We had the most fabulous cocktail experience! Their Cinnamon Cocktail is a must try. Smoked and delicious! The service was outstanding and the atmosphere perfect for cocktails and catching up with friends. Highly recommend🌺.

Fantastic food, especially the lamb. The Negroni Jello Shot was like nothing I've ever had before. We also really enjoyed the Gin Tasting, we had so many interesting gins that we had never heard of before. We'll definitely be back!

We came for the gin, and fell in love with the food! Every single thing we ordered was exquisite! We both enjoyed some amazing seasonal gin cocktails, then Sean our waiter recommended the burrata salad which was so far and above any burrata I have had - the perfect summer salad with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and basil foam with little crispy Parmesan bits on the top! Then the meatballs and agnolotti were insanely good, and finally the pork chop with the figs, (!) braised fennel, hen of the woods mushroom and cider sauce. And our absolute favorite was the cannoli cheesecake which had a caramelized sugar crust- light and fluffy and amazing! Would go every day if we could. And the patio was so romantic - and GM was so gracious. Loved this place.

Stopped in for some cocktails and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The servers were knowledgeable and super friendly. The drinks were excellent — you're definitely paying for the quality and presentation, but for classic cocktails, it's worth it. That said… the food was a BIG miss. Prices are sky-high, portions are tiny (smaller than most appetizers), and the taste just didn’t justify the cost. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend eating here. I’ll definitely be back for the drinks, but I’ll be steering clear of the food menu next time.

Incredible food and service! Great vibes, and they really cater to a relaxed atmosphere. Only possible improvement I would add is to keep the lounge chair seating to a lounge area. Felt the chair was a bit too low for table dining.

Great atmosphere, service, and food. We had the burrata, meatballs, Mushroom risotto, and the espresso chocolate moose. The service was prompt and friendly in addition to being helpful to check back in at appropriate times. My favorite was their huge alcohol selection and unique craft cocktails.

My husband and I were stopping at Pizza head to grab a bite to eat and before I ordered I had to use the restroom. Saw the Gin room and figured Id pop in, go potty then return after we got food in our bellies. Super cute atmosphere, I would have grabbed a few drinks because I love Gin after we had our food next door but I was met with "we dont have a public restroom unless your paying" so.. we went across the street to the cute restaurant who allowed me to use the restroom no questions asked and we in turn had a drink there instead.

1st time going here. Sad it didn't live up to the hype. Not even close. As first-time guests , we were sat next to the front door when other tables were open. This door serves as the service door to outside, and it's close to 90 out, that alone started off the experience badly. For a so-called higher end place to serve me a can of Sprite is sad. I was driving, so no drinks. The can was Hoosier. It's odd to have multiple servers, but it works for them, and they did a good job. Food gets a shoulder shrug. Lamb pasta dish, lamb was overcooked the pasta was like gnocchi only hard. Shrimp ceviche was very good, to bad it's such a small portion that it's uneven for a couple to share. Hadn't had a date night in a few months, and kinda sorry we went here instead of a place we know is awesome. We will not be going out of our way to return here if we even do.

I gotta be honest, the cocktails are still very good here, but the service is no where near what it use to be. A friend and I stopped by for Happy Hour before attending a Earth Day event near by. We were seated at the bar and after looking at the main menu, we had to request a HH menu. It was as if they did not want us to order from that menu. If you're there before 5 PM, ask for the HH menu, the variety and pricing is well worth it. My friend enjoy a Dirty Mini -Tini and I had my favorite cocktail, a Manhattan from that special HH menu and they were stellar. We also share a small Meat and Cheese Plate for grazing. I wanted a second drink, so I tried a, Dry Rye Gin Old Fashioned and it was outstanding. It was smooth and totally refreshing. I am a huge fan of a traditional Old Fashioned and this one made with Gin was a nice twist. I'm taking a star away, because of their service. There was minimal interaction with the staff. When we wanted to order, we had to get their attention. The staff, while we were there seemed to be more interested in talking to each other at the end of the bar instead of attending to their guest.

