  • Tim’s Chrome Bar

    Tim’s Chrome Bar

    St. Louis, Missouri, USA

    4736 Gravois Avenue. Opens at 8 am; closes at 11 pm on Sundays, midnight on Wednesdays & Thursdays, and 1 am on Friday & Saturday “nights”. And, completely closed on Mondays & Tuesdays.

    Tim’s Chrome Bar is a funky 1970s-designed space with a Scooby-Doo vibe. We had Sunday brunch across the street at Das Bevo before walking over for drinks. But, I will say Tim’s menu items looked intriguing (things like Crab Rangoon Nachos, Groovy Spud – loaded fried mashed potato?).

    The bartenders were friendly. And my mezcal margarita was so delicious, I ended up getting a second one!

    Their Facebook and Instagram highlight Sunday afternoon bingo and comedy events. If I was a local, this would be a regular place for me. [I didn’t take enough photos myself, so these last several are “borrowed” from Tim’s social media page. You can see how cool this place is!?!?!]

  • Bevo Mill

    Bevo Mill

    St. Louis, Missouri, USA

    Das Bevo at 4749 Gravois Avenue is open 5-9 pm on Wednesdays to Fridays, 11 am – 9 pm on Saturdays, 10 am – 2 pm on Sundays.

    For a work trip, I flew into St. Louis recently and had a half day to hang out with a good friend for a morning adventure. We ended up at the Bevo Mill for Sunday brunch.

    There was someone setting up for live music, but we were there pretty early and enjoyed visiting in a unique environment over cocktails. I had an odd, but delicious combo of a slice of carrot cake and a potato cake appetizer. My friend had the Das Big Ass Sammie which was a large biscuit with a chicken schnitzel and a side of cheddar potatoes.

    This is a historic beer garden built by August Busch Sr. in 1916. Apparently, Busch toured Holland for a year seeking authentic artifacts and studying Dutch windmills. The “mill” is named after an Anheuser-Busch non-alcoholic malt beverage produced by the brewery during Prohibition.

    Then, we went across the street to Tim’s Chrome Bar!
