    Flatbread
    Alli N.

    Love the vibe of this place! Their cocktails are batched, but some of the best and most creative cocktails I've had. I never knew I needed a beet juice cocktail until I had it here! The thing that surprised me the most about this place was the food. We always used to just come for cocktails and one day we decided on charcuterie and a flatbread. They totally hit the spot and were very complimentary to their amazing cocktail selection. The bartenders know what they're doing there! It can get super busy at night so if you're trying to go, try to plan ahead and go earlier than anticipated because there may be a wait.

    Went for a night cap after my birthday dinner and we had a fabulous time! We just had drinks but the ambiance was so cozy and sexy with the lights turned down. We had great service and all our drinks were great! So so good! Can't wait to go back.

    Updated review: as this is my 5th or 6th visit, I'd love to update my review. At this point, I have tried the Corpse Reviver, Pineapple Daiquiri, A Weis Mans Martini, If I Did It, and Smokey the Pear. The Corpse Reviver and Martini were amazing, strong without making you flinch! The others were sweet and went down smoothly with the Pineapple Daiquiri being my favorite in terms of flavor. The service ranges from great to okay depending on who you get, but they have never been rude. I know I described it as a yuppie bar and it's still accurate, but I really do like the vibe!

    Loved the vibe of Brennan's! It is a very cool modern space with an event room attached, which is where we had our sushi tasting event. We still had Brennan's drinks from the bar - which were awesome! The service was top tier. Also, loved the bathroom and had to snap a few pics will be back!!

    I've been coming here for years and am always surprised at how each visit surpasses the last. I arrived with my date and despite it being packed, we were able to snag a two-seater in the room to the side. We were immediately given water (always a plus) and menus to peruse. We went through a few different cocktails and since we were having such a good time, I only managed to get a picture of one (Lex on the beach). This place has always impressed me with their top notch service, well-curated drinks, and fun, lively atmosphere. We ended up shutting the place down and befriending Alex, one of the bartenders in the other room. This was such an incredible night and I can't wait to come back again.

    Luxurious and upscale cocktail bar vibe without the insane prices. Drinks are really good quality and there are a variety of signature drinks. Comfortable environment with low booths and tables as well as bar seating. We went on a Friday night and were able to find a table relatively quickly, although it was full the entire night! Will definitely be going back and is certainly my go-to recommendation for cocktail bars when people inquire on new places or for visitors of St. Louis.

    Great atmosphere for a late evening stop for a few drinks! Bar staff was awesome with suggestions and conversations with plenty of laughs in between. Will be adding it to the rotation of stops!

    We showed up on a random Wednesday night and the ambiance was pretty great, the decor was wonderful and the wall of whiskeys was very impressive. Unfortunately, the stench coming from the trash can under the bar was also quite impressive and oppressive. We ended up staying for just one drink because it smelled terribly. The bar tender did great, but should have been a bit more mindful of the stench.

    I've been here a few times, and each time, sadly remember why it takes me so long to come back. * Pros: 1) good lighting 2) aesthetically pleasing atmosphere, appreciate the wood and rustic look of the bar and high top table in bar area 3) noise level is optimal and you can converse with those you visit with 4) visually pleasing cocktails and range of spirit selection * Cons: 1) Smelled like absolute sewage where they sat us - we were placed at the end of the bar by the bathrooms and trash can 2) Cleared plates were being set in front of us at the bar while servers scrapped remains into the trashcan behind the bar (also contributing to awful smell) 3) Service: the bartender that was tending to us was in a foul mood. She was complaining to my partner and I about another patron, and cursing about her annoyance with the patron. We found this to be odd and highly unprofessional behavior. I understand venting, but please attempt to be professional and do that with your colleagues, in back of house instead, to make your patrons feel welcomed and not uncomfortable. 4) Quality of cocktail: I ordered an aviation (which I love and frequently order out). I assumed that because of the standard Brennan's holds itself to, that the cocktail would follow suit. The drink had a few issues -- 1 it was over shaken, which watered it down and changed the balance of the drink and 2 it was not double strained, again, continuing to keep the drink watered down and also left me swallowing large chunks of ice with each sip. I did politely ask for the drink to be double strained and re-poured. Once it was double strained, it did make the drink more enjoyable. We had a one and done kind of cocktail night here and sadly, will not be returning in the near future. Hoping that the management sees this and can make a few helpful changes. Drink Tip for Brennan's: ask for your drink to be double strained if you're getting a cocktail, because apparently it is a not a standard practice.

    Super cute place for drinks. Came on a Saturday and it was pretty busy but we were able to snag a table. Had a great vibe but was a little loud. For food, we got chicken tacos, dumplings, and the jalapeño honey flatbread. The flatbread was an absolute stand out and we need to go back and get it again. The tacos weren't the best and we would not order them again. The drinks were also good.

    Brennan's is a must, if you are wanting a fresh spin on classic cocktails! The service is amazing the staff is very friendly! If you are wanting an approachable atmosphere to enjoy what feels like an upscale cocktail Brennan's is the place to be! Make sure to ask about their to-batch cocktails if you are hosting your own gathering and want to serve up tasty drinks!

    went on a friday night! pretty busy but lots of seating. loved the dark and moody vibes. they have seating outside as well. if you're a true espresso martini girly don't order theirs is a bit diabolical. i will say some of their tables were sticky and since so many people were coming and going it was a little hard for the workers to get to clean. the crowd here was the typical 25+ girlies. some couples and groups. a little more upscale the drink menu didn't wow me personally. there was only one drink i even considered trying. they do have a decent amount of small bites though

    Stopped here for an old-fashioned on a beautiful crisp day. Temperatures were just warm enough to sit on the patio and enjoy all the people watching. Staff was super friendly, drink was absolute perfection, and when I went inside to pay my tab, I was entirely tempted to stay. The atmosphere is spot on.

