I've been here twice and had great experiences both times. Not sure what's up with the bad reviews!…read more They have a TON of seating - indoor and outdoor. Their outdoor patio is fantastic. You can order from the bar for beers/the counter for food OR you can use the QR code. Both are incredibly fast. Like had our food under 10 minutes which was awesome. Bar has something for everyone - some great beers, cocktails, and wine. Peacemaker was good as always. I always upgrade to fries then regret it because their chips are bomb. The only complaint here is the amount of meat/seafood they put on their sandwiches - it's like bread with a few shrimp. For the price you're paying (almost $20 an entree), I feel like you should be getting a little more meat. But at least it's good. I got a burger this time and the patties were seasoned super well and honestly very, very good. Such a cool spot, especially on a nice day. Great spot for beers and hanging out with friends.

If your ideal Friday night involves enjoying a beer while supervising someone else's children, this…read moremight be your spot. The vibe when we visited was less brewery and more unsupervised playground. Kids were running around barefoot, throwing mulch and rocks, while plenty of parents sat back with drinks in hand. My wife and I, along with several other guests, were repeatedly getting hit with rocks from children running around the property. Maybe this was an unusually busy night, but it was hard to relax or have a conversation between the constant chaos, the trains, and the swarm of kids treating the place like recess. I'd post photos, but every picture is mostly other people's children, and that doesn't seem fair. If you're looking for a quiet drink or an adult atmosphere, you may want to look elsewhere. If you're looking for a place where the kids can run wild while the adults have a drink, you'll probably fit right in.

It can get crowded on Fridays and Saturdays but that's to be expected when everyone loves it here. It has pool tables and darts. It also has karaoke on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Great place to take friends for a great night out! Ambiance is warm and inviting and a place where everyone will know your name eventually.

Discovered this dive bar during the World Cup games. The inconsistencies in decor/vibe throughout…read morethe place makes sense later knowing the bar was on Bar Rescue around 2024/2025. We had a good time playing pool and there was a male bartender making our first drinks that was very friendly and conversational. The female bartender made our second round of drinks and was more standoffish as if we didn't fit the "dive bar scene" since we were dressed up a bit. We enjoyed a couple rounds of pool and watching the World Cup game then we left before karaoke was about to start. Bar itself has plenty of seating and nice lighting for the bottles. After learning the story about the owner and the bar, I'm very happy this place is still open but I don't think we'll be back.

Walk in and there are plenty of tables, a couple of gathering areas, standing room narrow tables, an outdoor area, and a room off to the side. I went for the Logboat Dark Matter which I have had before in a can and wanted to try on draft. I enjoyed it very much. You know what is great?! Since they don't have food, you can bring it in yourself. Both times our group has met up here Katie's Pizza is the choice and its in the same parking lot. You can't go wrong with Katie's. Bartender is on the ball and friendly, TV's all around, not too loud so you can talk. Wednesday nights they have Trivia and I stayed for the first round, it was very current for the current event category. Get a pizza from Katie's, go here, have a beer, have fun!

PJs is a Kirkwood hangout and has been around as long as I can remember. Good place to go for a tavern experience, and we are all Kirkwood people so we went there for that reason. Our server was very attentive. Some folks ordered lunch which looked pretty good. The dinner salads were huge... easily enough for 2! The potatoes skins were tasty (I broke down and had one though I wasn't hungry (we met at 2 and I had a late large breakfast) but the sandwiches looked good. Probably a good bar food place (burgers, etc) but definately a good watering hole! Located in old downtown Kirkwood by the train station. They also have a nice patio and outdoor sidewalk seating. Good place to hang out!

I've been coming to PJs since I was in elementary school, and while it's pretty good bar food and a…read moregood spot to watch the game, there's definitely a sense of tradition and consistency. This particular day I came with my mom and we sat in the back room, where they gave their biggest tv. It was football Sunday, so it's a good spot to post up and watch. The manager ended up having to take our order because they were short staffed. We appreciated her transparency for the wait, she was super kind. I ordered a deluxe pizza and my mom ordered the wings. The pizza is good, stl style. The crust is basic but the toppings were good and plentiful! Parking can be tough since it's in downtown Kirkwood, but there is a large lot next door with lots of spaces.

