The food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. The grits in the shrimp and grits were smooth and creamy. And the crab cake sliders were crispy. The beer the server recommended was on point too. I highly recommend and will be back.

We had such a great experience at Square One Brewery! The food was excellent. I had the grilled salmon, which was cooked perfectly, and my husband enjoyed the pot roast sandwich, which was hearty and full of flavor. One of my favorite things about the visit was their patio. It’s spacious, comfortable, and best of all, dog-friendly. A huge plus for us since we had Poe and Molly in tow. It made for such a relaxed and enjoyable dinner.

Nice relaxing place. The food is always delicious and the service is always top notch. We brought home one of their specialty.Beers this time to add to our wisconsin beer cheese soup, as I think it will be a perfect blend. We got there around 2:30 PM. There was no wait in line.The food came quickly. Everything hot and served as ordered. The home made chips were delicious. This is a great place to visit and children are welcome. Parking is along the street and free.

Located in historic Lafayette Square,this is a classic "Old School" bar serving delicious drinks and meals with both indoor and outdoor seating. They are listed as both a brewery and distillery but we only tried their spirits. They make their own whiskeys, gins,vodkas ,run and agave. We decided to try to a flight...Urban bourbon,blueberry bourbon, strawberry basil gin and Vermont night liquor. The bourbons were very light and easy drinking. I did not taste much blueberry. My wife loved the strawberry basil infused gin. The Vermont Night liqueur was my least favorite. Whiskey infused with citrus zest,winter spices and vanilla sweetened with maple syrup. Way too many flavors plus the spices took over . It was a shame we had just eaten as their food menu looked amazing. I would like to try their beers if I'm ever in the area again. If you love historic buildings as this place was built in 1883 and love crafted beers and spirits,this is definitely a place worth visiting.

Tasty snacks! Try the beer cheese soup. They have a great beer flight option, if you're not sure what to get - and they make some good craft cocktails as well. Sunday evenings are chill if you just need a place to hang at the bar. The bartender was super cool. Whitney, I think. Totally awesome - made some great suggestions and conversational, which are sometimes a lost art in service these days.

My Scottched egg was a bit over cooked but besides that everything about it was amazing. The sauce that comes with the cod basket is also great. Definitely a good spot to eat no matter what you get.

I really like this place. It has a neighborhood pub sort of vibe, and is located in a gentrified part of town. Great beer selection, especially for Fall, and the food was excellent. I especially like breweries who are also distilleries, and while I was disappointed in their bourbon their single malt is pretty damn good.

Square One is our go-to place for great beer and stellar wings. The atmosphere is fun and laid back and the service always friendly. Today was a Square One day with our usual, and we purchased their whiskey for gifts.

Probably my favorite place I went in St Louis. Mainly for the bartender. One of the most friendly and helpful people I've ever met, I wish I would've written his name down. As far as the drinks, I like the cocktails here much better than the beers. Cocktails are pretty fresh and innovative, but the beers are all pretty standard. None are "bad" but none are really "excellent" either.

We were staying in the Lafayette Square section of St. Louis over the summer and decided to try Square One since we could walk there. It was early so there weren't many people in the dining room. There was a front bar that had quite a few people. I liked that the building is historic. It made for a nice vibe. Service was on point, we didn't have to wait long for our drinks then food to come out. I had a lovely stout, which i thoroughly enjoyed. The star of the meal for me was the steak and frites. The steak was huge and cooked perfectly! It was juicy and topped with melted garlic butter. Delectable! I ate every last bite. My husband got the burger and he really enjoyed it. If I lived nearby I'd definitely be a regular!

Square One is such a great spot. The interior has that warm, classic pub feel, and there's a great outdoor patio. I came with a few coworkers for happy hour and we all loved the atmosphere. Their beer selection is excellent and they also distill their own spirits. I didn't order food this time, but everything I saw looked really good. Definitely a good stop if you're in the neighborhood!