Finally got a chance to try this gem and wasn't disappointed. This was recommended by my date, and I'm so glad we ended up here. We had a reservation and was immediately taken to our table once we arrived. It took me a minute to figure out what I wanted to drink because it was a lot of options. I settled on the "Val Got Gussied Up" interesting drink name, but it was good, and I'm glad our server recommended it. We started with the meatballs, and they were seasoned well. If you like gin, this is the place to be. My date ordered the short rib with yams, and I ordered the Mafalda, and it was delicious. We ended up getting two desserts at the end, and I had the cannoli cheecake and it was rich in flavor. I love this place, and it seems they change their menu often. The dining area, when you first come into the building, the chairs are so comfortable. If you're looking for something new to try, I would recommend this place. Until next time...

Have you ever met Natasha? She's gotta be the nicest, most welcoming, and gracious restaurant owner in the world! Anytime we walk in, we're met with smiles and hugs and questions of how we're doing! It's almost like you're walking into Natasha's house. I've been going to The Gin Room for a minute and we frequented Cafe Natasha (Salve) in college (2001-2005). I just aged myself. Also Natasha. What a bad ass. Do you understand what she's done for the Midwest Gin Scene? It's incredible! She offers over 300 types of gin at her establishment and throws "Ginworld" a huge gin exhibition every year in St. Louis! We recently attended one of Natasha's pop-up collaborations with Saigon Café and Mixed By Eddie. It was incredible. Thank you for those amazing veggie spring rolls. Can't wait for more popup collaborations! Excited for this.

A must visit for anyone who likes gin. Their collection is amazing. Get a gin flight and nerd out as they walk you through gins you've never had before. The people there are the most knowledgeable you are going to come across, and super friendly on top of it.

So I wasn't much of a gin person until visiting The Gin Room in St. Louis. Beautiful craft cocktails and culinary delights that paired well, top-notch ingredients, made with love and care. The gin cocktails in particular are delicious creations, developed with creativity and a complexity, but not over the top. In LA, these are $30 cocktails... it felt like I was getting top shelf foodie cocktails at half the price. At the moment, I can't remember our servers name regrettably, but she made thoughtful recommendations, was kind and had great energy, a lovely experience really. Recommend++

This was our first time at The Gin Room and we had a really great experience! We arrived around 8:30PM and we were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and attentive. The low lighting with the wall of gin made for a romantic drink spot. The music was incredible too, all of my top choices of indie and alternative music. We didn't have any of the food on the menu but the options looks diverse. For drinks, if you like mojitos you should have the Summer Garden G&T (not pictured). The Mediterranean Night is great for fruity and sour tastes. Would definitely recommend for a romantic evening or date night!

Finally made it to the Gin Room, and after our first visit we will most definitely be rushing back! The space is absolutely beautiful. The bar, and all the bottles quite a spectacular sight. As it's name would imply, most definitely the go to spot for gin inspired cocktails. Everything we had was absolutely delicious! The "gosh darn Leonard, that's tasty" and the "grass is greener" were both fantastic. The "Apple a day" however, for me stole the show. The staff is all absolutely fantastic here as well. Everyone was so very inviting, and friendly which made the experience that much better. We can't wait to get back here back for food!

I feel so grateful I was able to attend the 2023 GinWorld Gin festival this year. The interior of the venue is positively gorgeous and Natasha is such a doll! She literally stood outside the door to greet each and every single of her guests! The gin was amazing! It was my first time tasting gin and it was an amazing experience!

