Horrible service. Horrible drinks. Horrible everything. Went there with friends during the fall festival. They had a few people in the bar, but it was definitely not packed. They took 10 minutes just to take our order of drinks and an order of fries. 10ish minutes later our drinks arrived. The server had made a few recommendations, which were all horrible. We still waited 30 minutes for the fries. When we finally asked for our check, the server stated the fries were about to arrive because the cook just arrived. I am not sure why they took our order if they couldn’t prepare it. We asked to cancel the order and for our check. The server then took over 15 minutes to bring the check. We immediately handed her the credit card. After 12 minutes, I went to the bar and asked for our check. Keep in mind we had been waiting a long time to leave. The server told me as an answer they couldn’t find our credit card. First, I was a bit confused. We just handed her the card and she walked to the credit card machine. I admit, I did get a bit upset and did say a few F bombs. I do apologize for my language to the servers. None the less — how unprofessional and incompetent! My friend ended up digging through the trash looking for his own card. After about 10 minutes, the main bartender did find our card. Hallelujah!!! They did tell us we didn’t need to pay, but my friend was trying to be understanding and told them we would pay for our drinks. Another 30 minutes later they still had not checked him out because their computer system went down. Omg!!! Finally they handed the credit card back and said it was fine. I am so disappointed I can not describe how poor of service we had at this place. Bad drinks, bad service, and complete absent mindedness is what I encountered at Absolutli Goosed.

Service sucks. More interested in each other than customers and not knowledgable about drink ingredients.

I’ve been to Absolutli Goosed a few times before for apps and drinks but today Unilocal’s School of Booze drug me through the door. It was a great time with fellow Elites and Robin our personal mixologist and owner of AG. We experimented with 3 delicious drinks; Elite Status(in honor of the Elites) which was a lightly sweet, citrusy mix consisting of Gin & Moscato. Second we concocted The Kentucky Hug(my fav) and I’m not even a Bourbon fan but this was superb! I love Merlot mixing fresh Cherries, Simle Syrup and Bourbon made this drink similar to an adult Capri Sun(less sugary though). Lastly, we sipped a traditional Sangria. Delicious but more of a heavy taste with Dry Red Wine, Ginger Ale and Brandy. This was a great afternoon lesson; can’t wait to get Goosed again.

We stopped here just because I thought their name sounded fun! As it happened, they had just opened and we were the only ones in the bar. The bartender was very friendly once she warmed up to my daughter and myself and did a nice job taking care of us. I wanted a light, refreshing drink and she suggested her Chocolate martini. It was an excellent choice! One of the best ones I’ve had. Sarah had a drink called allotta fagina and thought it was very good and not super sweet. We were able to enjoy $ 6 martinis during happy hour. It’s worth a visit!

This place is just okay. I had a lot of friends who raved about it and recommended it left and right so we had to try it. It’s good – if you like cocktails you will probably love it. I’m more of a beer, maybe wine drinker. They had a few beers and a few wines to choose from but they were just okay at best. The reason it gets three stars was the service. Our bartender/server barely acknowledged us on a Thursday night when it definitely wasn’t busy in he slightest. Not friendly, not welcoming or helpful, just made for an overall sour experience. The prices are extremely reasonable… The wine was $ 7 or so; most cocktails were under $ 10. So that is nice – we may be back if we are looking for a place to grab a drink but most likely not.

We’ve been stopping by here on occasion for a couple years for a martini(or 2) and always have a good time, sometimes its a little loud but we like stopping by after dinner at any of the places within the couple blocks of here.

I’m giving five not just because they have Monday nite special $ 5 martinis. Great place to chill with friends and try a ton of different martinis. I can’t believe the selection they have. Everyone who works so friendly

Oh my gosh this is absolutely(no pun) the best drink place in St. Louis. The chips and salsa are awesome but the drinks. You have to have one night where you go down the list and just try every drink. Awesome staff

Came here on a Friday night during pride. It was crowded enough that most of the tables and bar stools were filled but there was ample seating. There are also a few tables outside, which I sadly didn’t realize until we left! Bartenders are nice, service is quick. The majority, if not all, of the drinks are under $ 10. I got a mango Long Island. It was very strong and I left very tipsy: D if you’re not into mixed drinks and martinis, they also have some beers. I was surprised that they had a stout! I forget which one exactly but it was from Schlafly. Good place for a date or a small group of friends. Not a dancing kind of place it seems, purely for drinks and catching up. There are lots of restaurants around, I recommend grabbing dinner then drinks and then maybe heading a few miles downtown or to the grove to hit the clubs!

