 For a terrific business lunch |
10 Broadway St. Louis, MO 63101 United States +1 314 231 7007 |
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. Make sure to sample the wonderful bread. Sandwiches include burgers, a grilled rib eye and an excellent fish sandwich. Many of Tony's famous pasta dishes are also on the menu.

Open tilll 3a |
807 North 2nd Street St. Louis, MO 63102 United States +1 314 241 1754 http://www.thebigbangbar.com |
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. This is not a congested space, so you'll find ample room by the two bars and alfresco dinner seating. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Psychedelic 70s scene |
500 St. Louis Union Station St. Louis, MO 63103 United States +1 314 436 7311 |
While in the downtown area, step back in time to the psychedelic 70s and shake a groove in this funky retro café. Among the fun and frolicking, however, there are some rules, including a dress code that requires shirts to be tucked in. Crowds of college students frequent this establishment, but do not be surprised to see a grandma or grandpa here, too. Have a Nice Day Cafe is a popular straight café but is also a hangout among some of the gay/lesbian crowd. A menu of tasty American dishes awaits the hungry visitor. While the list of items is not long, the quality makes up for the lack of quantity. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Small step for Laclede, big step for St. Louis. |
701 N Second St St. Louis, MO 63102 United States +1 314 241 5875 http://www.lacledeslanding.org/ |
The district is named after Pierre Laclede, the man who founded St. Louis. Amuse yourself by walking on the cobblestone streets or, if you are feeling bold, take a horse-drawn carriage ride and enjoy the view of the riverboat casinos on the Mississippi. 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 |

Staying on track |
720 N 1st St St. Louis, MO 63102 United States +1 314 436 1006 http://www.trainwrecksaloon.com/ |
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 |