We really wanted to enjoy our time here. But their service, website and policies need to be updated for better customer service. We, 3 of us came here on a friday night around 8pm. This place is very small, couple of tables at the bar area. That is it. Dining area is slightly bigger. We didn't know we needed reservation for the bar part. So they put us in dining room area. It took less than 5 minutes which was good. The Greeter was nice. After we got our table, our server either hated her job or us. It is not our problem though. She needs to be nice to everyone, we were just there, trying to support this local business. She had that negative attitude, we didn't enjoy how she treated us. We didn't do anything but just trying to place an order. We waited so long to order some food after having overpriced gins with lots of ice cubes in. (Basically, paid $13 for ice cubes) Our server was standing in the corner, not checking on us every once in a while which she supposed to do. We had to wave many times to grab her attention. It is a busy night, she needs to be alerted. Instead, someone at a bigger table looked at her and she didn't miss that. It was really frustrating to watch all her acts. We were about to order dinner but didn't enjoy our time here and their service was so slow because of our waitress, so, just ordered their Charcuterie Board, as a snack. Nothing special, was just ok. *IMPORTANT*:: We wanted to order Gin Flights. Our waitress said we need to make a reservation for that, so they can call the "special bartender" to prepare the Gin Flights. *IMPORTANT*:: When you call this place, you can't make a reservation. Only way is using their poorly designed website. If the party is more than 5 people, need to pay $10 deposit per each person. And not sure how, but let them know you want Gin Flights, so you make sure that special bartender will be there and you will get Gin Flights.

came here on a sunday night for a drink w my bff and it was fairly busy! the chairs and decor make the place look pretty classy and i got the feeling they're working to decorate more. we just got a couple drinks and the arancini i got the american revolution and it is exactly what i want from a gin cocktail and the waitress added a lil flair with a blowtorch and spray bottle mezcal which was fun my friend got the mediterranean night and said it reminded her more of a sangria but was good. the arancini was good but pretty bland without the sauce in our humble opinions this was def a more pricey spot for a drink date but will be back to try all their options!

As a gin drink lover, so glad that I finally made it to the Gin Room. Smaller space inside than expected but had a nice feel to it. The chairs were very comfortable to sit in but were little bulky for the space and a little unwieldy to get in and out of.Extensive gin cocktail list! I had The Grumpy Pilot and Summer Garden G&T. Both were tasty but the Grumpy Pilot was definitely the fave of the night amongst me and my companions. We shared some small plates, the bruschetta, Salve Caesar, the cheese plate, and tiramisu for dessert. I would definitely order all the small plates again but would probably skip the tiramisu. Our server checked back often and the hostess noticed that the sunlight hit an uncomfortable angle and lowered the shade without me even asking which was really nice because I probably wouldn't have thought to ask. Would definitely go back.

So many kinds of Gin that I've never heard of. The patio looks adorable. I love that they also have a nice wine list and the sparking rosè was delicious. My friend got a salad and an app and she mentioned it being delicious, several times during our visit. This would be a cute place for a first date!! It has a very romantic vibe. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly and on top of things.

The Gin Room at Salve, located on Grand Ave in Tower Grove South, is a must for anyone that enjoys gin-based cocktails. They also offer non-gin options and have a food menu (Salve restaurant). The indoor dining area offers a twist on prohibition art and decor. However, the patio area is the actual show stopper and is a large-sized patio with plenty of outdoor seating, which can be hard to find in the St. Louis metro area. If you are looking for a drink special, you can opt to sit at a table in Aperol Alley, which is located on the sidewalk outside of the entrance. Aperol Alley offers $5 Aperol spritzes any time of the day, any day of the week. Don't let the price fool you; the quality of this Aperol spritz is still as high as the full-priced cocktails.

I'm new to gin and the choices can be overwhelming! Well rest assured any drink you choose will be amazing at the Gin Room. Service was amazing and Kendall was very helpful. The happy hour food was great too. The bar area is on the small side and can easily get crowded so minus 1 star for that.

What a great place to have your event at. We had a wedding rehearsal cocktail event and everything was just perfect. They were ready for us and excited to have us there. Always a cocktail in everyone's hand. The food was amazing, hot and continously refreshed. The room was big enough for us to spread out but still cozy, and the chairs were comfortable. Thank you Natasha!!!

I am 5 stars because the cocktails, food and most of the service was outstanding. We had just returned from a trip to Ireland where we enjoyed many gins and loved the way they serve each gin with its own garnishes and tonics on the side. The Gin Rooms gin menu is amazing! So we had to go there. Maddie was lovely, took good care of us and was knowledgeable about the cocktails and gin. We each had a cocktail and then a G&T--all delicious. After our cocktail we ordered arancini to share with our G&Ts and entrees. The food was delicious BUT the entrees came before we had finished our arancini and before I got my G&T. The kitchen was just way too speedy for a place that wants you to enjoy their gins. I mention this in the hope to be helpful. We loved the place and will be back.

