The Bunk House

My brother lives near Weston and we stopped in for lunch. The patty melt and fries were good... Perfect greasy, but delicious bar food. The place itself is what you would expect for a small town bar and grill, complete with juke box in the corner and condiments in a reused beer bottle 6 pack. The dudes at the bar were drinking beer bottles in koozies at 1:30pm on a Monday. Leave your coat in the car as it's a bit smoky and you'll probably leave smelling like a greasy bar. If this sounds like your kind of place, you're in for a treat because the food is guilty pleasure delish.

Great Place

This bar/venue is kind of hidden.   I had driven past it many times and never noticed it, in fact I only found it because I was looking for The Music Box, which is next door.   The map is wrong (as aremost online maps, it's located at the back of a large gravel lot southeast of the intersection of MO-45 and MO-P.

I was really surprised to find the bar open (it was late morning on a Saturday), as places that are focused on live music tend to open later in the day.    But the lonely bartender was present and ready to serve!

From the outside the bar looks a lot smaller than it really is.   On the inside the rustic full-sized bar takes up only the front end of the establishment.   It runs much further back where a table seating area gives way to pool tables, games, and a small stage for live music.

This was an enjoyable, unexpected find.
