    Jagerschnitzel (pork) with Mashed Potatoes
    Dranoel W.

    This was a pre-symphony dinner on a Sunday evening. We chose it on a whim and glad we did. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Even gave us samples of some things to try, which we didn't expect. It was a pretty calm environment. Decent amount of people so it wasn't too loud. I got a Vanilla Pumpkin Ale which was delicious. We ordered a Caesar salad, Steak and Fries, and a fried pork cutlet with mashed potatoes. It was a great meal. Def a bargain for ribeye steak and fries (which was charred nicely). Almost tempted for dessert, but had to leave. Definitely would go again.

    Fun spot! Super cozy with tasty beers and a chill vibe. One of the oldest breweries in town! The staff were friendly and super knowledgeable. Love the decor!

    I had a genuinely enjoyable evening at the Schlafly Tap Room. I kicked things off with their crisp, refreshing pilsner. This was just the right kind of easy-drinking beer to settle into the evening and relax with my FitBit showing I had completed 12000 steps today. Then came a glorious mountain of chicken wings, generously sauced and perfectly messy. I took my time with them and once I'd cleaned up and reclaimed the use of my fingers, I caught up on writing Yelp reviews. The Tap Room has free wifi and I was lucky enough to be seated near a power outlet. After a full day of wandering around downtown, my phone was running on fumes, so being able to recharge both my device and myself was a welcome bonus. The staff were warm and attentive without hovering, and the whole place has that laid-back brewpub charm - exposed brick, high ceilings, and the comforting hum of conversation. It's the kind of spot where you can settle in for a solo evening or meet up with friends and feel equally at home. All in all, it was a relaxed, satisfying night with good food, good beer, and a genuinely welcoming vibe. [Review 1181 of 2025 - 447 in Missouri - 24734 overall]

    Okay. I'll say I'm not a beer person, but I love me a brewery! This was one was wonderful and our beer/bartender was soo nice and helpful. Super chill atmosphere :) I tried samples of the raspberry (it was very light on raspberry), pumpkin ale (dessert in your mouth!), vanilla pumpkin ale (the original is better), and cider (very nice and refreshing)! The sample size was enough for me to enjoy what I needed. I can't imagine drinking a full glass of beer! I'm a cocktail girlie... and behold, I ordered a g and t, fabulous! This is a nice place to drinks and food. My friend had a delicious pretzel with a slightly spicy mustard sauce. My other friend got the wings which she liked but a lot for one person. Def check it out! :)

    Upscale pub grub for my taste. Service just right with prompt, courteous attention. Such a quaint and cozy atmosphere. Food was prepared and presented with lots of appeal and taste. Don't forget dessert!

    I always love coming here and sitting at the bar!! Friendly service and they are always knowledgeable about their beers and liquors!! I haven't had anything bad on the menu either!! Crispy ribs are a pleasant surprise!!

    I can still remember my first visit to the Schlafly tap room in the early 2000s. I ordered a Bud Light by mistake. I always get a chuckle out of what the bartender told me. Immediately I was taught what real good beer taste like. Later I went to my first hop in the city beer fest at the taproom. With over 40 beers on tap I was able to try so many great beers by Schlafly. After that, I was hooked some might say I became a beer snob. I have been returning to the Schlafly tap room for over 20 years and it always has great service, great food and of course great beers. The taproom is huge. It has an area with a bar and seating along with a restaurant. If you want to book your party for the upstairs gathering space they will accommodate pretty large parties. I do miss the pool table as I used to go up there after Blues games to shoot pool. Maybe they moved it I just didn't see it. This is a perfect place to visit before a soccer game, hockey game or just Four anytime that you want to get together with Friends, grab a beer, or just get a good bite to eat.

    Wanted to try this brewery after reading all the good reviews, but we were not that impressed. The bartender wasn't super friendly, and they didn't have a great beer selection.

    Schlafly beer tastes like it does anywhere but the food was soo good especially the steak. Really enjoyed the food and service here

    I love going to breweries as they are the most chillest vibes places to hang out at. This one is no different. We sat at the bar area and enjoyed some beers, cocktails and food. My friend does not drink beer so she was able to get a gin and tonic. I had sampled a few beers before landing on the one to get which was the summer lager. My other friend got the Oktoberfest one. I had a very tasting pretzel too and it came with cheese sauce and mustard. My friend had got the chicken wings. They smelled good. We all talked to the beer tender and he was super chill. We did not get his name. This space has a rustic type feeling to it. It has plenty of seating and two sides to it. There is a shop here but they do not have many options for t-shirts at all.

    House salad

    Visited on a Saturday afternoon with a group of about 22. Our server (didn't get his name) was phenomenal, he was very attentive to our large party. We ordered a few appetizers; the pork rinds and crispy spare ribs. Everyone loves the pork rinds a lot. The ribs were a little over done. The favorite entrees were jagerschnitzel, fish & fries, tap room burger and fish tacos. I was told the pork loin wasn't seasoned enough but the gravy was very well seasoned along with the potatoes. Tap room burger was great and the fish tacos were not dry and the red chili aioli made the tacos. I also had a garden salad loved the blue cheese crumbles and dried cranberries. No beer this time due to dry January, but will definitely be back to try a flight.

