Historic Crossroads

I absolutely love this bar. Never a bad time. Friendly and great prices. Great outside atmosphere as well. Pets welcome.

I live in soulard and it’s a «locals «bar ! $ 2.00 Miller 16 Oz happy hour, are you kidding me. 1.00 hurricanes no shi t

This past Thursday, my friend and I were traveling down Broadway and he inquired about a bar neither one of us had heard of, right in Soulard. I’m glad we stopped in, even though this place was totally not our style.
If Martha Steward opened a bar, this would be it. Outside was a sign that you could hand carve pumpkins on Thursdays. We entered to the smell of pumpkin spice candles. The tables were adorned with doily table coverings. I think I saw a small child churning butter in the corner. Before we could get the courage to turn around and quickly exit, a kind yet inebriated voice from the bar encouraged us to have a seat.
We agreed to tell no other souls that we had been here, checked our man-​cards at the door, and sat down for a drink. The bar has about 5 seats in it. Each has its own place mat & candle. Allison Krause was playing from the bar maids iPod. Some of the glasses were of the crystal variety that your grandmother only used on Thanksgiving. Where the eff were we? How does this place even exist in the rough and tumble area of Soulard? She insisted that they’ve been here for ages.
We had a couple of rum drinks and actually enjoyed our time here. If you shop at Michael’s on a regular basis, have matching outfits with your significant other or pet, have a subscription to any craft magazine, or have ever knitted… check this place out. I’m sure they make some kind of pumpkin spice elixir that would be perfect for you.

Margie’s place is a hidden treasure of Soulard. I first stopped in on NYE and found a number of neighborhood folks having a relaxed time & Jack selling his Soulard Mardi Gras sweatshirts…(of course I had to buy one).
This is a cash only place, but they do have an ATM. Also, they do not serve food, but you can order from Joanie’s and have it delivered.
Drinks are cheap & the atmosphere can’t be beat… hey I’m rhyming with out even trying! ;)
Definitely worth a try!

I’m finding that I am stopping by this cozy little Soulard gem more and more for that wind down cocktail. So, I was shocked to find out that they have an upstairs party room. didn’t even know they had a second floor! If your looking for a small place to take your whole group of 30 – 40 friends for that after dinner continuation of a birthday celebration, etc. This place is worth checking out. You probably won’t need a reservation.

Great neighborhood bar, great people and best of all great beer prices.
