Poutine from Urban Chestnut Brewing Company in The Grove
A revolving door of poutine, thanks to a hyper-local approach, gets you Urban Chestnut’s should-be-famous fries smothered in rich gravy, cheese curds, and whatever toppings were looking good at the market.
Tacos from Fifth Wheel at 4 Hands
Though IPA finds its way into the marinated skirt steak and pastor sauce of two of the five tacos, a cellar list of higher-gravity beers found only on site means you’re gonna need a snack.
Burger from O Bar at O’Fallon Brewery
Made from Italian Piedmontese cattle sourced locally and fed spent grain from the brewery, O’Bar’s Premium Burgers are moist, perfectly cooked, and adorned simply with lettuce, tomato, and onion. This is also the only place we know of with Billy Goat Fries.
Brunch from Schlafly Bottleworks
Brunch here ought to begin with a hefemosa, the house Hefeweizen and orange juice, refreshing and un-sweet. Then it’s onward to either the regular lunch menu or a good-sized list of breakfast specialties, including a Benedict with crab cakes and some splendid grilled asparagus, which can be used to mop up the last of the buttery hollandaise sauce. Happily, the brunch is on offer both Saturday and Sunday.
Sunday soup from Civil Life
Enjoy snacks, great sandwiches, and stuff on toast all week long at Civil Life. On Sundays, the tiniest kitchen in beerdom offers just three things: three soups during fall and winter, three tacos during spring and summer.
Italian food from Narrow Gauge Brewing Company
Narrow Gauge Brewing Company is churning out small batches of creamy East Coast–style IPA in the basement of Cugino’s Italian Grill & Bar in Florissant, the only place where it’s available.
Beer-brined chicken from Main & Mill Brewing
Exposed brick and old wood yield a “nostalgia chic” vibe in a renovated vintage space. The menu includes burgers, mac and cheese, soft pretzels and other such fare. Don’t miss the chicken breast that’s marinated in the brewery’s own Green Chile Ale and served on brioche with avocado aioli. Match it with one of Main & Mill’s house-brewed beers.
Sandwiches and steaks from 4204 Main
It’s all big here: a menu ranging from sandwiches to steaks; a beer list of more than a dozen specialties; a space that includes a deck, games area, and dance floor. Expect some culinary surprises, such as a seared salmon fillet bedecked with pumpkin seeds.
Portobello strips from Trailhead Brewing
One of the region’s original micro-breweries (with excellent beer flights), Trailhead remains a popular meeting spot in the heart of old St. Charles. The timber rafters, brick walls, and clever décor make for an inviting atmosphere. The fried portobello strips are a meaty complement to the half-dozen beers, which are half-price during early-evening and late-night happy hours.
