Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went to see dueling pianos for the first time. I called ahead to get a table reserved which makes the cover charge double for each person at the table. I get there and there is tons of open tables. They really gouged us on that one. Then our server Brittany was amazing. Such a beautiful soul and person. But then as we are leaving, the door guy Stephen and the other lady Debbie said Thank you for leaving to me and my friends. Not Thank you for coming. Not Thank you for spending money in our establishment, but Thank you for leaving. I found this extremely rude. Yes we were the last ones there because we were talking to another employee but there was no need to be rude. Especially since they closed early to begin with.

We went to this bar specifically to listen to a live band that played 80's music. It was really crowded and wish we'd had a place to sit but we were really impressed with the band and the bar. The bartenders were quick to serve drinks and we really enjoyed ourselves. We would definitely go back in the future when in town.

Whoever was working the door (security) last night managed to make our visit to bottleneck probably the worst out of any bar we've been to in St Louis.

We ended up going to Ameristar as a last minute thing so my wife presented the only ID she had on her (which was the official ID we use in Mexico). They told us they would "go check" since they dont get those often. Comes back very very condescending "this is not an ID babe". My wife explains that is the official used in Mexico, he then starts almost lecturing us saying "this is only for voting not an ID". When my wife again explains it is the official in our country he comes back to say "well we are in the united states". I intervened telling him we are very well aware what the ID is for and we dont need him talking down to us. He starts asking us to leave. If all that wasn't insulting enough he then almost "taunts us" talking to us in spanish after he kicked us out. Of course at that point w were more than angry and told him if he was going to say stuff in Spanish to us to at least say it right. He then acted as if he was threatening us by calling security on us.

I want to make it clear I fully get that if an establishment has certain rules they have to abide by we can understand it. They have a set of valid IDs they can actually accept l, that's fine. Problem here is the whole attitude talking down to us, telling us what the ID is for when we are from there, and then going on to insult and threaten us. I cant speak for the place a we did not even make it in but I hope this is not how you expect your security personnel to treat a first time customer.

No place in the whole of metro stl has treated us this badly. Needless to say w were more than disappointed, we were furious by the time we left.

We have been going to Bottleneck Blues bar for years because of the great bands they have. We are thrilled that they went non smoking as of Jan 1 2018. Angie a great waitress there does a superb job for us and always remembers our drink order. Love bands such as @Dr Zhivegas, @Contagious, @Super Jam, @Queens Blvd that play there.

We went to see That '80's Band. Nice bar/club, with lots of seating, a large dance floor, and great service. Angie was the cocktail server, and was really on top of things on a busy Saturday night. She had a smile on her face the wholw time we were there.

We have seen at least 4 shows here and quickly figured out the "reserved" seating. First off all of the prime floor tables are usually already taken. For the most part they stayed empty for majority of the show.If you absolutely want to see a show that may be sold out there is no advanced sales at the casino you have to pay extra online or be there at 6 p.m.Waitresses come around frequently at first but tends to disappear towards the end of the show. They do allow you to bring food in from casino so getting there early have one person hold your seats and go on a food run. The restrooms are outside of the bar and around the corner which is kind of weird and requires you to go through security to return so plan accordingly.

Caught Trixxie Delight here 5/11/16 fun band! The sound in the bar is good and a big enough dance floor. We however sat at the bar and enjoyed Shawn the bartender. (may have spelled his name wrong.) He is so much fun to watch, give him a few extra $$ and ask him to light something on fire for you!!
