  • Chaifetz Arena

    Chaifetz Arena

    1 S. Compton Ave. St. Louis - Midtown

    314-977-5000

    , ,
    You won't leave Chaifetz Arena without overhearing at least one discussion about how to pronounce the name of the 10,000-seat arena on the campus of St. Louis University (for the record, it's Shay-fetz, not Chay-fitz or Kay-feetz). But you don't come here for the name or the SLU connection - it's all about the music, man! Though not quite as massive as the Scottrade Center, Chaifetz has hosted a laundry list of A-list performers, including Lil' Wayne, Vampire Weekend and even Bob Dylan. This is the place for shows that don't require production teams equal to the population of most small Missouri towns. Since most shows at Chaifetz are free or heavily discounted for students, the crowd can be, well, a little less than reverent to the folks on stage, but never mind that. In addition to its musical offerings, Chaifetz also plays host to SLU-approved political figures and speakers on occasion, so just ignore the Bill O'Reilly house ads blazing during intermission.

  • Charlie Gitto's-Chesterfield

    Charlie Gitto's-Chesterfield

    15525 Olive Blvd. Chesterfield

    636-536-2199

    , ,
    Another satellite of the Hill insitution, Charlie Gitto's doesn't reinvent the Italian restaurant - and it doesn't need to. The kitchen handles the classic dishes with aplomb, and the spot-on service ensures a pleasant experience for all. Standout dishes include the pork "osso buco" - a mighty shank served with risotto Milanese - and the humble but delicious bucatini amatriciana, tubular pasta in a tomato-pancetta sauce.

    Citygarden

    801 Market St St. Louis - Downtown

    314-241-3337

    , ,
    Every town needs a literal stomping ground for kids of all ages to play, and Citygarden in downtown St. Louis provides just the right ratio of form-to-fun with its beautiful sculptures and climbable features. Citygarden has a many personalities including a picture-perfect destination for families to bask in on a summer day (bring swimming trunks so the tykes can splash around in the fountains) to a contemplative, lit-up scene for visitors to enjoy by night. With the Arch in the distance and groomed plants to offset the urban landscape, Citygarden serves as a fine destination for both locals and tourists alike.

  • Cleveland-Heath

    Cleveland-Heath

    106 N. Main St. Collinsville/ Edwardsville

    618-307-4830

    , , ,
    What to call Cleveland-Heath? Upscale traditional American? Haute bar food? How about one of the best new additions to the metro area’s food scene, well worth a trip to Edwardsville. The food is stellar, from the best cheddar biscuits you’ve ever had to a pork “porterhouse” as juicy and flavorful as a dry-aged steak. Oh, and the steak (served with potatoes roasted tender and then deep-fried crisp and deep-fried Brussels sprouts, to boot) is pretty sweet, too. Don’t let the unpretentious vibe fool you: Like the food, the service and attention to detail are topnotch.

  • Climb So iLL

    Climb So iLL

    1419 Carroll St. St. Louis - Lafayette Square

    314-621-1700

    ,
    Since opening in early 2012, Climb So Ill has quickly become a serious competitor to the more-established Upper Limits climbing gym in downtown St. Louis. Climb So Ill is located in the renovated power plant of the former City Hospital complex tucked between Lafayette Square and Soulard. The free, plentiful parking is nice but the complex itself is incredible. Modern colors and architecture blend with the red brick and soaring windows of the original structure to create a bright atmosphere that will make any preservationist proud. The facility itself features a main 55-foot wall with auto belay units, a large bouldering wall and a smaller wall for climbers just starting out. A day pass costs $15 plus gear rental, and a 10-visit pass is $120 (or $180 with gear rental). Memberships are also available for $59 or $75 per month; the more expensive option gets you unlimited equipment rental and access to the 24-hour “training zone” which features various devices to encourage climbing and general fitness. Classes and events such as birthday parties are available, and the mezzanine is a popular place for students to get some studying in during climbing breaks.

    There's coffee, and then there's coffee. The former is typically cheap and exists to get us through the day, while the latter is responsible for swoons and weakened knees at the simple utterance of "Blue Bottle" or "Intelligentsia." The small, passionate and tightly knit group of self-proclaimed coffee nerds behind Comet Coffee live and breathe for the seductive beverage in its finest forms.

