The Req Room Bar and Bistro

"Nice neighborhood bar. Staff are great. Nachos were yummy"

"Food: We went here on a Saturday evening, using the pizza passport. We had hoped to do half meat and half BBQ pork. We were told because of the sauces they couldn't do half and half, but if we were waffling, go with the BBQ. It was great! Better then the chicken BBQ pizza that we had in Memphis that the Food Network had recommended. The menu looked like there were other interesting things to try. Atmosphere: It was karaoke night, so there were people gathering for that. There was no wait staff, so it was necessary to order at the bar. My wife wanted me to go because I knew what I wanted to ask. My first question is what kind of cheese is used. Fortunately it was mozzarella. The flaw in our plan was revealed when the two drinks were set before me. I walk with a limp and half would have splashed out before I got to the table. I told the very pretty young woman next to me that my wife would come to get them and she volunteered to carry them for me. Just listening to the various conversations going on, introvert me would have felt comfortable going up to any of the tablles and joining in. I described it as the St. Louis version of Cheers. If it were a little closer to us, we might go here more regularly. Caveats: This was the third time we tried to eat here. The first was a Sunday at 1:00 pm. Both Google AND the voicemail indicated that they were open at 11 or 12 on Sunday. They do not open until 4 on Sunday. We had arranged to meet my brother-in-law and his wife at 11:30 am on a Thursday and it was not open, When I asked the bartender/owner? what time they opened, he said it depended on when he woke up. Since they are open until 1:00 a.m., it's understandable, but you may want to call ahead if you are planning to go there for lunch."

"Nachos were amazing! Staff was awesome. The atmosphere was very chill and comfy when I came with my family for my birthday. We've also gotten take-out a few times, and we've never been disappointed. The Req Room is helping keep Overland cool."

"Came by this place on a whim a few months ago, and it's quickly become a favorite for my wife and I. Owners and staff are phenomenal people and very easy to talk to, prices are fair, and the atmosphere is great. Have been back many times, and plan to continue to do so. One of the best spots in Overland, in my opinion."

"If you're looking to get a quick bite to eat for lunch this place freaking rocks! Not only will Jose' make your food so fast (and unequivocally delicious) that your head will spin while your mouth waters, but the dog friendly atmosphere says everything you need to know about the proprietors and staff of the establishment, as my pups are always greeted with smiles and a bowl of water. Keep up the good works guys you rock!"
