http://www.jpscornerstl.com Although it's on the corner of a strip mall, J.P.'s maintains the comforting grit of your favorite back-alley dive. The space is vast, with tons of seating and a good-size stage Three full-size pool tables host billiard tourneys, while other gamers can enjoy darts, video games and Megatouch. Daily happy hour features cheap drinks and free food to boot. More >>
http://www.stl-jacksons.com This vibrant bar and restaurant located on Dogtown's southern cusp touts its atmosphere, and for good reason. Nestled between nondescript buildings on a particularly bland stretch of Manchester's industrial section, JackSon's bright exterior alone warrants a second glance, with its ornately crafted neon sun light and welcoming patio. Upon stepping inside, appropriately dim lighting accentuates a long bar with lacquered wood trim, wall-spanning murals and a wooden statue of what appears to be a pirate -- or maybe a castaway. As for the food: Andy and Dave Dalton opened JackSons' in honor of their late father, Jack, a south-city tavernkeeper, and chef Vince Anderson does a fine job keeping things basic. Dad would be especially proud of the two-inch-thick New York strip, which weighs in at nearly a full pound. Beef fillet in pan jus is another winner. Appetizers and pizza are available in the bar area until late-night -- perfect for fueling up during JackSon's weekly college night or during a performance by one of the many local bands that takes the stage here.

http://www.jazzstl.org/jazz-at-the-bistro/ Jazz at the Bistro is the main performance venue for the nonprofit Jazz St. Louis, but it's also a classic jazz club that frequently appears on lists of the best of its type in the country. A low-key, medium-size room where you can literally dine with the performers, the Bistro features multiple night stands by some of the hottest names in instrumental and vocal jazz -- and complements the music with a delicious menu and a tempting wine list. Performers rave about the good acoustics; patrons will be pleased with the equally good sightlines. More >>
http://www.jeffersonbistro.com Located just north of Chippewa Street in south city, Jefferson Avenue Bistro caters to the bar crowd and anyone looking for a cheap, quick bite to eat. There's plenty of seating inside and a small front patio for warm-weather days. For breakfast, Jefferson Avenue Bistro serves up the staples: omelets, pancakes, and eggs. Lunch and dinner bring pizza, burritos, sandwiches and burgers, including a Mexican burger featuring onions, cheese, jalapeños, peppers, crushed red pepper, salsa and sour cream. More >>
http://www.jeffersonwarehouse.com The Jefferson Warehouse is a newer addition to Fox Park on (wait for it) Jefferson Avenue. The venue, art gallery and bar features live music Tuesday through Saturday, with a range of acts from experimental post-punk to the mellowest acoustic folk. Owner Tony LaBarbera has offered his club to any local artists, whether they're newbies looking to cut their teeth in St. Louis' booming music scene or established acts needing new inspiration. There's a limited menu of concession fare, including hot dogs and nachos, so sit back and enjoy the show. More >>
http://www.jimmyscafe.com For nine years Jimmy's has served the tiny business district along DeMun with lunches, brunches and dinners. Now an adjacent bistro room offers a funkier feel and a light, streamlined menu of appetizers, salads, and grilled pizzas. Meanwhile, the café keeps on with its country-club look and ample selection of entrées. Two flash-fried starters -- the spinach, and fettuccine sticks -- continue to put smiles on diners' faces, and tenderloin Anthony (an eight-ounce cut topped with Gorgonzola, Brie and grilled shrimp) is an admirable study in excess. Desserts, though by no means daring, are delicious. More >>
http://www.jjsclubhouse.com/index.htm Tucked away in a dimly lit building under a highway close to the Grove strip, JJ's Clubhouse has the feel of a hideout -- or at least an insiders' secret playland. The city's resident all-gay male "bear leather" bar offers pool, popcorn and pinball, and the friendly bartenders, adorned in strapping bondage vests, are always happy to pour their specialty shot of "Kactus Juice." Special weekly events include dart night and butch night, in which patrons come dressed in their best. Who knows? You could get lucky and stumble into JJ's during their annual HiBearNation convention, in which the downstairs dance floor is flooded with cheery Bears from all across the nation. If that statement incites fear, JJ's might not be the place for you. JJ's is a friendly bar for males with an open mind, and if you're up for that, it guarantees a gay old time. More >>
