The Moonshine Blues Bar — Restaurant in Saint Charles

I am an Office Manager at a construction company, and one of my jobs is to plan and coordinate events. We had our company Christmas Party which was held at Moonshine Blues Bar. I posted on the "What's Happening in St. Charles?" Facebook page looking for recommendations on venues for a group of 50 looking to let loose, have good food and drinks, and have fun. Laura reached out informing us that Moonshine Blues Bar was exactly what I was looking for. And she was so right.

First and foremost, a huge thank you to the bartenders, Megan and Jen. They were absolutely AMAZING! Their energy, professionalism, and ability to keep everything running smoothly really made the event feel special. Not to mention, they were so friendly and personable, making sure everyone had exactly what they wanted. They truly went above and beyond.

The food was nothing short of phenomenal. We’re so grateful for all the hard work that went into it. There was a bit of a hiccup with the food (my fault). However, we’re extremely thankful for how Laura handled everything, with Megan's assistance. The food turned out to be delicious, and we couldn’t have asked for a better spread. They truly went the extra mile to ensure we had an amazing experience.

I also have to shout out the Brad Alan Band. Laura ALSO helped me with booking the band, she gave me her best recommendations, contact information, and helped with coordinating with them. They played great music, set the tone for the night, and allowed us to converse while listening to their amazing talents. I'd recommend them to anybody, and I'm SO thankful Laura helped point me in their direction.

We are already looking forward to next year’s event and, without a doubt, we plan to make this an annual tradition, whether it’s for Christmas or even just a casual group gathering. The guys had an absolute blast and are still raving...

I used to love this place. Was willing to pay more for the chance to taste bourbon and whiskey that you can't find in other bars. I had even recommended in the past to a ton of folks that I knew were into good bourbon. I will never go back (or recommend the place) after last night. Service was dreadful as the bar tender was more interested in doing shots with the group of customers at the corner of the bar that waiting on folks. She yelled for last call (a good hour before closing time) and then proceeded to yell at the group she had just done shots with "no puking at my bar." I was finally able to get through to the rail on the bar only to be yelled at by her "I am done making drinks tonight." Just terrible service (we had to go to the bar as no one was about to come out from behind it and take orders) and dreadful experience. Bar Louis is right around the corner and while there selection may not be as extensive it is good enough for me. I am not going to stand by and be treated like this by such rude and inconsiderate bar tenders...

I wouldn't even give this place one star except the Jeremiah Johnson Band was excellent. Pork sandwich was dry potato salad was crunchy. No good sitting. Bartenders were very sour faced you have to go to the bar to get your drinks they never come to you. Outrageously priced. First time I told them I wasn't happy with food all she said was sorry and threw it in trash. When I went to pay tab I mentioned it again and all she said was I can give you 25% off. Do not recommend and will...
