 Music, fun and beer in one location |
2028 S Ninth St St. Louis, MO 63104 United States +1 314 773 5565 http://www.hammerstones.net/ |
Thanks to live music, this popular hangout is probably known more for fun than food, but that does not mean you will not be impressed with the culinary results. Do not expect an extensive menu, although you will be more than satisfied with one of the delicious burgers, the Philly cheese steak sandwich or one of a variety of salads. The beer selection is impressive, with domestic choices around. The simple menu is actually quite impressive. Overall, it is a good place to unwind with friends or enjoy a casual date, but you will probably want to go elsewhere for a serious business meeting or a true romantic dinner.

A wee bit of Dublin in St. Louis |
1200 Russell Blvd St. Louis, MO 63104 United States +1 314 776 8309 |
This pub is as close to Dublin as you can get in St. Louis. You will find a large selection of beers, including 16 on tap, and live Irish bands frequently perform traditional Celtic music here. If you are looking for comfort food, especially on a chilly evening, try the traditional Irish potato soup, which is thick with potatoes, celery and onions and topped with cheese. If you are looking for the Irish-American favorite of corned beef and cabbage, you can order that, too. McGurk's was named Best Pub by an area publication. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Mystery Dinner Theater |
3322 DeMenil Place St. Louis, MO 63118 United States +1 314 664 8024 http://www.lempmansion.com |
Murder, mystery and mayhem are all part of what you'll find here. No one knows whether he or she will be the next "victim" or the one to solve the case. The haunting history of the 1860s mansion adds to the exciting atmosphere. Although this is a bed-and-breakfast establishment, the dinner theater is open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays at 7p. Reservations are recommended. Review © 2007, Wcities |

As rated by the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Off Broadway is known for being the area's best place to see live music. The schedule of bands appearing here is always full.
