    Mango dessert
    Lydia C.

    Another business closing I didnt get out to enough! Had a lovey evening with my friend. The Mexican Chocolate drink was tasty. Slightly bitter, but drinkable for it? And I thought the mango dessert was so delicious and cute. The graham cracker crust was great. Rip, Bailey's Chocolate Bar

    Loved the duck and apple flatbread. The tiramisu martini was excellent! Loved the waiter, the atmosphere and the dessert choices. They have beautiful outdoor patio area to sit in eve (we didn't this trip as it was very cold). Glad we found a new spot for drinks. Menus were outdated, the pickled shrimp cocktail and caprese flatbread are no longer available. The salted caramel old fashioned tasted like gasoline. Just FYI: The restroom is downstairs, not handicap accessible.

    Espresso Martini
    Nicole S.

    This was the final stop we made for my birthday dinner plans on Thursday evening. The espresso martini was TO DIE FOR--the best I've ever had. They were out of several of their desserts, so I didn't get to try the chocolate orange cheesecake (the reason we went there in the first place). It was disappointing, but we settled on the banana split--ya definitely cant go wrong! I'm still dreaming about the layer of crunchy brûlée on the banana. Service was a bit slow but all of the staff were very friendly. It was moderately busy, more than I expected for a Thursday at 9pm--it's clearly a popular spot! The space feels super intimate, definitely a good option for a date. I'm planning to keep an eye on their seasonal offerings to plan another time to go. Although, I'd go for the martini alone!

    Delicious Drinks! Service was eh, but we did go right before they closed. Can't wait to go back and try more!

    Took my partner here for his birthday. Everything tasted amazing! For drinks we got a dubai chocolate martini and a cappuccino and for food we got the spanakopita, blondie and the bread pudding. I especially LOVED the cappuccino, absolutely perfect. My only critiques is there could be just a tad bit more lighting in the back, it was pretty dim and a little difficult to read the menus. Also the music could be turned down a tad as well. Had a great date here overall and would likely go back :)

    My husband and I went after dinner to continue our date night with drinks and dessert. The bubbly flight was okay, but overshadowed by the chocolate espresso martini - the best I've ever had. It's a very dark and moody restaurant m, perfect for a little romantic night. I will say due to the location in an old building I am not sure how accessible it is, the bathroom is down a steep flight of stairs.

    Lovers Plate - Aphrodisiacs - Taste For Two
    Anna G.

    Good service and great vibe. Came here with a friend and got cocktails and the sampler plate to split. Was a LOT of food for just two people, we ended up leaving a lot of the popcorn behind. Great place for a date night or a special event. Probably not somewhere I'll come to frequently because it has a limited menu. There was plenty of street parking. The desserts are pretty good but feels as though it's all premade or frozen. I wouldn't describe the food as ultra gourmet but was fun to try it out!

    The "Lover's Plate"
    Ali L.

    Went on an absolutely lovely date to this location! Very romantic atmosphere with low lighting and upscale aesthetic. The espresso martini was the best espresso martini I've ever had! We also ordered the lovers plate, which was very similar to that of a charcuterie board where there were multiple types of desserts to sample. We also had the most wonderful server, Jimmy. My partner is hard of hearing and he was very accommodating and friendly. The date was pretty cute too . Cannot recommend this place enough!

    Lover's Plate
    David S.

    Has a great atmosphere and feel to it. Staff was great, attentive enough but not too much. Thr food itself we got the lover plate. Description itself seemed enticing and when when we got the plate very exciting. But it becomes a disappointment with thr popcorn. Taste and feel cheap and used to fill flare without giving you more. The chocolate balls are very rich. Thr banana brulee was great and so where thr brownies and chocolate chip cookies. I didn't get to taste the macrons. Contrary to thr previous pictures they gVe two not three. But I went there because I had read thry served amazing drinking chocolate. Thr plate itself had two small cups, but rather than drinking or sipping chocolate it was dipping chocolate. It wasn't hot wither but a bit cold not even warm temperature. I had to order a cup of hot chocolate, which didn't take like high percentage of cacao but almost regular hot chocalate but higher end quality. I don't drink so, I have nothing to say about that end of thr business.

    Espresso martini

    What a lovely experience. Our server Astor was exceptionally good. He was so nice and has such a gentle manner. He made the evening so nice. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and very cozy. We started with drinks, an espresso martini and strawberry whiskey. Both were very good. Bailey's Chocolate Bar is mostly known for dessert but they have a few savory items. Flatbread, cheese and charcuterie, crab cakes. The cheese and charcuterie board was very good with some interesting cheeses. A Norwegian Gjetost was delicious. Crab cakes were great. Crispy and hot. We ended with the lovers plate. A lot of delicious sweets and drinking chocolate. The drinking chocolate was very good and the treats on the plate which were numerous were so good. We had a nice array to take home. I highly recommend Bailey's Chocolate Bar!

    Chocolate martinis
    Erica S.

    Baileys' exceeded my expectations, which were already high because I love chocolate and chocolate martinis! I love that they take reservations too. With the ambiance, it can be a cute romantic or friend date spot, and there is plenty of options for food and drinks. My friends and I focused on trying the drinks but one of them enjoyed the flatbread they ordered. When seated at our table, the server had given us these delicious small cookies for free - one for each person! The chocolate martinis were amazing - my favorite was the signature martini! Certainly want to come back and try more martinis and food in the future though (also heard from a friend that their desserts are great)!

