The wife and I are gonna head west to St. Louis for the weekend. The Cards aren't home but we are gonna tour the stadium I think. Definitely gonna take the brewery tour too. Any suggestions on anything else to do while in town? Good eats? Places that might not be well publicized but worth a look? Seems like I always do Grants Farm and a ballgame but looking for new things to try.

Both links have the same info, but layed out differently...#1 link is video and #2 is a map of the places he visited.

Don't know much about STL, but Man v Food came to mind. 🤔

I lived in St. Louis for 5 years..... Ted Drewes for a Concrete!!!! It's summer... And it's a St. Louis tradition. Dinner on the "Hill" then Ted Drewes for dessert... when we go back to visit my wife's family thats our standard... Great Italian food in St. Louis... Although don't even think about anything they call Pizza... St. Louis style pizza has to be the worst pizza in the country...

Try Lester's...

On Clayton Rd...

The best Sports Bar in town IMO..

Statue of Stan The Man outside front door.

Lots of HDTV's

Excellent menu.

It's an neiborhood Canettos (not sure if I'm spelling it right) has the best pasta I've ever had!! And it's reasonable. You'll have a little wait but is worth it. Then head over to Ted Drewes for desert. Thats a real St. Louis evening. I can send you sOme more names later if you want. But you won't do better than Canettos for the money anywhere.

Canettos is fantastic and reasonable. However, my new favorite is Iron Barley. The applewood smoked prime rib is outstanding. They were also featured on the Food Network.

For local cigars, try Alcorns or the Hill cigar shop.

Not to nock the other suggestions, you can get a good piece of meat anywhere. And sports bars including Lester's are a dime a dozen... Im sure where you live here are plenty. If you want to have a St. Louis dinner head to the "Hill" and then Drewes... if your in the mood for Steak or a super fancy place there are plenty of those too... My 2 cents....But every town has a great steak place etc..

not to threadjack, but just got back from stl. and took a couple suggestions from this thread.. made it to the hill cigar shop... awesome shop, wish i had more time to spend in there, but the wife was angry and waiting in the car.... was the best of the 3 shops i went to, picked up some nice smokes up there, couple anjeo's, woams, and MF le bijou.

for food Canettos was closed, as was most of the resturants on the hill on sunday so didnt make it there, went to jack in the box instead:-& 🤒 🤒 did however make it to ted drews custard which was great.

wanted to thank everyone for the suggestions

We just got home as well, we are Cardinal fans so we ate at Albert Pujols restaraunt, took a guided tour of Busch Stadium which was great. We got to see tons of stuff you can never see on a game day. Toured the Anheuser-Busch factory too, and the free samples were much needed as hot as it was. Hope you all had a good weekend as well.
