The bar is the first brick-and-mortar venue from the team behind STL Barkeep, who have operated pop-up craft cocktail bars at events around St. Louis since 2017. The cocktail selection is divided into two categories, classic drinks and seasonal twists on classic cocktails. The classics include The Vandy’s Old-Fashioned, which uses the bar’s single-barrel pick Maker’s Mark, a Margarita, Manhattan, and the South of the Border Negroni, which includes cacao- and coffee-infused tequila. “For the Old-Fashioned, it's like we went through 14 different bitters and landed here,” said beverage director Pat Gioia. “So we put a lot of thought into what we're offering for our classics, to be the epitome of what we think those classics are.” If you don’t drink or are taking a night off, The Vandy offers three non-alcoholic cocktails using Bare Zero Proof spirits, in addition to NA beer from Athletic Brewing and a CBD seltzer.