    Bailey's is a longtime establishment in St. Louis. It is located in Lafyette Square which is an area of the city I have always enjoyed. It is a place I tend to go to other restaurants in the area, but stopped in one night after eating at the Polite Society. This is probably the biggest knock for the spot, I don't view it really as an option for food. They do have a modest food menu, but it is definitely thought of as a drinks and dessert place. That probably is inherently tied into the fact it is a chocolate bar! I don't think of that theme overlapping with many great main dishes. I've heard reasonable things about their dishes, but it isn't what anyone really talks about and I've never heard anyone say they went to Baily's for the food. The ambiance is pretty good but very dark. This gives it a romantic vibe. The place is always busy, typically a mixture of couples on dates and girls' nights. I think every time I've been in there was an all girls birthday celebration or bachelorette group. People tend to be dressed up, with this being one of many stops on a night out for many patrons. I think for these sort of activities it is a great spot. I mean my wife and I stopped in on a date night to get a dessert. That is the drawback though, it serves a bit of a niche role in the food/restaurant community in St. Louis. For that role it is great, but it limits it appeal to a degree. If you think a chocolate martini and a slice of indulgent cake sounds great stop in. If you want a porterhouse steak and craft beer go somewhere else.

    Baileys' is a quaint little spot with a unique romantic vibe. We tried a variety of the dishes on the menu. They started us with some mini chocolate chip cookies. They were overcooked but tasty. The chocolate martini was delicious, and the old fashioned was very unique. We ordered the charcuterie board, which was very good with a great selection of cheeses. The fig jam was delicious. The crab cakes were good, but the roasted red pepper chutney was the Star....so good! The prosciutto flatbread was good, too. We ordered the chocolate inebriation and brownie for dessert. We were not impressed with either dessert. Unfortunately the dessert at a dessert restaurant was not the star. It was a fun experience but wouldn't eat there again.

    Are there any other locations in other States?

    No, this is a local family owned restaurant. They own several restaurants in the StL area.

    So is it open yet? Are reservations required? Are there any covid protocols I need to know about?

    Are they still closed due to water damage? Their website indicates that they are, but the hours here were update two weeks ago.

    Hi Jessie! Baileys' is still temporarily closed but plans to reopen after the first of the year!

    Do they still have complimentary chocolate chip cookies on the table when you're seated?

    No when we went two months ago we did not get any

    Do you have to be 21 to get deserts here?

Our server, was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations throughout the meal. You can tell the owner and chef take pride in creating a memorable dining experience.

The parking lot had spaces available. We walked in and there was an event space on the right and a large sofa and chairs against the back wall. Signs indicated where to go for Bellwether so we went around the windows showing the climbing wall to the elevator. Upstairs we were greeted promptly and asked if we wanted to sit inside or out. We opted for inside and she led us down one level to the second floor. I think the building is really cool, and the restaurant is well appointed, exposed brick, cool lantern hanging lamps, bookshelves filled with books and odds and ends, Waitress was friendly, there were only a couple of tables on the floor, but she wasn't intrusive and let us take out time. It filled up more by the time we left. The menu had several things I wanted to order but ended up deciding on the breakfast fried rice. We also ordered the cinnamon roll for the table. Coffee was hot and kept refilled, but it was just ok. The cinnamon roll was tasty. The fried rice was great and the fried egg on top was well cooked and tasty. One of our party ordered a side of sausage, it was four links and they were good, another ordered the pork belly sandwich and that was one of my other choices, I tried it and was impressed! I thought it would be too sweet, but it was perfect. Viewing the pictures of dinner, can't wait to go back for that and sitting outside!

The vibe is classic, elevated, and gives true cocktail lounge energy -- not loud or chaotic, just intentional and well put together. Now let's talk about what we came for: the drinks. We ordered the Old Fashioned flight, and when I say they did not come to play... they did not come to play. Each one was crafted differently, and you can tell there's real skill behind the bar. These are not bartenders -- these are mixologists. Every drink was balanced, strong (in a good way), and thoughtfully made. Quick tip: If you plan on getting the Old Fashioned flight, make this your last stop of the night... because you will feel it. Service was great, drinks came out in a timely manner, and the overall experience felt elevated from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for a true cocktail experience in St. Louis.

The bar has plenty of comfortable seating and cozy tables if you decide to bring some friends. Caleb was our server during our visit. He was an absolute delight.

I usually always get chilaquiles when they are available. But today the ruby trout and grits sounded perfect. This dish was amazing!! The trout was thin with crispy skin. The grits were creamy and delicious. The dish is topped with a house made radish pico and salsa macha. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich that was paired with the crispiest breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The burger and fries are also a good option. The seasoning on the fries is next level. The brunch menu has a sticky toffee roll that is a perfect size for sharing or not. Salty sweet fork tender cinnamon roll. Lastly, the deviled eggs were a group favorite. I am a big fan of Passenger Chili Crisp. If you are unfamiliar please look them up! It's hands down the best chili crisp I've ever had. It's locally made here in STL and can also be found in several dishes at restaurants around town. The eggs were creamy with the right amount of tang from the mustard. The chili crisp made these deviled eggs easily top five best I've ever had! Planning to stop in again soon for happy hour with more friends
