    Excellent show, wonderful performers - Just say no to the food. The experience of the show felt empowering. The performers are incredible and clearly have a passion for their work. Let’s talk Food - everything we ordered was Spicy (also the same flavor of spice) The green beans, the couscous, even the cheese curds (why I’m not sure). It was incredibly disappointing because I left 90% of my food on my plate. Now if you have issues with heat or simply cannot digest heavily spiced foods I wouldn’t recommend any item. Also since there was no mention of this on their menu be careful if you have allergies or food restrictions. My party also agreed it was unreasonable the amount of heat on all the dishes. I tripled checked the menu and heat wasn’t mentioned. I left very hungry. Other than that the staff were polite, quick and kind. It’s a wonderful experience I would just skip the food and stick to the drinks and be prepared for an INCREDIBLE SHOW

    Dancing, food, and drinks. With its impressive styling, delicious food, and talented dancers the boom boom room is a St. Louis must see. The salmon was perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. At $45 a ticket and $35 for a plate ( Choices being chicken, steak, or seafood all of which are delicious) it is a little pricey, but definitely worth that once in a lifetime trip.

    If you are going to St. Louis you MUST add a evening at the Boom Boom Room to your itinerary. On a recent bachelorette trip, our group participated in the Shimmy and Shake VIP Feature where we got to learn a short burlesque routine to perform at that evening’s show. During our 2 hour rehearsal, we were guided by our burlesque fairy godmother Lady Manhattan. She created a fun and welcoming atmosphere for our group. She led us through a routine that fit our various dance experience levels and made our group feel so special. The champagne breaks were very much appreciated! We left feeling fabulous and ready to embrace our inner Diva. The evening show itself was absolutely divine. Every member of the Boom Boom Room from the owners to the performers to the staff were so welcoming and friendly. The performance was so much fun and very interactive. When it came time to do the Shimmy & Shake, we had our fabulous guide, Lady Manhattan introduce us and guide us. Truly such a unique, fabulous experience if you are looking for a fun activity for you and your friends. Can not thank the Boom Boom Room enough for making our Bride-to-be feel so special and celebrating this time with our bachelorette party!

    Never been to a burlesque show before. The wife had before, said it was a good time. It's an adult thing, but not as womanizing as stripping or something. Carries class and is more of a performance. The performance was nice, we went for the star wars themed show, and it was surprisingly an awesome idea as well. 💯 💶

    This place is amazing! They spared no expense. Beautiful new club. The show was amazing. Such talented performers. Beautiful girls and guys, fire, Cirque du Soleil type performances, audience interaction, raucous atmosphere, inhibition is encouraged, funny/beautiful MC, light and sound system is over the top. This is not a fake review. I travel 6.5 hours just to see their show at least once a year. If you never see their show, you're missing out.

    I can’t recommend the Boom Boom Room enough! I did this for my bachelorette party with five of my friends. We did the Shimmy Shake feature and it was the absolute BEST experience I could have ever asked for!! Lady Manhattan is forever my burlesque fairy god mother! The owners Brandy and her husband are AMAZING!! I can’t wait to come back for my next special event!

    Our Bachelorette party decided to try this for our main event. Showing up I had a good first impression of the atmosphere, walking into the tables the tiny dinner salads were already set out on the table. (yuck) halfway thru the show we still didn't have our dinner but they wouldn't let us cancel it. My 40 dollar steak was okay, the potatoes weren't done and the green beans were cold. We got 3 toasted ravioli for 9.00. The show was pretty good but I left Sober and Disappointed :/

    Was there from Illinois Saturday night to celebrate my 27th birthday with my husband for their Halloween show. The show was very entertaining and the ladies were beautiful and amazing with their acts. Although there were some things that weren’t up to par, We still had a lot of fun. The waitress was attentive and came back to check on us several times, the hostess and bartenders were all very friendly. They serve large alcohol towers or fish bowls which were fun and we were also seated on the first row. They were worth it because one cocktail was like $10-$15 compared to a tower which was $40 to share between 2 people. The down sides were that the table for 2 people were extremely small. We already had a balloon bouquet, menus, and with the alcohol tower it took all room. So when we ordered food our 2 plates didn’t fit well and my husband accidentally knocked over an alcohol drink. It was a bit annoying too to squeeze in through people to go to the bathroom because the tables were so close together. Also, not a huge deal but everyone in the front row seemed to be VIP which I paid for and they had a crown on their table. But mine was missing. Either it was forgotten or someone stole it before we were seated. My husband seemed to enjoy the spinach artichoke but i did not enjoy the nachos. They were cold and lacked flavor so I did not eat them. Most of their menu selections they were out of. Also if you purchase the VIP be prepared to go on stage and participate. They called everyone celebrating up there . It was nerve wrecking but it was also fun. I would return again if ever in the area but eat somewhere else.

