Beautiful, historic, and so very gay!

A beautiful, hand-carved wooden bar built during Prohibition is the anchor of this friendly, relaxed neighborhood gay bar. Quirky decor and multi-colored twinkle lights create a funky and unique atmosphere to enjoy a cocktail and great conversation.

      Museum
      You have to go here once if only that. Stay for one drink and take a look around. it is a sight to see for old games and iconic memorabilia on the walls. A small bar with regular customers. Many customers you would have seen earlier at Clementines. Not a twink or make out bar. You can play pool or darts or they have limited bar food. Most everything is fried. Fair priced drinks. Older guys usually, a few straight guys might come in by mistake. Not a looker place. I go if I lose interest in Clementines and I know a couple of people, but mainly to look at the "museum like" scenery.

      Good place
      Visiting STL,I went to the Anheuser-Bush brewery tour. Stopped into Bastille for some food and drinks. Friendly fun group of people. Pulled out my laptop and they even had WiFi. Had a few drinks and burger, fries. Good decent place. I read in a review that there is a new owner; Looks like this place is on the way to being a good nieghborhood hangout.

      Under new owners
      Bob has sold this dusty bar and i have hopes they will strip everything out and do a much needed remodel. The drinks are strong without a dought.

      its a mess inside
      This bar is far from Beautiful, but the bartenders are great and friendly, pour very heavy drinks, and the crowd is mostly friendly., Great location in Soulard
