A very fun 70s themed bar. Their drinks are so good. I enjoyed their whiskey sour, manhattan, and gold rush. It was fun watching them make the drinks. There’s very skilled bartenders in here. I look forward to coming back

This would a great cocktail bar in any city, any where. Joe the bartender was calm, cool and collected. We had a Mezcal Negroni and a few on the menu drinks. Perfect. Crystal clear big cubes and garnishes on point. It’s the little details. The space itself is super cool with a few different seating areas. A fun 70’s vibe and great music. Highly recommended. We didn’t eat so I don’t know about the food.

We hosted an engagement party here for my cousins, and I could not recommend them more. The owner and other employees were so incredibly helpful, kind, accommodating, the whole 9 yards. I will 100% consider them when hosting another event in the future and cannot recommend them more. Thank you guys so much. - Olivia

Came in for a couple of cocktails. Very good hand crafted drinks. Glad we stopped by. Disco inferno and Jackson Five cocktails were excellent. Decor has a music 1970's theme that matches the vibe. I'm looking forward to coming back.

This is a great spot for a delicious and strong cocktail on a night out! There's a lot of seating by the bar and at high tops + booths, even on a Saturday before a show at the Arcada, it wasn't too busy. Our bartender told us about the different drinks available and even offered to make us something off the menu if we were interested. We had 3 drinks on the regular menu and 1 on the fall menu and all were delicious!! 10/10 recommend this place for something different compared to the other bars in STC!

We hosted a party at The Lewis last night and were so impressed by how seamless and easy the entire planning process was. The staff communicated clearly every step of the way, which made everything stress-free. Dominic was our server for the evening, and he was absolutely wonderful—attentive, on top of drinks and water, and he brought such a great personality to the night. He played a big part in making the event run so smoothly. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend hosting your next party here!

The atmosphere is fantastic at this little cocktail bar. Be sure to get there early as it fills up quickly and the space is limited during busy hours. We generally visit here in a group of 2-4 people and stay for up to 2 cocktails before visiting neighboring restauraunts or bars which are super walkable. Service at the Lewis is fantastic as well. I would suggest finding a seat at the bar and accepting recommendations and which drinks to try.

We hosted our engagement party at The Lewis and it was absolutely perfect. From the very beginning, the owner and staff were organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our night special. The space itself is beautiful — warm, modern, and the perfect backdrop for our retro 70’s theme. Everything flowed seamlessly, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy celebrating with our family and friends. We felt so taken care of the entire evening. If you are looking for a venue in St. Charles that combines great energy, professionalism, and an amazing atmosphere, The Lewis is it. Highly recommend. 🤍 — Alissa & Tim

I loved this place. The cocktails are very innovative with clever 70s references in the names, and they also serve the classics. I got the Ripley as I love the movie Alien. The 70s theme is a nice touch and they did a great job of making it look like 70s decor without being tacky. We were only here for one round as we had dinner reservations to make, but if I’m anywhere near this area again, I’ll be sure to have a longer visit.
