The Dry Dock

This place is a lot nicer on the inside than you would think.  High laquered wood is everywhere.  It reminds me of an upscale old western bar.  Drinks were cheap.  Someone was smoking a cigar and stunk up the place.  Cash only.

I don't drink in the county that often, but if I do I'm definitely going back here.  Sure, it looks like a dive on the outside but inside the place is absolutely amazing.  Not only that, this place has a top-notch smoking ventilation system. I'm a non smoker and came in with a bunch of people who do and came out not smelling like an ashtray.

Pro-Tip: This place is cash only!

Drinks were cheap, $3.50 for a Bacardi and Coke isn't bad.  The bartenders are super friendly and the place is clean.  When I say clean I mean this is probably the cleanest bar I've been to in the St. Louis area.

They don't serve food but they do allow you to call places for Pizza and have stuff delivered which is awesome as well.  Plenty of popular bar video games. A bunch of TVs.  They have DirecTV with every sports package so that was nice when I got to watch the Vancouver Canucks take on the Oilers when the Blues were in contention for the Western Conference title.  If this place was in the City I'd call it my second home.

From the outside, it looks like any other dive bar in Lemay.  However, this place is amazing once you get inside.  The jukebox is almost playing something decent, the beer is cheap, and the crowd lends itself to plenty of interesting people watching.   (just think of the locale...and imagine the cross section that meets up here)

Also, bonus points for it being loud but not so loud that a conversation is out of the question.  By far, my favorite Lemay bar.
