Reviews on Bar food in East Saint Louis, Illinois, United States. East St. Louis is a city in St. Clair County, Illinois, across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri, in the Metro-East region of Southern Illinois. Once a bustling industrial center like many cities in the Rust Belt, East St. Louis has been severely affected by loss of jobs due to deindustrialization during the second half of the 20th century. In 1950, East St. Louis was the fourth largest city in Illinois when population peaked at 82,366. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 27,006, less than one-third of the 1950 census.

10. Budweiser Brew House at the Ball Park

The Budweiser Brew House offers a great location - right across the street from Cardinal's park with a limited view of the field. The outdoor seating a great - especially on a nice night. We were there when the Cardinals were out of town and sat outside. It wasn't a busy night but the service was glacially slow - waiter seemed like a nice guy but it took a wide to get our orders taken and beverages served. Prices were also on the high side - but I guess that is to be expected given the tourist location.

The brewery tour was great, very informative with our guide being very knowledgeable. The tour was free, and we received a cold glass of our choice of beer at the end.

Burgers were OK. Mine arrived without any of the toppings I'd asked for, though the server quickly remedied this when asked. Double cheeseburger came with one very thin slice of cheese. Pickles tasted more like cucumbers (yes, I know what pickles are made of). The house ketchup had a strange, unpleasant tang reminiscent of coconut; I found it inedible. Fries were not fresh-cut. Service was friendly. My husband remarked, after we left "I wouldn't make a point of eating here again."

Staying at Hyatt,the convenience of having this place was a bonus.We ate twice out of three nights,on both occasions the service was excellent and refreshingly laid back after the Steak House,the night before. Enjoyed the choice of craft beers and the food ordered was tasty and plentiful.The small tubs of local ice cream are delicious,by the way.

Sooner or later, usually sooner, all St. Louis Cardinals baseball fans and out-of-towners (like us) who visit St. Louis to attend a game and tour the historic sites will end up at Cardinals Nation, which occupies the first two floors of a 30,000-square-foot, three-story building in the St. Louis Ballpark Village across the street from Busch Stadium. Open at 11 a.m. daily, it is a spacious complex with a bi-level sports bar and grill plus the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum and a 338-seat, two-deck rooftop venue with a view of the park, an all-you-can-eat-buffet and a full-service bar. It's called the "Ultimate Bird's Nest." But you are advised to make reservations well in advance, especially if the Cardinals are in town. My wife and I managed to sneak into the restaurant for lunch. With three patios, two large bars, a host of large flat screen TVs and memorabilia galore, it's a popular entertainment venue and tourist destination. We started with a bowl of tomato soup, a pound of BBQ chicken wings and toasted ravioli with ground beef and Italian sausage, a St. Louis staple. For an entree, I couldn't resist a full rack of St. Louis-style pork ribs with tangy BBQ sauce, cream slaw and wild rice Pilaf. My wife settled for one of her favorites, a six-ounce sesame seared Atlantic salmon with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. For dessert, we had chocolate and strawberry shakes with chunks of vanilla ice cream. Afterward, we went upstairs to tour the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum. The Cardinals really know how to throw a party.

The Pub itself is really nice inside and has nice patio seating, i had the shepherds pie which was terrible, i have been to Ireland twice and had shepherd pies in US before in various restaurants and none tasted as bad as this one, it had NO Veggies in it,a shepherds pie least has to have some carrots and peas in it, plus it tasted like it was burned the only thing what tasted good was the mashed potatoes, it came with 2 tiny pieces of bread which crumpled apart when picking them up,also came with a tiny salad,15.95 for what was served is outrageous.My hubby had the Irish breakfast which was to his liking, but was missing the beans which is part of an Irish breakfast.The waitress was pretty nice,and what we thought she was Irish,cause she spoke with an accent,but when asked about the food ingredients and if she was Irish she quickly said No and lost the accent which i thought was pretty funny.

I am SO impressed with the Broadway Oyster Bar! I did the call ahead priority seating and we were seated right when we checked in on a busy Saturday night. Awesome! We ordered the Voodoo shrimp as a starter and it was phenomenal! Our waitress Carly (I hope I didnât spell that wrong) recommended the Hurricane drink and that was spot on as well. Carly was super friendly and helpful. She found the time on a busy Saturday to get to know our table and we appreciated that. I was stuck between two main dishes and she persuaded me to get the crawfish mona dish. WOW! Carly-thank you SO much. This meal was amazing and I will dream about it back in Michigan. Iâm so glad I found this place on Yelp. 10/10 we will be back someday. Your waitress Carly is a gem! We donât know either! I do know we get a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews just like yours because I respond to every review on Trip Advisor, Google and Yelp. We want to know how our guests feel about what we do and what they like and do not like. Thank you for coming to BOB and for choosing to follow up your visit with an outstanding 5 star review. We are very pleased to know that we impressed you with everything from our Preferred Seating program, great food and drink and especially our âfriendly and helpfulâ service from Carly. We try to bring a bit of the Southern hospitality that we know so well from our time in Louisiana here to our friends in the Midwest. Both Carly and I are thrilled to know that you found us and that you feel sure you will be back someday. Since we have been in business for 41 years, there is a pretty good chance we will still be here! Thank you for your support and we will look forward to your return. John