Suffice to say, I had a good weekend. Our server was really great, attentive and you could tell she knew the drink menu like the back of her hand. I asked for a nice recommendation and she took care of me. I got the salted carmel drink with a chocolate rim martini w cream. It was delicious, strong and smooth. And, I finally tried a rusty nail — delicioso! Slightly sweet and strong is always good for me. Great bar.

One night my significant other and I came here by accident and drank a whole bunch of really, really ridiculous cocktails, all of which had suggestive names. We’re still like, «Remember that time we went to Absolutli Goosed and drank a bunch of really, really ridiculous cocktails? THATWASSOMUCHFUN.» The place looks like it used to be a bar and grill. It’s been gussied up(goosied up?) with some red walls and HomeGoods artwork. I feel reasonably certain that on any given weekend, you could run into at least three bachelorette parties here. You don’t go there for the décor or the clientele, though. You go there for the really, really ridiculous cocktails with suggestive names.

One of my fave martini bars… this is the one you wanna take the mistress to, not the Mrs… unless of course you’re into that role playing stuff… yep tell the wifey to put on a sexy trench and heels and meet you at the bar! Game on!!! Wow, did I just open my review with a Cinemax After Dark scene?! Well that’s that kind of place this is… dark, sexy and ready to get you liquored up and make you talk dirty! Especially if you order a drink from the«Women of Bond and Powers» list like the«Ivana Humpalot» or the«Dixie Normous» or the«Fook Mi-Fook Yu»…and oh yes, they make you say it… WARNING — do not try to point at the menu to get one of these drinks… they will act suddenly blind, they will lean in to hear you as you try to whisper your order or skip the vowels… they WILL make you say IT! My favorite martini there is the Happy Nutz… tastes just like an Almond Joy Bar with a kick! A perfect Saturday evening is set-off by dining across the street at Café Mochi for their ½ price Sushi Happy Hour(starts at 4:30) and then skip right on over to the Goose for their Pure Decadence Happy Hour(4 – 7). Love this place and all it’s kinky glory! Oh yeah, shout out to Samantha… she’s the best! Super cool, gorgeous and shakes up a puts out a mean martini! *Martin Voice* ««You go Girl!!»

A great place to have drinks with friends. It’s a nicer atmosphere, definitely more upscale bar feel. The drinks are pricey which fits with that. They do have some good specials nights, however. There drinks are very strong, which also helps to explain the prices. There’s great variety and the environment is nice.

Clearly, Absoluteli Goosed was not designed with me in mind. We tried out the bar a few months back when a friend of ours had a gift certificate. Back then, I wasn’t particularly a fan. On Friday night, we were summoned to AG for a night of pricey drinks and poor service. For the thrifty patron who has a budget and likes value, AG is not the place to go. However, I was impressed with the bucket deal that they were offering on a Friday night. They had $ 12 buckets of AB products, which was very surprising. However, we more than made up for it with the martinis. I bought a round of Buds and one specialty cocktail, and we still spent over $ 22 before tip! Okay. So one cocktail is worth almost one bucket of six beer?! Needless to day, I was very displeased with the tab. Bill aside, the true issue was with the service. We had a group of eight and spent nearly two hours there. I had no idea who our server was. The bartender came over a few times to check on us, and my wife kept saying that she wasn’t our waitress. Apparently, our waitress was standing around most of the time. I’m sorry, but this table is potentially a $ 20-$ 40 tip table(I know my friends. They’re not cheap). Where on earth is our waitress? Also, the place was not even moderately busy. The bartender brought me my tab, and I walked it back to her a half hour later. And could they put a TV somewhere? I realize that AG is meant to be upscale and trendy, but I assume that they could afford one freakin’ flatscreen. I went in during the Cardinals game and had to keep checking my phone for the score, which I had plenty of time to do while waiting for someone to take my debit card.

