The Haunt — Restaurant in St. Louis

This was my local Watering Hole when I lived in the lou... It's a Melting Pot of all different colors and creeds. I've never really had any problems there the patio is excellent Chuck always tries to have lots of different bands come through and usually he will put their music on his iPod which is kind of neat so it shuffles through local bands near and far. They do stuff for birthdays each month usually they'll have a zodiac sign birthday party.it is a Halloween themed bar so there's all kinds of neat stuff all over the walls movie posters and little Ghouls and ghosts and goblins and what-have-you is all kinds of neat stuff so you and if you're into that kind of thing kind of the gothic thing then that's your place they have karaoke a lot of times they have parties for all the different holidays and usually when they have food there is a great selection people go out of their way and Chuck usually goes out of his way to barbecue some good food...it is definitely dog-friendly I guess it would be cat-friendly if you normally take your cat out but I guess I would just say it's pet friendly they do not have a kitchen per se but they have frozen pizzas and I believe some other stuff like pretzels like Pub pretzels and as I stated before the company is usually pretty good....not always the most packed place but never know some night should go in there and be you know wall-to-wall some that should go in there and it just might be you know 5 to 10 people. Overall its a great lil dive....Thursday nights are one of their most hopping nights it's karaoke and Kelsey the bartender is very sweet and very beautiful... It's a place where weird is accepted.... Hope this helps...

1 star because my basic rum and coke drink was good. If it wasn’t, it would be a zero. We waited almost 13 mins to even order our drinks, and that was just the start. The bartender was incredibly rude, and seemed heavily intoxicated. She point blank said she didn’t want to be there and gave every customer a hard time. When a person from my group asked her if she was aware that a very drunk customer had just left the bar and got in a car to drive home, she got incredibly defensive and started arguing with us. Her boyfriend got up, took his vest off, and stared intensely at us, as if he was going to fight us, because we brought up the VERY drunk driver they let leave and drive away. The drunk driver seemed to be a regular, they knew his name, and she told him to “be safe” when he was exiting the bar. She asked us how we got there, and we explained that we walked, she asked if we expected everyone to do so. No, we just expect people to walk or to uber once too drunk. Or for the bar to have a fully aware bartender who can recognize when to cut customers off so they will be safe getting home. I won’t be returning to the bar, it is clear that the bartender does not care about the customers. Once we realized it was an issue, my friend ask to close out his tab so we could just leave, and had to ask 15 times, as she just continued to argue and not give us the ticket so we...

Halloween every day of the year? Yes please! The staff here has always treated us well and the regulars are easy to warm up to. The decor is totally bitchin' if you're into spooky stuff. Drink prices are always fair and you definitely get what you pay for. They have a nice pool table in the middle of the bar, (Might be free on Tuesdays, don't quote me) and have a pool league there as well. Bathrooms are small and the cleanliness largely depends on your fellow patrons by the time you use it, but it definitely gets cleaned regularly. patio is great. There is a covered smoking section that is enclosed and heated in the winter and opened up in the summer. Have fire a pit and plenty of patio seating any month outside of October. They do a haunted house in the back patio section for Halloween that is actually really good for the space they take up with live actors and all that, they charge different prices for it over the years but it's usually like 10 bucks and if it's super slow they'll might let you do it for free... Good drinks, good times,...
