The editorial take
The Over/Under Bar & Grill runs a broad beverage program with a tilt toward local St. Louis beer and a roster of sweet, crowd-pleasing cocktails. Happy hour knocks $2 off pints, wine, and specialty cocktails. The Mango Bourbon Mule and Cucumber Mule show some imagination, while the beer list leans heavily on regional favorites like Civil Life and Urban Chestnut.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Mango Bourbon Mule for a boozy, fruity twist on the classic, or the Cucumber Mule for something lighter. Beer drinkers should grab a Civil Life American Brown Ale or an Urban Chestnut lager to taste local brewing. Non-alcoholic options include Lagunitas IPA NA.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail fans who like sweet, vodka-heavy drinks will find familiar territory. Beer enthusiasts will appreciate the local St. Louis lineup. The happy hour discounts make it a decent stop for groups looking to save a few dollars on drinks.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the prime time to visit, when cocktails, wine, and pints are all $2 off. The venue's dual identity as a bar and grill suggests it suits casual after-work drinks or a relaxed evening out.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Individual prices are not listed, but the $2-off happy hour discount suggests moderate pricing. Expect typical bar-and-grill rates for cocktails, wine, and local craft beer.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beverage program stands out for its emphasis on local St. Louis breweries, including Civil Life, Schlafly, Urban Chestnut, and 4 Hands. The cocktail list also ventures beyond the usual with options like the Caramel Apple Cocktail and Pink Starburst, and the non-alcoholic beer selection is a thoughtful addition.
