"Out of the list of bars I went to for my 21st birthday, this was my favorite! They had a sweet cafe area, and a karaoke bar! The decor was amazing and my bartender was great. And the crowd was amazing and friendly despite it being a Tuesday night, I will be comming back!"

"The atmosphere at Odditeas (at Crack Fox) is mystical; like a modern apothecary meets occult curio shop. The food is Mediterranean inspired and there is an ample selection of cocktails, coffees, and teas."

"My expectations were blown away! I went for karaoke night and the vibes were immaculate. There was a large drink selection & the bartenders were friendly, quick, and on it! The decorations really set the tone for a moody-yet-energized time. We had so much fun singing along to the music. An absolute must-visit!"

"Crack Fox markets itself as a “home of the misfits,” yet its staffing reality tells a far less poetic story. Across repeated visits, I have never once observed a person of color employed behind the bar. Not once. That absence is not anecdotal—it is consistent. This is especially glaring given the location sits in the heart of downtown St. Louis, an area where Black and brown communities are abundant. In a neighborhood defined by diversity, its complete exclusion behind the counter reads as intentional, not incidental. For an establishment comfortable charging $18 for a bagel while cloaking itself in progressive language and counterculture branding, this homogeneity is not an oversight; it is a choice. Inclusivity, when genuine, is operational. Hiring is where values are either practiced—or exposed. What’s being sold here is rebellion as aesthetic, not principle. “Misfit” functions as a profitable slogan, safely curated, while the workforce remains conspicuously white and economically convenient. I will no longer support this business. I strongly urge Black and brown patrons to consider doing the same. The message is clear: your presence is welcome—your money is welcome—but your inclusion is not."

"If you are looking for a unique bar in downtown St Louis this is the place to go. If you are lucky enough to catch an event you are in for a night like other. All the bartenders are very talented and make delicious drinks! The also have a full tea and coffee area add on recently open which allows a space to work or relax!"
