Schlafly Bottleworks current event highlights

Posted by Crissa in things to do , maplewood , food , event , downtown , attractions

Schlafly is known for its great beer and for its two hotspots here in St. Louis: The Tap Room (down town) and The Bottleworks (Maplewood). Each brewpub serves great food, excellent in quality, taste and price, and each brewpub offers private parties and events. This spring and summer, head to the Schlafly Bottleworks for some fun events and some tasty beer.

Mmm..beer....

One of my newer favorite dinner hang outs is Schlafly Bottleworks in South County. I'm not much a beer drinker most nights, but I love the Hefeweizen and the Pilsner. If you are not a huge beer guzzler, try the Hefeweizen; if you are a Miller kind of guy/gal, go for the Pilsner. The drink glasses are large, filling and satisfying. The prices aren't bad either! If you like pizzas, you can order your own style mini pizza - and bison, goat cheese and bbq are options! I personally like the BLT with olive oil instead of globs of mayo. The servers are nice, the food comes up quick! Never a complaint from me. If you are looking for more of an intimate setting, go to the Schlafly Tap Room. It has a larger area for pool or darts and has 2 bars as opposed to the Bottlework's single bar. However, the menu at the Tap Room varies from that of Bottleworks. You cannot order the BLT or mini pizza at the Tap Room. My two favorite dinners a the Tap Room are the Corned Beef Sandwich and the Beer Battered Cod & Fries. Again, never a disappointment at this location either. Their food is always fresh and tasty!

Fattback and The Monads burn down the house at Deluxe

Posted by Lyndsay M. Johnson in reviews , music , maplewood , food , concerts , bars

monads deluxe maplewood It seems that Maplehood (er Maplewood, that is) is moving on up with its latest hot spot installment, Deluxe. Situated on Sutton catty-corner from the Jive n' Wail, on a parcel of land that used to house a rather shabby laundry mat, Deluxe is a hybrid of diner/bar/music venue. Though many residents dearly miss the laundry mat, Deluxe has already won rave reviews from locals. Deluxe's smooth transformation from diner to bar and music venue is impressive and a welcome solution to the age old “where do we eat before the show?” problem. Here is a break down of Deluxe's Jeckell and Hyde personae; first the diner, then the show.
