Intertwine Wine Bar is such a BEAUTIFUL wine bar located in the heart of Dutchtown. The staff is…read moresweet, the music is great, the drinks are affordable, and the patrons are welcoming. You can tell the owners, Tasha and Chip, take great pride in their business based on how thorough the service is and the curated atmosphere. Our waiter was so good at checking on me and my group and clearing our table of trash. I love that attention to detail. Speaking of love, right now they are showcasing their holiday pop-up decorations, which are so cute! I would go to visit them just for that alone. I highly recommend visiting Intertwine Wine Bar if you are looking for a low-key spot to grab a drink and socialize... and on Wednesdays they have Karaoke!

The inside is so warm and cozy. We sat at a table in the back, and it was very private and secluded in our corner. The owner said the beautiful table we were sitting at was hand-made. We also took a peek at the back patio, and I seriously can't wait to visit this spring and summer once it's nice and warm outside! The string lights out there were absolute perfection. We tried different wines and mixed drinks. The owner was so helpful and answered all our questions about the menu. I also love that they offer a seasonal menu. All of the food sounded so good, too. We totally would've ordered some if we hadn't just eaten a large meal beforehand. Guess that means I'll have to try some next time I'm back! I'm already planning my next visit. This is truly a special place!

Decided to snag a last minute, late night reservation for Aperi on a random Wednesday night and…read morewow, what an amazing experience it was. The vibe is very dark & intimate. The dining room only seats maybe 18-20 people. Despite the small size, it still felt cozy and welcoming. We had just eaten dinner a few hours ago, so we were just looking for small plates. After picking our server's brain on a few options, we decided on the Beef Tartare & the Charred Octopus. The chips & tartare were solid, but not the best I've ever had. The charred octopus, though, was a huge surprise. I went into this not having eaten octopus is YEARS, so I wasn't sure that I would even like it. But the tasteful sauce, the crunchy yet soft potato, & the chili just went so incredibly well together. We were both very surprised with how good it was. As for the wine, the selection is quite small but still very good. I wasn't sure what wine to order and our server was super helpful in making a choice that I was not disappointed with. If you don't drink wine or aren't open to drier wines, you may not find one you like. We didn't try any of the cocktails, but I heard a few people talking about how good they were. All that being said, Aperi really feels like one of those special little places with amazing food, incredible service, and a cozy, unique vibe. I would definitely recommend anyone who is on the fence to give Aperi a shot, you won't be disappointed!

The lady that took care of us was so nice and went out of her way to accommodate na requests. The music playlist was also so good. Every single thing that i tried was amazing. The papas bravas were probably my favorite because of the ingredients in the sauce. Ive never had anything like it. The ricotta bread was also delicious and had a kick. My only non perfect rating would have to be the chorizo. The apple sauce with the chorizo felt like an odd pairing. Wish there was a third item in that dish that brought it together. The drinks were also amazing.

I read a review about their potato pancakes, and I was sad when I didn't find them on the menu and I asked the woman and she said she only had one order left, so we took it and we had a California style. It was a thin potato pancake with cream cheese, smooth salmon, capers, and pickled onions and some fresh thinly sliced cucumber. It was quite delicious We each had a glass of white wine, and their wine is a very decent pour out a very reasonable price. And we had a oaky Chardonnay. The price is $10 a glass or $40 for the bottle. She said each bottle has four glasses of wine, so you don't save any money buying the whole bottle She let us taste the wine before she poured it, which was very nice for only getting the glass Unfortunately, we had a late lunch, so we didn't get to try out any more of the food, but everything on their special board looked delicious Would definitely come back if we're in the area

It was not busy when we went so our server had all attention on us. We had prompt refills and regular check ins. Overall, an awesome spot to grab a chill glass of wine with a friend :)

When she came back around, we both got the Violet letter (mezcal, crème de violet, citrus, and lemon. Here's where things took a turn.... For two drinks and with no exaggeration, it took well over a half-hour if not longer to get them. Minute after minute passed by where we watched the other tables get their drinks and we had to wait forever and a day for ours. By the time we got ours, I wasn't even in the mood. Of course it didn't help that the kitchen was closed, so we had no food to go with it. The drink itself was smoky, so smoky that it overpowered the rest of the ingredients in the drink, although I tasted hints of violet. Overall, the experience could have been better. I'm willing to give this place another shot, but maybe at a different time when it's not so busy.

The wine selection was pretty solid, and they also had a great variety of beers. I didn't try the beer myself, but my guest really enjoyed theirs.