    Still in love with Hidden Gems and everything it has to offer! The bar itself is such a fun spot…read more The décor is playful and whimsical, and the dance floor is always a good time. The upstairs lounge is perfect if you want to hang out with friends or just take a break and rest your feet for a bit. I absolutely love that space and how comfy it is. One of the biggest perks of Hidden Gems is their back room, which allows them to host events and fun pop-up experiences. I've been to a few, and most recently attended the "Taylor Swift: Bejeweled" experience. The space was decked out in all things Taylor, with every era clearly represented. Giant friendship bracelets hung from the ceilings and lined the walls, which was such a fun touch. And of course, there were plenty of photo ops with my close personal bff, Taylor herself! The drink menu was themed to match the eras, with tons of creative options. My friends and I tried several cocktails, along with a few NA options as well. I really appreciate that they offer non-alcoholic drinks as I've been cutting back on alcohol over the past few months, and it's nice to still have fun choices that actually taste good! The Mirrorball was easily my favorite drink of the night. It tasted just like an orange creamsicle and was served in a disco ball...so good and so fun. My last drink of the night was "So Long London," which was almost like a dessert in a glass. Highly recommend ending your night with that one!

    Pop up bar time!!!!!…read more Street parking , limited. Walking in this building has two parts slab style building. Reservation was set for 6pm , so we browsed around the front room and it had sultry disco appeal. Plenty of seating and bar area well stocked. Great decor of pictures and quotes. Pop up bar thru doors is beautiful. Well lit, plenty of lighting, picturesque moments, music and plenty of seating. Second bar smaller. Tia was our server. Very friendly and attentive. Bar bites of food includes hot dog, chips, pretzels with cheese and cinnamon. Chicken nuggets, pizza rolls. FYI: if you're hungry I suggest eat before you come , if not do not look to get a full meal , food prices are reasonable. I ordered for drink gin gle bell drink and the red wine supernova. Both drinks were fruity and just enough liquor. Drink are pricey but the ambiance makes up for it.

The bouncer was super nice and he actually walked me all the way in. our waitress was also very nice and attentive. It was not busy when we were there and we had reservations for a group of six, which is apparently the most you can have on a reservation. We were there to celebrate a friend's birthday and everyone got a variety of drinks from the cocktail menu. I got their version of the whiskey sour with the cherry froth on top and it was so good. The waitress said it is the most popular and I can see why I really enjoyed it and would've ordered more if it wasn't so expensive for one drink the table, got a variety of the small bites such as the cheese and the Barada. They also got some bread which looked awesome. I did not try personally, but it looked very impressive. the atmosphere is dark and mysterious. It smelled good and felt fancy. The decor is very tasteful and makes you feel like you are truly in a speakeasy. The location is outstanding with it being near the foundry.

We showed up without a reservation, which I wouldn't necessarily recommend. We were initially told the wait would probably be around an hour and a half, so reservations are definitely a good idea. Somehow, we got super lucky and received a text that they were ready for us only about 10 or 15 minutes later. We ended up sitting at the bar, which honestly made the experience even better. If you enjoy watching bartenders work their magic, I highly recommend sitting there if you get the chance. The cocktails here are unlike anything we've had before, and it was so much fun watching all the different drinks being made and seeing the creativity that goes into each one. Our bartender, John, was amazing. He was incredibly personable, answered all of our questions, and was genuinely enjoyable to talk to throughout the evening. Between the two of us, we tried four cocktails. I started with the Linea Uno and asked John if he could make it less bitter after the woman sitting next to me mentioned that was an option. It was delicious, although I apparently didn't pay enough attention to the menu when ordering because it was tequila-based, and tequila normally isn't my first choice. The Trade Winds was one of the coolest drinks of the night, made with clarified rum, apricot, and coconut and topped with mango air. The mango air literally looked like bubbles but smelled like mango. Such a unique presentation, and the drink itself was really enjoyable. My husband tried the New York Whiskey Sour, made with clarified whiskey, yuzu, tart cherry, and black lime cordial with a red wine foam. Again, the presentation was beautiful, and it tasted just as good as it looked. My personal favorite was Ankra's Passion Fruit Martini, made with vodka, vanilla, passion fruit, lime, and bubbles. It came with a small glass of champagne on the side, which was a really nice touch. John mentioned that I could drink the champagne separately or add it to the martini as I went. I ended up pouring some into the cocktail, and for me, it balanced out the sweetness of the passion fruit perfectly. The entire speakeasy experience was just fun, from trying to find the entrance to making our way inside and finally settling in at the bar. We took plenty of pictures and videos along the way, but I'm intentionally not posting most of them because I don't want to ruin the surprise for anyone visiting for the first time. I will share a picture of the red light you need to look for at The Foundry since we initially had a little trouble figuring out where to go, along with some photos of our drinks. The rest of the journey inside is something I think you should experience for yourself. Creative cocktails, beautiful presentations, a genuinely fun atmosphere, and fantastic service from John made this an easy five-star experience for us. If you're visiting The Foundry and enjoy unique cocktails and hidden speakeasies, None of the Above is absolutely worth finding. Just learn from us and make a reservation. We got very lucky!
