"Lest thirsty St. Louisans think that all of the metro’s quintessential dive bars are located in south city, Creve Coeur’s the Hive stands as a counterargument in all of its Keno and Golden Tee glory. While the two-story, yellow-shingled facade may look unpolished, it’s actually a hidden gem with a menu of beautifully executed bar staples like a top-notch Reuben sandwich, famous French onion soup, and their signature sandwich, a gravy-dunked roast beef monster that is alone worth the trip. But don’t let the no-frills feel of the place fool you; the Hive makes a seriously sippable spicy margarita, complete with Astral, a seasoned rim, and slices of jalapeno." - Vox Creative