While we didn't order food, everything coming out to nearby tables looked amazing. If you're looking for a mature, laid-back spot to unwind, Winnie's is definitely worth checking out. We'll definitely be back!

First time we came here our company reserved the back room for dinner- it was excellent! So my 3…read moreco-workers and I decided to come back the very next time we were in town. Six pm on a Tuesday, the bar was not busy. We asked server if we could sit at a table that had not been cleared since all the other tables in the area had "reserved" signs on them. The server told us "you can when I get to clearing it" so we sat at the bar understanding that it wasn't going to be any time soon. Fine, no big deal. The bartender wasn't too friendly, but again not a big deal- until the last person ordering asked for a chocolate martini. Nope. He couldn't do it- something about it wouldn't be good, then that he didn't have the ingredients. Fair enough but his delivery was super rude. The person ordering doesn't drink much else, so looked at the menu and settled on a modified espresso martini. Everyone else was drinking wine- all was good. We let him know we were going to be splitting the bill 4 ways. He came back and we ordered 4 small plates to share to start- but forgot to ask for fries- we tried 3 times to get his attention- fourth time was the charm when he brought plates and silverware to us. The food was good, that's the saving grace for this review. The server came back around to let us know the table was ready halfway through our first round of food. We already knew the employees weren't going to get any nicer if we asked to move, so we stayed put. A couple sat down next to us and the bartender fawned all over them- brought the manager out twice to meet with them as well. We ordered more food. But he never got friendlier or more attentive to our group- we didn't take it personally especially when two other men sat down next to us and he also treated them with disdain. We flagged him down when we were done and asked again to split the bill evenly. He muttered something the said something else about already having separate checks for our drinks. He came back with the split the food evenly besides our drinks- fine. We all agreed this wasn't good service - but we're not going to not tip him! We all tipped between 15-20%. As we walked to the door, we saw him look at each of the receipts, then threw down the booklets. The whole restaurant turned. We waited for him to look at us at the door- But he didn't. He acted like a child. And you know who's Wales around the bar to pick up the booklets? The server who gave us attitude first. Felt bad for her. Will never be back.

Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for the right glass to complement the occasion, Sasha's offers plenty of great options.

Versatile, knows…read morehow to treat yo' self, equally at home in yoga pants, ready for a backwoods adventure or dressed to the nines, and doesn't blink at any version of you that walks through the door. That's the vibe. We started on the front patio on a Friday night and quickly realized we'd made a mistake. The doors to the interior were open and the music -- a rock-forward playlist that night -- was loud enough that we considered bailing. Our server, was unbothered when we asked to move up to the rooftop. Where we met with a new bartender and server, London, who rolled with it, got us resettled, and from that point on the night was great. London was clearly handling the bar and most of the rooftop tables, but she was attentive throughout, and made eye contact, which seems a near miracle from many 20-something these days. Bumping the score up just for the flexibility on the table move alone. The food: crab cakes were genuinely good, not life-changing, but well above the weak-crab-cake bar that exists in most of the world, served simply with capers and a small salad. I went off-script and ordered the wagyu burger medium rare with fontina (London mentioned cheddar is the more common pick, but the Fontina offerd a great alternative). The burger was deeply flavorful and cooked exactly right, but here's my one real note for the kitchen: toast the brioche bun. Wagyu medium-rare puts out a lot of juice, and an untoasted bun loses its structural integrity about three bites in. A quick toast would let the bun keep some additional integrate and keep up with the perfectly cooked beef. The pom buff were great, the best elevated patato tots you may come by. Beyond what we ordered, the Greek salad is a longtime go-to -- chopped, with grape leaves and pita, available in a small or large, and easily dressed up into a light meal with or without adding some protein or can be share as a self-dress bruschetta appetizer for the group if you ask for extra bread. The cheese boards are also a reliable pick. The wine list is extensive (it's a wine bar, after all), but they don't sniff at cocktails -- I had a solid fine old fashioned, and my wife shared had a Malbec that paired well with everything. Lots of gluten-free options across the menu, too. What Sasha's gets right is that it has refused to become precious. "Wine bar" reads as pretentious to some people, but this place runs as a neighborhood spot. You'll see college kids dressed way down, couples on dates dressed way up, Hawaiian shirts, oversized sweaters, the full range. It's the kind of place where you can split a bottle with your girlfriends, meet a date for drinks and a quick bite without committing to a full dinner, or roll in for brunch on the weekend. Different times of day, different vibes -- always approachable. 4.7 stars. Loses a few tenths for the front-patio music situation and the weak burger bun, but more than makes up for it on flexibility, food, and overall hang factor.

*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!
