Just south of Interstate 44, Bruno's American Grill serves up classic home cooking and pub grub. Diners can choose to sit in the large, separate dining room or in the spacious bar area. The bar also hosts live music and has two large TVs for sports fans to get their fix. Besides burgers, St. Louis-style pizza, soups, and standard appetizers such as toasted ravioli and potato skins, the restaurant also offers sandwiches, including a hot ham and cheese, and "pub platters," which are available after 4 p.m. and include items such as grilled pork chops, or opt for the house special (also available after 4 p.m.) fried chicken served with mashed potatoes and gravy. Bruno's has plenty of parking behind the restaurant.
Conveniently located at the confluence of two major highways, Springdale Bar and Grill is Fenton's premier watering hole for the weary road warrior. Harleys and lesser hogs park in the shade of hulking semis, while leather-chapped bikers hunch over plates of various barbecued and baked proteins. A jukebox blares a twangy voice singing plaintively about seeing a truck that ain't his parked in his driveway. Asked his favorite thing about the Springdale Bar and Grill, a lone trucker sitting on the outdoor patio looks up from his gruel and nods in the direction of his plate and then says, "Ixnay on the estions-que." In addition to serving up fine home cookin', Springdale Bar and Grill offers a range of other amenities, such as free Texas hold 'em on Sunday and Monday nights, a darts league, washers, horse shoes and other competitive activities that don't involve a great deal of physical movement - and a home away from home for fluent speakers of Pig Latin.
The Kirkwood location of Mike Duffy's opened in 1986. Since then, Mike Duffy's has expanded to Chesterfield and Richmond Heights. Each location provides the go-to foods to accompany any sporting event. Appetizers include traditional faves such as spinach-artichoke dip, crab cakes and sliders. The extensive burger menu offers more than the usual suspects - diners may choose to feast on a veggie burger or bison burger instead of the traditional beef. The menu also includes hot dogs, sandwiches and about eight options for the kiddos, who, conveniently enough, also eat free on Tuesdays with a paying adult.
Urban Chestnut Brewing Company’s original microbrewery in Midtown is a gem of a biergarten that serves up a delicious and rotating selection of beers. Brewmaster Florian Kuplent brings nearly two decades of beer-making experience and a novel brewing philosophy that results in two different lines of beer; Urban Chestnut’s “Reverence” series pays homage to the European brewing heritage with classic brewing techniques and styles, while “Revolution” employs more innovative, artisanal techniques to create contemporary American beers. So, whether you prefer the yeastiness of an old-school Bavarian lager like the Zwickel or a hopped-up monster of an ale like the STLIPA, Urban Chestnut’s got you covered. In addition to their excellent selection, Urban Chestnut offers a small food menu mostly composed of German biergarten staples like sausages, pretzel bread and mustard, as well as a small selection of both domestic and imported cheeses.
