Stopped into the Saturn Lounge and instantly loved the vibe. This place has such a chill, laid-back feel that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. 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. read more

The Saturn Lounge is an upscale neighborhood dive bar. Can a dive bar be upscale? It can be if it's a bar like, The Saturn Lounge. It was my first visit to, TSL and I was impressed. 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. read more

Very cool record-themed listening bar with inventive cocktails and tasty food. Chill atmosphere and a great patio out front. Staff is friendly and this is a great place to start or end an evening along Cherokee Street read more

It's a very cool lounge. 2 rooms. Records on the wall. Very brown and dark with records on the wall and music playing. Order at the bar. This is not my favorite. But the bartender was quick and the food, mac and cheese, came out in no time. The winter sangria was a serious drink. Not a punchy, fruity sangria. This was a winey sangria. It was a pretty serious drink. I'd probably get a weaker, sweeter drink next time, because that is my taste. The mac and cheese was pretty good. Quite hot! It came packed in this little bowl. I felt so cozy here... It made for one of my preferred eating out in the city in winter experiences. read more

Welcoming as ever, the lighting, the music, everything about the Saturn lounge was a hit from the jump. The Pompous Moose was like an old fashion made for summer, light, refreshing, had its roots where they were supposed to be but was comfortably shifted towards the hot months. Food menu begs for a second, fifth or sixth visit to try everything worth while (entire menu is seemingly worth while). Adder provided pleasant conversation, both of us with similar experiences coming from coastal living to the Lou. read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while. First, the enchanting patio invites you into a place filled with delicious, affordable food and drinks. Lots of outdoor seating under lovely string lights, perfect for a St. Louis summer evening. You order drinks and food at the bar, which could be cumbersome during busy times. We had the pastrami poutine, mac and cheese and sliced steak sandwich which came with fries. Washed it down with 5 dollar Tiny Bomb Pilsners. I tell you, this food was so good and fresh. Not way overpriced liked many places these days. The small bites felt like reasonably sized bites and were definitely filling. Great ambiance, fantastic food and some unique beer on tap. We had a Blood Orange Wheat from Firestone Walker. I look forward to returning. read more

Friendly staff, great food, and a nice/lowkey vibe. We grabbed dinner and a drink here before seeing a show at Off Broadway. I've had cocktails here before, but the food surprised us... We will definitely be back again soon! Cheers y'all :) read more

The space was nicely decorated, and our waitress was friendly, which made for a pleasant atmosphere. That said, the drinks were not good and the mushrooms really missed the mark for us. We were also let down to find that they had already run out of their cocktail special. I likely won't return. read more

This place was amazing! I came here for a colleagues going away party and couldn't have been more impressed. Although quaint, it's got decent space in the back and a few booths in the front. We started early at 4:30 and watched it quickly fill over time. To start, I got the bolero, which consists of pineapple jalapeño tequila, mezcal, cilantro liqueur and pineapple. The taste was unique in that it had a hint of sweetness but had the jalapeño come through with a little kick. The mezcal was a nice touch. I then decided to get a couple bites and opted for the Brussel sprouts and hummus. The Brussell sprouts were just as I had hoped: crispy with a nice char, flavored with bacon and some type of cherry. The hummus was absolutely delicious and well seasoned. I love the ambiance and vibes this place has to offer and I can't wait to come back and try more drinks/food. read more

The Saturn Lounge in the gorgeous historic Lemp District is such a great place to unwind. I had the Brussels sprouts salad -- delicious. My mom ordered the French onion soup and loved it.

I cannot believe I haven't heard of this place before?! It is SO cool inside, I couldn't stop looking around. This place is really nice if you want a nightcap but don't want to deal with the hectic soulard bars. Plenty of space to sit and mingle even for a Friday night around 10pm. Street parking didn't seem to be an issue either. I really like the vibe in here. Can't wait to try the food next time! read more

It's a year later, and I want to say this place is definitely in our regular rotation. The patio is quickly becoming one of my favorites (see pics). They've updated the menu of cocktails, which are so excellent and very reasonably priced. They've now added food from the place next door. We've not had a full meal, but the brussel sprouts and the tomato bisque is outstanding. The vibe, both on the inside and outside, is so chill and relaxed. If you've not been here, you're missing out. read more

