Dressel’s Pub (419 North Euclid Avenue) has long been one of St. Louis’ finest Welsh pubs, with authentic dishes, tasty pints of beer and good conversation. Thanks to a recent remodel, it's also a stylish spot for a date or a dinner party.
For the RFT’s Food Critic Alexa Beattie, a native of Great Britain, Dressel's has long held a special place in her heart. She was especially impressed by the Colorado ground lamb burger with apricot chutney, whipped goat cheese, pickles and lettuce on a brioche bun. She calls the burger “tender and farmyardy, and sweetly/jammily zinged, it is — in my opinionated, British-person opinion — beyond sublime.” And though the fish and chips, made with beer-battered Norwegian haddock, was missing the longed-for pickled egg, Beattie praised the "blisteringly clean, snowy flesh" and batter that was "delicately crisp, not too oily."
Dressel’s also famously serves a fresh-baked pretzel, a handful of other apps and entrees and desserts including bread pudding and Mexican chocolate pot de creme.