    Craft Brew menu

    A great place to grab lunch, dinner, or just a cold beverage! Friendly, attentive bar and table service, great craft beers, tasty comfort foods and relaxing, casual ambience. Daily food special board is available plus plenty of menu items from sandwiches, salads, burgers and entrees. Overall, 4.0+ rated experience for all above. Expect to pay $10-20pp depending what you like to eat or drink. Today we ordered warm Pretzels and housemade Beer Cheese dip as a starter - awesome with one of their local/craft drafts! For lunch, ordered the Shepards Pie (todays special), a hearty and filling meal with tender beef and veggie mixture topped with mashed potatoes. Filling if hungry, or enough to share if you have lighter appetite, but it hit the spot! Also tried the Soup of the day, Creamy Turkey Horseradish; housemade with chunks of potato, veggies, turkey and great creamy soup flavors. On a rainy cool day, this comfort fare was perfect! In the past, I have tried their Burgers, Reuben, French Onion Soup, Sausage & Sauerkraut plate - you won't go wrong with anything you crave here! Check out the midtown Schlafly Taproom with EZ parking in their lot. ENJOY!!!

    I always have a solid time at the Tap Room. I love this location downtown. The big parking lot is so convenient and makes for a perfect stop before or after baseball, soccer, hockey, or football. There's a huge selection of beers to choose from and the food always hits the spot. I can never pass up the fries and their house made sauces! The aioli and curry ketchup are my favs! Also shout out to Josh the bartender who always takes good care of us!

We walked around looking at art for a while. There was music being played on stage that was not pleasing to the ear (I'm trying to put it nicely), and it was super loud. There has been music other years that wasn't great, but at least it wasn't really loud! After a while, we decided to have lunch. As much as I love the patio, we opted to ear inside so we could be in the AC for a while. We were seated right away - 5 adults and a toddler. The dining room was full - I think everyone was cooling off! We waited maybe 15 minutes and nobody had come by our table. I know they were busy, but come on. Finally I got a staff member's attention and asked if we could please have a server. A gal came over and apologized and said she wasn't told she had our table. She was still waiting on tables outside and we had to wait longer still to place our orders. After all that, she forgot to order all of the food. One person in our group didn't get any food. The server admitted she didn't enter it and went and took care of it. I couldn't tell you what I, or anyone else, had for lunch. But we all enjoyed what we ordered! We do go here occasionally and it's not chaotic like it is when they have events. We look forward to Art Outside here every year.

It was so incredibly hot that the beer did unfortunately get warm pretty fast. It would be really cool if there were insulated cups, especially since the inside was not air-conditioned. But otherwise everything was really tasty. Happy to make my way here after not being for a few years. Definitely should check it out.

I came with my parents and husband and we all agreed it was a great idea and a very comfortable space, perfect for what was needed. I was surprised at how relatively ample the parking was here despite its proximity to the city. We found a spot with no problems. There were discreet signs that directed us up the stairs to where the event was held. It was spacious, airy, and cool, with a decent number of tables and a very nice large bar, as well as restrooms for both men and women. Our family members who spoke were able to stand on a small stage and share their thoughts. The food was served buffet style in front of the stage. Although you'd think it might be hard to hear given the acoustics, they worked out a way to make it so their speeches could be heard easily. Even visiting with other folks after they spoke, it never became too loud to hear each other. There are also nice TVs which displayed photos of the family. Although we used the space for a celebration of life, I can imagine it would be a good fit for all sorts of events, from corporate parties to just a chill hang out space when it's open to the public. It did get a little bit hot in the space as the event wore on, but it wasn't intolerable. The food and drinks were also quite tasty, especially for catered/buffet style food. There were pretzel bites and cheese dip and three different types of slider burgers: a standard/original burger, a taco burger, and an Impossible burger. The pretzel bites were crispy and buttery. I had a taco burger slider. It was a tiny bit dry but had a great flavor. The bartenders were great -- friendly, answering questions, working efficiently, and very kind to all the guests. Husband enjoyed the beers he tried and my mom and I both ordered the "Cranberry Crush," which was a yummy (and strong!) cocktail that was bright and perfectly sweet. They also serve mocktails, which I love! Glad to include folks who are sober. Thanks, 4 Hands, for creating a welcoming and comfortable space for us!

I tried the citrus tangerine one and it was so refreshing. I also tried the vanilla cookie beer which sounds a little out there but was really interesting and yummy. The space itself is super spacious and clean. Oh also they have a lot of board games that you can play too. I would definitely come back, either for pizza, or happy hour with coworkers or to play the games there. They have pool too.
