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.

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 |

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 |

On Track at West Port Plaza |
314 West Port Plaza St. Louis, MO 63146 United States +1 314 434 7222 http://www.trainwrecksaloon.com/ |
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 |

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.
