Cute St. Louis dive bar. It's been the Famous Bar at least 25 years and was a bar before that. It has poker tables and minimal snacks (m&ms, jerky, crackers) and you can bring your own food in. Known for its martinis and bloody Mary's.
There's street parking or a small parking lot in back.

You can’t go wrong with the Famous Bar it’s been around forever, it’s a martini bar with all male bartenders. Great drinks, neighborhood vibe, very approachable and comfortable.

James is an amazing bartender! He made me feel at home right as I entered the door. Their espresso martinis are PHENOMENAL. They have a great aesthetic and maintain the integrity of a historical 1900s building. Also, they have 2 pool tables for any skilled players out there. This place is definitely a hidden gem of South City.

It was good but no food and not a lot of options. The bloody mary's were very good, though.

A great dive bar with awesome martinis. They have Billiards as well! The bartends are pretty cool and the drinks are decently priced. You’ll have to check out if you’re looking for fun bar vibes.

Dave is hands down the greatest bar tender this side of the Mississippi! Makes a phenomenal extra extra extra diiirrrrrttttttyyyy martini, adds insightful ideas to conversations of all sorts, and is very easy on the eyes. Imagine a really hot version of Bill Burr, but with way prettier eyes! Come check out the excellent service and staff at The Famous Bar.

Decent place to have a drink, bar tenders seemed a little short but held it down not a bad place over all good environment.

I've driven past this place dozens of times and never noticed it was here - what an absolute hidden gem! Super chill and friendly staff, unfussy decor, and drinks for any preference (though in particular their martinis reputations are well-earned). Do yourself a favor and stop in. I definitely will be again.
