Happy Hour Hot Spots

Whether finishing work for the day or getting ready for a night out, there’s no shortage of notable happy hour hot spots in St. Louis. From cocktails to wine, check out these stylish hangouts for great drinks and an even better atmosphere.

Robie’s on 8th

Fresh off a recent renovation, Robie’s on 8th at Magnolia Hotel offers a high-value happy hour menu in a picturesque package. Happy hour kicks off at 4 p.m. each day with a limited menu of bar-bite snacks – think chips and dip and bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with blue cheese – and a selection of cocktails under $10. This, paired with the ornate, Romanesque architectural design, make for an elevated midweek pick-me-up that might have you returning sooner rather than later.

The Pennywell Hotel

Located inside a remodeled bank first built in the 19th century, The Pennywell Hotel features yet another sophisticated spirits experience that stands above a typical watering hole.

Make a reservation beforehand to snag a seat at the Pennydrop Bar + Kitchen. Here, you can settle into a plush high top chair at the bar and place your order. The lounge’s timeless design harkens back to a more refined era while still feeling at home in 2023, making it ideal for date-night drinks before dinner or out on the town.

The Pitch Athletic Club and Tavern at St. Louis Union Station

Neatly nestled inside St. Louis’ iconic Union Station is The Pitch Athletic Club and Tavern. Here, patrons post up for drinks and viewings of high-stakes soccer matches throughout the year.

Fittingly, The Pitch sports a classy English pub vibe. From European beers on draft and a compelling wine list to fish & chips, corned beef and more, this tavern exceeds every expectation. Because St. Louis is a soccer city perhaps now more than ever before, The Pitch is one of the top go-to spots before St. Louis City SC matches kick off right across the street.

So, gather for happy hour drinks and share plates from the thoughtfully crafted menu to soak in a bit of soccer style – and raise a glass to the city’s MLS team.
