What players say

Ahhhh, the Famous Bar. I loved loved loved going here 15 years ago. Now, I love it again! Great local feel with fun upscale drinks. They have great "fu fu" martinis: the peach penguin is my favorite and comes with a gummy in the bottom, the miami is a close second.

★★★★★ Adrienne, Jul 2022

A great dive bar with awesome martinis. They have Billiards as well! The bartends are pretty cool and the drinks are decently priced. You’ll have to check out if you’re looking for fun bar vibes.

★★★★☆ Jonah, Jan 2023

Cute St. Louis dive bar. It's been the Famous Bar at least 25 years and was a bar before that. It has poker tables and minimal snacks (m&ms, jerky, crackers) and you can bring your own food in. Known for its martinis and bloody Mary's. There's street parking or a small parking lot in back.

★★★★★ Casey, Dec 2023

Jeff and James are the best bartenders! This bar is the best! If you want amazing strawberry martinises then come here!!! These two bar men provide excellent service! The owner should give them a raise! They are so nice and easy on the eyes!! Will be back! Many times!.
