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 inside was long and narrow and the artificial greens all around gave it a cozy vibe. 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 small snack menu offering things like mixed nuts, bacon wrapped dates, and deviled eggs. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026

When we do go, as we did earlier this week, O'Connell's is one of the first stops we make. It still has the feel of a genuine Irish pub which we love. The service was impeccable, as always, and the food was wonderful, as always! My wife, our sister in law, and I had the roast beef sandwiches with a side of fried mushrooms, our nephews had hamburgers, some of the best in St. Louis, the Guiness was cold. This is a St. Louis institution, and we are so glad they survived the bridge construction issue that did so much harm to their business. If you have not been to O'Connell's, and if you have a love for Irish pubs, treat yourself to a wonderful experience!

The furniture and decor is all classic college town wood; wooden chairs, wooden tables, beer and alcohol posters everywhere. There are unique elevations and large steps so be watchful if you're clumsy or prone to tripping. The climate inside was nice and all of a sudden got very chilly -- we opted to move to an outside table. There is a stage outside so live entertainment must be common there. Our waitress, Sophie, was kind and attentive. The only thing I would have preferred was more transparency on our bill. Items we added weren't listed out, making it seem like we were being overcharged. The groups continued to get larger and larger as the evening went on but our food and other requests were delivered very quickly.

We went in for a late lunch on Saturday. The place was nearly empty -- only two other tables were…read moreoccupied, and we were the third. Despite that, the other tables seemed to receive constant attention while our waitress disappeared for long stretches of time. We were initially seated in the side room with a large industrial fan blowing so hard that it was moving the menus off the table. We waited for the waitress to return so we could request a different table, but she never came back, so we moved ourselves to another empty table away from the fan. She seemed unhappy about the move and told us we might have to relocate again because they were expecting a busy day. Honestly, the restaurant was empty, and we would have been finished long before any rush started -- which we were. I asked for ketchup with my burger, and it didn't arrive until after I had already finished eating. Overall, the service was very poor. Unfortunately, the food was also extremely salty -- and we're people who normally enjoy salt. I had the Farmhouse Burger with Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese, while my wife ordered the steak and fries cooked medium well. The steak came out medium rare, and both her fries and my burger and Brussels sprouts were overly salted. The one bright spot was the mac and cheese, which we took to go. My daughter tried some and said it was the best she'd ever had. To top it off, our bill came to an even $100 with tip, and all we had were waters and the items mentioned above. We had been wanting to try Retreat for quite a while, so this experience was very disappointing. Between the poor service and underwhelming food, we probably won't be coming back.

We loved how they had the garage door open for the air to come in on the nice day. The bar / high top are had plenty of space and was very comfortable. They had a great happy hour around 3pm, both our appetizers were on the happy hour menu, as well as our Pinot Grigio drinks. The food was excellent, we had focaccia bread, and fried calamaris. We didn't have them but the wagu sliders and chicken lollipops both were popular at the other table. We also got a white chocolate tiramisu to go that was fantastic. Great bread = Great dessert Really appreciated our waitress / bartender that day, she said she had four grown kids of her own, as well as appreciated the rest of the staff. Thank you for a great meal and service! See you again soon

I made a reservation ahead of time and when we arrived, our table was ready and our server was quick to bring over water and make some recommendations on apps. None of us were drinking cocktails that night, but we did order some tea and sodas along with an order of arancini and an order of the chicken lollipops! Once our apps were brought over, we talked with our server a bit about entree recommendations and with his help, we all were quite happy with the decisions we made and we knew that we could share with one another so that we could all try multiple dishes! The apps were so good, I loved the arancini so much and enjoyed the sauces for dipping. And the chicken lollipops were so unique. Crunchy on the outside and juicy inside. Basically, chicken wings, but the presentation was so unique. When our meals arrived, everything looked so good and fresh. The pasta was perfect and the greens were fresh. The salmon was cooked just right. Everything was just lovely and the flavors were top notch! While we did not finish everything, it was nice to be able to pack some leftovers and reheating them did not mess up any of the flavors. All in all, this was a great spot for dinner and I am going to visit again soon.

One of the coolest touches is the large display of vinyl records, it adds a ton of character and gives the whole place a unique, almost nostalgic energy. We didn't try the food this time since we just stopped in for drinks, but it's definitely on the list for next visit. Looking forward to coming back and spending more time enjoying this gem of a spot.

But the bartender was quick and the food, mac and cheese, came out in no time. The winter sangria was a serious drink. Not a punchy, fruity sangria. This was a winey sangria.

I felt so cozy here... It made for one of my preferred eating out in the city in winter experiences.