I broke my Absolutli Goosed cherry tonight. It only took 4+ years! Years ago, when I would visit one of my best friends in St. Louis(she has since moved away), we would come out of Phở Grand, and she would always invariably be like, «We have to go to Absolutli Goosed. I hear it’s really good.» And this is a girl who takes Coke shots when we go out. But alas, we never went because we always were headed to somewhere else. But Mandie M. had the bright idea of having a girls’ night here, and I totally jumped at the idea. And it was fabulous. Although I didn’t order a drink myself(I know, I know… but I was still feeling the effects of ITap), I tried all of their drinks… and yes, it was good. I think I like the drinks because they are strong… but they don’t taste slimy, as alcoholic drinks can taste if you’re not mixing them right. The drinks are all unique and creative. The girls ordered a wide spectrum of drinks, so I got to try everything from the fruity spectrum to the creamy spectrum to the chocolate spectrum. My favorite on the menu was pretty much the pink coconut cosmo, which is coconut rum, triple sec, white grape juice, cranberry juice, and cream. I’m writing it all out because one day I hope to replicate it at home… but it’s also so I can remember to order it next time I’m here. Also, Sam made Mandie this incredible strawberry-banana margarita… THAT’s what I’m also going to order too… yep, this girl is going to be double-fisting it. Service is very friendly, and all the customers were really friendly too… it has such a great vibe to the place! And I love how every day they have specials, especially with Martini Mondays, 911 Tuesdays, Rita Thursdays, Cosmic Fridays, and Pure Decadence Saturdays. It makes the pretty reasonable prices just even more reasonable. And appetizers are ½ off from 4 – 7. How much better can that get? OH… well, it does… because the girls, once they checked in… got us free chips and salsa! They were really good too!

Brad and I meet up with Mary Kate A here for a Martini and gab session. I was pleased to see this place is still amazing after all these years. It is a small charming neighborhood bar that serves a quality Martini or Cosmopolitan. I am sure they offer typical bar drinks, but i don’t know why you’d order them when the Martini’s are creative, go down oh so well and are reasonably priced. I think this is the great place to go with friend(s) to to relax and have a quality«cocktail». Our bartender was charming, cute and attentive to our alcoholic needs. I’ll be back.

Hello Martini! Wednesday was my Birthday and it had to start off with a cocktail or two or three. The hubby and I use to frequent this place a lot when we were dating, it’s a great low key place with awesome martini’s. The names of some of the martini’s are enough to break the ice especially on a first date =) We had a dinner reservation was for later in the evening so we took full advantage of their half priced happy hour app’s from 4−7pm. The hummus platter was $ 4 and was a nice sized portion, not too big and not too small… just enough to tied us over till dinner. The martinis here are exceptional! Their happy hour specials have changed a bit since we were last in and the Wednesday special was faculty night, 20% off for teachers, professors, etc, so no happy hour drinks specials for me. But that didn’t stop me from ordering more than one. I started with the Peachy Keen, think chocolate covered peaches and cranberries. A mix of Cranberri Vodka, peach Schnapps and White Crème de Cacao served in a chocolate rimmed glass. So sweet and smooth! My second martini was their Dixie Normous. Try ordering that without blushing! A creamy chocolate and banana liquor treat. It is seriously one I could slam like a milkshake. My final martini was their Coffee and Doughnuts. A caramel-y coffee cocktail rimmed with caramel sauce. Another sweet treat. I almost had to be carried out to dinner. I love this place. I have never order a martini I didn’t like, but I love martini’s a lot… so I think that makes me bias, especially when under the influence of one or two or three.

Three words… pumpkin pie martini. So good. Want to marry it. Thanks to the Unilocal app we decided to try this place out. If the name alone didn’t get us, the red walls with black furniture surely did. We tried the hummus plate and it good. It came with warm pita bread and sliced cucumbers. The bartender wasn’t the friendliest, but she kept the drinks coming, and that’s all I can really ask for. I also tried the chocolate covered cherry martini and the three musketeers one. The pumpkin pie one is my favorite and it was the most costly one, of course, at $ 8.50 a piece. The place was pretty dead around 5pm on a Saturday, but was picking up when we left around 6. I wish we would have had more time to hang out, although my wallet thanked me for leaving after three drinks.