Would highly recommend, nice options for groups who have different drink preferences, they have a lot of non beer options! Food is really good as well, portions are pretty large so the price is very fair. Service has always been great and fast!

Popped into this spot after an event down the street. It was mid evening and we sat on the covered patio. It was a bit chilly out so this was a great way to get the best of both worlds. The restaurant filled up quick but the service didn't show it! Our server was attentive and patient with all of the commotion. I ordered an aperol spritz (I know I know I was at a brewery). It was fine but I think I'll stick with beer next time I'm at a brewery! :) I ordered "girl dinner" as they're calling it these days, a ceaser salad and an order of pub pretzels. Both of these were good! I love soft pub pretzels so this hit the spot, they were served with cheese and mustard. Looking forward to going back for sunny, warm patio time!

We came for cocktails and it was pretty empty, at least the bar area. They had a variety of liquor from cocktails to craft beers. The pricing for cocktails were great, about $10 for one. This is a score for us as we're used to California pricing of about $15-$20 for a cocktail. We got 2 cocktails. I got the strawberry fields and my friend got the Miss Peaches. Both were refreshing and not too sweet. Good place to stop by for some drinks before heading to dinner.

Just went here on a spur of the moment after an event! Ended up running into the ladies that invited me to their trivia table! We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and food. They had the French dip sandwiches and sides. They really enjoyed those!! While I tried the tarragon chicken salad. I really enjoyed the salad. It comes with toasted points - so good! It does contain almonds, but they seemed so crushed that I couldn't tell.( originally requested them off) the bar tender, Bryan did explain it was mane with the dressing. We all really enjoyed the bar! They have more seating in the back and what seemed like in indoor courtyard. Love the inside architecture and feel. I'd definitely would come back again!! Glad we came here on a whim!

I enjoyed this place. It was so calming and relaxing when I walked in. I enjoyed seeing locally owned and operated businesses. The French dip and fries were so delicious! I got the sweet & spicy drink, which I loved the packed punch of their jalapeño infused vodka. I felt the drink was missing something, it was still good. My friend had the jalapeño grits with her French dip, we were excited to try them, sadly they were missing something, as they were lacking a seasoning with minimal jalapeños. The bartender was very kind, helpful, very knowledgeable, and attentive. I enjoyed the music and atmosphere though it was a busy night the bar area was quiet.

Square One Brewery & Distillery is the kind of place where you come for the beer, stay for the food, and end up contemplating buying a barrel-aged whiskey you absolutely don't need but suddenly deeply deserve. The menu is full of elevated pub favorites--like if your comfort food got a promotion and started wearing business casual. The beers? Solid across the board. The cocktails? Dangerously good. You will definitely leave here feeling like you made at least one excellent life choice. The vibe is relaxed but lively, and the staff somehow manage to keep things moving without making you feel rushed--even when you're still debating whether to get dessert like it's a Senate vote. Bonus points for being a proud supporter of the Lafayette Square Park Concert Series. Nothing pairs better with local music and folding chairs than knowing your post-concert burger was made possible by local beer-fueled generosity. Thank you, Square One, for keeping the tunes flowing and the neighborhood glowing.

Love Square One! More than a brewery or distillery with a tap/tasting room, it's a full restaurant with a well-rounded menu. First off, they take reservations, so if you're going at a peak time get yourself on the list! Getting to Square One is easy by car. If street parking isn't readily available, head to the free lot across--wait for it--Park Avenue. They have bar seating (no reservations), several indoor rooms, and a lovely patio with plants and water features (not just tables on a parking lot or the sidewalk.) The indoor temp is always comfortable. I've been to Square One for brunch and for dinner and have always been happy with the food. For my last visit I had crabcake sliders (excellent!) and chose cheesy jalapeño grits for my side (rather dull; they didn't taste strongly of corn and had zero hot pepper kick--the only thing I've had here that's not 110%.) Salads have very generous piles of toppings, and the smash burger's great too. Finally, the drinks are fab! Square One makes a lot of good beers and spirits--and those are featured on the cocktail menu as well. You can't go wrong with anything featuring the JJ Neukomm Whiskey, agave, or gin. Cheers!

