    Stumbled upon Hammerstone's and was not disappointed with the Saturday live music. Chill atmosphere, great drinks, and food! The band was friendly and engaged with the audience.

    Hubby and I were doing a historical walking tour of Soulard and stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday around 11am. And, we were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and everything on the menu was so affordably priced. I ordered the vegetarian 3-egg omelet filled with spinach and Swiss cheese and Irish potatoes and rye toast as my sides. Our server was great. The inside is definitely bar atmosphere. I'd like to try sitting out on their nice patio area next time.

    This is a fantastic boozy, bluesy, divey and overall fun bar. Drinks are stiff, the bars are great, patrons are friendly.

    This is a cozy little bar with a nice outdoor patio. We went to hear the band, Soulard Blues Band so we stayed inside. It has a lot of atmosphere, kind of divey, but good, with quite a few people who looked like regulars at the bar. The food was very good and the music was great!

    Went hike this morning. Friend picked Hammerstones for Brunch. Nice day and real crowded. I ordered 2 eggs breakfast with Irish potatoes, bacons and toasted wheat breads. They were very good. Bacons smoked tasty and it was good. I'd come back again. Thank you

    Hammerstone's is located in historic Soulard in St. Louis. Established in 1997, Hammerstone's occupies a building that dates back to the late 19th century, originally serving as a tavern. Hammerstone's is a fun brunch spot that's definitely worth a visit. The omelets are fantastic, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The hash browns are equally impressive, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Loved this brunch on the patio.

    Hammerstone's Famous Chicken Tenders and Fries & German Wedding Soup
    Michelle L.

    I had not been in here in years but was here on a recent weeknight to meet a friend for an early dinner. The server sold me on their soup special, German Wedding Soup. It was like Italian Wedding Soup but with bratwurst instead of meatballs. I was intrigued. I ordered that and the 1/2 order of chicken tenders and fries which turned out to be a $5 happy hour special. Everything got delivered at once. I enjoyed the soup but felt like it was overly salty. The chicken tenders are hand breaded with a tempura batter and tossed in corn flakes. I really liked the texture of the batter and these would have been great except they had no seasoning at all. The fries were a basic crinkle cut but fried crispy the way I like them. The honey mustard was a good one. My dinner date enjoyed the same soup and a burger. Service was friendly but definitely different than the regulars at the bar were getting. Excellent value on the happy hour menu! I'm sure you're here for the music and the atmosphere rather than the food. I'll be back!

    Yummy uncarbonated peach tea. They also have mango and watermelon

    Who knew Hammerstones had breakfast? I didn't either, until my daughter suggested it. We sat down right upon arrival at a bar table and were quickly greeted by our waitress. I ordered a bloody Mary and thought it was perfectly seasoned and flavorful, not too spicy, but just the right flavor. Everyone got something different, so we could try a variety of items. Breakfast pizza, French toast, two egg breakfast, and the chicken and biscuit sandwich. The inside was not too loud for how crowded it was, but they also had patio seating available. I could have hung out there all day on the patio, but my teenage kids had other plans for the day, lol! If you are looking for a good brunch spot in Soulard or a place to start your day drinking, go visit Hammerstones. You'll be glad you did!

    The owners are super fabulous! I came for an event during the 12 hours of charity and the owners are on site and really encouraging customers to donate to charity without pressuring them. The staff was so friendly and outgoing. I never had an empty drink in my hand. The bartenders are constantly checking on us, as well as other staff members coming around. It was definitely different than what I'm used to, usually you have to get the bartenders attention to be able to get a drink this is not the case here everyone was very Attentive. The band was great they played every music, and I will definitely be returning to this far in the future! The pricing was very reasonable. I would say below what I typically spend at a bar, and they offered great food as well.

    Beyond Burger and Broccoli (I had eaten most of the broccoli)
    Deyna J.

    Came here to sit on the patio during a beautiful late summer Sunday. Nice patio, we could hear the live music playing inside which was fun. Ordered the fried green tomatoes and Beyond Burger with Broccoli. Boyfriend had a burger and fries. Drinks we ordered were the Diablito (no rim) and the Prickly Pear Margarita. We both preferred the Diablito. Food was good, no complaints. The service was ok. After we got the check it took 15 mins for her to return to take the payment. It's not that big of the deal but we were ready to go.

    After a long bike ride, the group decided to stop in Soulard for food. This was the next place to accommodate a group of 6. And it was lively as soon as we pulled up. I believe the owner greeted us, and informed us about the live music and the birthday celebration going on. We took that as an invitation to go on in haha. It was pretty crowded but we were able to find seats at a bar outdoors. We had to get the attention of the waitress after a few minutes because it was pretty busy. But they made sure to get our orders before leaving. Fortunately, a tad later, a group at a table leaving offered their table to us, which we accepted. It took a while to get the food. Which is understandable because of the event and busyness of the place. I got the chili Mac and salad. The chili Mac, which I look up via Yelp to try (Thanks Jason P.), was good. I think the chili by itself would've been awesome during the cold, non biking weather. This was a lighter version with the Mac. Nice flavor. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food as well, which people mostly got sandwiches or burger. This is a good spot to try.

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!

We came right on time and were sat immediately. The inside was lively and buzzing. Right after we were sat, our server came to introduce himself and take our drink order. To start, we each go a Caesar salad, we split an order of calamari, and I got the flower power to drink. I was warned before hand that the drink I chose would be an "experience" but that I should enjoy it. An experience would be an understatement. The salad was good and I loved the croutons, although they were a bit tough. The calamari was quite tasty and seasoned well. As for my drink, let's just say I was NOT prepared. The drink itself wasn't the problem but more so the buzz flower that accompanied it. You're supposed to eat the flower first and then drink. It comes with a glass of prosecco as a palate cleanser but I don't feel as though it did much. I'd say that flower kicked in within 15 minutes and ultimately, that's when things took a turn. At first it felt like pop rocks in my mouth and then I started to feel awful. While the chaos was going on, I managed to eat my blackened salmon, which was delicious. The slaw was so-so and I could have done without the beans and rice. All in all, we had a lovely visit aside from the drink.

We had an upcoming night out, and wanted to get drinks. We figured we would finally take the plunge and just do both our meals and drinks at Frazer's. I love the neighborhood Frazer's is in. I like the general vibe of the restaurant. In the past we have had good experiences with the drinks. For us on this night the food experience fell very flat. It started with the cheese/tomato soup that I got with my burger. It was flavorless and tasted like water lightly infused with some tomato and cheese flavor. My medium burger was well done. Maybe even a step past well done, and was not edible. My wife's meal was good, but forgettable. The drinks were still good, but the poor food quality was a huge let down. The last part that dampened the mood was where we sat. They have a modest outdoor patio and then seating on the sidewalk along the front. We had put in a reservation for outdoor seating. As we walked up there was one table on the very far side of the sidewalk seating almost into a parking lot. I turned to my wife and said "I hope that isn't us." It was. It was just an awkward spot. It also mean that our server didn't check in with us that much. So overall, great spot for drinks. Really outstanding drinks. For the food though, go check out any of the dozen other establishments nearby that are better.