  • Copia Urban Winery

    Copia Urban Winery

    1122 Washington Ave. St. Louis - Downtown

    314-241-9463

    , , , ,
    Copia beat the odds, reopening two and a half years after a fire gutted the stylish and popular Washington Avenue restaurant. The look and the menu didn't change much in the hiatus. The space is outsize, with a spacious main dining room and an even bigger "wine garden" (with a retractable roof!). The menu caters to the tastes of St. Louis diners before the economy collapsed. Standout dishes include the smoked spare ribs and duck breast in a sauce of its own pan juices with candied dates and green peppercorns. If a dish sounds too 1990s-early 2000s-ish to be good - like, say, tuna with wasabi-infused mashed potatoes - trust your gut.

  • Cork Wine Bar

    Cork Wine Bar

    423 S. Florissant Road Ferguson

    314-521-9463

    , , , , ,
    Sophisticated Cork Wine Bar offers diners in historic downtown Ferguson a selection of elegant wines and equally elegant food to accompany it. The area’s undisputed date-night spot, Cork serves a thoughtful menu of sharable dishes and larger entrees that go beyond the usual cheese and charcuterie you find at most wine bars — although, of course, it has those too. Not to miss are the bar’s thrilling wine flights, curated around a theme like sparkling, full-bodied reds or sweeter style whites. Don’t worry if you are intimidated about pairing cactus tacos or char sui glazed chicken with something to drink. The approachable wait staff has the know-how to guide you in whatever direction you want to go. $$. Patio. Closed Mondays.

    At The Crack Fox, visitors can feel free to let their freak flag fly or simply play the role of a leisurely standby. All are welcome at this eclectic downtown dive -- just don't be surprised to see anything from burlesque and drag performances one night to bondage and gotchic industrial garb the next. EDM spins, karaoke, open mics, metal shows and more also make up the list of participatory alternative entertainment offered here, and there's a huge selection of beer and handcrafted cocktails to wash it all down with. Take, for instance, the "ginger snap" made with ginger vodka, cinnamon Schnapps and lemonade. Come in to pick your poison and meet the cast of friendly fun-loving regulars, and don't forget to bring an open mind.

  • The Crow's Nest

    The Crow's Nest

    7336 Manchester Road Maplewood

    314-781-0989

    , , , , ,
    The Crow’s Nest in Maplewood offers a laid back atmosphere without slacking in the kitchen or bar. The food menu offers plentiful options for both meat lovers (burgers, meat loaf, deep fried deviled eggs, french dip) and vegetarians (chili served in a pretzel bowl, house-made veggie burger, grilled cheese sandwich with apple compote and honey). The Crow’s Nest also has Metal Brunch on Sundays from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. with all the old favorites: eggs benedict, french toast, omelets, breakfast tacos and burgers made with “the blackest of angus beef,” in addition to chicken and waffles and a veggie slinger. The Crow’s Nest has a slew of daily drink specials and weekly events. Happy hour is every Sunday through Thursday from 4-6 p.m., offering specials like $1 off draft beers, $2 PBR tall boys and $2 Stag pints. Weekly events include Arbitrary Judgment on Monday nights, a “completely absurd” trivia game hosted by RFT favorite Kenny Snarzyk, sponsored by Four Hands and therefore resulting in cheap pints. Specials can also be found during Taco Tuesdays and regular trivia nights on Thursdays.

  • Crushed Red

    Crushed Red

    8007 Maryland Ave., St. Louis Clayton

    Crushed Red is the manifestation of a new, homegrown fast-casual concept whose partners include prolific restaurateur Chris LaRocca and (Barrister’s and Milagro Modern Mexican) chef Jason Tilford. The menu is split between pizzas and salads; for both, you can build your own or choose a “crafted” option, like the “Chipotle BBQ Chicken” pizza or the “Cowpoke Smoke” salad (which features smoked brisket, red onion and blue cheese. The pizzas are perfectly sized for one, the ingredients fresh and well prepared.

  • The Dam

    The Dam

    3173 Morganford Road St. Louis - South City

    314-771-3173

    , ,
    Opened as a means to provide food service to ravenous soccer fans at the adjacent Amsterdam Tavern, the Dam is the quintessential burger-and-hot-dog shack. Unlike traditional bar food, however, the Dam lives by its motto “slow food, fast,” using antibiotic and hormone-free local meats and seasonal, organic produce grown by local farmers. The result isn’t exactly health food – menu items include a selection of hot dogs covered in everything from cheese to jalapenos (one is even deep fried and wrapped in bacon), and Belgian-style fries dripping with mayonnaise. The Dam’s signatures are the fresh, hand-packed burgers; its namesake offering is a take on the patty melt served on buttery grilled sourdough with American and Swiss cheese. If one is feeling especially brave, if not slightly masochistic, the Dam’s "Animal" burger lives up to its infamous reputation. It’s three patties, smothered in sweet and spicy barbecue sauce, American cheese, grilled onions and a whole hog’s worth of bacon. The "Animal"’s piece de resistance is the grilled whole jalapeno that sits atop the patties and infuses the entire sandwich with its fiery flavor. Wear your stretchy pants.

