Meramec Jack's

Looking for a place to blow off some steam after a long day? Why not take it out on the ample selection of electronic, multi-player games available at the unassuming and family-owned Meramec Jacks. Nestled in a Valley Park industrial yard, this sports bar has all the staples -- darts, Big Buck Hunter, Golden Tee, bags, bowling and the ever elusive bubble hockey. The friendly bartender waits on the tables, serves your bucket of beer cold, makes sure your fried artichoke hearts (or anything from the generous menu) are satisfactory and treats you like one of the family. Meramec Jacks is considerable in size, with four almost separate rooms, each presenting a different atmosphere. And while the game room, bar room and dining room are great, we'd recommend Nascar fans check out the fourth room, which has four full-sized racing suits and half a car on the wall. Yes, you read that right, half a car.
