Square One Brewery & Distillery

http://squareonebrewery.com

1727 Park Ave. St. Louis, MO

A favored haunt of @puredanger, Square One is known for its sandwiches and some of the finest nachos in the land. Anything dish including their flank steak is worthy of your time (the Philly, the chili, and the nachos are notable examples). Besides their food, Square One also has a fine selection of beers (the IPA and Scotch Ales are particular favorites). They also are one of very few micro-distilleries in the country, producing small batches of a wide variety of spirits from whiskey to absinthe.

Baily's Chocolate Bar

http://baileyschocolatebar.com

1915 Lafayette Ave St. Louis, MO

The Chocolate Bar is just a block or so from Square One. It's best known for its martinis and desserts (try the Bailey's Brownie) but it also has a fine selection on both draft and bottles.

Scottish Arms

6 S. Sarah St.
St. Louis, MO

(they also have a very fine selection of single malt scotches)

Civil Life Brewery

The English Bitter is the best new STL beer.

Blueberry Hill

Darts. Possibly infinite amount of curios in shelves. Reasonable beer selection, but an overall destination.
