Southtown Pub

Abby — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:03:05 +0000

After the usual battle between Zack and I about where to go on a Friday night, we decided to check out Southtown Pub. Living in the Tower Grove area, we pass by it all the time, and it seems like a place that would fit our style (laid back and dive-y). We got there around 3pm and there were a Continue Reading...

International Tap House

Abby — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 15:41:08 +0000

We headed down to Soulard on Saturday night after dinner to check out the new iTap and their wonderful beer selection. My boyfriend, Zack, brews his own beer and loves to try new and local beers. At 10pm, we couldn’t find a table for our large group of twelve, so most of our group hung Continue Reading...

Joanie’s Pizzaria

Abby — Wed, 12 May 2010 21:57:35 +0000

I’ve been to Joanie’s a few times and have not been disappointed. However, be warned that I’m a St. Louis Provel hater! I’d rather have traditional mozzarella. I’m also a sucker for BBQ chicken pizza and theirs is awesome. I always get the thin crust. They Continue Reading...

Bommar’s Bar & Grill

Bommar’s Sports Bar & Grill 4621 Beck Ave., St Louis, MO, 63116 (314) 772-9500 We stumbled upon Bommar’s one weekend after making a visit to PetSmart. There are no signs from the street and it’s well hidden behind some car lots and a strip mall. We were surprised to see Continue Reading...

3 Monkeys

Abby — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:24:30 +0000

They have saved us on more than one occasion. Whether it’s fast friendly service, late night happy hour, or Sunday brunch, 3 Monkeys has yet to disappoint me. In fact, 3 Monkeys has made the short list of restaurants we frequent almost weekly and I’ll tell you why. First, their menu Continue Reading...

New in 2010

Abby — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:28:46 +0000

It seems like 2010 is the year of new beginnings. Entrepreneurs are taking chances on some great locations right here in South City St. Louis. Here are a few new places set to open soon (or already opened). Please leave a comment if you have any more information about these places or other Continue Reading...

Pet Shops in the City

Abby — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 20:12:50 +0000

I’ve added a few more reviews to the site. They’re mostly quick impressions on Yelp, but as I take more photos and visit those places again, I’ll add a fuller review to the blog. I wanted to use this post to mention a few city pet shops that we love and support. Four Muddy Continue Reading...

Morgan Ford Poker Pub Crawl

Abby — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 21:45:40 +0000

Last Saturday was the Poker Pub Crawl on the Morgan Ford strip. It was $10 to play, you got seven cards, and had to make the best (or worst) five card poker hand. The highest and lowest hand of the night received a percentage of the buy-in. We arrived at Colorado Bob’s around 2pm and Continue Reading...

Lafayette Fire Company No. 1

Abby — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:45:05 +0000

Zack and I were searching for someplace new for dinner last Thursday night and I remembered reading some pretty mixed reviews about Lafayette Fire Company No 1. I wanted to judge for myself, so we headed over there around 6pm. The atmosphere was cute and somewhat cheesy, which I guess matches Continue Reading...

Tin Can Tavern VIP

Abby — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:58:54 +0000

(NOTE: this post refers to the Morgan Ford location) The reviews of Tin Can are always pretty varied. Some people absolutely love the place and others think it’s just a manufactured dive bar. It took a while for Zack and me to warm up to the place, but once we did, we were sold. Continue Reading...
