I had a great experience on a Saturday night. Our waiter George was great and made sure our drinks fit the taste we were looking for. The cocktails were great but the food was phenomenal. The shrimp and grits and crab dip were amazing. They have such a great atmosphere, can’t wait to visit again.

Beautiful lounge with great vibes! We came for the espresso martini after reading the reviews and were not disappointed. The martinis were smooth and silky, just how we like them. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
A special touch: the owner took a photo of us and later gave it back in a paper frame—such a thoughtful gesture! We’ll definitely come back next time we’re in STL.
100% recommend

I took my cousin to The Moniker for her birthday. The decor, the thoughtful details, and even the glassware were all top-notch. The customer service made us feel like family; the hostess at the front desk even took photos of us and made us feel so welcomed. The owner curated special drinks, letting us taste a variety of unique cocktail styles and flavors. The chef’s creations were absolutely delicious. Even the bathroom was beautifully decorated! I’ll definitely be returning, and my cousin was completely blown away by the experience. Highly recommend it for a quick bite or night out.

The melon cocktail paired really well with the food! Everything we tried was delicious, and I’m glad we checked this place out. Some dishes do have a bit of heat, so keep that in mind. The only downside was that they were out of the salad we wanted, which would’ve added a nice cool element to the meal.

I am a review reader in general so it was imperative for me to leave a review. My friend and I decided to stop in on yesterday which was a Thursday evening. Moniker is literally everything! The level of service was one that was unforgettable, the energy from the staff was nothing less than pleasant, the aesthetics were everything as well. Honestly, you can order off the menu or let the bartender showcase his gift! Everything he provided was tasty, the details were beautiful and the experience in itself was all around pleasant. I love places that you can honestly go get small bites, nice cocktails and it’s not a club and moniker was perfect for that! We had great conversation with strangers, and we all left feeling as if we’ve know each other just from sharing how amazing our experiences were ! Next, the chef!!!! The flavor in the food omg! The bites may be small, but the flavor speaks rather loudly ! Nonetheless! Please check them out. This place is truly a gem! Can’t wait to be a regular lol

The Moniker isn’t just a bar — it’s a whole vibe. Chic, creative, and absolutely the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever wasted calories anywhere else.
Food first: the hummus came out creamy and bright with pita, bread, and carrots — basically the gateway snack that kept us dipping for more. The shrimp and grits? Rich, velvety, and the kind of comfort food that whispers, “yes, you deserve this.” The black-eyed pea bruschetta shocked me by being one of the table favorites — smoky, tangy, piled high, and impossible to stop at one bite. And the Asian beef tartare with that golden yolk? Bold, beautiful, and an absolute show-off (in the best way).
Now the cocktails — and this is where The Moniker flexes. The Blue in the Face looked like modern art in a glass and tasted just as layered and fun. The Tiramisu Espresso Martini? Pure dessert goals — creamy, chocolatey, dusted with cocoa, and borderline dangerous because it’s too easy to drink. The Jalisco Manhattan gave a sexy tequila-forward twist to a classic. And the Kettle Corn Martini stole the spotlight — smoky butterscotch with an actual side of kettle corn. I mean… who does that? (Answer: The Moniker, and it’s genius.)
The vibe? Sleek design, great energy, and that perfect balance of upscale without being pretentious. Whether it’s date night, girls’ night, or just treating yourself like the star you are, this place delivers.
If you want food that’s way better than “bar food” and cocktails that make you feel cooler just holding them, The Moniker should be non-negotiable on your list.

Just had the best afternoon at The Moniker! Be bold and try these amazing and creative cocktails, they do not disappoint! The small bites apps were delicious and savory. Incredible hospitality and attention to detail! The Moniker uplifts the downtown cocktail scene. We will absolutely be returning! (P.s. they have a food grade bubble machine for extra pizazz)
