Veggie burger fixed like  philly cheese steak !!!!!!  OMG  SSSOOOO FREAKIN GREAT !!!!!    Thank you Friendly's
Carla W.

So, I had a great meal today, thank you Friendly's. I got a Philly Cheese Steak made with the veggie burger !!!!!! Sooooo freakin' good !! Great games on tv and pool to play. Great neighborhood spot, very welcoming!!!

Friendly's is always a fun time and why it's been one of my favorite neighborhood spots! Drinks are cheap in general but they run a few specials for Sunday Funday. You can't find a better spot to catch a game, inside or out. The heated tent with TV's is a smokers paradise. With Justin in the kitchen there are rotating homemade specials, like fried chicken, and lasagna. Be warned (or advised if it's your thing) that Friday/Saturday late nights can sometimes be crazy. Cash only but they have an ATM..stop by a couple of times and you'll make friends!!

Nice neighborhood bar. Friendly bartender and servers. Has a great feel to it. Large outside seating area, including a tent with multiple TVs tuned to sports. They have a decent sized food offering of mainly bar food and sandwiches. They have wonderful burgers and home made chips, There are a number of games on site if you wish to play.

Wings and Pizza

If you're looking for a great neighborhood bar with good food, look no further. This is the place to go! They have the NFL ticket and will put the TV's on your game-First come First served. They menu is a basic bar food menu, but their pizza is comparable to Imos! They have the Family Meal deal which is the beat deal I've seen at a bar. It's (2) one topping 14" pizzas, Wings, Toasted Ravioli and 4 sodas for $34.99 dine in ($36.99 to go) WHAT A DEAL! I can't wait to come back and watch the game!

Ten dollar buckets on Wednesdays!

Cold beer on a Wednesday night! As a bar, I haven't been a huge fan of Friendly's. Usually, our group would hit it up after a game or Blackthorn run, and I can't say it's all that exciting as a hangout. They have all sorts of games and distractions, but it's just not my seen. Also, it didn't help that on my 29th birthday the door guy gave me a hard time for not having my ID. I had just been hired at my current job and took my driver's license out of my wallet to be xeroxed, forgetting to put it back in my wallet. We argued for several minutes, and after I showed him my voter registration card, he begrudgingly let me in with a warning. Yesterday I tried Friendly's food for the first time. My pops came through again with a sweet deal. For ten dollars, we got two chicken dinners with two side and a domestic beer each. It doesn't take much to get me out of the house for chicken and beer, even though Friendly's and I had a questionable past. Props to the waitress! She let us order a drink special with our gift certificate, allowing us the Wednesday night special of a ten dollar bucket of six beers instead of the single beer each. "We'll just charge you anything over $21," she said. Woo to the hoo! I thought that was very cool. The chicken was pretty good. I would compare it to Hodak's, just that clean, fresh taste with no big perks. The breading could have used a little kick, but the chicken itself was juicy and HOT! The sides were quite sizable. The mashed potatoes and gravy hit the spot, and my wife's fries were bountiful! Alright, Friendly's, I forgive you for the little incident. Just keep the chicken coming!

I'm a sucker for a south city dive bar and Friendly's nails it on the head.

Another fun party at Small Change!…read more Happy Tiki Birthday to Jamie and Bill! I love the cocktail creations that include the Big O Liquor, this year I enjoyed the Back Breaker and the Big O-Spresso Martini. The Back Breaker was refreshing with the different fruit flavors and had a cute pineapple swizzle stick. The Big O-Spresso was very rich with lots of cream, yum Good Strangers was there proving Tiki inspired tacos, I tried both the chicken and the brisket and both were great but the chicken was the winner for me, that slaw was such a great addition! Order at the bar or with a waitress, everyone is having a great time decked out in Tiki gear and the bar full of lots of props. Always a good time!

What a sweet spot to grab a drink and enjoy some good company…read more Stopped in for a night cap with a friend. The place is steeped in pride for both STL and LGBTQ+ community. The bartenders were awesome. We walked up to the bar and both bartenders got things rolling for us quickly. They have a really solid menu as well. They have some wildly unique cocktail options that blend dive bar ingredients with a craft cocktail approach. The vibes were great. The back patio was super nice and a great spot to just relax. I got a gimlet which was beautiful. Slightly tart, with just enough sweetness to balance it all out. There are not many things on this planet better than getting a damn good cocktail at a dive bar.

Best bar in STL hands down. Drinks are affordable. Bartenders are the nicest people ever. Vibes and…read moregames are great! Also $3 jello shots, so like yeah I'm there!

The BF and I stopped in after visiting Little Lucy. He noticed Purple Quarters on our drive through…read morethe Grove and thought it'd be a place I would like. I love that fact that they offer craft cocktails. The bar area is intimate and cozy. Since we just left from practically next door and enjoyed a plethora of cocktails. I couldn't drink any more nor did I want to. I follow them on IG to see what's the latest happenings and cocktail creations. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door with smiling faces. As soon as I walked in the door I was so excited for this game room because it's not typical. It's clean and intimate, like an upscale parlor. The bar is inviting and cute. The games are beyond reasonable. We love ski ball and it's located in the center of the game room against the wall with several attached, so you have to be crammed next to other patrons. Ski ball is only $0.50 a game and if you score high enough it automatically resets to give you another game. Where can you play ski ball this cheap. They also have pin ball games, arcade games, board games and more. We played several games of Connect Four-----CLASSIC. They have comedy night and karaoke in addition to gaming. We absolutely love this spot, can't wait to return.

Hidden Gems in St. Louis -- and darling, the name is not exaggerating…read more I had the absolute pleasure of attending a birthday celebration here and let me tell you... this place is a vibe, a moment, and a whole sparkling experience. The space is intimate, stylish, and perfectly appointed -- the kind of place that feels like you've stumbled into a secret little jewel box in the city. It's cozy in the best possible way, with an atmosphere that invites laughter, celebration, and maybe just a little fabulous mischief. The bartenders? Absolute pros. Warm, welcoming, and clearly masters of their craft. Naturally, I ordered my classic gin and tonic, and it was perfection in a glass -- crisp, balanced, and exactly what a proper G&T should be. I heard from the birthday boy and his wonderful wife that the owners were incredibly accommodating, and you could feel that hospitality throughout the entire evening. Everything felt effortless and welcoming -- the kind of place where people clearly care about creating a great night. And then... the party truly began. We had drag queens serving glamour and joy, music, laughter echoing through the room, and pizza delivered from the birthday boy's favorite local pizza spot that honestly deserves its own standing ovation. If you want to know where that pizza came from, drop a comment -- because it was outrageously good. By the end of the night I couldn't stop thinking: this place really is a Hidden Gem. A perfect little pocket of St. Louis where good drinks, great people, and a bit of fabulous chaos come together. Sparkle-tastic. Gem-tastic. Pure joy. Highly recommend discovering this hidden gem for yourself. -- Big Daddy Tedd Energy

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!
