Foley’s

What’s not to love about a little Irish bar with the friendliest staff and the strongest, cheapest drinks! I debated giving 5 stars but then I remembered I have to wash the smoke out of my clothes and hair the second I get out of this place. Even still, I adore Foley’s!

If you aren’t a smoker, you are coming to the wrong place. You WILL walk out of here smelling like a pack of Marlboros and will have lost a week off your life expectancy. We all deserve a few vices though, and Foley’s delivers.
With that being said, I had a sneaky good time here. A great hole in the wall spot, with high ceilings that opens the place up. A great juke box to keep ya company, and a fantastic bar burger that is competitively delicious. 7 TVs to allow viewership of your favorite event and a 1:30 closing time to get that late night last round in. Foley’s certainly caters to a certain crowd and makes it quite clear they do. Come see for yourself.

Your average corner dive bar with great, cheap drinks made with a heavy hand.
Come thirsty, but have alternative plans for dinner. Not much in the way of food.
Darts, shuffleboard, pool, foosball.
Have been ere multiple times for parties– they serve the large groups well!

Love Foley’s. Never had a bad experience there. Great staff, inexpensive, heavy pours. Exactly what you want in a bar of it’s type.

We gathered here for a friends birthday and it was an a-​ok place to hang if you’re into the dive bar type setting.
Its situated in Maplewood across from the railroad tracks. You will see trains come by the entire night. It is small. The tables are typical bar tables and the chairs are falling apart so don’t expect a comfortable seat.
Foley’s has shuffle board, two pool tables, darts, the golf game and the hunter game. The bartenders are nice and helpful.
Smoking is still allowed inside so be prepared to smell like it once you leave.

1^st time, very nice neighborhood bar. Too bad smoking still allowed inside. Service very good.

Just got a call from the Owner who apologized for what happened

For what it is, Foley’s rocks my socks off.
It’s a shitty, smokey, grungy dive bar. The best kind around the area, if I may say so myself. Foley’s has shuffle board, two pool tables, darts, and Big Buck Hunter. They also have pitchers of beer for $ 6 and a sassy bartender to serve it up.
Non-​smokers will not be able to handle the fumes, but for everyone else, it’s a great affordable little dive to bring a group.

I thought I knew about every bar in St. Louis, but I’d never even heard of Foley’s until a friend suggested it to me yesterday.
This is my kind of place. Unpretentious. Cheap drinks. Friendly bartenders. Hidden deep in Maplewood next to some railroad tracks. This is an Angela kinda place.
Foley’s is a good place to:
— Play some free shuffleboard
— Play some $ 1 pool
— Play Big Buck Hunter!!!
— DAY DRINK
— Bring your uncle or dad
Foley’s is not a good place to:
–Wear nice clothes. They somehow still allow smoking here.
–Be a beer snob. I had a Goose Island, but that’s just ’cause I didn’t realize there were cans of Busch.
–Bring a lady. Unless it’s this lady.

a smoking bar still? so gross. I mean come on. Who does that anymore?

Good cheap food, lunch specials, $ 1.50 bud/​miller 4 – 6 weekdays. Fun bar to hang out at nights. Games in the backside, even shuffleboard. Pretty simple and laid back.

So, I have a… friend…who is a part of a running/​drinking club that meets every Wednesday night. A few weeks ago, this friend was responsible for picking the location of the after party. Because after running 5+ miles, nothing quenches the thirst better than an ice cold beer. At least that’s what my… uh…friend…says. I wouldn’t know. Me? Drink? Nahhhh.
After weighing some options in Maplewood, I… I mean, my FRIEND… decided that Foley’s would be a good location to keep the party going. It was perfect.
Location? Maplewood — stumbling distance home. For my friend. Not me.
Food? Plentiful. Served till midnight. Cheap.
Beer? $ 5 pitchers. Need I say more?
According to my friend, Foley’s also has karaōke on Wednesday nights. And I heard that she and her group of 20+ sweaty runner buddies rocked the mic RIGHT with Queen’s «Bohemian Rhapsody» while the bar’s regulars cheered them on. Yeah… it’s THAT kind of place. You know… according to my friend. It’s not like I was there or anything. Me? Drunkenly karaōke-​ing? Hah. Never. NEVER!
So yeah. Apparently this Foley’s place is pretty freaking AWESOME. I can’t wait to visit Foley’s again. I mean… I can’t wait to visit Foley’s for the first time EVER.
You know, if my delicate sensibilities will allow it.

This is one of those, hard to find, hole in the wall bars. It has a new addition on the side that has a pool table and a couple of games. The bartenders are great, and pour a great drink. It went smoke free back with the new regulations last year and I enjoy going in here much more often.
I also stop in on a regular basis for lunch. They have a great simple tasty menu. The burgers are really good. It’s a basic bar menu but has a great local appeal.
The weekend nights can get pretty busy and is certainly standing room only most of the times. It’s nothing fancy but that’s what makes it so great. Love this place.

Foley’s is not for the faint of heart. If you are the type that likes to be molly-​coddled, please go somewhere else. These people put their heart and soul into this place– I’ve never been to any place that embraces it’s patrons like family members like this bar does. I get a «hey hon!» every time. All walks of life converge here for a pint. Old vets, hippies (old and young), white collars, blue-​collars, alternatives, bankers, musicians, writers, artists, admen, college kids, whistful 30-​somethings, your mum, your dad, your dog, tough chicks, philosophers, drop-​outs– it’s magical. I miss the old jukebox, but if you play some Zeppelin on the new one– EVERYONE WILL SING AND CRY TEARS OF GUINNESS. Your plain T-​shirt will transform into an awesome wolf howling at the moon t-​shirt, and your partner will look a billion-​times hotter. I think you should go. Unless you want to complain and get all whiny, then don’t come. Please note the bullet-​holes in the ceiling and wall :)

Well anyone that knows me knows that I love my Foley’s! My husband and I frequent this place at least twice a month. And my coworkers and I meet up there quite a bit for happy hour, which cannot be beat in price. The bartenders are all great… a special shout out to Jules and Katie!
This is a laid-​back bar where you will see a wide variety of folks and are able to drink and eat cheap, but really well! The fries are freaking awesome and I personally recommend dipping them in the honey mustard… it’s magical.
I prefer being there during the week, as sometimes the crowd is a little younger on the weekends. It is a smoky place, so be prepared to wake up with cigarette hair, but I consider this as part of it’s charm.
