Three Sixty bar at Hilton Hotel

11/10/2013

Featuring one of the best views in St. Louis, 360 (perched atop the 26th floor Ballpark Hilton) has garnered attention and rave reviews both locally and nationally. Open at 4 pm each day (and earlier for Cardinals game day), patrons enjoy a menu by Executive Chef Rex Hale, which features his sophisticated take on classic bar food and an eye toward innovation. While the food certainly takes center stage, the ambiance brings you in. On a packed weekend night, beautiful people of all sorts enjoy a DJ spin that starts at 9 and indoor and outdoor bars. There is never a bad view here and as soon as you walk in, you feel like a VIP. One South Broadway St. Louis, MO 63102

Thaxton Speakeasy

The old-fashioned Speakeasy is alive in well in downtown St. Louis! Enter through the back alley (which is the only respectable way to enter a speakeasy, in my opinion), find “Mad Dog” (who is actually a pretty nice fella) give him the secret password (found on the Thaxton Speakeasy website), and step back in time. Inside, you will find a beautifully restored art-deco building with renderings of lovely pin-up girls from a bygone era. Treasures are to be found both upstairs and downstairs from the main lobby—a balcony overlooks the action and a trip down the stairs reveals a bar and lounge area with many interesting painted details. This is a private event space and is only open to the public when there isn’t an event going on. That’s why one should keep a close eye on its events calendar. There is a weekly Prohibition night that provides “prohibition era pricing” on drinks, the nifty and swell sounds of Miss Jubilee and the Humdingers and a few dancers around to show you how to shake your shimmy or do your best Charleston. Other nights feature modern DJ spins and other events for all walks of life.

Karaoke

This town has had karaoke fever for years! Many restaurants and clubs offer at least one night of amateur warbling and the list is growing every day. If you go in with a willing attitude (and maybe a little liquid courage), you and your friends should have a great time. Karaoke stalwarts include Double D’s and the infamous Mike Talayna’s Jukebox, but new karaoke nights are gaining in popularity, including Drunken Fish on Mondays, O’ Shay’s Pub on Thursdays, Tom’s Bar and Grill on the weekends, and even local VFW Posts. Get your repressed Simon Cowell on and critique performances together or simply have goofy fun watching people and soaking up the atmosphere. And you MUST sing a duet—the cheesier the better!
