"Who knew a liquor store could be an experience?" Total Wine…read more& More is not your average liquor store -- it is an experience. Walking through those doors felt like stepping into the wine-and-spirits version of Costco or Sam's Club: expansive, well-organized, and full of pleasant surprises around every corner. One of the biggest highlights? Free tastings and samples throughout the store. There was even a private room where a gentleman was leading what appeared to be an educational tasting or teaching session -- a nice touch that elevates the whole visit. Prices are reasonable, the selection is enormous, and the customer service is genuinely excellent. Shopping carts are available so you can browse at leisure and stock up without juggling bottles in your arms. With approximately four locations throughout the St. Louis area, there's likely one near you. Please -- when given the opportunity, check it out. It is absolutely worth the trip.

I had to see what was there. They have wine tasting. That was a surprise. A young lady walked to me. She couldn't have timed it more perfectly. I wanted some help finding the tequila. She asked if i needed any help. I told her that I was looking for Clase Azul. She said what size. She took me to a case and showed it to me. I asked if they had a smaller bottle. It said it does online. She told me I had to go up front and tell the cashier what I wanted. Then they will get it from another locked case. I explained to the cashier that I wanted to 2 of the different sized bottles to compare. Afterwards I will decide on which one I was going to purchase. I looked at the two bottles and decided to get the larger bottle. I was extremely satisfied with the customer service. She even got me to sign up to be a rewards member. I get a free bottle of wine for my birthday . There is plenty of parking in this strip mall. I looking forward to trying this tequila. I actually got it because I want the bottle. The top of the bottle is a bell. I wish I knew the history behind this. I almost forgot. For those that like cigars they have that too.

Stopped here for lunch over a weekend with a friend. Very cool place, with lots of local food. We…read moreeven got to do a wine tasting with some Italian wine. For lunch they have a deli with sandwiches. I ordered the hot mortadella sandwich without pickles. I got a combo with a drink and chips. Food came out quickly and was tasty.

I will def go again.

After making a reservation, I heard on social media that this place may be closing soon, but there…read morewas no indication of that on the restaurant's website or in-house. We arrived right on time for our reservation, stood for quite a few minutes in a half-empty house before being seated, then waited a very long time between visits from our apparently over-stretched waitstaff. The first cocktail I chose wasn't available; nor was the first entree. I settled on the "red wine flight", and it arrived in three glasses. The server recited their names, but I didn't catch them. Food was middle of the road. A smoked sirloin sandwich was tasty, though rather well-done. And the order of "salmon cakes", which the menu says is made of "smoked salmon, roast corn, tomato, cucumber, creme fraiche, and capers" was in fact just one cake (not cakes!), smaller than a hockey puck (about 1/2" thick max) and seemed to be made of canned fish, not the bright orange of smoked salmon. It was accompanied by five thin slices of cucumber and three or four halved grape tomatoes. No corn, no capers. It was so boring, and an overpriced disappointment at $23. If this Bridge is actually closing and focusing on the event space, they've gone out with a whimper. And if they're actually continuing service, I hope they get the food a little closer to the menu descriptions. Our drinks and water glasses were empty for long stretches. Our server was very pleasant and polite, but must've had way too much to do.

The food- 3 of 4 of us said it was just ok. The other really liked theirs. We had 2 different pastas & 2 different sandwiches. Calabrian carbonara & citrus fettuccine. They were both kinda bland & not much flavor. Large portions. Wagyu reuben & smoked french. The reuben was a hit. The smoked french was too smoky. We had the pumpkin ricotta appetizer. It was pretty tasty. And the caesar was a large portion & decent flavor.

Their sour was super interesting and funky and I'm still thinking about it. They also have sparking water they brew with their hops which is super yummy!

Upon arrival there were maybe 20 single beers total in the packaged coolers (4-5 cans of 4 or five brands.) Shelves were basically empty except for their own merch.

This location feels a little hidden, but it's there if you're searing for it! There's a big parking lot with lots of space. I walked in and saw lots of specials on bottles and picked up a bottle of Pinot Grigio for myself ($4.99) and explored the rest of the store. It's super well organized and labeled to find what you're looking for. Whatever you need, I would assume they have it. I don't typically purchase mini bottles of champs or Prosecco because they can be pretty pricy, but I found 4 mini bottles for $8.99 which in my opinion is a steal. Staff was friendly and helpful, and I definitely plan on returning to do some wine exploring :)

Aaron might even be an upgrade if that's possible, a certified sommelier and former liquor distributor, he's also a professional musician.

Although they have some very unusual expensive whisky and wine not easily found elsewhere, they also have a healthy selection of affordable wine, do NOT be hesitant to start with your budget and allow for recommendations. The building itself is interesting, and wide open space inside. Easy parking.

I was looking for something specific; couldn't find it so went to the register to ask for help. One of the staff was ringing someone up and the other four looked like they were trying to find something on the register or a computer and didn't even look up. Finally, one of them did and when I asked he showed me the location of the item I was looking for. I like to wander around and look, so I did that. People coming and going, steadily busy. When I was ready to check out, I was asked if I was a rewards member, I said no. No follow up, no asking if I wanted to join, nothing. There was also a sign next to the register for a drawing that was to occur that night, the qualifier was a purchase amount which I exceeded. Just like the rewards, I was given no information, not offered an entry, again nothing. Also, no smile, no friendliness, nothing. I won't waste my time coming here again. Other places I go are way too friendly and helpful and seem to care that I am a customer. I didn't get that here at all. I was in the area, and they were listed as having the item I was looking for, next time I will go out of my way to go somewhere else.

They have a small bar area where they have eight beers on tap - some great local craft beer choices as well. You can have a pour of whiskey from the menu or purchase a bottle of wine and pay a $10 corking fee to drink it at the bar. If you are a whiskey drinker, you will be very happy with the selection of pours at the bar. They also have tiered whiskey flights!