Stopped by last night for dinner and to explore the gin selection. Server let us know that they were short staffed and thanked us in advance for our patience. Not an issue, everyone seems to be having trouble keeping enough staff right now. Food was very good, but the service was not great. We ordered an appetizer (feta/walnut spread) and had to grab silverware off of another table because the server forgot to bring any. Had to ask a couple of times about getting a refill on water. We're never asked by our server if we wanted anything other than that to drink. We got dessert (try the Persian ice cream!) we paid the bill and went and sat at the bar to get a gin flight. And the energy and service there was like a different place all together. They were talkative, attentive and actually seemed like they wanted to be there. We had 3 different people talk to us about the 5 different gins that we tried, taught us about the process of distilling it and more. A 100% different experience than the dining staff. A cute place for date night, but best for appetizers and drinks at the bar.

Stop by for a pre dinner drink. Will need proof of vaccination card to enter. Seems as though only one guy works the bar service. Not sure if he was new but it took him a while to acknowledge me and the couple that came afterwards. Didn't try any food, but I'll be back.

Do not go to their 90s themed brunch. the menu is basically chicken nuggets, pizza rolls, and potato skins... y'all could of had actual food rather than me spending $30+ the reservation $5 fee on trash... 1 good thing. the waitress was good.

It's all about expectations with The Gin Room. Considering the previous establishment at this location, I expected great tasting food with good portion sizes at an appropriate price. Instead we were left with minimal portion sizes even with the menu choices made for sharing ("For the Table") and the prices were exuberant for what we received. The taste was a hit or miss depending on the dish. The roasted chicken had tender meat but lacking flavors whereas the autumn squash had excellent taste and presentation. On the other hand the Summer Garden G&T was an excellent drink and I would consider this establishment for its excellent variety of drinks. But if you're looking for food, I would be more wary

First-timer here and visited on a whim! I came alone and was greeted by the hostess, who was pleasant, upfront, and charming. Learned later, she was the actual owner and one of the very few females to be highly renowned and respected in the gin business. Awesome!!! Since I arrived on a whim, I did not experience the whole gin experience they put on for show, so check their schedules or call ahead. My bartender did the best he could to serve me up the most unique and popular gins. He was super informative and very welcoming. I even sat next to some amiable strangers that I would say became good acquaintances on may out. Amazing vibes, food, and drinks. You must visit!

We made reservations ahead of time & received a prompt response that they looked forward to us dining at the gin room. I thought that was very thoughtful. When we arrived we were seated immediately by the friendly staff. The drink menu is extensive and the concoctions intriguing. We will return and continue to explore the drinks as they were tasty. We shared an app & entree. Although they were not busy, it did take 30 minutes to get our food. We didn't mind, but certainly something to consider if you are on a time limit. Our kebabs were moist and the spices were perfect. They provided some sauces to go with the kebabs and I just loved the variety and flavors. We will certainly be back!

The Gin Room is great for a quick cocktail. Having little experience with gin, I went with a simple cocktail from the happy hour menu. My partner gave one of the House gin and tonics a try. My drink was great (take that with a grain of salt); however, the gin and tonic my partner received was noticeably lacking in the gin department, even with my inexperience. The staff was decent--a bartender was polite, but kind of jumped on us and went on a little spiel without us asking. I also felt a couple others staring us down. It was rather slow at the time, but it made us uncomfortable. I might return to give cocktails another whirl if I'm in the neighborhood during happy hour.

Sat at the bar and proceeded to be ignored once the bartender found out one of the individuals in our party wasn't vaccinated. Apparently it's a requirement to sit at the bar now. This makes perfect sense, since germs only travel horizontally. Will never go back.

