Schottzie’s

Phone number: 314-842-7244

11428 Concord Village Ave

St. Louis, MO 63123

Shotzie’s is a small little bar situated between Lin Ferry and Lindbergh. This place is always packed with people all day long. This place is a local place that serves good food and cold beer. This place has some of the best St. Louis style pizza around. This sauce is sweet and it is very cheesy. This place has a huge menu filled with all of the fried bar favorites, to home style foods like country fried steak and mashed potatoes. This is a definite recommendation to go and get their pizza. It might be the best in St. Louis.

One step into Schottzie's bar and grill and you will be smelling like smoke for the next three days. But don't let the smoke filled place scare you away. The inside is an open room with about 20 tables and a bar along one wall. Schottzie's has some of the best food in South County, MO. The menu is stacked with the usual bar food, and even some unexpected food that is not found in all bars. They have chicken fried steak, shrimp, meatloaf, and all kinds of other stuff. The best thing at Schottzies is the pizza. The pizza at Schotzie's is some of the best in St. Louis. The pizza has a good sweet sauce and has a crispy thin crust. Schottzie's is also a great place to drink and hang out for a few beers.

I went to Schottzie's for lunch and ordered the chicken fried steak sandwich, and a house salad. The best part of the house salad is that it comes with a hot, soft pretzel. The country fried steak sandwich could have been better but it was still good. It was not as good a Kenrick's steak sandwich, but it is still good. The salad was a good salad with a lot of cheese, and a hot soft pretzel. While the menu is full of sandwiches, dinners, and other bar food, the pizza is a must have at Schottzie's.

Prices: $4.75 for a sandwich, $1.75 for fries, $4.50, and $1.25 for an iced tea

Klippers Pub and Grill

189 Concord Plaza Shopping Center

St. Louis, MO 63128

Phone: 314-842-9400

Klipper’s is the new restaurant where Tsevis’ used to be. They might as well call it Tsevis’ because it is the same menu and same look. The food was still unimpressive. I was never impressed by Tsevis’ when that was there so I am still unimpressed by Klipper’s. I though I would walk in and I would get a whole different feel from the place. I thought they would redo the menu into something more American, and make it into more of a sports bar. But they didn’t, and left the same dark wood paneling up.

First lets start with the bar. We went here looking to have dinner and then stick around at the bar for some drinks also. We ordered drinks with dinner and saw that they were $3.25 for a beer, and decided that after dinner we would go somewhere else that was cheaper, because we were in South County and there is no way a beer should cost $3.25 at a bar like this in South County. I don’t know who they think they are, but people are not going to pay a premium on beer to sit in a place like that.

Prices: $3.25 for a Bud Light, and $5 for a margarita

Buffalo Wild Wings - Find a Location

I went to the Buffalo Wild Wings in the South County Mall parking lot. It was a Friday night and the place was pretty packed, but we did not have to wait for a table. Inside Buffalo Wild Wings is a big open space with a bar area and bar tables for smoking and regular tables in the non-smoking section. There are televisions all over the place and they were tuned to all of the different sports channels. Buffalo Wild Wings is a great place to watch a game or many games at once. They also had the trivia game going. That is always an entertaining thing to do while drinking and waiting for the food to come out.

Buffalo Wild Wings has some good wraps. I ordered the chicken queso wrap. This was very good, but needed to be a little spicier, so I had the waiter bring me one of their 20 sauces that are available. They have a variety of mild and hot sauces to go with any item on the menu. The chicken queso wrap was good. I would order it again, but I would try something else next time. The beers were pretty expensive. A bottle of Bud Light was $3.25 The food was good, but the beer is too expensive for my kind of sports bar.

Prices: Chicken queso wrap - $6.95; Bud Light bottle - $3.25

Frailey's Southtown Grill

St. Louis, MO 63128
Phone Number: 314-892-1866

Frailey's Southtown Grill is located at Highway 55 and Butler Hill Road in South County, St. Louis. The inside is a typical bar and grill type atmosphere with a bar area and a separate dining area. There are a few video games to entertain the kids or adults. There was plenty of seating when we arrived at about 9:30 p.m. on a Friday night.

I went to Frailey's to meet some friends on Friday night and to watch the St. Louis Blues hockey game. To my surprise, Frailey's has $1.50 beer of the day specials. On Friday the beer of the day was Budweiser. It was delicious. I don't know if the beer of the day special is just on weekdays or if it is on weekends also. This is a great deal. Some of the cheapest drinks in St. Louis. I also know that Frailey's serves good food as well. I didn't eat any on Friday night, but I am sure I will be back to eat and take advantage of the $1.50 beer of the day special.

Prices: $1.50 for the beer of the day
