Great vibes, service, food, and cocktails! Not too busy on a weeknight, but picks up on the weekend and packed during their holiday popup.

What a cool twist on the yule tide bar scene. A tiki Santa bar! Get the frost bite and a wreck the halls and then surf on home. Before or after your blues game or Fox Theater shindig.

Absolute best for their food, and artisan and prohibition style cocktails. Very unique mocktail options are also available for everyone to be included in a celebration or toast.

came here with my partner to start off the night with some quality cocktails, & that’s just what we got. Loved our drinks & the atmosphere- we did not order food this time; maybe next time!

Went for happy hour dinner as one of our first stops in town. The burgers were both outstanding (the duck burger is just a bit more interesting in my opinion). The In a Pickle cocktail is hands down one of the best I’ve had (and we have our fair share of outstanding bars in Louisville)…this was signature drink material. If/when I am back, I will absolutely visit again.

This place is a throwback to classic drinks and magnificent food offerings. The bartenders are knowledgeable and will help you find the right drink for you or make you what you like. The bourbon and whiskey offerings are vast, and some are unique. I recommend Purgatory and The Last Word classic pre prohibition drinks that are remarkable, to say the least. It’s a good spot for a date or just a place to grab a drink and small bites alone. My bartender was Jeff, his knowledge and love for his craft go above and beyond epic. If you happen to go tell him, Lamont sent you.
Enjoy!

Attentive service, expensive menu. Patio was closed when we were there, not sure why, but apparently that’s the place to sit for it.
Average cocktail is $15 each, really good bartenders that guided us to good drinks.

9/24/2022: Had reservations for 2 at the bar. Really great cocktails. Ordered the tenderloin and lamb. Both very delicious!
FYI for out of town visitors. We were visiting from out of town so we had to take a Lyft to the restaurant from downtown St Louis. It was really difficult to get a ride on a Saturday night, there weren’t any drivers out. Took about 30 minutes for a ride.

Very cute pop up bar. The teriyaki steak lettuce wraps were really good. Strong drinks.

Planter’s House has always been one of those places on my radar but that I’ve never stopped in for. This changed this fall when my wife and I were at a work dinner. The reception ended early, and since we had a babysitter we weren’t quite ready to go home. On her suggestion we stopped in at Planter’s House for a drink on a Friday night around 9pm.
I can’t speak to the food as we didn’t order anything, but I’ll talk about the drink menu. This is what the restaurant is known for and man is there really list to choose from. The building itself is old, and you can feel that history seeping into the drink menu. Plenty of places have cocktails, here it felt like it was in the blood of the establishment. The cocktails really ran the gambit and many were things you don’t see on typical menus. I would hate to be a new bartender here as you would really have to learn a ton of drinks quickly.
The atmosphere of the place is enjoyable. The inside is modest, but there is a HUGE patio. I think Planter’s House would shine the most on those spring or fall evenings where it is just pleasant to sit outside. There is also a good happy hour T-F (4-6) and one that also runs on Sunday.
There are a couple drawbacks that kept me from giving the place five stars. Although the drink menu was extensive, the food menu is not. This could put you in a bind if you are wanting more than just drinks. This isn’t a huge concern, but you should know this is a drink first sort of establishment. The mixed drinks we got also were just fine, not amazing. Given how elaborately they are detailed, there was quite a bit of hype leading up to them.
