16806 Chesterfield Airport Rd St. Louis, MO 63005 United States +1 636 532 7684 http://www.stl-eat.com/AnnieGu... |
"Fun and casual" is the name of the game in this American restaurant. Owners Thom and Jane Sehnert are friendly and well-known in the St. Louis community and culinary scene. Annie's serves great food, but that is somewhat offset by the cramped dining area and the lengthy wait. This restaurant is known for its steaks, but it also serves smoked meats, pork, fish, ribs, burgers and more. Outdoor dining is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

For a terrific business lunch |

Many fans of Tony's, indisputably one of the best restaurants in town, are unaware that Tony's fantastic food is available at lunchtime at the adjacent Anthony's Bar. Vince Bommarito owns both, and the food at Anthony's Bar comes from Tony's kitchen. Try the terrific Caesar salad for starters. A different soup is served daily.

Let your hair down, unwind or dance till the wee hours of the morning. The thumping live music is what makes this place one of the most popular in St. Louis. The centre of attraction are the two performers on baby-grand pianos. The crowd often rocks till 3a and don't be surprised if your waiter gets into the mood and shows off a few moves of his own.

Failoni's doesn't boast much in the way of decor, and it's open a mere 28 hours per week, but the food makes the place worth a visit and beckons the return of many regulars. The beer is always cold and the prices are cheap. The place is always crowded, so prepare for a short wait for both your table and your order.

Ready for your Request |
5900 Arsenal Street (Hampton) St. Louis, MO 63118 United States +1 314 645 8822 |
There are very few piano bars in the St. Louis area, so this place is a godsend for live music fans. The Hide Away features a piano player most nights of the week, playing contemporary and classic favorites, plus requests from patrons. This local favorite has been a staple of St. Louis for over 50 years, and has maintained much of its original charm and decor. Drinks are inexpensive and with a wide selection of brews, you won't be lacking in drink options. Be sure to stop by Thursday nights for your turn at the mic during karaoke night. When hunger strikes, locals favor the three-cheese grilled cheese sandwich, Chris' Burger with bacon and mushrooms, and other items with a little Italian influence. If you are there to catch a football game on TV, you can snack on free hotdogs and chili. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Former Playboy Club open for drinking & dancing |
3914 Lindell Blvd St. Louis, MO 63108 United States +1 314 533 0101 |
Since 1998, this bar has been hopping in the space of St. Louis' old Playboy Club. It features a downstairs dance floor as well as an upstairs one that offers a view of the crowd below. The dance floors are not large but are spacious enough to offer a good time. The lounge areas are great for relaxing and sipping on a beer or cocktail. Kearbey's is also one of the few places of its type in the area that accepts travelers cheques. It is a popular hangout and party spot for the college crowd, and due to the large crowds, it is best to get here early. Parking space is scarce as well, although this fact does not keep the people from coming back! Wednesday is college night; guests must be 18 to get in and 21 to drink. Review © 2007, Wcities |

50 televisions and eight satellites |
2765 N Hwy 67 St. Louis, MO 63033 United States +1 314 921 0626 |
Kenrod's All-Star Sports Grill sports bar is well known for its programming, as it has eight satellites and 50 televisions, which broadcast sports into every nook and cranny. However, it should be equally renowned for its cooking. The food never fails to satisfy and appeal. In fact, it might just be worth a visit even if you are not a sports fan. The all-time menu favorite is the massive, juicy cheeseburger, which is made to order. Rest assured that all entree portions are more than the average person can eat and are well worth the price; you might want to consider sharing unless you are extremely hungry.

The district is named after Pierre Laclede, the man who founded St. Louis.

There are several restaurants to choose from, and when the weather permits, you can dine outside and listen to the street musicians. Partake in a dinner theater show at the Royal Dumpe, which is actually a lot better than the name implies. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This place has been a favorite in St. Louis and a landmark for ice cream lovers since 1929. Mr. Drewes' cool, creamy delights are served upside down in order to prove just how creamy and thick they really are. Do not be alarmed by the ever-present line, as it moves along pretty quickly. An ice cream-style stand, complete with neon lights and twinkling bulbs, makes this a lively family hangout. It is so relaxed that the menu is handwritten. Try an array of frozen flavors, from pineapple, strawberry and chocolate chip to other odd titles such as the Terramizzou, Fox Treat and the All Shook Up. Visitors will miss a treat by not trying a Concrete. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Given the wood-plank floors and the large model train that circles the bar, customers here might really think that they are revisiting the Old West. The antiques scattered throughout the dining room date back to the late 1800s; even the booths are antiques. If the thought of Bison Tongue does not set your mouth to watering, you might just stick with a regular hamburger. Guests regularly order the bison and ostrich specialties, but the menu has something to appeal to everyone. Try the two-inch thick Trainwreck Chop, a Caesar salad, a glass of beer or wine and one of the house desserts - may be a mousse! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Trainwreck Saloon has been a favorite among both locals and visiting travelers since opening on July 4, 1996. You will think you have walked back in time to the days when duels were common and cowboys tipped their hats at pretty ladies. There is certainly something for everybody: a two-story nightclub below street level, a sports bar on the main level, the Top of the Wreck restaurant on the next level and a banquet room at the top. Sports memorabilia blends with authentic turn-of-the-century antiques to create a unique style. Customers range from the elite business professional to the average Joe looking for a fun night out. If the thought of bison tongue does not set your mouth to watering, you might just stick with a regular hamburger. Guests regularly order the bison and ostrich specialties, but the menu has something to appeal to everyone. Review © 2007, Wcities |

On track on Rock Hill |
9243 Manchester Rd St. Louis, MO 63144 United States +1 314 962 8148 http://www.trainwrecksaloon.com/ |
This Rock Hill location opened on July 2, 1982 and is the oldest tavern in the area. Housed in an old 1800s mansion, this tavern/bar/restaurant caters to customers ranging from the average Joe to the elite business professional. A historical, fun atmosphere is present in every corner, from the tables to the real caboose bar outisde on the patio. While dining outside, eat in the gazebo or at one of the redwood-stained picnic tables. If the thought of Bison Tongue doesn't set your mouth watering, you might just stick with a regular hamburger. This is a must-see place, and the food is pretty grand, too! Review © 2007, Wcities |
