"Owner" punched my friend in the face

by gignoux

I had like the Delmar lounge until I went there with a couple of friends. I had an out of state ID which they rejected because it didn't have a hologram. It was an ID that wasn't supposed to have a hologram, I was 25 at the time. After we argued with the owner about his rejection of the ID (2 mins) he claimed to call the cops and told us he could do anything he wanted to us. He then without provocation punched my friend in the face. A cop came and proceeded to handcuff us against the side of the building. We asked the cop what we were being arrested for and the only possible answer was being punched in the face. After 45 minutes of holding us at the side of the lounge the cop let us go because he knew that he had no grounds to arrest or hold us.

I haven't been back in 3.5 years.

• Pros: Good atmosphere
• Cons: Owner punched my friend in the face

Great spot to hit up as the night goes on

by sphinxripht

This place is one of the best in the Loop and st.louis in general. It has a great atmosphere. I was worried at first because i had heard a few reviews say that the service behind the bar was not very good but I found it to be excellent. The staff moved quick and seemed always eager to serve. The highlight of the place for me though was the music. I keep reading that Jazz was played in the early part of the evening which is excellent but in the night, after 11 or so, 2 DJ's spinned until the place closed. They played some great music, not techno but just a great mix, everything from great rock classics to some smooth beats by "A tribe called quest". Overall this is a great place and I look forward to a return.

• Pros: Great crowd, Great bartenders, awesome atmosphere
• Cons: little pricey

$20 meal

by jen_funk

The $20 meal before 6 (or 7...I don't remember) is a great value. You get an entree & your choice of soup or salad and dessert. All four entrees we tried were excellent.
