Signatures · checked 2026-09-03
St. Louis happy hour has a house style: a tight clock, a printed list, and food priced to keep you seated. These are the signature sips and bites the venues themselves post — with prices only where the bar published them.
Sips the houses name
Brasserie by Niche in the Central West End (4580 Laclede) posts Cinq à Six Sunday–Thursday 5–6 PM: house wine $6 glass, beer $5, aviation $10, cosmopolitan $10, dark 'n' stormy $10, and dark 'n' partly cloudy $5. Pastaria in Clayton posts daily 4–5:30 PM: draught beer $6, glass of house wine $6, long drink $4, and cocktails $10. Ramsay's Kitchen downtown posts Sunday–Wednesday 4–6 PM and all day Thursday in RK Bar: wine by the glass $10, specialty cocktails $14, rotating drafts $7. Molly's in Soulard (816 Geyer) posts Tuesday–Friday 3–7 PM with $1 OFF ALL DRINKS — the longest clock of the four.
Bites worth crossing the street for
Brasserie's dine list prints cured olives $5.50, cervelle de canut $7.50, side of frites $6.50, frites with fried eggs $8.50, and the brasserie cheeseburger at $12 single and $16 double.
