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.

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.

 Small step for Laclede, big step for St. Louis. |

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 |

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 |

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.