Let me start by saying I'm not a big fan of gin. We accidentally wandered into this place while looking to kill some time while in the neighborhood. We never left until the end of the night. Bartenders were awesome and took the time to find out your tastes and make drinks that were perfect for you. Went out of their way to give us some recommendations for places to go eat, drink and see while we were in town. I would hang out here a lot if I lived in St Louis. Great place with great people

I had heard a lot about this place and finally tried it- but honestly I was a little disappointed. Upon seating the bartender was on his phone, and took a second to get to us. We had gotten a cocktail and a "orange blossom lemongrass apricot" with knickerbocker gin and it tasted nothing like it. I tasted only the orange beer he had used- I am familiar with knickerbocker gin and I couldn't even taste a hint of it. The bartender was knowledgeable.. but the drinks were not great. For a casual drink with friends it's not bad- but if you're a fan of different types of gin concoctions, I would not recommend it.

If you are visiting a gin spot you want a vibe that invites you to relax and enjoy every sip. This visit was a quick pop-in for a break from heat and was so happy we ended up here. Bartender was excellent! Welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and viewing her prep the drinks was like watching an artist. For a busy day w festival this spot was like stepping into another world. Calm, cool, fragrant all combined to form the perfect space where a few hours can slip by enjoyably. Will 100% return for food which looked amazing at other tables, and the flight. Allow yourself time to enjoy the variety of gins and explore the menu!

My review is based solely on the Bar area itself and not the food. I came here for a work function as one of our customers is a big Gin lover and wanted to try out the variety of gin available here. We were not disappointed! Not only do they have hundreds of different gins (didn't know there were that many :0) but the bartender there was just as great. He would ask what you normally drink; beer, wine, scotch, whatever you drink he would whip up a gin drink that would taste similar to your regular beverage of choice. If you're looking for a new and somewhat intimate bar experience I can't think of a better place than here.

Alright, I'm hosting a small Yelp happy hour at the Gin Room tonight and I just realized I haven't reviewed it. Shame on me! Let me start off by saying that I love gin and nowhere in STL more or less the midwest does gin as well as The Gin Room. The mastermind behind this fine establishment, Natasha, is a genius. She knows more about gin than anyone. Her staff are all trained and well-versed in everything gin. I brought my fiancè here who is a bit of a gin-novice, and our waitress let her sample a few things and helped her pick out something that was perfect for her. Side note: I recommend trying out their housemade tonic with gin if you're looking for somewhere to start. I, on the other hand, was guided to the perfect sipping gin. Sipping gin? Whaaaaa?! That's right, not all gin tastes like a bad night in college or grandma's drink. It's sophisticated and complex. I act like I'm a know it all, but I'm not. Everything I know about gin I've learned from The Gin Room. Since it's in the same space as Cafe Natasha's, you can pretty much order any food off that menu and drink it in the bar area if you're hungry. Anyways, if you haven't been any day is a good day to educate yourself on gin at The Gin Room.

My husband and I visited St Louis and found this place by happy accident. I loved it. We sat at the bar and Dale took his time to educate us about what they do best- gin cocktails. There is a great selection of specialty gin and I learned so much. It's very cute, and the vibe is great. Our visit here was a highlight of our time in town.

So I came here for a CMYE (thanks aaron! :D) and I really liked it. First of all, it's part of cafe natasha, and isn't labeled with as much large signs as I would've guessed, so just walk into cafe natasha and you'll be good. So how did I like this place? It was FANTASTIC. There wasn't a crowd at the bar so the bartender was friendly and talkative and not super busy. I got to ask him what his favorite gin is. After some careful thought, he poured me a tiny taste. It was really good. Bone dry gin, i think... and it had a neat smokey aftertaste. THEN, i asked if i could get a specific cocktail made with that gin. they obliged. I got a last word and it was fantastic. All in all, I MUST come back here with friends. Probably some form of a girl's night. Next time, though, I'm asking for a last word with Hendrick's.

