This is the second time I've been here and it is now one of my new favorite haunts. It has that speakeasy feel without the fake vibe. The mixologists are on point and I'm picky. Jeff was my personal favorite buy we had Dave last night and he was awesome too. They told me a lot of history and it was honestly just a vibe you have to see for yourself. #bestdrinksintown 100%

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. I have never had another Bloody Mary that comes close to thier "famous" mary, it tastes like your eating a steak! I remember loving one with a picked greenbean, years ago, too.

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.

Cute dive. 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.

One of the best dives in St. Louis (can’t say enough about the espresso martini and the ambience)! Please get a new awning!

Blink and you'll miss this cozy bar nestled on Chippewa in south Saint Louis. I have driven by this place for years and never thought to stop in. I wish I had sooner. This bar has some of the finest martinis I've ever had. The atmosphere is friendly, warm, and local. If you're looking for a comfy lounge vybe to grab a martini, look no further.

Very nice place I definitely recommend going. If you go once you'll be back. The beer is always cold and the drinks are mixed perfectly!

Pool tables, good mixed drinks and they lost Adam Levine their look a like bartender too bad but some people did have a problem with him. We never did. Treat yourself. Busy on weekends and a moderately later to mid thirties crowd.

Decent place to have a drink, bar tenders seemed a little short but held it down not a bad place over all good environment.

I've driven past this place dozens of times and never noticed it was here - what an absolute hidden gem! Super chill and friendly staff, unfussy decor, and drinks for any preference (though in particular their martinis reputations are well-earned). Do yourself a favor and stop in. I definitely will be again.

Dave is hands down the greatest bar tender this side of the Mississippi! Makes a phenomenal extra extra extra diiirrrrrttttttyyyy martini, adds insightful ideas to conversations of all sorts, and is very easy on the eyes. Imagine a really hot version of Bill Burr, but with way prettier eyes! Come check out the excellent service and staff at The Famous Bar.

Neat little bar hidden in the neighborhood, great martinis and shots, I'll be back to play pool!

I paid a bill in cash and still have not got refunded for the amount that they took off my card. I contacted the owner no response. Bad busines

Best Bloody Marys in town. Great bartender. Can't remember his name but he can make a drink

It was good but no food and not a lot of options. The bloody mary's were very good, though.

Good old fashions and service. Old school speak easy decor. Pool tables.

James is an amazing bartender! He made me feel at home right as I entered the door. Their espresso martinis are PHENOMENAL. They have a great aesthetic and maintain the integrity of a historical 1900s building. Also, they have 2 pool tables for any skilled players out there. This place is definitely a hidden gem of South City.

You can’t go wrong with the Famous Bar it’s been around forever, it’s a martini bar with all male bartenders. Great drinks, neighborhood vibe, very approachable and comfortable.

I am a Romani women and I went with my Hispanic, Pakistani and black friends and when my friend who is black was ordering a drink the bar tenders were mocking her and were saying she was broke because she did not tip yet until he made both the drinks. They didn’t want to serve her and said get someone else to do it. 0/10 will never go here again racist and disgusting place
