Tucker's Place
St Louis, MOhappy hour
go in here on a friday night around 8 p.m. and get a beer at the bar. there are people pounding on tables, yelling, laughing and having a good time. tucker's has wood walls, wood tables and i think they'd give you wooden plates it it was sanitary. seems to draw a diverse crowd (bikers on iphones next to PDA'ing couples on dates). there are specials written on a chalkboard, i usually opt for the 18 oz. filet mignon, which will run you about $23. It's kind of how i imagine a steakhouse should be.
Pho Grand Restaurant
St Louis, MOthe hostess here
the hostess here will not let you stand inside the doorway. you go in, say table for two or whatever and she replies, quite sternly, "ok, now go outside." the food is pretty tasty though, get the chicken curry (19.03?) and ask for extra glasses of wine.
Black Thorn Pub
St Louis, MOGarlic, Air Hockey, Two Rooms
Black Thorn Pub is a landmark in Tower Grove south, located in a pocket of residences at Spring and Humphrey. It has two rooms, and after you walk in through the basic screen door you'll have a bar on your left. But the pizza -- deep dish delicious -- is the main attraction here, and the reason I keep coming back. There's also plenty of chalk to write on the walls and an air hockey table, perfect for testing one's reflexes after a few pints of the local brew.
Mc Gurks
St Louis, MOBest Bars in America
Classy men's mag Esquire named McGurk's (spell it right!) one of the best bars in America, and rightfully so. Located a few blocks south of me, I feel comfortable at this Irish pub any time of day or year. The bartenders wear crisp white shirts and black ties (no stripper-esque barmaidens here), greet you with a smile (also rare) and know their beers. Inside there is live Irish music a few nights a week and on the expansive outdoor patio, there's plenty of room to have a drink or dinner. It can be a hot spot -- that is somewhat of a meat market -- on weekend nights, so I recommend hitting up McGurk's on weekday night or a weekend day, taking in a game, a few beers and some food. Then walk home.
Uncle Bill's Pancake & Dinner
St Louis, MOAvoid late nights
the late-night crowd at Uncle Bill's -- drunk, loud, sometimes irritated -- should be experienced at least once by every St. Louisan, whether born here or a transplant. However, once you do the drunken late-night dining at UB's a few times, just avoid the place altogether, head up there for a delicious hangover breakfast and make sure you tip the third-shifters who are getting off as you stumble in the door about 8 a.m.