http://www.joaniespizzeria.com Joanie's Pizzeria serves up a variety of Italian options. Appetizers include T-ravs -- available with meat or spinach-artichoke, pizzas with thin, thick or double crust, and a large sandwich menu, which includes standard deli sandwiches and specialties (the Soulard muffalata, for example, contains Genoa salami, Bavarian ham, mozzarella, roasted peppers and antipasto relish). After their meal, sports fans can catch the free shuttle to Cards and Rams games. During nice weather, the large patio opens. More >>
Snuggled in the quaint French-inflected suburb of Old Town Florissant, Joe's Pub is a place with its *coeur* on its sleeve. This bar is teeming with a friendly crowd that's equal parts college students, sports fanatics and motorcycle enthusiasts. Joe's has an unusual level of extroversion: A surprising number of its regulars are thrilled to strike up a chat with newcomers. If you love beer-pong tournaments, conversations about upgrading your Harley and raucous karaoke -- and you don't mind wall-to-wall smoke -- Joe's has a cold one and some warm friends waiting for you. More >>
http://www.jpfields.com John P. Fields matches its bar atmosphere with a menu of pub grub. Options include gravy cheese fries, potato skins and fried pickles. There's also a "mini" menu with mini burgers (a.k.a. sliders) and mini chili dogs. Heartier meals include burgers, sandwiches and wraps. More >>
http://www.charliegittos.com The Gitto family name in St. Louis is synonymous with Italian food. Please note, however, that Johnny's is a jewel of a different cut from Charlie's. The menu features familiar Italian food, including salads, pastas, pizza, and risotto, but this River Des Peres outpost is better known for late night libations and wall-to-wall crowds. At around 10 p.m., Johnny Gitto's turns into one of those curious institutions that we call “a 3 a.m.” Those showing up after midnight will find loud music, and St. Louisians of all stripes vying for their chance to shine on the karaoke stage. Designated driver beware: Johnny's does have parking, but as the night wears on, finding a spot is tricky indeed. More >>
http://www.rivercity.com The "velvet lounge" part of Judy's Velvet Lounge is no understatement: The lush, colorful fabric covers everything from the ceiling to the bar. More cabaret than tavern, this oasis in the middle of River City Casino is one of only two bars inside the actual casino area. It's the perfect place for weary gamblers to take a break and enjoy their drinks in comfy, velvet-wrapped (of course!) swivel chairs. Large TVs line the walls, while one huge screen hangs down in front of the stage, making it almost impossible to miss that big game. Entertainment (including St. Louis favorites Well Hungarians, Big Bad VooDoo Daddy and various DJs) performs weekends on the oversized stage at the back of the large circular room. The circular theme plays out throughout the space, including the mirror in the middle of the ceiling and the massive chandelier above the entrance, giving the space a unified and luxurious feel. The all-white, well-lit bar stretches across almost the entire length of the second level above the stage/dance floor area, attracting video poker enthusiasts who like to have it all: drinks at hand, sports on TV and their game at their fingertips. More >>
http://www.thejumpinjupiter.com The brand-spankin' new Jumpin' Jupiter is St. Louis' first and only neo-supper club--inspired by the cabarets of old, the Jupiter offers burlesque, freak shows, and live music. Manager Ryan Callahan uses the Tropicana from I Love Lucy as an example of what they're going for. "You'd have a seat, you'd have a show, there was a stage, there was a house band. It was reliable every single time. Over the past 40 years, we've degraded into chaos -- we stopped having a high expectation of good food and entertainment." More >>
http://www.chunksofmeat.com Located in the heart of Overland at the intersection of Woodson and Midland, Just Bill's Place is a bar / music venue / excellent place to people-watch. The mix of local regulars and show-goers can make for a pretty interesting scene at times, especially on Fridays and Saturdays when local metal promotional group Chunks of Meat typically books shows. Coin-op pool tables provide a meeting ground of mutual respect for both groups, though the oft-crowded bar itself is where you're most likely to bump elbows with someone you don't know. The small-ish stage is set back in a room that could comfortably hold 100 people and could pack in 200 when necessary -- which is more often than one might expect. More >>
http://www.justjohnsclub.com Just John is one of the friendlier gay spots in town. The bar itself is massive, with two expansive patios, an outdoor bar and a stage for karaoke, drag shows and special events. We're not heterophobic by any means, but we're ready to swear off karaoke at straight bars forever after witnessing the Thursday night frivolity at Just John's. Make sure to look closely at the guy sitting next to you: He just might be a well-known drag queen, undercover on his night off in jeans and a baseball cap. More >>