I appreciate everything in the Saturn Lounge - the vibe, the music, the seating, and the staff. This cozy bar on Cherokee feels laid-back, comfortable, and welcoming. The playlist was also amazing. They have plenty of indoor seating and a lovely patio. The place wasn't crowded when we arrived around 9 pm on a Saturday. We chose to sit outside because we didn't want to waste the perfect weather. I ordered the Slow Jam, and I liked it. The Saturn Lounge is perfect for having a date night or catching up with friends. I will be back to enjoy the vibe and explore more items on their menu! read more

I already loved the Saturn Lounge... then they added FOOD! This really is the best place on Cherokee to get a fine cocktail and a bite to eat. The vibe is welcoming and comfortable, with varied seating options indoors and a lovely patio as well. The music is thoughtfully curated by folks who know what they're doing - owner Doug Morgan is a professional DJ and never fails to make me Shazam what's on the hi-fi. I never get tired of trying something new from the cocktail menu - and the staff is good at recommending drinks if you're not sure what you want. They had some wonderful hot drinks all winter, and a tasty sangria this spring. The food though - wow! The crabcakes are crunchy on the outside, and tender and flavorful on the inside. Tomato soup and toasted cheese were perfect on a chilly day. And the black bean melt is a great vegetarian dish, with a depth of flavor and just a bit of heat. read more

The Saturn Lounge offers eclectic cocktails & super fun vibes! Walking in you see a shelf of all their records & huge stereo system, also the shelves are full of their alcohol. You can find local whiskeys & bourbons from Switchgrass Spirits too! Holla. Their happy hour is 3pm-6pm Tuesday-Friday with $5 draft beers & $7 wine pours! Keep walking to the back room & that offers more space with couches if you don't want to sit at the bar or booth. You can now get small bites here which didn't use to be a thing. Check out The Saturn Lounge in Cherokee St! read more

I've been coming here almost since the day they opened, and yet just recently tried the food for the first time. I've always treated this as a place to go for a cocktail or two before going out to dinner. But having finally tried the food, I'll hang out even longer. The cocktails are always great. They have a wide selection of bourbons and other spirits. I always like to test a bar with a common cocktail, like a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, as everyone makes them differently. I've had various luck with the different bartenders and that's the only reason for a slight deduction in stars (if I could give 4 and a half stars, I would). I also was slightly disappointed that they were out of several of the food items that I was placing on ordering. I did get the crab cake sandwich with fries and that was delicious. The bartenders are very knowledgeable. The patio is awesome. And I could get lost for days going through the vinyl and CD collection. I love the mix of music over the great sounding speakers. I'll be back. read more

I have reviewed the Saturn Lounge before. How can anyone not like this place? So well done from the patio to the bar and seating. The decor is perfect for a lounge. Dark and great cocktails. The music is the best and if you like vinyl and are OLD like me, you will love this place because they spin vinyl! I still have all of my vinyl from my high school days so I appreciate this. Fine drinks and a kind bartender make for a nice evening. Head to Saturn Lounge for a fun time. read more

the outside space was nice, but the inside does not look like the pictures, it smelled funny, and our drinks were not good

The owners are wonderful and helpful. I really enjoyed the burger, others patrons raved about Mac and cheese l, wings, meatballs. Shoot imma have come back for those items. I had the Bolero as a cocktail . Cool outdoor space. I wonder if they have a fire pit for the colder months. read more

The ambiance is soft mysterious jazz. The food: flavors and textures you will love (we had the New Mexico Poutine; crispy fries and delicious cheese salsa; and the rib eye press and Italian press - great combination of meats and sauces/jus to go with them). The drinks are full of flavor too, yet strong enough to enjoy yourself. The service is easy going yet attentive; perfect fit for the ambiance. You will love this place for a date or double date! I'll be coming back to explore more of the menu soon! read more

