"My visit to Juniper was an absolute delight, particularly during their happy hour. The ambiance of the place set the perfect tone for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. What truly stood out was their happy hour menu, which offered a variety of choices catering to different tastes. The food was a highlight. The fries were cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, seasoned just right to enhance their natural flavor. They were a hit at our table, disappearing almost as soon as they arrived. The hummus and bread were another standout. The hummus was creamy and flavorful, striking a perfect balance of garlic and lemon. It paired wonderfully with the fresh, warm bread that was served alongside. This combination was not only delicious but also felt like a healthier option compared to typical bar snacks."

"Finally got to try Juniper and it was worth the wait! Whimsical decor, creative cocktails and a small but diverse menu vegetarian, vegan as well as meaty options. Friendly staff. As a busy real estate agent, I love recommending local establishments in Forest Park, in my neighborhood."

"I will never be able to put into words what this place means, embodies, expresses, etc etc. To know that this place is partly owned by a truly amazing person I use to work with is only icing on the cake. They have made an accepting and inclusive spot that not only exudes passion and love but also talent, devotion and character. It is a unique place standing out amongst its own and the chef has every reason to walk proud and boast. I abhore crab cakes. I would fight tooth and nail for theirs. I would do the same for the ginger chicken skewers. Further more, Ginger, Kat, Whitney, Zoey make up the best bar staff and people I've ever had the pleasure of being served by. They are beyond talented but even more so beyond amazing. I would go to the ends for this bar and it's people. They deserve your love."

"Juniper has been on my list of cocktail bars to visit for a while. The decor is so "instagramable" for starters! Finally got to visit and it didn't disappoint. We had a bit of a wait. We didn't see an option for reservations, but they moved pretty quickly. The good part about waiting is that you are in the beautiful Forest Park area, so you can take a walk while you wait for your table. The presentation of the food was great, the food tasted as good as it looked, and really, blueberry crème brûlée!! It's definitely worth the hype. You also never know who you will see there. Always a reunion and very kind staff."
