If you know, you know. And when you do, you'll have the time of your life…read more Heads-up, the signage of this classic 1920's themed bar is minimal. There's a small sidewalk sign and then you have to figure out how to open the door from the street. Once inside the small butcher shop, you gotta figure out where the secrete passage is. Once inside, you'll be blown away by the vintage 1920's ambiance. There's approximately 4 or 5 stools at the bar and several seating areas with plush sofas and overstuffed chairs. If you prefer a table with chairs, they've got that, too. Whatever you like, you can find a comfortable seat to enjoy your cocktail. The cocktails are masterfully made and served up in classic vintage glasses. I enjoyed a Dirty Gin Martini and a Rye Manhattan. Both cocktails were smooth as silk and the presentation was stellar. I gotta go back and have another Martini, I forgot to take a picture. It looked so good, I just started drinking. When I typically order a Martini, I tell the mixologist to "make it skate". Chatting with the bartender about what Gin to use, I forgot to request that detail. To my delight, when the cocktail was placed in front of me, it had the "make it skate" detail. I love that thin topping of ice chips on my martini. While sipping classic cocktails, sometimes you need a little nosh and The Speakeasy has that, too. I choose the Spinach Artichoke Dip and it was rich in flavor. The mixture of the artichoke with the spinach in cream cheese went perfectly with the super thin crackers. I hope they are still offering it when I go back for another martini. The two bartenders were exceptional. Both of them were very personable, making my time sitting at the bar enjoyable. If you haven't been, go find The Speakeasy and then you'll know.

I ordered one of the gin specials as it was National Gin Day. The drink was delicious and beautiful, so I ordered two! This is my kind of place, darker and quiet without too many people, and a super fun ambiance. The bartender, I believe she said her name was Carrie, was very helpful and friendly. I ordered the charcuterie board and it was beautifully presented and large as well. I will be back, with friends!

They began with Christmas and knocked it out of the park. We hit up many Christmas pop-up bars and Tinseltown had the tastiest and prettiest cocktails, hands down. Everything on the menu was delicious. They are now set up as a Valentines Day and Mardi Gras pop-up bar and once again, the attention to detail is spot on. They added an array of foods including steak kabobs and frites, several fried apps, charcuterie boards, and mini cheesecakes made by a local baker. You make reservations on Tok and the $5 per person reservation fee goes to a local charity, which I love! Look out for more seasonal treats in the future and get a reservation! You won't be disappointed!

They were good but a couple bones had very little meat. The apple "cobbler" consisted of apples with some oats on top... no crust or dough at all. It wasn't sweet or bad but definitely not what I'm used to when it comes to fruit cobblers. They may need to reconsider the name. Service was fast and under 15 minutes for a to go order. The restaurant was decent but empty and I noticed a few other people ordering carry out instead of dining in.

Typically leaving just "concessions".. you know pizza slices, hot dogs... "ballpark filler" Enter stage left... Longshots Atmosphere: Country music vibe (something desperately missing from the Mo/IL st. Louis scene. (As much as I loved Honky Tonk's... when thst's pretty much all there is) With new bands every day the restaurant is open. It just happened I picked "Nelly Day" to spend the day at, so things were running later than usual - so thr live band for lunch was a little later than normal. (And they were closing for "Special events".) So the atmosphere from the servers and bartenders was kind of hard to judge due to the awkward hours but if the few here today were the norm... you will be in Good hands So the food: Reasonably healthy portions for the burgers and pizza (of corse all with a bzrbecue flavor... maybe next time I'll definitely hit the Pork Pit. But obviously expect somewhat higher prices ($$$ of 5 in my opinion) So expect higher prices as part of the Fairmont Park Complex but you cannot complain about the fact that Longshots is a much needed addition to making Fairmont Park a FULL entertainment experience.

The place is always clean and the staff always friendly so check, check on bare minimum on my standards scale. Food-wise I actually really like the French onion soup and the burgers I've had are actually on the better than good side. This last time I ordered the cajun mushroom Swiss and it was very tasty!
