It's a famous old pub with hardworking & efficient staff. Has a jukebox with a large selection of hit tracks from different genres (from 70s onwards). Has a decent pool table ($3 per game). Wide range of beverages and cocktails. Has a private Lounge upstairs with free pool table. Can be booked for private events. Has an open terrace with sitting (mini beer garden) for smokers. It gets more crowded there at times than the bar. They sell fresh pizzas for snack until 11PM but not regularly. Exford is famous for its month long comedy nights. It has a Bottle Shop that's open till 4AM. A favorite pub for many & decent crowd on most days.

I love this little place in Chinatown, nice wood panelling and some booths. In winter they've got a dark beer on tap that isn't some ridiculous novelty chocolate honeycomb thing that they got a free keg of from a supplier, it's actually something drinkable. On a weekday it's nice and quiet, gets busy of an evening if there's a gig or something on nearby, but the crowd is a good mix and it's a nice atmosphere and have happily sat in there working on my laptop while the place is busy. It's a good pub that reminds me of your average, no frills London local

This place is a dive bar with an old world pub charm. Drinks menu seemed reasonably diverse if you like beer and spirits. The pool table is decent but suffered from cluttered seating. I have lots of sympathy for the staff having to deal with the worst of the clientele - there are only so many broken glasses they should have to clean up in one night! I'd probably go back.

Down to earth bar! If you want to go to a bar with good atmosphere and good people this is the bar. Also bonus is the bottlo attached to it. On the night I decided to sink a few there a free comedy show broke out in the bar area and I was one of the lucky few there to watch some really good comedians l both legendary and new comers. Highly recommend you go if you want to hang out with real people

Stopped here for a quick pint with my family. Ended up ordering some of their pizzas from the bar menu, and were not disappointed. They were delicious. Friendly staff, clean pub, great food, great service and child friendly.

Best pub that STL feels like a pub in the city. Even though it's little less dirty than it used to be the Reno didn't go over the top and still caries the old charm rather well. These guys get a super high rating because they still have a pool table at a time where people are replacing them with tables and chairs. Best time to go is fight night. If youre lucky you might even end up in one.

It's ok Here decent bar staff can be bit hit and miss. Sports on all TV's down stairs can get a bit hectic . Upstairs cool room where often bands or DJs will play a night . TV screens up stairs too. Not as many drinks options upstairs as down stairs. Pool table down stairs.