A great way to start the New Year is with the Square One brunch. Reservations are recommended. We got there right at the time of our reservation and they led us straight to it table. Sadly the patio was unavailable, but if you come in warmer weather, I highly recommend sitting outside. They had some special food and drinks for the holiday while also offering their regular brunch menu. Two of us ordered a special and the other two ordered from the regular menu. The food came out remarkably fast and was piping hot. I love their whiskey and occasionally drink their beer. This is one of my favorite places for dinner.

Went here on 7/1/25 for dinner. (They are near a huge park, so you could go before or after). Decent size restaurant. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Looks like they had light to dark beers on tap. They only fill Growlers. I tried the Hefeweizen and it was probably the best beer I had in my entire trip of St Louis. Food was really tasty. Had the Rueben and buffalo chicken tacos (which were the special for the night). Cheers!

Ate here with a group, and I had a great first experience! SO many options to choose from on both their food and drink menu. I had a glass of moscato to drink. I had also been craving a caesar salad, and this one definitely hit the spot! I was very pleased with the portion size. I placed a to-go order from my table to take some food home to my partner, and it was ready to go at the perfect time. The Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich was delicious, and the fries were just as tasty. Our server was kind, quick, and attentive. It was a bit loud inside, but there were lots of people throughout the restaurant and the noise was nothing unbearable. I can't wait to visit again this summer to check out their awesome patio! I walked past it when I was leaving on my way out, and it definitely looks like the place to be when the weather is warm.

My first time at Square One Brewery in Lafayette Square was a nice experience. It's a cute little bar and grill with a nice outdoor patio. I had their housemade black bean burger topped with sautéed onions and mushrooms--it was very good. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food and drinks, and it ended up being the perfect way to hang out and catch up on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Service was ok. We had a party of 8 so I get that it probably isnt going to be best service ever. Waitress was slow to come back after drink order. Person in party got an appetizer& that came out & was gone before waitress came back for orders. I ordered the black n tan nachos. No thanks. Minimum sour cream & fresh jalapeños (like 3). It wasnt awful but it wasnt good. Kept waiting for waitress to come back to ask for more sour cream & jalapenos but that never happened. Just meh.

What a cute space! The outdoor area is really cool with the fountain. I took my daughter to Square One for brunch on Sunday. I had made reservations to ensure we got a table. It wasn't too busy when we arrived at 11:45 but boy, did it fill up quickly. I ordered a spicy Bloody Mary and it was a Bloody Mary; can't say there was anything special about it. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Delicious!! Okay, I've never had Eggs Benedict before so I have nothing to compare it to but it set the bar as my first experience. My oldest daughter ordered the Chicken and Waffles and raved about how good the chicken was. My youngest daughter ordered the Biscuits & Gravy. She had two bites and said she should have gone with the Belgian Waffle. I tasted it and if you're expecting a traditional B&G, this is not it. The biscuits look homemade and are very dense and dry and the gravy was meh. Service was really good and food and drinks came out pretty quick. I will come back and try some of the other brunch menu items or regular menu items.

Here in St Louis with my son, and we decided to have supper at Square One. I've been to this restaurant before several times in the past, but it's always a good experience. The restaurant is decorated in typical brewery style, which they've done well. All the staff were friendly, especially our server, Laine S., who was very friendly, prompt and attentive. Square One has an excellent selection of beer, from lagers, ales and ipas, etc. I had the Single Malt Scotch Ale, which was smooth and flavorful, and a new Australian style ipa called Mah...something, which was awesome and not too fruity, even though it lists a lot of fruit. In addition to beer, they offer an excellent selection of distilled liquors. One in particular in their JJ Neukomm Single Malt Whiskey. This is a bourbon that is exceptionally smooth and flavorful, better than most high end bourbons. I actually purchased a bottle, which costs $45. For my entree, I had the Fish and Chips. You get a large portion of fried cod with hand cut fries with a remoulade sauce. I try Fish and Chips in all breweries, and these were spot on. Square One is highly recommended, as usual.

