    I came here for karaoke on a Friday night with a friend for the first time since 2010. The venue has had a lot of upgrades since then. There was suprisingly ample street parking right outside the venue. When you come in, it's low lighting and intimate. The bar staff are very friendly. I will say my first drink was a bit too iced out for me so it was really hard to even taste or enjoy the alcoholic beverage that lied beneath the iceberg that the Titanic hit. It was a lavender mint julep sort of drink that would probably gain more traction as a martini to be honest. All the drinks I ordered after that was their house made peach infused vodka with soda. The flavoring of the vodka was delightful and it was a much better cocktail. They also serve pizza. I had a buffalo chicken pizza and it's a bit much for my gut! Cheers!

    The food was gas station frozen food. Very overpriced but appreciated at 2 am. Barron was our bartender and whipped up the best pot or Marsala chai. So flavorful and Barron was amazing. The vibe is chill with palo santo softly burning it was such a calm chill vibe.

    This place was a dive. I went there because there was a burlesque show (pre-COVID) and the burlesque show was great, but the place is not clean and really makes you feel dirty when you leave. I guess they have their fans but I don't see how this place stays open.

    The Crack Fox! It can be easy to overlook this interesting spot when you're thinking of places downtown. They have dj nights, karaoke nights, and my personal favorite drag. They regulars seem to be whimsical, into metal, and incredible kind. It's a very unassuming bar where you can get great drinks at a reasonable price. They keep the dive-y spirit alive with their Dogtown pizza option for food. They adamantly don't sell AB products, but that's okay with me because they have Miller Lite, a personal fave. Their full bar and local craft beer selection would keep anyone happy. Come for the convenience when you're downtown, stay for the quirky uniqueness!

    Bottom Line: Goth/Black Leather/Black Hair Feel, Super Friendly Lady Bartender, Memorable Overview: After stopping in at the Thaxton Speakeasy, my friend and I stopped in at the Crack Fox. My first time. Tonight, they had DJ Chrome along with some cat of nine tales(?) beatings on these 'X'-style crucifixes (is that the correct plural usage?). Drinks: They had a beer that was decent. That's all I got and all I recall of their selection. Atmosphere: I think most of the goth contingent of STL was in the house. (Yes, I'm a white guy.) Quite the scene and quite hospitable. I felt welcome hanging out in my 'Lion's Choice' retro T-Shirt and shorts. Music: As I mentioned, they had DJ Chrome spinning. I think KMFDM, Rammstein, etc. are some of the more accessible bands he played. Honestly, I don't recall exactly, but I think the aforementioned bands should give you a clue what they play here.

    So much fun although the service wasn't great and the person managing the karaoke was a little rude.

    The bartender gave me a free umbrella so I could stroll around the city mid rainstorm in comfort. Enough said. 5 stars.

    I have to say Nikki and Carrie are definitely two of the best bartenders in Saint Louis.

    If you know, you know... and if you don't, you're about to feel very in-the-know…read more Tucked away in true speakeasy fashion, NOTA is one of those places that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto a secret you almost don't want to share. Moody lighting, cozy corners, and an effortlessly cool vibe make it the kind of spot where time slows down in the best way. We stopped in for their Sunday late night happy hour (8-11pm) and honestly? Elite move. The energy was relaxed but still buzzy, perfect for winding down the weekend without feeling like the night is over. The cocktails are art. Every drink feels intentional, balanced, and a little unexpected in the best way. You can tell the bartenders really know their craft. Whether you go classic or adventurous, you're in very good hands -- especially during happy hour when trying a couple different options feels very justified. What really seals the deal is the overall mood. It's date-night perfect, ideal for catching up with friends, or impressing out-of-towners who think they've "seen all of St. Louis." Service is warm without being overbearing, and the experience feels elevated without a hint of pretentiousness. Don't rush. Order another round. Let Sunday stretch a little longer.

    NOTA is such a great night out with immaculate vibes! The entrance is unassuming and…read morenon-descriptive with no signage, really living up to the speakeasy idea. I recommend placing a reservation online to ensure you can get in. Our group of 4 were seated quickly, and upon entering we could see that the place was filled. The waitress for us was incredible. She offered great recommendations and answered the question we had well, including getting to know our flavor preferences to make the best suggestion. The drinks are fantastic. All super classic but unique. My favorite was the espresso martini, which had a great slightly sweet tastes without the strong alcohol taste. I hope to be back for their happy hour sometime soon!
