One of the best, if not the best, margaritas I've ever had. It was crisp, clean, & simple. Cannot recommend the Mita Margarita enough. We Ubered to Dressel's around noon on a Saturday. We were quickly seated at the bar. Rachael was our bartender & she was incredibly helpful & kind. She helped us narrow down our drink order as well as our food order. Everything we ate was delicious. The drinks were even better. The whole place felt so warm & inviting. Lots of cool paintings on the wall. And the clean bathrooms were also a plus! Definitely will be back! read more

Came here for an early dinner during a weekday and I'm glad I did! There's a dining room to the left of the door and the bar area with some tables along the wall to the right. It was pretty empty when I came in and I had my pick of bar seats. I loved the rustic decor with the wood of the bar and exposed brick on the wall with a lot of natural light. I was able to try a few beers before picking one and the bartender was helpful in selecting one I'd like. A plus to me that they brew their own beer in house. If you're a beer drinker I definitely recommend coming in for one. For food I ordered a cup of Mac & cheese and later the porchetta louie. Mac & cheese was just ok I personally think since it's noodles with a liquid sauce vs baked serving it in more of a shallow bowl would be better as the sauce pools in the bottom and the cup is too small to stir the noodles. Also using a smaller noodle would help with this as it kind of felt like I was just eating noodles. The porchetta louie was GOOD STUFF, I recommend! I do wish there was more pork to the sandwich because the cheesiness of it was a little overwhelming but the kale and peppers perfectly compliment the fatty of the pork and the richness of the cheese. Will order again! I'd also like to say their house cut chips are the real deal! So addicting! Perfectly crispy and salted and a great portion. Overall a great experience. The bartender was lovely, beer was great, the service and kitchen was efficient, and the food was great. I'll definitely bring some friends and come back again read more

Great dining and customer service! Dressels is great for the whole family. The mac n cheese is so cheesy. The fish was crispy! The restaurant has a nice patio to watch the cwe scene and the interior has a cool bar and ability to see some beer vats. It does have ability to seat large parties This place is accessible with a little assistance and does offer items for kids. read more

Food was tasty, but what restaurant doesn't have tomatoes??!! And no salsa for tacos? Either way, those could have been overlooked if it wasn't for the bartenders lack of personality. We sat at the bar and he didn't smile once! I felt like we were a chore. The burger and fish tacos were good, but atmosphere, not so much. read more

The BEST fish and chips I've ever had!! Phenomenally crisp and soft fish and incredible taste. The Caesar salad is also delicious, fully covered in Caesar dressing. The service was also super kind and attentive. Their patio is wonderful to enjoy on a nice warm day. Can't wait to go back it's such a hidden gem in CWE. read more

Came the day before St. Patrick's Day specifically to get a Reuben. Really glad we decided to share it, otherwise it would've hurt to eat all that. It was absolutely delicious. Service was good and attentive. The old school atmosphere of the building really lends to the ambience. Truly enjoyed the visit. read more

Dressels public house is a pub that has been around the CWE for over 40 years. It closed but then re-opened recently and expanded to add a microbrewery inside, called Rock & Horse. I came in for drinks last night and went to the bar area. Sadly I did not capture any photos of the interior but the overall vibes were pretty cozy. Lots of dark wood tones and they even have a fireplace. The serve food, cocktails, beers, wine, and a few NA options. I opted for the Spanish G & T and it came out very quickly. Overall I enjoyed the experience and would love to come back. Some considerations are that given that the pub is in the CWE, parking is street parking. Additionally the hours of this pub are regularly 12-10pm! read more

Stopped here because it's a DDD which means that Guy Fieri visited. There was a wait as the place was packed. Service was good. Grilled cheese with bacon added was amazing! I was scared of truffle oil but don't let that stop you, it was amazing! Also tried the porcetta Louie sandwich which was good. Mac and cheese is outstanding! read more

What a cool spot! A small group of us went for lunch. We all had a lovely time, the food was delicious, and everyone that had a beer really enjoyed it. Rachel, our waitress, was fabulous. She had a great sense of humor and was very helpful. I had the fish tacos and they were amazing. Others had the Ruben, burger, and grilled cheese. Everyone was super happy with their choices, and we talked about coming back if we're all in town together again! read more

The fish tacos are amazing. Large flaky pieces of fish and generous sections of avocado. I ad the mixed greens as a side and it was a generous salad. We had the house IPA and really liked it. The patio is quiet and shady. read more

Amazing service. Nice outdoor patio that is dog friendly. Food is great. Good salad and soup! Honestly it's such a great place.

