http://www.mcgurks.com Such a welcoming place that it equally suits the blue-collar after-work drinkers, the hungry neighborhood regulars at lunch and dinner and the preppily dressed west-county throngs on weekends. The standard pub fare is unquestionably good -- with an Irish stew worth dreaming about at night and a burger to make an idiot of yourself for -- but surprisingly, the hoity-toitier choices such as pesto tortellini and Bailey's cheesecake are just as expertly done, as if they've been part of the Irish repertoire for generations. More importantly, McGurk's, considered by many to be the pre-eminent Irish bar in St. Louis, pulls arguably the best Guinness in town. The tiny stage is host to live Irish music seven nights a week, ranging from rowdy sing-a-longs to traditional reels and jigs played by master folk musicians.

This fun little piano bar is one of the few gay-friendly outposts in Fox Park. The piano bar is the perfect place for a little night music - though you may also want to consider stopping in early for their excellent happy hour: $3 Three Olives drinks, $5 martinis, and a host of cheap shots. The front patio is perfect for a summer evening, but if you don't feel like listening to cars whizz by, don't worry, there's another out back-highlights include (inexplicably) an old clawfoot tub and half a gigantic plaster cheeseburger on the second patio.

http://www.lempmansion.com Upon entering the Lemp Mansion, one enters the history of St. Louis brewing. The mansion, which housed the ill-fated Lemp family, maintains nineteenth-century décor and photographs of the family for guests to peruse. Lunch options include salads, sandwiches and pasta, including Szechuan pasta with broccoli, garlic, cayenne, Provel and Parmesan. Dinner guests can start their meals with appetizers such as a German sausage platter or crab cakes, then, for the main course, feast on seafood, chicken, veal, pork and steak entrèes, including a "carpetbaggers" steak - a butterflied tenderloin medallion stuffed with shrimp, herbs, tomatoes and garlic. On Sunday the restaurant offers a family-style chicken dinner. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
Livery Company, in the Cherokee Arts District, combines the charms of a dimly lit dive with a vintage speakeasy-style vibe. Utilizing its small stage, the casual chill spot hosts cover-free music events put on by local musicians on most weekends in addition to open mics, karaoke and trivia throughout the week. The bar, built by owner Emily Ebeling's father with materials from an old schoolhouse, accompanies decor and paraphernalia that harkens back to Cherokee's previous heyday in the '40s and '50s. Livery Company uses many small batch liquors, including locally made spirits and beers such as St. Louis Distillery's Cardinal Sin Vodka and Square One Distillery liquors. Plenty of inspiration from New Orleans comes in the form of small batch bourbons, Sazerac made with Herbsaint and Pimm's Cup alongside south city staples of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Miller High Life. South St. Louis Pizza Company offers snacks for hungry bar-goers. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.luvyduvys.com Luvy Duvy's Café across from Benton Park on Arsenal Street at Jefferson Avenue serves up breakfast and sandwiches in a cozy, friendly atmosphere.

http://www.themaproomstl.com Nestled in the Benton Park neighborhood, the Map Room has been converted from a meat market to a cozy coffeehouse and now serves an expansive list of teas and French-press coffees. For those looking for a nip in their sip, the Map Room also serves wine and spiked coffee and tea. For bites, select from the café's large dessert selection, including cupcakes, tortes and petits fours. On nice days, guests can enjoy the Map Room's spacious patio.

http://www.mollysinsoulard.com Soulard nightlife fixture Molly's has turned its former next-door neighbor Norton's into a bistro, with a Creole-influenced menu developed by chef Eric Brenner of Moxy. As at Moxy, the best dishes at Molly's are thoughtful but unpretentious - simply put: good food. Consider the duck breast in a light, sweet apricot-bourbon sauce or the tremendous Berkshire pork chop in an apple-brandy demiglace. Because this is a bistro, steak is available: filet or the less tender but often tastier hanger cut. The latter is topped with a poached egg - a nifty twist on the classic steak-and-egg pairing. Appetizers include "Etouffée Lasagna" with crawfish and andouille, and seared scallops with red beans and rice. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.nadinesginjoint.com While Nadine's labels itself a "gin joint," its menu caters to drinkers and teetotalers alike. Appetizers include hot wings, toasted ravioli and quesadillas, while the main courses feature sandwiches, kebabs, pork steak and seafood options. Nadine's also offers daily specials, such as stuffed peppers, a chicken Philly and chili mac. Guests can choose to sit inside or, on nice days, enjoy Nadine's patio.

http://www.myspace.com/omalleysirishbar Located on Cherokee Antique Row in Marine Villa across from the Benton Park neighborhood, O'Malley's Irish Pub serves up typical Irish dishes, such as shepherd's pie, corned beef and cabbage, and potato soup. The affordable meals also include American pub grub, including chicken strips and burgers. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.oldrockhouse.com In the basement of the Old Rock House lies the Smoke Joint, a barbecue spot that provides concertgoers with Memphis-style ribs, Frito pie, chicken and turkey sandwiches, all available during the venue's live concerts. The restaurant's chef, Mark Renaud, competed in barbecue contest Memphis in May (He placed 17th overall out of more than 400 contestants.) Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.riverbendbar.com Owner Sam Kogos is a New Orleans native who owned a restaurant in that city, the Rendon Inn, for fifteen years. Chef Steve Daney, Kogos' cousin, was once executive chef for the mayor of New Orleans. So, yes, Riverbend is as authentic a Creole restaurant (with the occasional Cajun dish, to boot) as you will find in St. Louis. The crawfish Creolie is outstanding; the red beans and rice, available only on Monday, is worth planning your week around. The cochon de lait po' boy, thick with roasted pork, will ascend your list of favorite sandwiches. Save room for bread pudding. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.theshanti.com The Shanti is a truly laid-back kind of haunt, home to a bar, a jukebox, plenty of plastic palm trees, strings of lights and enough tchotchkes to make any decent garage sale jealous. The outdoor courtyard hosts warm-weather fun and cool-weather fire pits, and live music fills the small bar with a variety of tunes nearly every night. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.socialhousesoulard.com Social House took over the spot formerly occupied by M.P. O'Reilly's in Soulard across from the farmers' market. Its menu features typical pub grub -- wings, spinach-artichoke dip and nachos to start, with burgers, sandwiches and pizza later on the list. Wraps include a veggie option, featuring roasted vegetables, rice and tomato-basil sauce. Social House also offers entertainment, with pool tables, video games, dart boards and a large dance floor where 18-year-olds can mingle with the 21-and-up crowd while scantily clad shot girls deliver Jagerbombs and Bud Light in pitchers.

