My favorite place in STL, and I just so happen to live 3 blocks away! It's a relaxed, inviting atmosphere with the best straight-forward beer in the city and some incredible food from their tiny kitchenette. Everything is great, but the Sriracha cream cheese pretzels and the hummus and pita are favorites. All their beer is 10oz pours for $2.50 or 20oz for $5 so you can really sample. Taco Sunday is also a great bet in the summer (Soup Sunday in winter). Closed on Mondays.

Ryder's Tavern
4123 Chippewa StQuiet, usually not busy bar with a nice beer selection.
My go-to bar (when I'm not at Civil Life). This neighborhood staple gets all sorts coming through the door, from hipsters to lifetime locals. The food is really good and the beer selection is solid. Cocktails hit the spot as well. The patio is large and inviting with a nice big fire pit.

Great wine bar with a beautiful patio. Mid-week late night special is awesome. Romantic atmosphere, but I've been known to stop in there after a night at the climbing gym as well!

Although they specialize in hot dogs, I go for their chili mac and cheese bowl. Star Wars fans will love the decor.
