1860 Saloon, Game Room, & Hardshell Café

Lively bar. Consistently busy. The staff is great. Live music almost daily. Good location within walking distance to a dozen other bars and restaurants in Soulard.

By far the best cajun pasta you'll ever eat! Service is pretty hit and miss.

Picture a dark, not well lit night spot at lunch: add Pammy and the best French dip in Soulard=5*****'s

It was mardi gras..

I went there for music on Mardi gras. Actually on fat tuesday. There was no music until later in the evening. Years ago this is one of the establishments that used to play live music on Fat Tuesday regardless of the day of the week. I did not order food. I did order a drink but it was an apple flavored whiskey made by the company of the whiskey I ordered. It was pretty unpleasant to me. However because it was my birthday the bartender did not charge me for it. But it's a great place to hear music. The stage is in the same place it always has been and it's really cool intimate environment for music

Very nice! Super service, great drinks.

Great bar in Soulard. My favorite. Food is solid. Drinks are drinks, games and a restaurant in the back. But up front is where the magic is. They'll have live bands often. Usually blues bands, brass instruments in a band make the band. They always have great talent playing. Must visit spot in STL/Soulard
