The editorial take
Crafted runs a wide-ranging bar program: seasonal cocktails with summer signatures, a wine list spanning house pours to alcohol-removed bottles, local St. Louis beers, and a dedicated zero-proof menu called 'The Dry Side of Crafted.' Signature espresso and chocolate martinis anchor the cocktail side, while brunch-adjacent drinks like mimosas and Bloody Marys extend the range. The non-alcoholic program is a standout, with zero-proof twists on classics.
- What should I order?
- Start with the seasonal cocktail 'Rum Away With Me' ($14), a tropical pour with pineapple and toasted nuttiness, or 'The Delores' ($13) for smoky campfire notes. For something lighter, the Spritz!?!...PLEASE. ($12) offers tropical bittersweetness. If you're skipping alcohol, the MockGroni delivers a booze-free Negroni with blood orange and housemade N/A vermouth.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail enthusiasts seeking a rotating seasonal menu, wine drinkers wanting alcohol-removed options, and anyone looking for a serious zero-proof program will find Crafted appealing. The brunch-adjacent cocktails and local beer selection also make it a fit for groups with varied tastes.
- When should I go?
- Evenings for the full cocktail menu; brunch hours for mimosas, Bloody Marys, and the Green Chile Michelada. The zero-proof menu and N/A beers make it a good stop any time for designated drivers or non-drinkers.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails range from $6 to $14. House wines are $7 to $13 per glass, bottles $24 to $56. Draft beers run $7 to $8 per pint, craft beers $5 to $7.50. A mimosa pitcher is $30, and a No-mosa pitcher is $20 on Sundays.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The dedicated alcohol-free cocktail menu, 'The Dry Side of Crafted,' with zero-proof twists on classics like the Old Fashioned and Negroni, sets Crafted apart. The MockGroni uses housemade N/A vermouth, and the menu includes a booze-free Paper Plane twist. This is a full-fledged program, not an afterthought.

How it sits with the food
Pair the tropical 'Rum Away With Me' with spicy appetizers; its pineapple and island spices can handle heat. The smoky 'The Delores' would complement grilled meats. For brunch, the Green Chile Michelada pairs with savory egg dishes, while the Sangria suits lighter fare like salads or seafood.
