Description

Brennan's has achieved must-go status among St. Louisans. The quaint Central West End cigar bar and wine market recently got a big city renovation, adding to its already considerable allure. The bar on the main floor of Brennan's is presided over by a billboard-sized sign, with text that changes regularly. Recent offerings: "When a smoking Indonesian toddler looks cooler than you, it's time to reevaluate your Ed Hardy gear," and "Chuck Norris will be upstairs this evening playing ping pong with an ironing board and a watermelon." An unmarked door in the middle of the room leads to the modern-day speakeasy in the basement cellar.

    You don't go to Brennan's for designer cocktails, and you don't go for a blurry stream of canned domestics and shots of paint-thinner-flavored brown liquor. The former cigar bar (you can still get that in the private lounge upstairs or the now-adjacent tobacconist) is a perfect middle ground, the one truly comfortable neighborhood bar in the generally aggressive Central West End scene. And at the heart of it is Adam Lough, there most nights and the single biggest contributor to the warm... More »

  • 2009 | Best Outdoor Drinking

    On a warm evening in the Central West End, conversation, smoke, laughter and wine breath will surely be blooming off the sidewalk tables in front of Brennan's. This, we're here to tell you, is the perfect vantage point from which to marvel at the rich parade of humanity -- from chic to shabby, cool to clueless -- that inhabits the CWE's nerve center at Maryland and North Euclid avenues. Inside, Dominican cigars are on offer, along with plates for light nibbling, a varied selection... More »

  • 2005 | Best Place to Time-Travel to the Prohibition Era

    Sure, we all just want to put on our glad rags and sip some giggle water. But it's like this, doll: The wrong person sees you slipping into a juice joint, and you're gonna get pinched. Play it nice and easy by going to Brennan's in the Central West End. Stroll in like you own the place, like you're just there for some fancy French cheese and maybe a cigar. Then -- cool, babe -- walk through the door behind the cash register and down the narrow stairs. Look around. The cat's meow, eh? Dark... More »

    This is by far my favorite bar in the West End, if not in St. Louis! The atmosphere is amazing, and all you have to do is go up or down a level if you're feeling something different. The staff is amazing; always helpful and courteous. The prices are a bit high, but well worth what you're paying for in my opinion. And, the music selection is always great!!

    Laid back downstairs, louder and rowdier crowd upstairs.

    This place is great - especially their patio! If you go on Wednesday they have "debate nights" which are very entertianing! Highly recommend this place!