    Dao Tien Vietnamese Bistro

    8600 Olive Blvd., University City Olivette/ Overland

    314-995-6960

    , , ,
    This small, brightly colored restaurant is a family affair, with owner Diane Dinh and her ex-husband Dinh Dang handling the kitchen duties, while several of their children staff the front of house. The menu features very good renditions of Vietnamese favorites including pho, banh mi and platters with pork chops, egg cakes and broken rice. Suon ram man -- spareribs steamed and then simmered in a clay pot with a complex sweet, salty and spicy beef stock-based sauce -- are a standout.

  • DeMun Oyster Bar

    DeMun Oyster Bar

    740 De Mun Ave., St. Louis Clayton

    314-725-0322

    , ,
    A gem in Clayton's lovely DeMun neighborhood, DeMun Oyster Bar brings in a fresh shipment of Pacific oysters from the Pacific Northwest every day. They're pricey ($2.50 to $3.50 apiece), but worth it for their impeccable freshness. If available, the sweet, silky Kumamatos are a treasure. Those who love oysters on the brinier side are sure to find something to love too, as are lovers of other seafood varieties, from mussels and clams to shrimp and scallops, and, for diner's who've entirely missed the boat, beef tenderloin. Appropriately, the wine list skews toward whites and sparkling wines that pair nicely with your shellfish splurge.

    Diablitos claims to have the largest tequila selection in all of St. Louis, including eight house-infused varieties. To create the house-infused flavors like hibiscus, cucumber or tea, Diablitos starts with Aqui Vamos Tequila made in El Paso, Texas, and adds other flavorful ingredients to create tequilas you can't find anywhere else. It also carries more than 100 different types of tequila, including reposado and mezcal varieties.

  • Dressel's

    Dressel's

    419 N. Euclid Ave. St. Louis - Central West End

    314-361-1060

    , , , , , ,
    Dressel’s is a St. Louis institution, the Platonic ideal of a Welsh pub and one of the very best spots in town for a pint of good beer and cultured conversation. Which makes the trick that owner Ben Dressel and chef Michael Miller have pulled all the more impressive: Without robbing Dressel’s of any of its charms, they have elevated its food to among the best in town. The dishes are unfussy but elegant and deeply flavored. Recent standouts have included trout over a celery-root purée, chicken paired with a classic panzanella bread salad and deviled eggs flavored with ham hock and wasabi. Never fear: Dressel’s pub essentials (the burger, the chips and rarebit) are still available, and still as delicious as ever.

  • EdgeWild Restaurant & Winery

    EdgeWild Restaurant & Winery

    550 Chesterfield Center Chesterfield

    636-532-0550

    , ,
    No grapes grow here on the outskirts of Chesterfield Mall, just around a bend in the looping drive from the new American Girl store, behind the Dillard's parking lot, in the building that once housed a restaurant called Bahama Breeze. But by law, if not by obvious outward appearance, EdgeWild Restaurant & Winery truly is a winery as well as restaurant. Steak Bruschetta - rosemary flank steak, blue cheese, arugula, chianti braised shallots, grilled baguette, shaved Parmesan and balsamic reduction. Here's how it's done: EdgeWild buys unfinished wines from wineries in California, Oregon and Washington, brings them to the restaurant and ages them there in oak barrels. The restaurant then bottles the wine under the EdgeWild label, which bears the same sleek logo that adorns the restaurant signage: the gray silhouette of a tree whose trunk turns into a mirrored reflection of itself in red.

