Bar Review: Three Sixty St. Louis

This Saturday, some high school girlfriends and I visited Three Sixty St. Louis, the new 360 degree rooftop bar on top of the Hilton Ballpark Hotel (not to be confused with the Hilton Downtown, which is a couple blocks away).  It just opened on July 25th and I've been dying to go.  We had a couple hours to kill between a wedding and a downtown reception, so it was the perfect time to check it out.

 To get to Three Sixty, walk through the main lobby of the hotel and take the elevators up to the 26th floor (I hope you are patient, because on weekend nights it gets crowded and there will be a long and slow line for the elevators!).  Undoubtedly, 360 has the coolest 360 degree view of downtown St. Louis, but what I really enjoyed about 360 was how most of the area is actually indoors, away from all the heat and rain.  And even sitting inside, you still get the 360 view, because the entire thing is glass.  It is nothing like I've ever seen!

360 had a variety of places to sit down.  You could sit at the bars (outdoor bar and indoor bar), you can sit at booths (inside against the glass walls or outside by the big screen TVs), there are lounge areas by the outdoor fire pits, and there are mid height tables with stools scattered throughout the rest of the area.  There is even a private wine area with a two sided glass wall where the wine is on display.

Everything was cool about this place!  Even the bathroom counter tops were bright yellow!!!  Each table had a magnet board with the drink menus pinned up on them.  They had about 6 six specialty cocktails made from homemade infused vodka.  The waitress said they weren't your typical "punchy" drinks, but actually gave you a "punch" of alcohol.... not my thing, so I got wine.  They also had some crazy quirks to a couple of their drinks, like a cucumber cube or a Guinness cube.  We convinced Ryan to try the drink with the Guinness cube, and it was basically like a huge ice cube with Guinness frozen in it.  Kinda reminded me of a Pepsi slushy.  It was pretty gross looking, lol.

We were a little hungry so we decided to get some of the small plates.  Josie Hughes got their garlicky popcorn, which had actually pieces of fresh minced garlic mixed in the popcorn.  Really good, but definitely needed some gum afterwards.  It was a great bar snack if you just wanted to go for drinks.  We also got fish tacos, chicken skewers and lobster rolls.  All were amazing.  Next time I go, I'll definitely try the pizzas.  We sat right by the pizza oven and the pizzas looked really good.

Everything was great, but of course expensive.  Drinks were about $10 each, and the small plates were around $12-15.  But it was totally worth it for the total experience and the view!  I would recommend 360 bar to anyone who likes to try new things and is looking for a fun time.  It would be perfect for a first date, to try to impress someone new, for out of town guests, or for just meeting up with the girlfriends to catch up.  It is also amazing for Cardinals games because it has a direct view into the stadium.  You can sit at the outside bar, watch the game from above, and even listen to it on the outside big screen TVs.  It is the perfect set up!

Overall, a great time!!!  Special Thanks to Josie, Annie, Monica and Ryan for letting me be creepy and take pictures of their food :-)