The Saturn Lounge - Bar area - Lounges Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I love the vibe of this place. They've done really amazing job getting the "feel" right. The industrial bar back with records and speakers looks simple but good, the trap door behind the bar for the basement access is great for the layout because it kept the basement access from reducing floorspace. The whole place feels great. The booths are comfortable, but the booth back right by the front door moves too much to be considered so. They need to stabilize that booth's backer. Otherwise, just use it as a bench. (I had to put myself in that mindset after the third or fourth time it shifted on me and startled me.) The drinks menu is large with a great selection of NA options. The cocktails menu is short and targeted, but I question many of the choices they made. Of note: The garnish toothpicks are these strange, smooth, triangular plastic affairs, and the glassware style picked for a particular drink is often puzzling. Finally, the cocktails themselves: While I appreciated the drink options they had, the final taste experience left me underwhelmed. There was always something off with each cocktail. The Bolero had a nice start, but became too sweet and had a flat finish on the palate. The Ubiquity was a nice idea, but overwhelming by volume for the cloying sweetness of it. The sign painter had just a tad too much lemon juice in it and was confusingly served in what I think was a champagne glass. I will need to return to try their patio in the warmer months. read more

Wow! The best homemade toasted ravs in the city! Very quick drink service, atmosphere exceptional, very cozy and clean, music at a perfect level to have a perfect chat. Loved this place, loved the Fandango drink and the Slow Jam on the cocktail menu. Plug-ins for laptops to get some work done in the booths! Perfect for a weeknight drink, or night on the patio. Would recommend for a date, hanging with friends, anything, we will be back! read more

A cozy bar that looks like it might be a dive bar in the front and lounge in the back with a patio to chill weather permitting. I will definitely return on a sit outside 75 degree day and enjoy an adult beverage or two!!! The drinks range from standard to unique! The two bartenders were incredibly efficient and made sure everyone was served timely. If I lived closer, this bar might be my CHEERS bar!!!!! read more

Great ambiance and the food is delicious! The patio is perfect for a summer night and the inside is perfect for a cozy winter hang.

Such a great neighborhood spot with fantastic cocktails, wonderful beer selection, and a well-crafted food menu. The patio is terrific for people watching and enjoying a nice cold drink on a summer evening. The staff are all very friendly and professional and the inside has a really fun vibe with records playing and comfortable seating. Would recommend to anyone and everyone! read more

First time, very last minute type of thing. Found it on Yelp after leaving dinner. Super packed but expected for 10pm on a Saturday. Great chill, intimate vibe! Would be a 5 star if there was more seating. Nevertheless, I will be back. Looking forward to the patio being open in the summer read more

Ate here recently with some friends on a weekend. The restaurant, for me, fits into the category of if I lived nearby, it would likely be a place I would frequent. That said, the ordering food at the bar was a bit odd, especially when I came to the bar to order, the bartender looked surprised. Why not have an ordering option where you can order directly from the table? All 3 couples who were in our party ordered food at the same time, yet mine was delivered at least 15 min before our other friends received theirs, and another 15 mins before the final couple in our party received theirs. On the plus side, the food was good and the inside is nice, with a nice patio outside. I had the Italian press sandwich and fries. My wife ordered the crab cake sandwich, which she liked, but it tasted a bit burned around the edges to me. Stuffed mushrooms were good also. I didn't order alcohol so I can't comment on the drinks, but our friends seemed pleased with their drink selections. read more

Just a beautiful, beautiful lounge. "Southside Chic" at its best. It is warm, comfortable and non pretentious. It's dark, it's calm and the music is just down right soothing. Perfect for two hot toddies (with ginger if you are into that) and a shot of Jamieson on a frigid evening. Keep up the great work Doug!! Tip - "Sandinista", you'll thank me later :) read more

Why isn't this patio constantly crowded?! Amazing drinks and such a cool vibe, plus a wide selection of liquor and NA options.

To say that The Saturn Listening Lounge has a vibe is to do it a great disservice; it is one. Possessing a subtle air of sophistication not lost on anyone paying attention... It's cool without even trying. Whether the airy vertical height of the space itself; the glossy, piano black of the pressed ceiling tiles; the contemporary European line of the vinyl booth seats; or the clean cut of the exposed brick showcasing gallery-quality artwork. This patron could go on and on. All are only rivaled by an expert, well-crafted drinks menu and an even more expert, well-curated playlist -- courtesy of your bartender, host, KDHX staple, and big brother, Mr. Doug Morgan. Put simply: it just ain't right! A joint this upscale doesn't deserve to be so accessible. But, it is. It's magic is in its modesty. Get there, like yesterday... See it for yourself. read more