  • Elaia

    Elaia

    1634 Tower Grove Ave. St. Louis - Tower Grove

    314-932-1088

    , , , ,
    Elaia brings elegant modern dining to the city's up-and-coming Botanical Heights neighborhood. The cooking of owner Ben Poremba is Mediterranean in the broadest possible sense: His mother hails from Morocco; he himself is a native of Israel who studied in France and Italy. He is confident enough to combine any or all of his influences in a single dish, and he shifts with ease from sophisticated compositions (a parfait of foie gras so delicate you spread it on toast as carefully as you'd polish your great-grandparents' china) to rustic fare (a salad with slivers of pressure-cooked pigs' ears). An à la carte menu is available, but ambitious diners should consider the tasting menu: a dozen or so courses that showcase the full range of Poremba's skills and talents. Elaia isn't cheap (the tasting menu costs $100 per person), but it belongs on the very short list of St. Louis' very best restaurants. Diners seeking a more casual experience can visit the adjoining wine bar, Olio.

  • Eleven65

    1165 Technology Drive, St. Louis O'Fallon, MO

    636-329-0065

    , ,
    Eleven65 brings upscale dining to O’Fallon. The menu consists of well-executed American dishes interspersed with standard bar fare, pizzas and pastas. Especially noteworthy are the bibb salad, a Mediterranean-inspired mix of chickpeas, cucumbers, tomatoes and feta cheese, and the mushroom ravioli, stuffed with duxelles and sprinkled with sliced exotic mushrooms all resting in a slightly sweet Madeira wine broth. The Cornish hen is given a warm spice with a garam masala rub, and the green harissa marinade on the salmon, although light, jazzes up an otherwise simple piece of fish. Eleven65’s pastry program is studded with creativity; the dulce de leche mousse with pretzel ice cream balances sweet and savory with bits of chocolate sable dough, Nutella ganache and caramelized sugar cake. The atmosphere lacks the upscale feel of the food, however, leaving diners to feel more like they are in a sparsely decorated office building than in a showroom for fine cuisine. With the food and service fundamentals down, however, this should be an easy fix.

    During the frigid winter months, this 20,000-seat arena is the Blues' home sweet home. But every now and again, the ice makes way for monumental showstoppers with jaw-dropping stage set-ups (think Springsteen, Lady Gaga or Nine Inch Nails, and yes, even The Bieber). Concertgoers looking for the VIP experience can rack up seats in 91 suites, 1,700 club seats and seven party rooms.

  • Erney's 32 Degree

    Erney's 32 Degree

    4200 Manchester Ave. St. Louis - Tower Grove

    314-652-7195

    , ,
    Erney's 32 is the only gay bar on the Manchester strip that actually feels like a dance club. Laser lights dance on the white, low-slung leather banquettes, music videos blare from a number of flat-screen TVs and there's even a dais in the back with a stripper pole. This bar, the brainchild of owner Mark Erney, snapped up RFT's nod for Best Gay Bar in 2009. The club draws its theme from the ice-cold vodka drinks served both at the bar and inside the club's VodBox - a walk-in cooler with the temp just above freezing, where patrons can enjoy vodka in its natural environment (think Moscow in January).
  • Euclid Records

    Euclid Records

    19 N. Gore Ave., St. Louis Webster Groves

    314-961-8978

    ,
    After 22 years in the Central West End, Euclid Records relocated farther west, landing in the picturesque expanse of Webster Groves. Ten years after that, they moved to a two-story spot on North Gore to give its collection of of vinyl, cassettes, compact discs and LPs more room to breathe. We've named it Best CD Store, Best Place to Buy Vinyl and Best Record Store more times than we can count. Euclid occasionally features in-stores from local and national touring acts and even run their own boutique label. Euclid isn't just known in River City, it recently traveled even further west (and south) to our sister city; that other place where they celebrate Mardi Gras and love fleurs-de-lis: New Orleans. Down in the graffiti-splashed Bywater district you'll find the little pink building full of big sounds.
  • Evangeline's

    512 N Euclid Ave St. Louis - Midtown

    314-367-3644

    , ,
    Evangeline's Bistro & Music House comes from the mind of a musician. Don Bailey, who got his start in the food business while running a concert venue named Three-1-Three in Belleville, Illinois, brings his latest venture to the Central West End. There, he'll present Southern-style dishes alongside live blues, jazz and singer-songwriters. Eats include appetizers like the "Crawfish Carolyn" made with Louisiana crawfish tails, Brandy cream sauce and Parmesan cheese. For a more filling meal, supplement that with entree options including gumbo, red beans and rice, chicken and sausage jambalaya, Louisiana shrimp creole and etouffee. A drink menu features wine by the glass or bottle, several beer options, classic cocktails and Champagne cocktails to drink the night away the New Orleans way.
