Though this fall cocktail currently lacks a name, it starts with an acorn-squash puree, Plantation rum, cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon, and rich maple syrup. Don't miss it! http://bit.ly/1cbOtqe.

The drink has not yet been named, but try this variation of "Remember the Maine" which combines apple brandy, pear brandy, puntemez, cherry heering, absinthe and orange oil. http://bit.ly/1bEySPD

Best of '12: Chef Matthew Daughaday is crushing it at Tastes. No dish stands out more than his lamb sugo, a hauntingly tender display of lamb and tomatoes served on grilled bread. (Evan S. Benn) Read more

I could not possibly be happier with the bartender. Ask for the "bar choice." My cocktail was one of the best I've ever had. Aquavit cocktails are hard, and both that I had were amazing.

Classic cocktails are 6 bucks on Sunday, Monday and 5-7 on tues-fri...can't really beat that...the south side, last word, Moscow mule, aviation, and in a pickle are my winners! :)

Barbacoa, fried pickles and the meat plate = divine. Everything else is great too. Best cocktail on the menu is the In A Pickle - it is a great refreshing cocktail!
Riverfront TimesDecember 2, 2013
Don't miss the Barbacoa! Three tiny masa cakes topped with braised beef cheek, pickled red onion, cilantro, queso fresco and salsa verde. Delicious! http://bit.ly/19dbsdM

My favorite bar as far as atmosphere goes in St. Louis. Plus I think they have the best variety in drinks. Great for a date

I miss the Pork Scrapple! Ask for the Date Expectations drink. It's no longer on the menu but it has rum, cherry liquor, peach bitters, lemon juice, and maple syrup! :)

This small-plates and classic-minded-cocktails joint from Gerard Craft (an F&W Best New Chef 2008) features drinks by Ted Kilgore and snacks like house-made pickles and spicy pork meatballs.
Cordell LawrenceJanuary 22, 2015
Fantastic cocktails. Just $6 during happy hour. Nice bourbon selection that's reasonably priced.
Riverfront TimesJune 5, 2013
Try "Barrel-Aged Unusual Negroni," which gives a classic cocktail a new twist: With the help of Lillet rosé and Aperol comes a lighter, brighter drink than a conventional negroni. http://bit.ly/ZtLsJz

A dimly lit dungeon of a cocktail bar, and another of Chef Craft's clever concoctions, go here after dinner to wash down your meal with well crafted cocktails.

Drinks like Hell's Bells offer a spiced gin wonder made with Hayman's Old Tom Gin, Pimm's, a touch of sugar, absinthe and a sizable garnish of smoked red bell pepper. http://bit.ly/150Twlv

Absolutely every food item is great, but you cannot miss the brick chicken. It's unreal.
Peter ScordoMay 31, 2014
Amazing cocktails and a small plates menu that changes frequently. Delic!
Brett RamseyDecember 4, 2011
Trust me. "Thin Lizzy" is the cocktail you want. Gin, cucumber, jalapeño, etc. works way better than you'd think. Pleases all palates.
