Tim's Chrome Bar

Tim's Chrome Bar is a dive, the epitome of a St. Louis dive. That smell of stale cigarettes in the air, Knights of Columbus hall table and chairs, mirrors on the wall that scream hello from the 1970's.  All of these things make me love this place.  

Both times I've been here the live music hasn't bee that bad.  Really fits the atmosphere.  Drinks and shots are cheap and the bartenders pour heavy.  I will be back to Tim's I'm sure and it will be just as glorious as the last time I was there.

Talk about throwback! This place is hilarious. Dark, and dated, Tim's Chrome Bar is located on Gravois across from Bevo Mill. They have a regular following of 60+ dancers who drink heavy and look like they have been doing so for many years.

They always have live music on Saturday nights. Usually, a two man band playing disco and wedding music. Very hokey, but FUN. We have made Tim's Chrome bar a stop on many a pub crawl and B-day party. It's a hoot to infiltrate, the bar and dance-floor with your own large group. Drinks are cheap and the regulars love it and aren't shy about joining in..

Visited on Friday night and had a marvelous time in this wood paneled wonder.  Wood veneer tables, brown vinyl chairs, a dance floor - yes!  There were two guys playing songs from the 70s and 80s - felt like a wedding reception.  

This would be a great place to bring a large group of friends to dance and drink with the older folks who must be regulars.  Plus this place is quite large - maybe they actually do have receptions here.  Definitely check it out when you hit the Silver Ballroom and other places nearby the Bevo Mill.
