We stopped in for drinks, so I went with the WhistlePig 12 while my wife had one of their cocktails, and both were on point. Our server was friendly, professional, and kept everything moving without hovering. We didn't eat this time, but the place definitely earned a return trip when the weather warms up. If you're around the Arch and looking for a cool place to grab a drink with a killer view, put this one on the list.

The space is well-laid out, and all the festive decorations only added to the experience. You can also step out onto several balconies to look over the city skyline. Despite it being a packed evening due to multiple conferences in town, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. For food, we tried the pizza, and it did not disappoint. The cocktails were delicious, and they even offer fun specialty drinks during these themed events. If I find myself back in St. Louis, this is definitely a spot I would make an effort to visit again.

The cocktail list is solid, and the beer selection is seriously impressive, packed with a great mix of local breweries and unique options. There's also a nice outdoor seating area, but honestly, the magic of this spot is at the bar. The atmosphere there really brings everything together. One of the coolest touches is the large display of vinyl records, it adds a ton of character and gives the whole place a unique, almost nostalgic energy. We didn't try the food this time since we just stopped in for drinks, but it's definitely on the list for next visit. Looking forward to coming back and spending more time enjoying this gem of a spot.

I was in need of killing time before a crochet lesson down the street and I thought enjoying a cocktail was a good idea. I was able to get a seat at the bar and immediately starting reading the menu of their signature cocktails. I went with, Sign Painter. It was served in a fluted glass and was made with rye whiskey. I'm a big fan of rye and I found this drink very refreshing. I am a cocktail snob, I enjoy a well made cocktail. Being a snob, I want a mixologist that prepares a masterful cocktail. Enjoying my cocktail and watching the gentleman working behind the bar, I can honestly say, he is a masterful bartender. This visit, I did not order any food items. However, seeing the food severed around me, I'll definitely be back to enjoy to enjoy some Crab Stuffed Mushrooms or a Crab Cake Sandwich. The inside of the bar is compact. In addition to the bar sitting, there's a row of booths along the wall. Beyond the barroom, is a backroom that's is pretty comfy and classy, too. In front of the building is a welcoming patio, that I'll be back to check out in better weather. After just one visit, I know I'll be back. If I still lived in STL, I'd probably be a regular. When: January 21, 2026 Why: Killing time with a cocktail.

They offered thoughtful recommendations and made the experience feel easy and enjoyable. I've now tried the restaurant in several ways--dining at the bar for supper and drinks, ordering room service, and placing a carryout/togo order--and each experience has been consistently positive. The wings are an easy choice and a standout option. The burger I ordered was actually from the kids' menu, yet it came in a surprisingly generous portion. The accompanying sweet sauce wasn't quite to my taste, but the French fries were excellent. The salmon was cooked perfectly and made for a satisfying meal. If I ordered it again, I would likely substitute the sweet purée for another side, simply based on my personal preference. The atmosphere has an upscale feel without becoming overly formal, making it a comfortable spot for pre-gaming before a night out or enjoying a nightcap. Between the attentive service, reliable ordering options, and food highlights like the wings, fries, and salmon, I've had consistently good experiences and would gladly order from here again.

Be sure not to park in the garage across the street. Once you receive your parking ticket, Loews Hotel will validate it. As for the food, I found it to be somewhat inconsistent. The meal started with bread and butter, which was delicious. The crab cake was also very good. The Caesar salad was a bit bland, and although we requested no anchovies, they were still included. For our entrees, I ordered the half lobster, which was cooked well and enjoyable. My husband ordered the filet, and it was also very good. The broccolini was just okay and had better. For dessert, we tried the salted chocolate ice cream, which was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, the flaming crème brûlée was disappointing. It is brought to the table while still on fire, requiring you to wait for the flame to burn out before eating. Once it was ready, the top lacked the traditional crisp shell that you expect to crack with a spoon. Instead, there was an unpleasant flavor that seemed to come from either the alcohol or fuel used for the presentation. I think the dessert would be much better if it were finished properly in the kitchen and served without the tableside flame. One of the highlights of the experience was the atmosphere. The interior is beautiful and inviting, and there is also a great outdoor area for those who want to stop in for drinks at the bar or enjoy a lighter meal outside.

I lived in St. Louis from 2013 to 2020, and during that time, the Crack Fox almost singlehandedly kept the Downtown bar scene alive. Six years later, I am back in STL for work--just four days, but I had to make sure I checked in here, at a bar I can now safely say is truly special. My current city has no comparable equivalent. Bars like The Crack Fox--that is, neighborhood dive bars that make great cocktails, with actual character and passion--bars that care more about what they do than the money they make doing it... these bars are rare. They're rarer than I thought they'd be back in 2020. You've got something special here, St. Louis. Take care of it.

We arrived a little after 11 and found a space in the back parking lot. The lot is convenient as it's pretty well-lit and is diagonal from the CF. We entered through the back where the deck is and walked right in. Upon first glance, you'll notice the hanging lights above the entrance and then after a few feet, the bar is immediately to the right. The tables are all along the left side as to make a walkway for the bar (super convenient). Due it being their anniversary, it was a bit crowded but not too bad where you couldn't get a drink or walk through. My usual go-to is a flavored vodka (three olives grape) and sprite. While they had a plethora of spirits, sadly this wasn't one of them. They had other flavored vodkas but I opted to get a simple Cosmo while my friend got a makers and coke. The Cosmo was just what I needed and might I add, well made!After we got our drinks, we did a quick walk through of the other side called The Oddities (coming soon), as well as the upstairs that overlooks the entire place. The stairs are steep, so it would behoove you to hold on to the railing. While I love trying new places, I was a bit apprehensive because I thought I'd stick out like a sore thumb. Turns out, everyone was friendly, the drinks are great, and the music wasn't bad! They had different acts going on for this particular evening (I'm not sure if this is the norm), but I know my friend is a regular on Tuesday's for karaoke. I do intend to come back and try out some more drinks and food and check out the other place once it officially opens.
