Ds Vespers Sports Pub & Eatery

I keep trying to give this place the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, every time that I have a good experience there, I then have 2 bad ones. Bottom line, DO NOT go there for lunch if you are in a hurry. They never seem to have enough staff on hand to manage their lunch crowds. There is normally only one waiter/​waitress there running their butt off between the dining area and bistro. The last 2 times we’ve gone there, it has taken over 2 hours between waiting for service, waiting for food, then waiting for the check. I can’t really fault the wait staff, they try to handle the crowds as best as they can. I have to blame the management for NEVER having enough staff on hand. Even in the evenings they don’t have sufficient staff. This has been the case since we’ve started going there. We keep going back, because for the most part, their food is pretty good. And we really enjoy seeing movies in the Bistro theaters. Give it a try, but don’t get your hopes up for fast, efficient service.

This is one crazy busy place. It can be your one stop shop, movie=check, drinks-​check, food= check, laser tag= check, watch the game=check. We stopped in after running a 5k. The parking lot was very full, we had to drive around for a bit before we found an open spot. Once inside, we secured an open table, but getting a server proved to be hard to find than the parking spot. I cant really say that many good things about the service, but the food made up for it. I ordered the turkey with gouda, I know this place had gouda, on a spinach wrap with sweet potato fries. Everyone in my group ordered something different, we all had enough for left overs. if the service would have been better I would have given them a 4 stars.

I love love love Vespers. I’ve been so pleased every time I’ve visited. Because Vespers is also a part of the EDGE complex, I’ve visited every aspect of this expansive business. The bar fills up quickly but the bartenders are always on top of their game. They offer a ton of craft and «odd ball» beers and allow you to sample a couple if you’re new to the beer journey. The restaurant part is comfortable and provides tons of TVs for sports watching. In fact, I watched the Cards win the WS in 2011 at Vespers. We’ve been loyal patrons since. The food at Vespers is delish. I love that they offer more than just fries and chips as sides. My only small complaint is that they have been out of something the last couple of times I’ve been. However I look at that as keeping it fresh. Good restaurants with fresh product can’t just pull more from the freezer if it’s a fresh, homemade product, and I’m a-​ok with that. The service is usually very good to great. The other aspects of this place should also be frequented but if you’re looking for a decent bar with yummy food, you’ve found it at Vespers.

Second time eating here, this time around service seemed to be ok until a bit of a crowd came in and it went down hill!
Not to mention the food, I ordered their
Smoked Gouda turkey sandwich and the turkey was ice cold so I sent it back. It took forever for our server to come to our table. I ordered a grilled chicken salad and when it came it was mostly bacon and feta cheese, barely any greens AND the chicken was DRY as heck!!! The pizza my hubby ordered was undercooked, the crust was soft and lacked flavor. Next time … There will be NO next time!!!

Vespers is very kid friendly. Unfortunately my expectation for good food is greater than the average 5 year old. I order the fish and chips special on a Friday night which is a big fish night in this part of town. The order consisted of cold soggy fries and thee small finger size pieces of fish. The pizza my daughter ordered was a close clone to a cardboard box frozen pizza. Without the coast of drinks this sad example of friendly bar food cost me $ 35. Captain D’s would have been a wiser choose for fish and chips this night. What always bothers me most of all is the people that cook this food with little to no effort then having it brought to your table knowing just by the appearance alone, this is something they them self would not eat. Yet it still makes its way to my table with out an apology.

Good food, drinks, and very kid friendly. My wife and I go with our family, with our friends, and occasionally with each other to this fun and friendly bar. Get the appetizer sampler and a Bianca pizza. Everything else on the menu is also tasty. Great place to watch football, and hockey. The wings are outstanding. The staff will make you feel like a regular the first time you go.

Inferno wings!

Vespers is a sports bar connected to a laser tag center and arcade. I don’t have children, but I can imagine how great it would be to let the whole family enjoy themselves. The bar area itself is large, and features plenty of tvs. Blues and Cardinals take priority, and there are usually giveaways during the games (often free tickets!). There is also video trivia for free at all times, which is great. Ask the bartender for a handheld machine to play. They also have a couple of dart boards. The only thing they are missing are some electronic ones, and their shuffle board table is now gone. Bring it back! Even so, lots of drafts, great pizza, good service, and a fun sports atmosphere make this bar a favorite!
