Helpless I fell, as a pebble, tossed into a crevice to judge its frightful depth. Tumbling into the abyss the charlatans call love, but the initiated call madness. Panicked, I cried out into the void for help as the bar reeled in not only my heart, but my very soul. The only response was cherubic laughter and I looked down to find Cupid’s arrow jutting out of my chest, tethering me to this fair lady, this enchantress, this succubus disguised as a friendly neighbourhood bar with terrific ribs(they’re enrapturing). Desperate to escape this passion as it overwhelmed, me I thrashed about and found my mythic tormenter and seized his neck. When I came to, I sat next to my fairy bar. Eyes mad, hands covered in blood. Was it Cupid, or was it a vagrant drifter? Only that night truly knows. I still love this bar though…

Great food! Field Box 2 is always a good time. Pricing is affordable and staff is friendly!

Way too loud. The music was up so loud that the speakers were distorted. Also, it was so loud that the bartender could not hear what I was ordering from 1 foot away, she got my order wrong every time and was very rude about it.

I typically love dive bars but sadly this place did not do it for me. :( Food was really what caused this to be a 2-star review. Terrible on all counts. The draft beer I had was refreshing and the service was alright, so that’s what saved it from just 1 star… Beer selection on draft could have been much better. I ended up getting a shock top which is a totally tasty beer, but I was hoping for maybe some other options… Service was decent, the bartender was our server and he answered all of our questions. Sadly, though, when things started to pick up a bit, we had to walk over from where we were sitting to the bar to get his attention, since the bar itself was starting to fill up and we did not have a waitress to assist. It was probably a lot of work for just one dude, so yeah… I left him a good tip though since he was clearly trying to wait on a bunch of people at once and get drinks for everyone… can be a daunting task. The food was really awful. I had the tacos and Sean opted for his usual bacon cheeseburger with fries. He said the fries were only«OK» and the burger was extremely overcooked. He wanted it medium and even specified that when ordering, but the inside was completely cooked and tough and chewy… sad face. :( The tacos were unbearably salty and also spicy… I had made it a point to clarify that the tacos weren’t spicy prior to ordering, so IDK if it was just a different person cooking that night or what… but they added SO much salt to the meat, it was all I could taste. Any other flavor was completely indistinguishable as my tongue was assaulted with salty & spicy(which some may like — but definitely not me.) The sour cream it came with barely did anything to alleviate this. They did not have guacamole when I asked for it which didn’t bother me, but just worth noting in case you were hoping to order some. Also worth nothing — when I’d first walked in, I did not even realize the place allowed smoking at first because it honestly did not smell like it at all. Maybe a little bit outside but I figured it was non smoking inside and the smokers just congregate outdoors and that is why it smelled that way outside and not inside. But alas. After about 15 min or so inside, people nearby started to light up and the smell became unbearable. Shame on me for not asking I guess… but yeah, I was kinda surprised because there is a smoking ban in St. Peters, but this place is apparentlyyyy *technically* right on the cusp of St. Charles/St. Peters county so because they’re not on the St. Peters side of it, they are allowed to have smoking. Which, hey, if you are a smoker — rejoice! But if you aren’t and the smell bugs you, you may want to reconsider… they do have a patio but it was kind of chilly that night so decided to just endure the smoke for a little while to get some grub. The only positive I can say is that(unlike at another bar I recently just tried for dinner) my clothing did not reek later on after leaving… so maybe their ventilation is marginally better than the other place or could just be due to the fact that they had all the windows open that night down on the end of the bar with the pool table…

Great service! Great servers! They have treated me as a local and are very courteous. Yes it is great looking women as servers but just a man’s watering hole. Food is great and they have a great steak. I would recommend as a traveling man to stop in.

Super divey, insanely loud, awful service, and for some reason the lights were all on making it incredibly bright for a bar. Never again.

It’s a blue collar bar. As long as you look at it from that perspective, you will agree with my review. Service was great, cute bartenders who are friendly. I had the steak special which was $ 10 for a healthy select(not prime or choice) piece of meat that was charred and flavorful. It came with a salad that was presented well and a basket of fries. I would order this meal again! For a. Dive bar the food and service was excellent! It was a clean place as well. The only drawback was the clientele were all men.

It’s a tiny little place but very reasonably priced and a friendly atmosphere. The food I had this visit was one little pulled pork slider and a pizza. I’d say the food was 3 star maybe 3 and ½. Not haute cuisine but superlative bar food. The slider was tasty but nothing outstanding. The pizza had a very good flavor and pretty decent crust. Maybe could have stayed in the oven 60 more seconds. I really did like it, maybe not as much as say, Pirrones but all in all, very tasty. The place was hopping on a Saturday night. Had live music that started at 8. Didn’t catch the bands name but they were not a bad bar band. I only stayed until 8:30 but I sensed that it would get a little crazier later. It’s hard to explain but while they won’t make it big, they were a good fit for a place like this-just entertaining. They were playing 90’s and 2000’s rock with a mostly 20’s-early 30’s crowd. Yeah I was the old fart at the bar. :) Lot’s of big screens and various games on TV. The staff was super friendly. Everyone I observed was happy and making the guests happy. My bartender was Kelly and she was 5 star, a great ambassador for the business. Very engaging and attentive. I’ll certainly be back again. Just remember, it’s a bar that serves food, not a restaurant that serves drinks.
