Rank 2. The Gin Room
Cocktail Bar
The back bar holds somewhere north of 300 gins, which tells you everything about what kind of place this is. A neighborhood gin bar tucked into south St. Louis, it runs tastings, classes, and flights for the curious, though you can just order a Negroni and mind your own business. The team landed a James Beard semifinalist nod for Outstanding Bar. Regulars know to ask for whatever the staff are excited about that week.