I am a fan of Lam Burgers, so when I saw them on the menu, it was a no brainer on what I was going to order. When I ordered, I asked if the House Chips were similar to the original Dressel's chips and they said, they were. Again, no brainer on what to order. My Lamb Burger, was made with ground lamb from Colorado, topped with an apricot chutney, whipped goat cheese and garnished with a pickle and lettuce. OMG, it was so delicious. The chips were not exactly like the previous Dressel's, but they were still a good crispy side for my burger. I was dining with a friend and their order was the Ruben with Fries. She was not impressed with the Ruben, but her fries were top notch. I actually wish I had ordered the fries over my chips. When friends get together, of course you've got to have adult beverages. I ordered a, Handsome Stranger. I liked the creative name and it was made with Elijah Craig, a favorite of mine. It was masterfully made, so I had to have a second one. We dined at the bar, so our server was the bartender, Rachael B. She not only made our drinks masterfully, she was an attentive server, as well. So, if you're in the CWE and want a casual lunch or dinner, I recommend Dressel's. read more

Walked in on a Tuesday night, plenty of diners but not too crowded and we were able to be sat right away. I had the lamb burger and soup side. My boyfriend had the fish and chips. The lamb burger was tasty but did feel the chutney overpowered it a bit. The soup was on the bland side. The fish and chips were delish and definitely a recommendation! Right amount of batter and the fries were well done too! We will be back for the fish and chips for sure and will also try the regular burger. read more

Dressel's was the STL staple that I am glad I finally was able to try! The menu has something for everyone. We had the pretzel and rarebit as an app. The pretzel was so fresh and delicious! My entree was the grilled cheese sandwich with tomato bisque. It was good. Next time I'll get this as an app to share. Don't skip on the bread pudding! Definitely the highlight of the meal! read more

Enjoyed an evening at the bar at Dressel's. The host that night worked quickly with each guest to get them seated. There is a decent selection of beers on draft. I have been to Dressel's a few times and l have not had anything underwhelming. The lamb burger was good but the side of mac and cheese was delightful. I appreciated the staff and the environment. read more

Welcome back, Dressel's Public House! I used to come here for lunch several times a week. Thrilled to see all the old favorites still on the menu, along with some exciting new additions. Congrats on the new Rock & Horse Brewing Company, offering a local microbrewery experience right in the heart of the area. The renovations are fantastic, especially the artwork that adds to the ambiance. We popped in for drinks and were impressed by the atmosphere and can't wait to come back for a full dining experience to taste both the food and the brews. I had an Old-fashioned and a Manhattan. Both were great. Live the vibe! The cocktails were great! So excited you're back! read more

Being as I am the representivie of the older crowd, I have to say, this place is for "my people". What makes that the case? Above and beyond service, very personable staff and a warm welcoming feel to thwart place in general. Great fish and chips, but the daily soups are excellent. It's very much a pub menu and atmosphere here. Solid bar staff and I've never been disappointed. read more

Decided to walk in for dinner with my wife and 2-month old, did not disappoint. We shared the fish and chips and fish tacos, which were incredible. The fish tasted fresh, and the batter was crispy and not soggy, making it taste light but filling. The tacos were also great with flavorful and not too heavy sauce. I had it with the house Pilsner which is brewed downstairs, which was smooth and a good pairing. Was my wife's best fish and chips in years since she was in Greenwich, London. Great service too, very accommodating with our newborn. Ambiance was classic pub-like, would be interesting to go in busier hours. Not a place like it in the CWE, hope they stay for a while. read more

Walking in Dressel's was a bit like walking back in time. It's homey and rustic, everyone seems to be a regular, the service is fast and personal, and the food is limited to a few traditional but well done options. The dish and chips are the best I've had in St. Louis. My partner had the lamb burger and devoured it. We could barely choose between the off menu desserts but went with the crème brûlée on the waiter's advice. We will be back to try their other staples! read more

4 people for dinner. Waiting to sit outside only took about 10 mins. Tables and chairs very clean. Waitress quick to the table to take our drink o& food order. Ordered: chicken sandwich with fries , Rueben , fish tacos, hamburger with mac and cheese. Everyone is agreed the food was a 10/10. I only have one "complaint". We did have to ask 4x for milk for coffee. We finally got it after dinner was totally finished. (Company was so good I forgot to take pictures) read more