    The show was absolutely amazing.. and everyone was really nice.. however it is quite small sitting area and felt like everyone was on top of eacherother. The food was terrible. We were warned b4 we went and by other customers sitting at the table next to us that the food was not appetizing. Personally it makes it hard to want to go back because of the price of food to be that bad. However all the the workers we super sweet and talented.

    The show is phenomenal...and every performer was great! I also loved the host energy! However the food was horrendous! The food was undercooked, dry, and tasteless. Thank God.. my whole meal that being vegan was just comp!! The waitress offered to allow me to do just potatoes and asparagus and still the food was bare minimum! I would have preferred to just pay for the ticket and not do the dinner at all. I highly suggest you eat before coming or do the chicken, it actually looked like it was made with love. Last, but not least every waitress and waiter was phenomenal and really did so their best.

    Go for the show, not the service. Booked a table for 6 in advance and got put on the upper level. Initially, not a bad thing - we had a fair view of the entire show. Upstairs has its own bar which in theory is spectacular, but the bartender was hardly around. We waited over five minutes at the bar before going downstairs to order drinks. And there were three tables upstairs so not a tall order to fulfill. We never received our food until we inquired about it when we saw all other patrons below us had their food. Cocktails are underwhelming, food was average (none of it arrived hot), probably wouldn’t go back. Edit: I would 100% go back for the entertainment, the performers were amazing. Kudos to the owner for coming to talk to our table after our review and saying they’ll do better. That alone speaks volumes of how much they care about the guest experience. Updated from 3 to 4 stars

    Went on a Saturday for my 40th birthday. The performances were fantastic! They are so great to watch. Love how they get the crowd involved. Our server was not the greatest. She was either overwhelmed or just didn't care. Food was bland and my steak wasn't even warm when i got it. Definitely not cxooked medium either. Potatoes were cold as well. All 12 of us agreed that it was not good. Took the server almost 20 min to get my fishbowl drink. Order 2 drinks at a time or you won't ever get one. I felt bad for the 1 bartender that was there. He was so busy. The hightop tables are so wobbly that i thought i was gonna to it over trying to cut my steak. So go to the late show and eat before you go. The dancers will NOT disappoint! Will definitely go back for the next show!

    Show started extremely late but still ended on time. The performers did well rushing through. The Chain act was fabulous and odd that it was the opening event. Food was extremely over priced. For what you get.

    Hey y'all! Just wanted to leave a quick review for the burlesque show I went to last night. The show was absolutely dazzling and the drinks were strong (watch out, they definitely pack a punch). Our server Dean was amazing and took great care of us all night. The food was also really good - we got chicken and steak and I'm not sure why people have complained in the past. I asked Dean (we became friends after a few drinks) I heard they had to fire their old chef and hire a new one, so maybe that explains the improvement. All in all, a great night out and I'd definitely fun fun fun.

    10/10 experience from the dancers to the food. I came in for a friends birthday and it was such a good time !! I dont remember his name but we had the server with the long dreadlocks and he was super attentive even though we could tell he was busy. He recommended the princess Leia drink and it was soooo good !!

    Staff was friendly as can be, the owner was super awesome and nice. The dinner was disgusting and I’d highly recommend the show without the food. 76$ steak was like dog meat, and it came 8 minutes before the show was over. Absolutely horrid. The rest of the atmosphere and people were great including the show.

    The boom boom room was a huge reason we decided to go to St. Louis for a bachelorette, and it was so worth it! The host was fabulous. The performers are so talented. I was not expecting so many circus acts. They all clearly love their job and they are excellent at it. Such an absolutely fun time! We all started losing our voices cheering!

