Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Westport Social runs a beverage program that covers a lot of ground: seven $13 signature cocktails, a deep spirits list with premium pours, a beer menu loaded with local St. Louis names, and a compact wine list. The cocktails lean creative—banana bread old fashioned, pasilla chile margarita—and the spirits selection is the real draw. Beer drinkers get local craft plus a THC option. Wine is straightforward, by glass or bottle.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Thirst Trap, a vodka-elderflower-pomegranate cocktail that has drawn praise for consistent flavor. For a savory kick, the Scorched Earth margarita layers pasilla chile and amaro. If you're in a brown-spirit mood, the Breadwinner old fashioned reworks banana bread with rye and Averna. On the spirits side, Whistle Pig 10YR and Lagavulin 16 are solid values at $18.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail drinkers who like inventive, flavor-forward drinks will find plenty to explore. Whiskey enthusiasts will appreciate the range from everyday bourbons to single malts and Japanese labels. Beer fans get local St. Louis craft and a variety of styles. The non-alcoholic options, including a mojito mocktail and Bud Zero, make it accessible for designated drivers.
- When should I go?
- A classic bar and gaming lounge, Westport Social suits evenings when you want drinks alongside games. The cocktail menu is available throughout, and the wide spirits list makes it a good stop for a nightcap. Weekends likely bring a livelier crowd, but the bar's setup works for a casual after-work drink as well.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Signature cocktails are a flat $13. Beer runs $6 to $11, and wine by the glass is $9 to $14. Spirits are priced by pour, from $7 up to $75 for premium selections. A round of drinks for two will typically land in the $25 to $40 range, more if you're exploring the top-shelf spirits.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The breadth of the spirits list is the standout—covering whiskey, Scotch, tequila, mezcal, amaro, and more, with rare pours like Don Julio 1942 and Whistle Pig 10YR. The cocktail menu is equally ambitious, with unusual combinations like banana bread old fashioned and a pasilla chile margarita. The beer program adds local St. Louis breweries and a THC-infused option, making it one of the more varied bar programs in the area.

How it sits with the food
While the beverage program is the focus, the food menu suggests pairing opportunities. The savory, spicy Scorched Earth margarita would likely cut through rich bar food like burgers or tacos. The Breadwinner old fashioned, with its banana and rye notes, could stand alongside desserts or a cheese plate. Lighter beers and wines are versatile for snacks.