Oh dressel's, how I love you. We went last night after a huge flop at another restaurant. They could fit in 8 people at 7pm and the host was the nicest person! Super accommodating and helpful. The reopened Dressels is just as good as the old dressels. Lamb burger was delicious. Everyone really enjoyed their food. I personally really loved the house salad- excellent dressing. Our server was really nice and did a great job. A huge draw for this place is the excellent on tap beer selection- my dad loves it. I love the wooden and brick interior. The round table we sat at made conversation easy in a big group. Get you butt to Dressels! read more

When they first opened few months ago, this place was gold. Today, we see prices went up few dollars-hairs and quality dropped. We ordered Lamb Burger - came with small salad (was just OK), House Salad (Mixed Greens only), Pork Soup (lots of fat, few pieces of meat), Côtes du Rhône wine (Solitude brand. It was good). Check total $70 for 2. It is overpriced. This building is cool. I love the interior. We sat at the bar and service was fast. read more

I met a friend a few weeks ago or dinner and she recommended we visit Brennan's. Honestly, I had never been before, so this was a good choice for us to try! She used to visit often when she was in college and knew lots of the servers and told me that it was quite a great spot back in the day and that she used to visit it often over the past few years too! So, since she was such a regular, I had to visit! We arrived right when they opened so we were the first customers of the evening and found 2 seats at the bar! The bartender was so friendly and we talked a lot about their renovation and other things that are different (including the menu). She offered us some drink options and gave us the to review the menu. One of the managers came over to talk with us since it wasn't too busy and we started asking about menu items that he recommended based on the kitchen staff he had. He was telling me that the grilled cheese with the tomato bisque had different cheeses that they hadn't previously served before, but I was willing to try it! My friend is GF and asked about the bread options and they did have a GF bread for her burger which she was very happy about. We also ordered some fries as a side since they are also GF. Overall, the food was so good and that grilled cheese was served on the best sourdough bread! I will get that item again for sure and recommend it to others. I will add this location to my list of places to visit for drinks and/or dinner! Service was really great and as it got busier, we noticed that the servers, bartenders and even the manager still managed to make their rounds to ensure all their guests were happy! Honestly, I am sad I hadn't been to this spot earlier, but I am glad I tried it and can't wait to go back! read more

I have never been to Dressel's but was still super excited when it opened back up. Husband and I got there around 7 and were told it was a 20-30 minute wait. We put our name on the list and were told to come back in like 20 minutes, so we went next door to up down. When we returned, they had a table ready for us. We sat down and ordered drinks and food. Limited menu but what they have is yummy! Husband ordered the lamb burger with a side of fries and I got the fish and chips. We both also got drinks! Everything came out being delicious. Drinks were a bit slow but not terrible. Food was warm, delicious and tasted fresh. It was all really good. Decor was cool, they said it was different from before and they cut out part of the floor and put distillery equipment in there...(curious if they will start brewing). Server was very friendly and shared some of the changes that had been made! I will def go back and try more of this food! It was really enjoyable! read more

A neighborhood hangout that has seen an upgrade and revamped menu. It still has the famous house made chips and rarebit cheese for the old timers and delicious newcomers on the menu. It's a nice spot not too expensive but can get loud when busy. The patio has expanded with the restaurant so it's easy to hang out here. read more

AMAZING food, AMAZING service, staff and location. Best public house/pub food in whole STL area.

We walked in and were immediately seated in an empty restaurant. And then we waited and waited - for about 20 minutes with just menus and no server, just a bartender avoiding eye contact. We got up and left after a group came in and were immediately served. No idea why they ignored us. read more

This place is one of the best restaurants going in St Louis now. It was always great, but since reopening the atmosphere is better and the menu seems even tighter. My wife had the fish and chips, which she rated as the best in the St Louis area. I had the lamb burger with apricot chutney(which I always order), and it was as amazing as always. I had the house salad as a side and the manchego went really well with the basil vinaigrette. We also tried a few of their new beers, and I was surprised at how well-done they were. Finally, our server Rachel was outstanding. Super friendly and attentive. read more

My wife and I had lunch here and had a great experience. I started off with a Old Fashioned and my wife had a draft beer. We learned that they brew their own beer and my wife's brew was excellent. My wife ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the seafood chowder and fish tacos both excellent. The soup was homemade and delicious. We had a nice chat with the bartender who turned out to be the owner. Benjamin was so nice. Thank you. We will be back for sure!! read more
