Urban

I love the coconut mojitos! The drinks are unique and delicious. Urban truly portrays a lounge atmosphere with great music. The bartenders are also enjoyable to conversate with. Only pitfall is you can smell like smoke afterwards but the coconut mojitos trump that by far.

I want to still be a cool kid who doesn't mind smoky environments. I really do. But I just can't pretend. I love the vibe of Urban- dark, lounge-y, warm, inviting, great music, nice bartender. But the SMOKE. Wowza. It's thick. Be prepared to wash everything when you get home- including your handbags, ladies.  Will I brave the wall of smoke to go back again? Most likely- but I'll need to limit my lung exposure and come up with a cleansing plan for the day after.

Probably my new favorite spot in St. Louis.  I met some friends here last Friday and just chilled at the bar side which was awesome.  Why am I a fan of this place? Maybe because of the awesome music? Maybe because of the excellent bartending? Maybe because of just how not cramped the place is? Or maybe it was the people I was with? I think it was a combination of all of those things and this place kind of brought it all together.

Like others have stated, the drinks are pretty cheap and the bartenders do take care of you.  The crowd pretty much keeps to themselves and are there to listen to music, drink, talk and relax.  I think I've found one of the better dive bars in St. Louis and I can't wait to go back.
