Bars in Downtown St. Louis

Paddy O's
St. Louis, MO 63102
Phone number: 314-588-7313

We went to Paddy O's after the Cardinals' game, and we had to buy $8.50 beers in the Cardinals' game. But, Paddy O's is just as bad. Paddy O's is a bar that is on the south side of the Busch Stadium and has outside tents with bars underneath. At Paddy O's I had to pay $6 for a 16 oz beer and $7 for a Red Bull and Vodka in a little plastic cup. This place is a huge rip-off. We left and went to Kilroy's after the first drink. Even if I wanted another drink it would have taken forever to get one. The place was packed, so I guess that Paddy O's is doing something right. I wonder why people complain about paying such high prices at a St. Louis Cardinals' game and then come to this place and pay even higher prices.

Prices: $6 for a 16 oz beer, $7 for a Red Bull and Vodka

Kilroy's
720 S. 7th Street
St. Louis, MO 63102
Phone Number: 314-621-1960

I went to a Cardinals' game over the weekend and it is always a good time when the Cubs are in town. Before the game we went to the bar Kilroy was Here, which by the way is a terrible name for a bar. I don't know why they named it that, is it because that is what the rock opera was named by Styx? But, Kilroy's is a good place to drink before and after a Cardinals' game. Kilroy's has plenty of places to sit outside on their huge patio. The best part about Kilroy's is that they have $5 24 oz. cans. You can't beat that price anywhere else. Every time I walk by Kilroy's they are always cooking something that smells good. You can't beat the price of beer or the smell of bar-b-q any where else before or after the Cardinals game.

Prices: $5 for a 24 oz. beer

Seamus McDaniel's
1208 Tamm Ave
St. Louis, MO 63139

Seamus McDaniel's is a bar and grill located in the heart of Dogtown. Seamus McDaniel's is a pretty big place with three different rooms and an outside patio. We went for lunch around 11:45 and we were able to get a table, but by the time noon rolled around the place was packed. Seamus McDaniel's has all of the bar food favorites like the potato skins, nachos, burgers, sandwiches and plenty of other great food. Seamus McDaniel's is also a great place to hang out and drink some beer.

I ordered the philly sandwich. The philly sandwich was piled high with roast beef, peppers, onions, and cream cheese. The cream cheese makes the sandwich. I wish more places would put cream cheese on their philly. The sandwich was huge and it was on of the better philly sandwiches that I have had in a while. This thing was good. The sandwich came with a side of fries. All of the sandwiches at Seamus McDaniel's are huge. I definitly got my monies worth at Seamus McDaniel's. I would go back and order the same thing again. The sandwich was great.

Prices: $7.50 for a huge philly sandwich and fries.

Humphrey's Restaurant and Tavern
3700 Laclede Ave
St. Louis, MO 63108
Phone number: 314-535-0700

Humphrey's Restaurant and Tavern is a St. Louis University bar. It is close to the campus and frequently visited by St. Louis University students and other college students on weekends and big drinking nights. But, they also serve food. Humphrey's is a large place that is multileveled and has a nice feel to it. I wish the menu was a little bigger, but the food I had was good. The menu consisted of mostly appetizers, a few sandwiches and a few salads. The prices were just about where you would see other bar and grill prices.

I ordered the Philly sandwich. The menu stated that the Philly came with chips. I thought they would be the homemade style chips, but they were ruffles. Humphrey's should change their menu to say that the chips are not homemade, or they are ordinary potato chips. If I would have known they were ordinary potato chips, then I would have gotten fries. The Philly sandwich was good. The sandwich was covered in chese, but it was a little small. I left the place feeling a little hungry still. The sandwich is good, the chips were not, but I would eat there again.

Prices: About $6.50 for a Philly sandwich and chips

Laclede Street Bar and Grill
3818 Laclede Ave
St. Louis, MO 63108
Phone Number: 314-531-1600

Laclede Street Bar and Grill is known to pack that place with St. Louis University college kids at night, but it is also a good place to grab lunch. Laclede Street is a typical Bar and Grill, that turns into a dance club at night, or at least it did when I was in college. We went there for lunch and the place was empty. There might have been four other people in the place the whole time. Laclede Street has a typical bar menu, but I really didn't look at it because they had a 10-inch pizza and salad special for $7.99.

I ordered the 10-inch pizza and salad. The salad was good, because of the dressing. The ranch dressing was peppery and very good. The pizza was a thin crust, St. Louis style, and that was good as well. It was filled with cheese and a topping, I picked bacon. This was a very good deal for $7.99. It looks like they have about four daily specials. All of them were reasonably priced.

Prices: $7.99 for a 10-inch pizza and a salad
