쉬운 점은 반찬이 메인 음식이랑 같이 나왔으면 하는 거예요. 너무 배고픈 상태였거든요 그래도 사소한 부분이에요. 바로 옆에 노래방도 있는데 밤에 꽤 활기차다고 들었어요. 아직 가보진 못했지만 다음엔 꼭 가볼 생각이에요.

We had a group of 7 and we ordered 4 dishes (each serving 2) and we had more than enough for at least 2 more people. The side dishes were pretty good. I was particularly happy they provide lettuce for wraps. A lot of places have stopped providing that. The drink menu was pretty good as well with several different options of soju, beer, and makoli. There are also karaoke rooms in back -- we didn't try them this time ... But maybe next time. Everyone left totally full and satisfied.

We arrived a little after 11 and found a space in the back parking lot. The lot is convenient as it's pretty well-lit and is diagonal from the CF. We entered through the back where the deck is and walked right in. Upon first glance, you'll notice the hanging lights above the entrance and then after a few feet, the bar is immediately to the right. The tables are all along the left side as to make a walkway for the bar (super convenient). Due it being their anniversary, it was a bit crowded but not too bad where you couldn't get a drink or walk through. My usual go-to is a flavored vodka (three olives grape) and sprite. While they had a plethora of spirits, sadly this wasn't one of them. They had other flavored vodkas but I opted to get a simple Cosmo while my friend got a makers and coke. The Cosmo was just what I needed and might I add, well made!After we got our drinks, we did a quick walk through of the other side called The Oddities (coming soon), as well as the upstairs that overlooks the entire place. The stairs are steep, so it would behoove you to hold on to the railing. While I love trying new places, I was a bit apprehensive because I thought I'd stick out like a sore thumb. Turns out, everyone was friendly, the drinks are great, and the music wasn't bad! They had different acts going on for this particular evening (I'm not sure if this is the norm), but I know my friend is a regular on Tuesday's for karaoke. I do intend to come back and try out some more drinks and food and check out the other place once it officially opens.

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.