My mom and I came here after dinner at The King and I last Saturday night. We had dressed up sort of "spooky" but not quite costumed for Halloweekend and wanted to go somewhere out and about and have some drinks, but not end up part of a huge party crowd. I am a gin lover and have been wanting to try this place since before I moved to St. Louis last January, and my only regret about my visit was that I hadn't drank here long ago and kept coming back. When we entered there were a few diners but no one at the bar - apparently there was a huge event in the CWE that night so South Grand was pretty quiet. We were immediately greeted and given (huge, extensive) menus by bartender Dale. After perusing the menu and the huge wall of hundreds of gins behind the bar for a few minutes we had some questions, which Dale was happy to answer. He was knowledgeable and taught us about the gins on the menu without being pedantic, snobby, or condescending (attitudes that are unfortunately the norm in my experiences talking with more knowledgeable craft spirits connoisseurs). We tasted several gins, some to decide what to have in our drinks and some because the bottle looked interesting or the gin was unique and weird. Dale asked about our favorite gins and cocktails and made recommendations from there. I ended up trying a hibiscus G&T with a gin I don't remember (awesome), a Hendricks smash which included some of my favorite cocktail flavors from real ingredients - basil and cucumber (even awesomer), and a Collins made with Uncle Val's peppered gin which I was skeptical of before tasting but I turned out really enamored with it (also awesome). The cocktails, the gins, and the customer service and bartending skills courtesy Dale were all excellent. The drinks weren't cheap but not hideously expensive, and the experience was totally worth the price. I am certain I will be returning regularly.

In addition to the Gin Girl, Natasha Bahrami, and top-notch mixologist Dale Kyd, there's the exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly staff, spellbinding back bar, and warm atmosphere for striking up conversations with patrons. Persian food is a winner, too.

Very friendly bar staff happy to explain the menu and offer suggestions based on your preferences (this was essential for me b/c the menu is huge and slightly overwhelming). Great atmosphere too. I tried the Autumnal which was delicious!

Loved this place. The owners know so much about gin, and I got a flight and learned a ton! Would recommend to anyone.

Wow. What an experience. I attended a Yelp sponsored Gin Workshop at The Gin Room having mentally prepared myself that I would learn some interesting facts, give it a go, but mostly let my husband, the gin fan, enjoy himself and play DD. I certainly didn't expect to enjoy myself as much as I did and even find a gin and a drink or two that I actually enjoyed. Natasha, The Gin Girl herself, was our guide through our gin journey, offering 3 distinctively different gins, and she then showed us how to make a couple classic gin cocktails - an Aviation and a French 75. Though I didn't enjoy all 3 gins, I did find one that agreed with me - the St. George - and I enjoyed both cocktails. I even ordered an Aviation to enjoy after the workshop ended. My husband, eager to try more, enjoyed a gin flight. Natasha did a great job getting to know us (and everyone at her bar) and our tastes, trying to convert me and please my husband with her flight selections. Though I don't know how often I'd order myself a gin drink while out elsewhere, I certainly wouldn't be as opposed as in the past and would gladly come back to The Gin Room for another (my husband is so proud). Natasha's knowledge and enthusiasm for gin and what they do at The Gin Room make it impossible not to be drawn in and get excited as well. It was a joy just to watch her work and interact with everyone at the bar. Bonus that The Gin Room is within Cafe Natasha, because I also got a delicious bowl of Lamb Stew and some falafel that made me dance in my seat. Follow The Gin Room on social media, and you're promised a lot of opportunities to get your learn on during another workshop or distiller night. Highly recommended from a former gin hater.

My wife & I have been there several times now & have also shared it with friends (including some non-gin drinkers). Everyone enjoyed it. I've not yet had the same drink or the same gin twice. We love to sit at the bar & talk to Dale the bartender about the different gins, tonics, garnishments & other cocktail ingredients. Dale is very knowledgeable & fun to talk to. Natasha's Cafe provides food if you want. Food has been great each time. We'll be going again this weekend with some friends from KC.

An amazing find in St. Louis. Dale and Natasha are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about gin. The gin selection is varied and high quality. I will we trying to find an excuse to come back to St. Louis.

Tried them on South Grand Dine Around. The Gin Gimlet was awesome. Would have like to had a food option to try that. Service was prompt and friendly.
