Hair of the Dog

This is the only place on Washington I care to be a patron of on a Saturday night, though really it's best to go during the week. Good beer selection and a dress how you want. Plus, you can sit out on the sidewalk and just observe the ridiculousness that is Washington Ave on the weekend. People might as well just procreate in the streets.
If you want to know what the most extreme combination of short skirt and high heels is, you can witness it while drinking a good draft beer.

Awesome bar right in the heart of downtown. I usually end up here when I head to was ave. The have everything from old school pacman arcade games to shuffleboards in the back. Quick service and decently priced drinks. This place also has one of the most amazing jukeboxes I have ever seen. Absolutely recommend going there.

I was in St. Louis for a couple nights and went here. This is a great bar. It's a dive, and that's the way I like them. It has a jukebox and a few games (darts, bubble hockey, shuffleboard). The drinks are priced well. And, they even have a decent selection of beer. The place is kind of small. It has single person bathrooms (one for men and one for women). The only reason that I could not give it 5 stars is because there were people here playing the same exact top 40 music on the jukebox that you hear in every other trendy bar. That dampened the experience for me. But, it probably was just because it was a Friday night and that's the crowd that was there.
