International Tap House, Delmar — Restaurant in St. Louis

Located not far near the corner of Delmar and Skinker, parking was a beast. I was meeting up with a MeetUp group there and as soon as I stepped in, I was instantly overwhelmed by how crowded it was an also the weird smell (like sweaty men and booze). It was lots of college students (mostly males) there due to it being near Wash-U. I couldn't even find my MeetUp group right away so I went straight to the bar. The bartenders were on top of everything. It was only 2 of them against what seemed like a hundred patrons scattered throughout the venue. My friend joined me later and we chatted it up with the bartenders and ordered some none-Beer drinks. We had a Pink Tini, Disco Punch and Sam Smith's Organic Perry Cider. The cider was nice, cold and crispy. I definitely loved that! I'm not a huge crowds person so I may come back on a week night...

Sooooo many beer options. They also are a fully stocked bar. Ryan our bartender was great. Fun, cultured, held great conversation and made the entire room feel engaged and welcome. He was friendly about letting me sample a couple of stouts and a pilsner. He was quite knowledgeable on different drinks and what they carried here at the International tap house. The facilities marked for He and she were clean, smelled nice and had nice decor, some with funny quotes. There was a game section that I glanced by, as well as an ATM machine. I was allowed to vape inside. Nice. What stands out and is cool is that YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BRING YOUR OWN FOOD!!!!!! No fee. 😲 Like.....what?? This one is a no brainer. Get your arse down to this one on the...

Went here last night and had a couple beers. Beer was fine, the selection was good, but the service was enough to ruin it. Came in and my friend and I were very cordial to the gentleman (big guy with a beard) working the bar. We asked for his recommendation, what he likes, and he was very short with us. Fine, whatever. Then he spent the rest of the time chatting it up with some girls down at the bar, we could hardly get him over to close the check. When we did get his attention, he cut us off dismissively and said “in a minute”. I’m not sure who crapped in his coffee that morning, but I could not fathom a single thing we did to warrant his attitude. Very weird. Wouldn’t recommend this spot if that’s what the experience is...