So...I just had the best dinner with my dad at this restaurant. We actually stumbled into this…read moreplace solely because Olive + Oak didn't have any bar seats open for us, but honestly, I am so glad it happened that way! We were seated with our wonderful server, Nina (I believe). She was friendly, chatty, and very knowledgeable about the menu and restaurant itself. My dad and I started with drinks off the cocktail menu...I got a spicy marg (I don't remember the exact name), and he got a traditional margarita. My spicy marg was fabulous! It had a little heat, but it wasn't overwhelming. My dad unfortunately had a mix-up with his drink, but once we let Nina know, she happily made him the right one. It was also delicious! For food, we had the chicken wings, which were incredible!!!! They're crispy, spicy, delicious, and they will absolutely be devoured again someday soon. We also had a house side salad and split the hot dog. The hot dog deserves an entire post of its own. Holy smokes. It is crunchy, smoky, juicy, sweet, deliciousness....if you are a hot dog fan, you HAVE to try this. I will absolutely be back to try their french onion soup and grilled cheese on a cooler day. That's a threat and a promise.

I was honestly surprised at how busy it was when we arrived at 4pm on a Thursday. I wasn't expecting that kind of crowd, but thankfully I had made a reservation, so we were able to get seated right away. As much as I would've loved to sit on the patio, it didn't look like anything was available, although if you can snag a patio table, I'd definitely recommend it. Inside was packed, with quite a few larger groups as well. Our table was right in the middle of the restaurant, so we had a good view of everything going on. It was loud, but in a fun, lively way. Our server was really friendly and quick. She checked in on us often and gave some helpful recommendations. We ordered drinks and a couple of apps to share, and she left us a full bottle of cold water, which was such a nice touch. We got the pretzel monkey bread, french fries (the best) and the artichoke bean dip. We weren't planning to stay for dinner, just wanted some snacks. The food came out fast and honestly looked too good to wait on. I loved the monkey bread, the pretzel bites had a great crisp to them, and the sauces they served with it were really good. The bean dip was good too, just not as much my thing since I'm not a big fan of dill, so I left most of that for everyone else. Once we wrapped up, we were able to split the check and head out pretty quickly. I really appreciate places that still make it easy to split checks, and even more when you can just pay right at the table with those handheld POS devices.

This was our first time here. We came after receiving recommendations from friends, and it did not…read moredisappoint. Before discussing the food, let's talk about what's most important, and that's our waitress Eve. Our table of four had many questions regarding food as well as wine, and Eve had thoughts and recommendations for everything. It was a pleasant change from other servers when Eve had some recs for things that weren't the most expensive items on the menu (we've all experienced the servers who only recommend the top dollar plates). Eve listened carefully to what we wanted and had appropriate and mindful suggestions. Eve knew all about the wines and helped us pair properly per plate. The rest of the staff that crossed paths with our table were kind and helpful as well. As for the food... the Truffle Agnolotti was as to die for! Omg. Amazing. Full of flavor yet not heavy. It was the star of the table. Lastly, we were impressed with the selection of appropriately priced wines by the glass.

Well dressed and enough for the two of us (served on individual plates which demonstrates their attention to detail and customer-driven focus). I had the Lamb Chop Siciliano paired with their Super Tuscan Red Wine. Three lightly breaded, double cut lamb chops in a lemon caper sauce and mashed potatoes. Unbelievably perfect. My wife had the Shrimp Scampi. Huge shrimp (at least U10) and huge flavor. Couldn't have had a better experience. Will be going back soon. By the way, our companions noted how packed it was for a week night. It's that way for a reason... great food, excellent drinks, attentive service, and a wonderful atmosphere. You just have to try it.
