Came here for the first time and felt like a regular! Michelle is a force of nature. She not only creates amazing cocktails, wonderful popcorn and the best blue cheese stuffed olives you'll ever taste, but also creates an environment that is warm, welcoming and friendly. Every drink our group had was outstanding and if we needed another one, it just seemed to magically appear. This is the standard by which all cocktail bars should be managed. read more

The drinks are amazingly good ~ popcorn free on the bar. No food, except frozen pizza available. Cleanest bar/lounge around! Quiet atmosphere. read more

I could say much more but i'm going to keep it short and sweet. Michelle was the best bartender i've seen in a long time. Busy or not, she provides quick and accurate service and makes you feel heard as a customer. We love you and we will be back! The cotton candy martini was nothing short of delicious but we will be back for the screaming orgasm read more

Stopped in on a Saturday night to check out this swanky place. Let me tell you, this place you must try, they have alot, and I mean a lot of martinis for everyone's palate. We were greeted by the amazing owner Michelle with this mysterious bowl of sweet and salty popcorn. She was super attentive and accommodating and super friendly too! We chatted with her about her Wednesday night specials and food menus and such. We went with a blueberry martini, which was awesome too. The ambiance in this place is truly unique and relaxing. You must experience St. James lounge, you will not regret it. We WILL BE BACK! read more

You can get food they bring it in and she serves it to you with amazing service! Its amazing food from across the street! read more

I'm still new to Neenah and getting used to this area. I was invited to join friends at St. James Lounge and was pleasantly impressed by it's intimate ambiance. It reminds me of a speakeasy from a movie during the Prohibition era, in the best possible way, large bar area, plus tables, sofas and comfy chairs too. The group I was with was large, and there was another group there the same night but the sole bartender, whom I was told is also the owner, is not only a wonder, she is graceful and beautiful as well, handled the crowd with ease and expertise. She made me a Chocolate Twist martini when most of the crowd was having the tap beer specials. I discovered I can only drink one martini or I will have to crawl home. LOL. It is not a Sports bar so it's easier to have a conversation and not be distracted by rowdy patrons. I would recommend this place if you just want to relax after a long day, or enjoy a date with someone special. I probably will find myself there more frequently because it is not only a fantastic business, it's close to home too. read more

Huge variety of Martis to choose from, in addition to wines and full bar. Service is excellent! Michelle such a great hostess and is always on top of things. Relaxed atmosphere and occasional live music are great. read more

To be honest I was skeptical. Martinis aren't my thing. A friend suggested we meet here and I had no clue. Every drink was delicious though and Michelle was very attentive and personable. Even the popcorn (which I usually ignore) was a treat. I do wish they had some food, but I suppose it does label itself a cocktail lounge. Definitely pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. read more

I tried the martinis at St. James with my boyfriend and I was highly unimpressed with them. I started off with the Peppermint Martini and it was good, however, it had chunks of ice in it. My boyfriend wanted a hot and spicy martini, so the bartender made him a "hot momma." It included 2 olives. It did not look good when she presented it to him and when I asked him how it was, I could tell by the look on his face that he was not enjoying it. There were chunks of ice floating in this martini too. The drink pouring skills from the bartender need work. Next up was the Johnny. It was Gin with a splash of scotch. Yuck! I watched as she poured 8 shots of Gin into the shaker and it made me cringe. I could smell the pine needles. It was so bad that neither one of us could drink it and we politely passed it forward and asked for something else. He ordered a Bloody martini and said it was OK. This martini came with 3 pickles, as a garnish and also some ice cubes. Were ice cubes a theme last night? In the spirit of the Christmas season, I ordered a Poinsettia martini. I left 1/2 of it, because it just wasn't worth drinking. I love bourbon. I asked if they had any martini's with bourbon in them. She told me she could substitute bourbon in for something else. That was all the help I got. Hence, no bourbon martini for me. Looks and presentation mean a lot when making martinis and these lacked both. The bar itself is very cute and clean. My boyfriend was not happy when the bartender wanted to run his card without telling him what his total was. He had to ask a couple times in order to have her print a receipt for us. Why? Martini's are my favorite things to drink, so I may be a bit of a snob, but I surely will not be returning to St. James. I spend 1/2 of my time in Green Bay and 1/2 in Appleton, so I will continue to frequent The Standard and Co in Green Bay (I've never had a bad martini there and their drink list is 10x more impressive than St. James') and when I am in Appleton, I will head to Deja Vu on College Ave. read more

Martinis were great and the atmosphere was super cool and retro. Kinda had an old school vibe with some class which is hard to find for the younger generations like myself. The owner/bartender is super friendly so we'll be sure to come back. read more

We thoroughly enjoy coming here. If you want an upscale drink with a nice atmosphere this is the place to come. The music is kept at a volume that still allows conversation. Get martinis, mixers, wine and beer. Can't say enough about Michelle's St James. read more

My wife and I have been stopping here for years. Good martinis and the free popcorn is tasty. Michelle the owner/bartender is friendly and engaging. Place is dimly lit and has a somewhat cozy/romantic atmosphere. They have more than just martinis (beer/mixed drinks) if you prefer. The martini list is pretty long. We like the raspberry burst and sandy smoothie the best. Wednesday night is $5 martini night! Not all are available at the price but I believe there are 20+ to choose from. Also, they have karaoke some nights of the week; though I think it moves nights done times so call to ask. read more

Great martini menu! So many to choose from! Cozy interior with lounge area to sit, as well as cocktail tables and bar.

Michelle makes the best martinis in the Valley. They are generous and tasty! She is also willing to make any adjustment to patrons' personal preferences. She also has popcorn that is simply amazing! It is a gem in the Village of Fox Crossing!! read more

St. James makes the best martini's in the area. Michelle (owner) is a phenomenal bartender. When it's really busy she still manages to be a better bartender then most places, and she works alone. Her bar is always very clean and classy. read more

My friends and I enjoy going to the St James often. Michelle is awesome and so are her martinis. This is a great place for date night or even for a woman to go enjoy a martini alone. I highly recommend it. Love this place!!! read more
