Description

Taha’a Twisted Tiki

4199 Manchester Ave

Does St. Louis have you longing for a trip to the tropics? Taha’a Twisted Tiki is a good backup plan, and it’s also one of the most interesting bars in St. Louis. Come here for a festive atmosphere, an all-seasons patio with a firepit, tiki drinks and popular foods like steak skewers and deep-fried Oreos.

Narwhal’s Crafted Urban Ice

3906 Laclede Ave

Maybe frozen drinks are more your style? Along with beer and specialty cocktails, Narwhal’s has 14 frozen drinks, like the Rhubarb Paloma (tequila, grapefruit, lime, agave nectar, rosemary and rhubarb simple syrup and jalapeños) or Count Orlock’s Beer Punch (Urban Chestnut pumpkin ale, spiced rum, cider, several fruit flavors, spices and activated charcoal).

Small Batch

3001 Locust St

There are vegetarian restaurants, and there are places with great whiskey, but there are very few that specialize in both. Small Batch is the exception, serving delicious food alongside whiskeys — which can come in flights or cocktails — as well as wines and beers.

Milo’s Bocce Garden

5201 Wilson Ave

Regardless of your skill or familiarity with the game of bocce, there aren’t a lot of bars in St. Louis that specialize in it. Come between 3 and 6PM Monday through Friday for $2.25 longnecks and open bocce play.

The Libertine

7927 Forsyth Blvd

The Libertine is home to truly interesting cocktails. Try the bar’s original drinks, like Robert Smith’s Social Security Check (scotch, duck-fat washed benedictine, sweet vermouth, Laphroaig 10-year mist whiskey) and the Revolver (bourbon with house raw green coffee cordial, orange bitters, and torched orange).

The Gin Room

3200 S Grand Blvd

Cafe Natasha’s is a very worthy destination in its own right, serving Persian food that makes for some of the best dining in St. Louis. So it’s all the more impressive to find one of the most interesting bars in the city within Cafe Natasha’s. The Gin Room is a prime destination for all things gin, whether you’re a connoisseur or you just enjoy a gin and tonic.

Tiny Bar

1008 Locust St

Tiny Bar’s name says it all, as the venue provides a small menu of creative cocktails served in a single room. But these cocktails have big time delicious taste, and there’s plenty of atmosphere on offer.

Thaxton Speakeasy

1009 Olive St

Thaxton Speakeasy is frequently reserved for private events. When it’s open to the public, especially when there’s live music, it’s a cool, old-timey spot to grab a drink and dance, once you give the secret password, of course.

Eclipse at Moonrise

6177 Delmar Blvd

Eclipse offers one of the most unique and enjoyable vibes in St. Louis, a rooftop bar looking down on the Loop, where you can enjoy classic or signature cocktails (e.g. Black Tea and Sympathy or Buffy the Vodka Slayer) amid interesting lunar décor.

Bailey’s Chocolate Bar

1915 Park Ave

You know what’s more interesting — and certainly more delicious — than a typical bar? A bar that specializes in drinks made to be enjoyed with chocolate. So enjoy one of the signature cocktails, like the Irish, with espresso ice cream, cream and whiskey. Or go for some delicious sparkling wine, beer or whiskey.
