Reviews: What The People of STL Think of The Vandy and our Cocktails
——————-
“This is a real deal cocktail spot. It's got sophistication but it's cozy and super casual. The bartenders are extremely skilled mixologists, passionately crafting unique and expertly balanced cocktails! They use top notch spirits and fresh, high-quality ingredients.
The menu offers a blend of classic cocktails alongside new inventions. It's always buzzing in there. Pat makes a mean Negroni.
Since 2017 as BarKeep, they've been serving cocktails at pop-up events like sip n strip in Tower Grove, Mobot's Garden Glow, Frosted, etc. This spot is their brick-and-mortar spot in the Grove.
If you're a newbie, don't hesitate to ask tons of questions. If you're an expert, this will be one of your favorite cocktail spots in the country.”

"Enjoyable spot. Server suggested a drink that was honestly better than my favorite drink. He appeared to be the owner or manager. He was very friendly, knowledgeable about cocktails, and did not condescend when I didn’t know much about them. Five stars, will definitely return."

“Fantastic little place with amazing cocktails. The owner / bartenders know their stuff and have a wide selection of menu cocktails to appeal to any visitors...but also are skilled enough mixologist to invent on the spot.
Well worth a visit and I am extremely glad we found this place. Will be back.”