I'm a regular and eat here a few times a week. Tonight there was an appetizer special of spicy curry chicken wings. They were excellent. The chef does an outstanding job keeping the menu fresh with daily lunch and dinner specials. Tonight she outdid herself with those wings!!

Square One is definitely my favorite restaurant in Lafayette square. I had the Caprese Grilled Cheese and Green Beans. It was delicious. My boyfriend loves the Shrimp and Grits. They're his favorite Shrimp and Grits. I highly recommend Square One! Can't wait to return to sit on the patio!

Visited on a busy Sunday (Parlor Tour in Layafette Square) with group of 4. We did not have a reservation and were prepared to wait. We all got a seat at the bar after just a few minutes, the bartender was quick to serve and offer drink recommendations. We waited long enough to have 2 drinks each but the ambiance was very inviting and warm. We got a table and scanned the menu, which offered a little bit of everything for everyone. There was a good amount of time to chat before arrived, understanding it was a very busy day we were fine with it. Food was great and portions were generous! I'll be back and will definitely make a reservation.

I liked how the outside of this building looked so I decided to give it try, I'm glad I did , it was actually a brunch going on . I ordered chicken and waffles and a Jack Frost cocktail. So good. Chicken was seasoned well and waffles were fluffy and delightful. Cocktail was pretty and strong . My definition of a well thought out drink :) Prices are reasonable! Upon walking in , it appears small and bar like, but as you walk through it's plenty of space and ample seating. Pretty decorative conversation pieces throughout the building. Staff was very friendly, speedy service and waitress was available throughout seating. FYI if you check in you will automatically get a free sticker:) I will definitely come back if I'm in the area.

Love the outdoor patio at Square One Brewery. Each visit, Jeff and I split the Scotch Egg to start. Jeff had a build your own Burger with Bacon, Egg and Grilled Onion. He goes for a gluten free bun so glad they have that option here. Today, I enjoyed a Ruben Sandwich with a side salad. Delicious and perfectly prepared. Such a large sandwich that I will have another meal with the 2nd half. Service was great! Our server brought Coop a bowl of water right away which was super thoughtful.

We stopped by Square One Brewery at Lafayette Square and tried a few dishes. We ordered the Reuben with fries, the pan-seared salmon with lime and parsley butter (served with garlic-herb mashed potatoes and veggies), and the shrimp and grits, which had shrimp, andouille sausage, and a Cajun cream sauce. The grits had a nice creamy texture with a bit of spice from the jalapeño cheddar. It's a nice spot to grab a beer and a bite with friends while enjoying good music, but overall, nothing particularly stood out. A solid choice if you're in the area!

My family and I are on vacation and met up with other family for a chance to catch up and have a nice meal. Square One Brewery & Distillery hit the spot. The restaurant, although not full on a Monday evening, was loud making it a bit difficult to understand any conversation. The architecture inside a working brew house with high ceilings and even though I saw noise dampening panels really didn't do much to help abate the noise level. There really were only two other larger parties nearby and not even next to us so I can imagine what it's like when full on a Friday or weekend. We were seated right away. I had a drink called a chuckleberry which is berry vodka, orange liquor, lemon, and Prosecco. Unfortunately for me, the mix either was off or just not good. More like a suckleberry for me. Wife's vodka cranberry was good but when she ordered a second one the waiter brought the wrong drink which then had to be returned. Our friend's beers were good. I had to try a scotch egg which here is a hard boiled egg wrapped with house made bratwurst and deep fried served with mustard. This was quite tasty. For a main, I had the fried chicken sandwich which had hot honey sriracha drizzle and pepper Jack cheese. Nicely fried on a humongous roll. I chose a side of house made potato chips which were crunchy and not overly greasy. Wife had fish and chips. The big piece of fish also was well prepared and homemade fries were done so that all of us stole some to her dismay. Of all the plates, hers was not served with all the others so the policy of the restaurant is that she got hers at half price or she could have a free dessert. She chose the half price option. My kids both had pot roast - one as a platter and one as a sandwich. Both enjoyed their meals. Service was mostly attentive if not scattered but friendly. $125 including tip for three drinks, one appetizer, and four mains.