The Soulard jazz-and-blues club Spooty's recently reopened with new owners as an entirely different concept: Sonny's. Gone are the open-mic blues jams; in their place is a pretty standard Soulard watering hole -- meaning that Sonny's is cheerful, casual and cheap. Nothing wrong with that--except think twice before you bring a date. Tuesday night trivia runs from 8 to 10 p.m., while an all-day happy hour on Wednesdays includes $2 24-ounce beer cans all day long. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.soulardbastille.com If you're looking for a smoky gay bar in which to wile the night away, the Soulard Bastille may be your new favorite hang. The owner closed the kitchen in order to skirt the 2011 smoking ban, and has since hung giant cigarette sculptures outside the bar that read "This house is a'smokin." The walls are covered in flair, from a buffalo head on the wall to Rocky Horror light-up signs and rainbow-colored icicle lights adorning the ceiling. The bartenders are extremely friendly; don't be surprised if they ask you -- no, make that, order you -- to belly up to the bar for mandatory shots. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.tiptopinsoulard.com This Soulard hole-in-the-wall offers standard bar-and-grill fare - burgers, steaks and sandwiches - as well as a few Serbian dishes, courtesy of owner Djorde "George" Korac. Cevapcici are meaty Serbian sausages, served here over grilled pita rounds with red pepper, tomato, onion and feta cheese. The same sides accompany the shish kebab, basted with a smoky, mildly sweet sauce. The fried chicken, too, is a standout. Overall, the menu is executed well enough to have earned Tip Top Food & Spirits the RFT's award for "Best Bar Food" in 2008. This proficiency in the kitchen may also be a reason why Tip Top has gone a different path than many of its dive-bar competitors: Smoking is no longer allowed here. There are two lovely patios (one covered, the other open) for dining, and drinking, al fresco. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.truemanssoulard.com No frills is the name of the game for this bar located on the edge of both Soulard and Benton Park. It's a big stop each year for folks walking down to the annual Mardi Gras celebration and also a great place to sit outside when the weather is nice. The summer months also find Trueman's hosting sand volleyball leagues. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.tuckersplacestl.com Tucker's Place is known first and foremost for its great steaks. Each location -- there are three total -- serves up filets, sirloins, strips and porterhouses alongside a pizza menu. Tucker's also has a variety of specials, including "prime time Tuesday," which offers diners either a 16 or 24-ounce prime rib for $14.95 or $18.95, respectively. Tucker's is also one of the most laid-back places to meet friends for drinks in Soulard's booming bar scene. The dark wood bar and dim lighting give it a classic vibe, but the slightly more formal dining area make it a suitable place to take a date or meet up with friends or family for a great meal.

http://www.thevenicecafe.com Eccentric haven Venice Café provides a bright, colorful spot to take in live music and enjoy Caribbean fare - Rasta kabobs (available with jerk chicken, beef or veggie), Red Stripe Porker (pork tenderloin) and fried plantains are among the options. Venice Café's drinks include standard beer and liquor choices, and happy hour specials run Monday through Saturday. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.myspace.com/wayoutclub Nostalgia hits like a ton bricks at this club, adorned with framed photos and artwork of pop culture past. Every inch of wall and ceiling space is covered with something here: B-movie posters, random art, framed pin-up girls giving their best sexyface, a collection of dead, vintage televisions, and weird alien fetuses housed in glass bottles like so many formaldehyde frogs. The TV sets that do work display obscure exploitation and indie-flicks. This hip watering hole has a venue side with a tall stage, booming sound system and enough seating in the form of '50s dinette sets to make Betty Draper jealous. In its storied history, the Way Out Club has hosted many a music group, ranging from psychedelic jam bands to all-girl garage rockers. Both the bar and show areas are spacious, providing ample room for the occasional interpretive dance, or punk rock flailing. The booze selection looks keen, and this spot stands to be a rare haven for hippies and hipsters alike. Just don't forget to give Angus, the Way Out's resident feline, some love; he's really the one running the place. Read more about this St. Louis bar or club >>
http://www.yemanjabrasil.com Yemanja Brasil preserves the authenticity of Brazilian cuisine as much as possible given the limited availability of the extraordinary fishes, fruits, spices and other raw materials native to South America. Be prepared to duke it out with a few red-hot chile peppers. Feijoada, for example, a stew of pork and black beans that serves as Brazil's national dish, is aggressive enough to sandbag anyone whose palate hasn't been in training. Many of Yemanja's dishes are deep-fried as well as spicy. But Brazil's cuisine is one of the most appealing in the world, and Yemanja does a fine job of introducing us to it.
