Thaxton Speakeasy

We threw an 140-person disco party as the welcome party for our wedding weekend. I started planning this event with Kimberly almost a year before the actual event.. and she was incredible. We rented out the 3 floors , got pizza's & cookies, had incredible staff on all 3 floors.. a dj.. a photographer.. it was simply the best.

Could not recommend Kimberly or her team at the Thaxton enough -- the drinks were delicious, the space was beautiful and everyone was on time! + Kimberly response time is second to none.

Thank you so much

For the last three years, we have chosen this venue for our annual company event, and we consider ourselves fortunate to have found such an ideal setting!! It provides the perfect environment for our annual party, accommodating around 150 guests. The atmosphere is incredibly enjoyable, and we cannot praise Kimberly, our event organizer, enough for her exceptional work. We will be back again next year.

Beautiful hidden gem. Requires password for entry. The host is a peculiar guy who is initially intimidating but then you realize that he is appropriately in character for the place’s vibe and it becomes amusing. Drinks are great, music is on point, and decor is beautiful. Highly recommended.

Wow, a hidden gem in downtown St Louis. A very cool atmosphere. The company I work for hosted an event here and it was awesome. The staff is very friendly and professional. The food tasted very good. The downstairs has a very cool bar and hangout area. This is an awesome event venue. If you are looking for a place to host an event, check this place out.

It's definitely a hidden gem in the heart of St. Louis. Great atmosphere and good drinks. A1 quality service!!!

Hosted a birthday event here and wow was it absolutely perfect!! I’ve been wanting to go here for the longest time and I’m so glad I had my birthday party here. The staff was so easy to work with from the planning stages and throughout the party! The speakeasy bar was phenomenal as were the drinks. My guests had just as good of a time as I did! We can’t wait to go back!

Just wow ! The set up, the atmosphere, the location, the vibes. We loved it here.

The drink menu was exquisite ! If they had snacks and appetizers we definitely would’ve stayed longer (that’s probably why they don’t lol)

I would love to go back.

I am not sure why this would get anything less than a five star rating. Very unique, extremely great atmosphere, great service. I would highly recommend. I was concerned about jeans, but it was fine. Recommend dressing up a little, it adds to the atmosphere, but not required. If your thinking about it, try it.

The Thaxton Speakeasy is a well kept secret of downtown St. Louis. Their cocktails are really well made and their beer selection is pretty good too. The bar staff is always a delight, and they add to the vibe of the whole experience. The Thaxton has a great mix of Art Deco and Art Nuevo décor that helps transport you back to the days of prohibition. Finding the speakeasy is the easy part, but you’ll need to snoop around on their social media to find out how to get the secret password of the week. This place makes for a great date night or a cool place to meet up with friends for a good cocktail.

Stumbled across this well-appointed, hidden spot just before New Year's weekend and went a couple of times. Beautiful details convey the period well. Have your password ready and banter a little with the doorman. Once seated, walk up to the bar to order. First cocktail was obviously for the crowds, but talk to the clever and accommodating staff: they'll make you something more interesting. Don't like cocktails (...I mean, why?) - they even have Montucky!

Such a cool place. The speakeasy is located in the basement and is open Thursday - Saturday. At first we were disappointed thinking that since we were in St Louis for just a short amount of time we wouldn't get to check this place out, but the owner caught us outside looking and invited us in for a tour. Then explained to us that they were offering a happy hour 4:30-7:30 that is located upstairs with a limited bar instead of downstairs. It was still really cool! We got an Old Fashioned. The bar tender was friendly and knowledgeable & made a great drink! Come here if you like real classic cocktails made with fresh ingredients.

Very fun and great mood and atmosphere. Drinks were unique and the matcha Manhattan was fantastic.

For me one word to describe this place and that’s immaculate! 🔥… the owner and the workers were all awesome and showed me nothing but love the moment I step foot in. Hands down my favorite thing about this place is the ambience of it, I walked in and felt like I was in a John Wick movie or a 1930 New York old mobsters lounge. This joint is what St.louis about , St. Louisans we have our own culture and this joint breaths it, dope spot 💯💯🔥🔥 🎯 🎯10/10

Loved the vibe! The cocktails were above the average bar cocktail!

Amazing place! Went for a wedding, staff was fantastic and friendly, food was great. If you're a fan of this art style you'll love it here.

It's a tad difficult to find. It's a tad difficult to get in. Make sure to check their instagram for the password. Very cool, though. Great cocktails, cool ambiance, and our waitress was fantastic as well. Will return.

Living up to its name speakeasy is remanent of a time gone by. The name comes from the prohibition era referring to a underground illegal bar. Entry is obtained by ringing a door bell in a alley way and seems almost sinister yet exciting. With its Art Deco styling and intimate seating it takes you to a time when class mattered. They keep entry to a minimum and with seating being 4-6 feet apart it allows for a very intimate setting. There is a reason it’s on the top 10 list. (Don’t forget to obtain the password before you visit!)

Very cool place, drinks were good. Only wish the music was different vibe. Will visit again!

I'm completely in LOVE with this place! As a seasoned bartender, to feel what it's like to go back in time during the prohibition era at the ONLY speakeasy in STL is an experience of a lifetime. The classic artisnal cocktail list was immaculately designed by one with a very well defined palate with balance and complexity. Staff was pleasant and wonderful as well as entertaining. This is the perfect spot to host a wedding reception or social event. I will definitely become a regular at this timeless treasure of a bar.

Love the atmosphere, friendly people who work here and the MUSIC!! Disco ball, super clean, just a blast in general!!! 4 floors of incredible art and all sorts of neat things!!!