  • 4/5 Jennifer M. 7 months ago on Google
    I sooo wish I could give 5 stars. I loved this place. The atmosphere, everyone was super friendly, especially the hostess. The show was amazing. The women seemed to thoroughly enjoy enjoy themselves and put on a really entertaining revue. The Emcee was also so funny. The food is where it lost it for me. We didn't get our food til 15 minutes before the show was over. My potatoes were not even cooked a little nor was the asparagus. My steak was okay but my husband's wasn't. It was just disappointing because it was fairly expensive. I would recommend going to a later show and just skip the food because this place is a gem and I'd still go back.

    The Dahl & I we're invited to the Boom Boom Room last night. We had an absolute blast!! Our server, Rae, took excellent care of us all night. We ordered two different shrimp appetizers that were outstanding. The main course comes out during the show. I ordered steak and the Dahl ordered salmon. Now you all that know me, know I Have a culinary soul and will review food honestly. Chef Currie, you knocked it out of the park. That steak was so flavorful & juicy. You can also tell they use quality meat. The Dahl's salmon was perfectly cooked. Portions were decent and the prices were fair. Ok, The show... The MC was absolutely perfect. She has a very sweet soul and a real natural knack to host a show. The Burlesque Showgirls were fabulous. These girls not only entertained you, they took you back and delivered a real burlesque experience. We highly recommend this place, if you want a great date night for a fun place to take a group This is an A+ option. We met with the owners at the end of the show. You can tell their heart and soul is in this establishment 100%.

    We went to the Halloween show and it was amazing. The food was great, I got the steak and wings. The atmosphere was on point for Halloween and the girls were spooktacular. The staff were efficient and I really can't find anything to nitpick!

    We had been to the boom boom room at its previous location and was expecting a similar show in a bigger venue. We had previously attended the dinner show and had to attend the late show this time as the earlier show was sold out. The late show is definitely different. Every number ends with pasties. There is less mystery and teasing as is usual with burlesque. We truly felt like we were at a strip show instead of a burlesque show. The performances were well done, the choreography was excellent. We were seated directly in front of the speakers and it was so loud we could not tell what song was being played. The audience was drunk, loud, and we were flashed numerous times by members of the audience.

    Went to the Boom Boom Room and attended a Friday dinner-show and was pleasantly surprised by the improvement in the food. It used to be just okay, but now it is amazing! The standout of the night was definitely Valerie Vortex and her pole performance. She was hot hot hot, and put on a fantastic show. Thanks for the kind words Val. Can I call you Val? :) The staff were all friendly and attentive, making sure that everyone was comfortable and having a good time. Even when my friend dropped the HUGE light-up fish bowl of deliciousness.

    This place has yet to disappoint. We attended their Star Wars Show, and OMG, they took such good care of us. We were on our last date before our wedding, my fiancé made reservations and told them this, and called to ask about the food because the seasonings in the fall did not quiet agree with me. The Lady was cheerful and helpful, she remembered us when we got there we had Great Seats, and they remembered how I wanted my steak down to the detail! I love this place and so going back for another last date before the wedding!

    My wife and i went on my birthday, the food was excellent and the entertainment was better. Had a great time, would definitely recommend you go sometime, you wont regret it.

    The show was amazing . It was a true delight . As a artist it was also inspiring....Ryan was literally breathtaking dancing to Roaxan.. I wish I could make it to the speak easy . I did not get pictures because I was so vested in the show . However I am posting my two drawings I've done of my two favorite woman dancing.

  • 5/5 Hailey S. 1 year ago on Google
    The show, the performers - 5 stars!!!! The food - 2 stars. Entrees are wayyyyyy overpriced for the quality of the food. The appetizers were better. The service - 3.5 stars. I think our server did the best she could, she was clearly very busy, but that meant she wasn’t able to come by our table very often. it was difficult to order more drinks. Maybe they’re understaffed? Overall, next time I think I will just skip the dinner show and go for the late show :)

    Went to the early show Friday. Beautiful performances, all of them were fantastic! I enjoyed the crowd participation and cheering loud to support these stunning artists!! Food was delicious and drinks were potent! I cannot wait to go back. If you are in St Louis you have to visit The Boom Boom Room!

    We had a blast celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary there last night. The show was funny, sexy, unique, and thrilling!! The dinner was just ok and wish we got dessert with our meal but other than that service was fabulous, drinks amazing, and dancers friendly and beautiful!!
