    Outside Patio
    Cassandra S.

    The bartenders are super friendly. We arrived on a trivia night and the staff did not disappoint. It's a smaller bar but more quant. I like that they have booths and the outside is nice - we'll decorated with art! The inside is just as decorated and very unique. It's kind of similar to a horseshoe shape. That bad area itself is a nice size. The drinks are pretty standard for pricing. Never had a disappointing night here! Highly recommended to check out! It's a blast!

    Spinach and Cheese HandlePie

    Came in on a Saturday night and got to meet the amazing owner, Tatyana Telnikova. I enjoyed some drinks on draft, bartender choice on the patio, and the spinach and cheese handle pie. I can now say I've tried all of the handle pies, and they each are uniquely delicious. The bar is inclusive, and every single person who works there is welcoming and friendly. The ambiance is a homage to cycling with beautiful art murals throughout. They also use aluminum drinking cups to keep your drinks chilled. I love this place!

    Supreme pizza with cauliflower crust

    The people here are great! Large facility with a nice back patio and live music! They have a great selection of signature cocktails, and delicious snacks! I ordered the Forgive and Fornet drink, which was so delicious, I ordered it twice! I also got the spinach, feta, and ricotta "Hamdlepie" which was delicious. The only reason for a 4-star instead of 5-star review is because I ordered a supreme pizza, and I didn't like the sauce, and could only see a couple of ingredients, but overall, I just didn't really like the taste of it, but I think most people do, so, try it for yourself!

    Seating inside and bar and pool table

    This place is the best vibe! Packed inside for a Thursday but worth it. Seating inside and out back. Great music. Photo booth and pool table. Great art work throughout the joint. And Tito's did a brief visit with free shots!

    Are you looking for a chill Sunday Funday? Handle bar in Tower Grove might be the move for you. The service is prompt and Cam the bartendar is super helpful. They had the vibes going with a live band playing, pool , and a Photo Booth. I only went for cocktails but next time I will have to try out the pizza and apps!

    Only outdoor seating right now. Order from your phone. New tab each order. Menu has changed, not updated yet. Food still delicious and an awesome spot to visit! @stl.foodie

    Bingo night
    Winnie C.

    Someone told me about the cocktails of this place so decided to give it a try. I ordered their Master & Margarita. Honestly, I didn't quite enjoy the taste (a bit tasteless) but the drink was very strong which I couldn't complain! We also ordered beet fries which I was neutral about. We were there on a Wednesday night which was their Bingo night. The host dressed like a drag queen and he/she was hilarious. Not lots of ppl showed up that night but that didn't stop him/her from putting on spontaneous performances. Overall, it was an entertaining experience. Perfect spot to grab a drink if you are by yourself as well.

    Arrived a bit before 6 pm on a Friday and it was totally dead, maybe 2 other patrons inside. We wanted a bite and had to scan the QR code on the table to find a menu that didn't describe the food items to our satisfaction so we had to bother a server to ask what was in the HandlePies, what was in the toasted ravs, what's a RIP Stix... A bit annoying. We ordered HandlePies, the Meat Lovers Pizza, and a couple drinks. The food came out in decent time, the drinks a little before that. Everything was decent, just not memorable. Things were priced right. Service was okay. The interior is fun looking and apparently they schedule lots of events to bring people together. But for us, on that night, it was just OK.

    Prepared cranberry infused Moscow mules
    Kris B.

    Despite everything going on with Quarantine, Handlebar has adapted very well! I was a regular here in the "olden days", during which I loved this place for their unique speciality cocktails and great dancing scene. I can't dance here nowadays of course, but I'm happy to report that their cocktail game is stronger than ever! I ordered their cranberry infused Moscow Mule kit to enjoy with friends (at a distance of course). Ordering online was very simple and the order was ready for curbside pickup right on time and the person who brought me my order was in full PPE. It was a little pricier than I expected, but here's why it was worth every penny: First off, hats off to the owner for the expertly inside vodka. We had a shot (or two..) of the vodka on its own before hand, which was delicious and went down easy. Definitely glad we saved plenty for the cocktails though! In combination with the ginger beer and fresh limes, this was a great twist on a classic drink. They were very easy to sip on throughout the evening. I also want to add that the kit gave us about ~10-12 drinks worth of supplies. Well worth the price from a $ per drink standpoint too! Very happy to see this place showing off its strengths during this unpredictable time. Will be back for their kits next weekend too!

    The dance floor is tons of fun! There's a couple nice patios to go and chill. The Photo Booth is a big hit too!

    Stop 1 on The Grove bar crawl of Sept 2019. Pretty cool bike themed place seemed like a good a spot to start. Nice open area out back.

    I was @ this place on Sat night & they had promised to email me the pic they took. My boyfriend & I had just gotten engaged, so I really had hoped they would. Do you know what happened to those pics?

    Those photos are taken by the promoter of that night. If it was a Saturday try searching Facebook for the page "London Calling." They are usually posted there. And congrats!
