Co-workers and I work around the corner. We USED to go on a regular basis, but recently was over charged by $50.00. When I questioned the bill, the waitress was very crass and acted very unprofessional. The manager would not listen to me or others at the table, and took the waitresses side. The Hive has now lost at least 50 regular customers and hopefully more.
Review Source:The Hive is a two story dive with a deck that hires milfs to serve to middle age or older West county men. Â (If you are looking for a "sugar daddy"... ;)
The milf bartender was nice and allowed me to get a pitcher of beer price on 4 pint glasses. Â The tap selection was all large brewery & mostly light beers, but I was on a lunch break so I was O.K. Â The milf made the joke about men being visual and gave me 4 poker chips and took one away for the first beer.
I ordered the 'taco salad" and quickly was served a very large bowl of romaine, barely seasoned ground beef, tomatoes, cheese and black olives with a side of chips & bland salsa. Â The value for under $8 was ok, but needed more taste.
A good dive just to relax is always a welcome place in West County.
Four of us stopped in for a quick lunch on the way back from a meeting. Â All seemed well - we were given menus and had our drink orders taken. Â The menu looked nice... pretty standard fare here, with a few that sounded awesome. Â Bacon spinach wrap with hot bacon dressing? Â Sign me up. Â Plus they had several appetizing sandwiches and burgers.
Upon having our order taken, however, I was immediately turned off. Â My co-worker ordered a salad and asked if she could order some bread on the side. Â The waitress said "ok..." Â So my co-worker asked what kind of bread they had, and our waitress just rolled her eyes and, irritated, spouted off "white, wheat, I don't know, what do you want?" Â
Then, when it was my turn to order, I simply asked her opinion of what was more popular, the taco salad or the bacon spinach wrap? Â She literally rolled her eyes, stomped her foot a bit and said huffily "I don't know, what are you in the mood for? Mexican? Spinach?" Â Gee thanks for the tip.
Now, I generally like to be fun and flirty with waitstaff, and usually get a big laugh when a server pokes fun at me - I can take the heat and enjoy dishing it right back. Â But this was clearly not the case - this was an annoyed server who had an attitude with her customers. Â
The food came out, and the taco salad I ordered was big but nothing to write home about. Â Too bland for my taste - I couldn't taste any taco seasoning and I would have preferred actual dressing as opposed to just sour cream and salsa. Â
The food was just OK, and the service was actually decent, but our waitress' attitude ensured I would never be back. Â I'll take my money to a place that doesn't make me feel like I'm bothering them by patronizing their restaurant.
Great Creve Coeur dive bar. Nothing like staring at a Matador while taking a leak! (I think it used to be a Mexican joint) There are a mix of people all the way from the neighborhood drunk to some pro sports figures. Over all it is a good place to grab a drink and late night pizza. Try the hot sauce on the pizza, its great!! One last thing... Be careful when ordering mixed drinks, the tab can get pretty high!
Review Source:Had there been another installment, the Back to the Future franchise may have shot a scene here had Marty and Doc needed a location for the 60s or 70s. The Hive still awaits. Don't get me wrong, this is my neighborhood dive, and I'll take a dive over a pretentious snot bar any day. The food is alright, though there isn't much for veggies here. I usually get the spinach salad with bacon on the side for my critters, and something other than hot bacon dressing. The salad is generously portioned and pretty good. The atmosphere is LOUD. What?! It's loud! And your ears will usually be assaulted by wall shaking trendoid pop. The service here is dicey, unless you're a regular, then you might just get a PG rated version of a lap dance, while less recognized customers await, parched and frustrated. Nevertheless, the price is right, and it is MY dive bar.
Review Source:I just moved in to the apartments across the street and walked over for some dinner and a beer or 2. It is your typical dive bar with no plans of hiding that fact. They had young blonde waitesses and bartenders wearing next to nothing and they were flirty and fun. They make no bones about the fact that you can smoke inside and have a sign that says if you don't like it leave. There are lots of friendly regulars along with the creepy old regular drinking water and staring at the girls. The wings were OK, but not great. Drink prices were good and all in all I will be going back since I can walk. Would I drive here for across town - no. Just can't handle all of that smoke.
Review Source:What is there to say about the Hive? Â It's you're quintessential dive bar. Â Cheap beer, questionable crowd, poor food (if anyone has ever ordered it), and average service. Â It gets 3 stars because it's not trying to hide anything, and really cheap drink gets you at least 3 stars on its own. Â Plus in the summer time the outdoor patio is really nice, no matter what the inside looks like. Â I'm a sucker for a dive bar.
Review Source:Updating my review and adding a star for the outdoor patio. For some reason, the first time I came, I didn't see it even though it is right by the entrance. Probably because it was the dead of winter then and all I could focus on was getting inside. Anyways...
The outdoor patio is pretty nice! Small area (only about 10-12 small tables), but especially now that the weather is nice, it was a pleasant experience.
However, this place is aptly named The Hive because there were a TON of giant bees everywhere! Maybe that's why they named it that...?
One of my favorite spots for a drink after work. They have pretty good bar food and Their Fish Sandwich is delicious and perfect for those who observe Lent. The wait staff is very easy on the eyes as well.
The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is the fact that it tends to be very smoky in there.
This little place is the perfect place for an after-hour drink for anyone who works in the Westport/Creve Couer area.
It definitely has the "dive bar" vibe going on, but most of the patrons tend to be businessmen and women with the occasional college-age person. They have great happy hour specials. You really can't beat appetizers at half-price and pitchers of beer for five bucks.
The food is your average bar and grill food; it's not stellar, but you won't be disappointed, either. My only complaint is the surroundings. The inside could use an update...everything was pretty old and worn. But, you really can't beat it for an after-work beer.
The Hive, the Hive, the Hive, what can I say about this place. Well I stopped by there for dinner the other day. I was not quite sure what to expect from this place, so I went. I walked into the door and the place was warm and welcoming. The bartender told me to sit anywhere I liked, so I opted for outdoors on their patio. The weather was nice so it was full.
Well the waitress came up and she took our orders and we had a pitcher of beer since it was only five dollars, we could not pass that up. Our food eventually came. Â I ordered my one of my favorite sandwiches, the French Dip, and it tasted great.
The Hive is a great place to stop by for a meal. Most of the people seemed to be stopping by after work to have a drink or two and a bite to eat. Over all The Hive is a nice place to go.
