The editorial take

UpBar STL pours a wide-ranging cocktail list that leans sweet and tropical—Paradise Punch, UpBar Paloma, Peach Temptation—alongside classics like the Smoked Old Fashioned and Espresso Martini. The wine and beer lists are serviceable but less distinctive. A cashless, ID-required rooftop bar with mocktails and non-alcoholic beer for designated drivers.

What should I order?
Start with the UpBar Paloma ($15), a tequila, St. Germain, and grapefruit soda mix. Paradise Punch ($14) delivers rum and passionfruit. For a classic, the Smoked Old Fashioned or Espresso Martini. Customers praise the mojito—try it with Grand Marnier. If abstaining, the Lemon Drop mocktail ($10) is a refreshing option.
Who will enjoy this place?
Cocktail drinkers who favor fruity, sweet signatures and a casual rooftop setting. Groups may appreciate buckets, pitchers, and flights for sharing. Those seeking a serious spirits list or deep wine program will find limited options.
When should I go?
Evenings on the rooftop for the view and cocktails. The venue is cashless and requires valid ID for alcohol purchase.
What should I expect to spend?
Signature cocktails run $13–$15; classic martini is $12. Lemon Drop mocktail is $10. Riesling is $16. Beer prices are not listed.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
A cocktail and event space with a rooftop view, offering a broad menu of signature drinks with tropical fruit and St. Germain. The drink menu also includes mocktails and non-alcoholic beer, and customers mention buckets, pitchers, and flights. A cashless policy and the reported pricing issue suggest a tech-forward but occasionally glitchy ordering system.

How it sits with the food

The menu includes food, but specifics are not provided. Sweet, fruit-forward cocktails like Peach Temptation would pair with lighter fare, while the Smoked Old Fashioned suits richer dishes. Wine options like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir offer standard pairings.

Inebrious does not score kitchens, food or the restaurant overall. We review the beverage program only.
