The server was super sweet and took great care of us, unlike many restaurants she took the order right and made sure my friends plate was onion free (she has an allergy). She was super quick with it and gave mom vibes in the best way possible! the ambiance was pretty average for a bar, nice taken care of pool table, fancy jukebox, and lots of LED signs making it very nostalgic!

When we arrived, the garage door was open at the back of the bar giving it that fresh air patio feel. Friendly staff greeted us as we walked in. Cold AB beer products on tap. However, they were having $1 Miller Lite drafts until 6pm (Saturdays) so I started with that. I ordered the fish sandwich served with fries. I would rate that a 3-4 star as it was mediocre. However, other people in our party raved about how good their steak/baked potato or pulled pork sliders were. Our waitress was McKenzie and she was a doll. Kept our drinks coming and very attentive to our table. Band was great! And we had a fantastic time!

My friend and I got the Barrel Experience for our guys for Christmas and we just made the…read morereservation on March. We had so much fun! Steven was an amazing guide and has the whole place set up perfectly. I would recommend eating before you come, they do have snacks, that were really good, but nothing like a heavy dinner, which we probably needed. And I think i might have drank the whole gallon of water just trying to keep my self sane. Ha! Water is abundant. The guys got to rate all the kinds of whiskey and then make their own bottle, they got to name their bottle and we brought home 2 glasses. What I really paid for was the Barrel Experience and a tasting. I could see this spot getting very busy on the weekends, so I will say we went on a Thursday and we basically had the place to ourselves. There is plenty of comfy seating and the place has such great decor. If you or your partner like Whiskey, you need to check this out!

Discovered this dive bar during the World Cup games. The inconsistencies in decor/vibe throughout…read morethe place makes sense later knowing the bar was on Bar Rescue around 2024/2025. We had a good time playing pool and there was a male bartender making our first drinks that was very friendly and conversational. The female bartender made our second round of drinks and was more standoffish as if we didn't fit the "dive bar scene" since we were dressed up a bit. We enjoyed a couple rounds of pool and watching the World Cup game then we left before karaoke was about to start. Bar itself has plenty of seating and nice lighting for the bottles. After learning the story about the owner and the bar, I'm very happy this place is still open but I don't think we'll be back.

We visited The Fireplace Bar for Friday night karaoke. This is a dive bar, in a good way. There are…read morepool tables and darts. 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.

Great spot for anyone in their 20s and 30s looking for a chill but fun night out. The main bar area has karaoke nights and people get INTO it! They're so talented. If you keep walking through there's another room with games and a small kitchen for food. The menu is simple but the food is unexpectedly amazing and leans mostly vegetarian. The tofu is an absolute 10/10, the fries are good, and the buffalo cauliflower and chicken poppers are both must orders. Oh and the drinks are fun and the bathroom is a whole little experience on its own. Overall, it's just a good time. Definitely coming back.

If you're anywhere near the Missouri State Capitol and need a great place to stop, Red Wheel Steam…read moreHouse is an absolute win. It's an easy walk down the hill from the Capitol. Yes, the coffee is excellent -- well-crafted, smooth, and exactly what you want whether you're starting your day or taking a midday break (be sure to get a pastry or cookie, trust me on this!). But what really sets Red Wheel apart is that if you're not in the mood for coffee, you've got options. Their selection of alcoholic drinks makes this a perfect spot to transition from afternoon caffeine to early evening relaxation. Indoor seating is limited, but the ample outdoor seating more than makes up for it. Inside, the cozy space gives you a front-row seat to watch the barista work their magic, while also creating a great opportunity to chat with the owners and learn about the connected bike shop next door. Red Wheel Steam House strikes that perfect balance -- great coffee, flexible drink options, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a local, a Capitol regular, or just passing through Jefferson City, this spot is worth the stop.

Our lunch location didn't have Guiness stout, but the Red Wheel did, which made the hubs happy. I got an espresso AND an Espresso Martini. Both were delicious. The actual building is very small and has limited seating and room. Therefore, the coffee comes in nice paper cups. There is a wonderful outside seating area and would be amazing in the warmer weather. The barista was so nice and very efficient making our drinks. There were several people and more who came in, and he handled the rush gracefully They also offer batista classes, which I think would be super cool for a couples or girls only outing. Stop by and try them out!