Soooo....i chose 4 stars as an average of several factors. Drinks- 5 stars. Always have been terrific and this has stayed consistent. Great list of cocktails, beer is always fantastic, as well. Atmosphere- 5 stars. The patio is still my favorite. Sometimes it's hard to get a spot on the patio on a nice day, FYI. If you can't sit outside, the inside atmosphere is not disappointing. The bar is a fun area, the bigger dining area in the back is more dimly lit and has a dinner vibe. Don't forget to go look through the window in the floor to the brewing facilities below. Staff- 4.5 stars. 99% are terrific and a few have been here as long as we've been coming here on the regular (~13 years). Kevin is definitely our favorite. Service time- 5 stars. Food- 3 stars. This has really gone downhill after Covid, sadly. The nachos, which used to be the bar by which we judged all nachos are easily surpassed by lesser establishments. They're a goopy mess, sloppily thrown together. The once hand cut chips, which were outstanding, have now been replaced with Sysco food service frozen potato chips thrown in the deep fryer for too long (see pic). The food can really be hit or miss here. I will say the beer cheese soup and chicken sandwich are yummo. TL; dr version: definitely come here if you're looking for outstanding drinks and atmosphere. The food quality can be hit or miss, though.

This was my first time visiting Square One. I met up with some friends there recently. All of the drinks were so good, the absinthe was quite an experience - recommend trying it! Food arrived quickly for the most part. We were missing a part of our order. It arrived quickly after letting our server know and we were not charged for it. The chicken tenders were tasty. Appetizers are small portion sizes so would recommend them as starters but not in place of a meal. Fries were perfectly crispy but could use some seasoning or salt.

Very busy at lunch and because of the rain the patio was not available. Ended up sitting at the bar with our party of four. Got the brat and beef burger combination smash burger and was so hungry forgot to get a pic. Very delicious but the patties were not very "smashed" so a bit of a challenge to eat due to its thickness. Still good food and atmosphere!

Took some out of town friends for brunch in Lafayette Square. This was the only place in The Square where we could walk in and not have to wait 45-50 minutes for a brunch table. We were glad we settled here. My partner and I ordered the Southern Breakfast and the Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict respectively. Our friends ordered the Omelette and the Irish Breakfast plate. All four dishes were well liked. The plating was especially impressive and none of us felt like they skimped on the serving sizes. The omelette had a LOT of cheese. I would not necessarily order it after seeing its contents, but our friend was able to scrape off the excess cheese and enjoy the rest of the dish. Our friends are preparing for a trip to Ireland and said they were looking forward to breakfasts abroad if the Irish Breakfast was an indication of the quality of Irish food. As a big fan of crab, I was excited for my dish. While I wish the crab cakes were not deep fried (I am used to a pan fry), they still tasted delicious. As is typical for Square One, the service was good and the atmosphere was inviting. Always love seeing dogs on the patio!

I've been to Square One a few times now and will continue to come back for their yummy beer and food. It is a casual restaurant with pretty quick service. My favorite beer to get on the menu has been their maple stout and my go to food orders are their southwest salad and fish and chips. I have also had their brunch a few times and it has never disappointed me! For seating, they have indoor seating as well as an outdoor patio. I got to sit on their outdoor patio today which was nice! It's super peaceful and also pretty! I ordered their southwest salad today and also got their going green gin cocktail. The salad was yummy as usual but the cocktail was a little sweet for my liking. For parking I have never had any issues - there is a small parking lot across the street as well as street parking.

