Par is my favorite hangout. Great atmosphere and friendly crowd. Bartenders are highly trained and fast. I love that smoking is only allowed outside on the patio now. The pizza is made fresh and served late. You have to get there early on the weekends to get a seat. After dinner in Clayton we always hit Par!
Always fun and laid-back. Never actually eaten food here, but the bar service has always been great.
Mostly undiscovered. Except for Saturdays and maybe Fridays, Par is often practically deserted. With two circles of sofas, several tables, and a lengthy bar, on weeknights Par is perfect for an intimate date or an outing with friends where you can actually hear each other talk. On weekends you'll still be able to find a seat and there's a good chance your group can even claim some sofas, but it's more hit and miss and don't expect to hear anyone beyond your own sofa.
As for the drinks? The beer selection is nothing to write home about, but will satisfy most drinkers with a range from mass-marketers like PBR and Budweiser to domestic specialties like Fat Tire, Blue Moon, and Schlafly and imports like Guinness. None of the gourmet 750mls here, but even snobs will find something. The specialty drink menu is well-edited and well-mixed, with the "Uncle Bobby" (blueberry vodka and lemonade) making my list of favorite cocktails in St. Louis. It's even served in a pint glass with just the right amount of ice, making it a terrific deal AND delicious.
The best deal around, though, is the top-shelf stuff, in particular the scotch. My favorite scotch connoisseur informs me that their best scotch is not only quite good, but dramatically underpriced. Check it out if you're itching to try some better stuff while not busting your wallet.
Oh, and one more reason to hit Par on a weeknight: there's an all-night happy hour Monday through Thursday, featuring $1.50 PBR, $2 Bud, and $3 wells. Are you sold yet?
Par... Welllllll. If you want an after hours destination. This is the place for you. Amazing bartender s amazing security and a crowd so tight you better have your A-game on point. The only issue we had were the bathrooms. There was a line for 15 minutes but considering all the people in there it was expected . Hands down a parrrrrty crowd. Lots of energy🤩😊
Best St. Louis 3am bar! Love the staff and atmosphere. My drink is always made perfect!
Super cool place with great drinks. Lindsay was my bartender and even with the bar full of people, I could tell she wanted to make sure I was set when I got up there.
This place is really cute seems more like a club vibe but no one is dancing. I didn't like that there is a cover since it's just a bar. Seems like a great place for cute people in their 20s and 30s to hang out and meet singles.
Let's be real - Par is just ok. lol When it's super busy it's a bottle neck and drinks take fifty years to get. It's a cool place to go to see and be seen but that's about it
What a cool place!! I had a great experience and will definitely be back! I love the couches they have set up. Perfect place to watch a game and chat with friends.
Upscale bar with a nice vibe. Gets crowded in the main area which is a little frustrating. People tend not to migrate to the back of the bar. It's in the city so open until 3am as well. Parking is also a problem so get there before the after 1ish rush or Uber there.
Went back to Par for the first time in like seven years tonight. Exactly the same as I remember, which was great actually. They still have the super cozy lounge sofas and still serve late night pizza!
Only problem here was that, in a half hour or so, all the same drunky mush heads from Napoli had invaded and were doing the same thing they did at Napoli - - linger around the bar, block walking paths, and not let you get in to close your tab out lol.
Wish they had draft, but that's ok. Prices are a bit higher than the average bar. But the staff is great, the selection is great, and the patrons are awesome.
Service can be a little slow but that's because the place can be really crowded. No fault on the bartenders. They are all friendly and always get the order correct... Even when ordering for multiple people.
Attentative service, best frat boy bar in town. Lawyers wearing jean jackets. Still a great place. Bartenders are top notch. January 2019
This place is great. Good Music, Drinks, Games, People. You will enjoy yourself, because there is no place quite like it in St. Louis.
Always a good time and love the mixed crowd not just saying men a woman but blacks and whites its welcoming
Everything was ok except the bartender. She made me wait a ridiculous amount of time for a beer even though the bar was slow and she watched me come in.
outdoor seating with fire pit, comfy indoor seating and there's a jukebox! I hear there's a secret menu and the drink prices are all the rage.