One of our favorite places to which we go at least once a month if not more frequently‼ This local eatery/brewery is a comfort go-to. We always get the buffalo cauliflower, honey Sriracha (they're not actually spicy ), and goat cheese spinach artichoke dip. The flavors should be illegal that's how good they are. I did give this spot 4 stars only for the fact that their food can be a bit inconsistent meaning we have tried some of their other dishes, but they did not hold up to the same standard. I do not recommend the nachos or the roast beef sandwich The service, however, is exceptional. They are prompt and the food comes out hot and steamy. The Lafayette square standard is not negated here, they too have a beautiful patio with a functional waterfall.

We've been to Square One many times...always enjoyable and they keep getting better. First and foremost the staff is always helpful, courteous and seen always ready to add to your experience. Walk in - get a warm greeting, smiles at the host stand, friendly, helpful servers. Beer list is nice. Plenty of variety for almost any palette. I chose the Park Ave Pale Ale which is one of my favorites. Not too much hop but a little bite that gives it some nice personality. Our table had the veggie drummies (Buffalo style cauliflower), a couple of different salads, crab cake sliders, a Reuben, and the portobello (got rave reviews!). The food is definitely elevated bar food and everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. Stars of our table were the sliders and the portobello. The atmosphere has a very cool vibe, whether sitting inside (our choice this time, sat in the bar) or on the patio. Great job by the team at Square One, we'll for sure be back again.

Great mid-week celebration spot! Square One has a fantastic outdoor space that we were able to enjoy without a reservation or waiting! We started with the goat cheese spinach artichoke dip and the Oh Hawaii beer. My entree of the steak frites perfectly hit the spot. The garlic aioli with the fries was an excellent pairing

We came here for lunch - they were very accommodating for a party of 8. The food came out in a timely manner and was delicious! I added a drizzle of sriracha (they have bottles) to my traditional eggs Benedict and it was fantastic! The poached egg was perfect and the English muffin was delicious. The jalapeño cheese grits were a bit of a let down in my opinion, maybe I should've stuck with the house potatoes! Everyone else's dishes looked delicious as well - the omelettes were large and packed with veggies and meat. The beer-mosa at brunch was a big hit as well!

Was here a few weeks ago for dinner, but obviously had to come back and try brunch. The drink menu is unique, obviously I need to come back and try all of them. I had the cinnamon roll, husband had the biscuits and gravy. Cinnamon roll was meh, but my husbands B&Gs? Holy god. The fluffiness of the biscuit....the homemade gravy....immediately to the top of my list of best B&Gs in STL. Our server was amazing, friendly, fast, and sassy (yes, queen). Their patio as always is calming, water features everywhere. They had their heaters on for this chilly October morning. Absolutely will be back with friends for future Sunday funday's. Thank you for taking such good care of us!

What a pleasant way to end the week. We sat outside with the pup in a charming partially covered patio with a fantastic fountain. Brandy, our waitress couldn't have been more fun and helpful. We got 3 specials, which was brats with onions and peppers which were delicious. One of our party also got the Bacon Brat Smash which was also delicious. We also got their Octoberfests and a Danish beer. Should I add we got a flight of 4 from the distillery which were great. My sister got a Coffee liquor Martini which was fabulous. Ended up leaving with a bottle of the coffee liquor and an orange liquor. All in all, wonderful service, wonderful food and wonderful booze.

I had the crabcakes which were appetizer portions, but for me were perfect. Served hot fresh very flavorful. The dipping sauce was amazing. The service was exceptional. It was a date, so it was nicely spaced out from other guests and I have plenty of space to talk and have conversations without hearing other people or them hearing us.

I enjoyed this cute little brewery. The beers were as diverse as they were interesting and tasty. We loved how nice the bartender was. It was a perfect stop on a hot day. Worth it to go to the end of the strip. I recommend the hatch chili beer don't question me it's just that good!
