Cocktails
Frisco Margarita
2 oz silver Tequila / 1 oz triple sec / 0.5 oz Lime Juice / 0.5 oz simple syrup / Salted Rim / Top with Fresca Garnish: Lime Wheel
Paying homage to the St. Louis-San Francisco line for which the Frisco building (the very building in which you’re sitting!) is named.
Soulard Sidecar
2 oz Hendrick’s Gin / 1 oz St. Germain / Grapefruit Juice / Garnish: N/A
A Parisian cocktail for an old French neighborhood, this sidecar has a punch of citrus to help you give us your undivided attention. Oui! Oui!
The Loop Trolley
1 oz Coconut Rum / 1 oz Spiced Rum / Pineapple Juice / 0.5 oz Lime Juice / Grenadine / Garnish: Lime Wheel
A throwback drink for a streetcar that time forgot… then Joe Edwards remembered… then Joe decided to forget again because the city begged him to forget it because it caused too much traffic and because bike wheels got caught in its tracks. You know, that kind of drink!
The Hill
3 oz Prosecco / 3 oz Aperol / Top with Sparkling Water / Garnish: Slice of Orange
A new take on a Spritz Veneziano for a historically Italian neighborhood filled with historically delicious food. If this drink makes you crave lunch on the Hill, we’re all about it, just say the word.
The Central West End
2 oz Gin / 1 oz Grapefruit Juice / 0.5 oz Creme Violette / 0.25 oz Simple Syrup / Top with Brut Champagne / Garnish: Lemon Twist or Grapefruit Twist
A brooding purple cocktail for a neighborhood that begat some of St. Louis’ most famous writers like; William Burroughs, T.S. Eliot, Tennessee Williams, and Kate Chopin.
Olive Street Martini
3 oz Vodka / Coat glass with Dry Vermouth / Garnish: Olive
A classic, sophisticated cocktail befitting this street’s glow-up from “North C” to Olive.
Lunch
Pho Long
Asian / Vietnamese
It’s kind of a big deal. A quick drive to the South Grand neighborhood and we can be sitting with a heaping bowl of Vietnamese Pho that puts most other soups to shame. It’s all about the slow-cooked broth…and fresh sweet basil…and razor-thin strips of beef… droooooool.
Broadway Oyster Bar
Seafood
The only place in STL you can grab a bucket of crawfish with a side of Zydeco. Nothing in the city quite connects us to New Orleans like B.O.B. (except the Mississippi River, of course). Consistently voted best cajun, best creole, best patio, best live music venue, best place to day drink, and so on, there is officially no further reason to read on. Let’s jump in the car.
Rosalita’s Cantina
Tex-Mex
Sure, the place with the donkey is just across the street, but for a little extra effort we can get tableside guac with our margaritas.
Bogart’s Smokehouse
BBQ
Another great BBQ option, if you’re up for a little ride – Bogart’s Smokehouse in Soulard has a killer pulled pork, and deviled egg potato salad.
Blues City Deli
Deli
Open for work week lunch Tuesday through Friday – there will be a line, it will move fast, and you will leave with one of the best sandwiches in St. Louis. They’re known for their piled-high Muffuleta, but the Panino Fresco (fresh cheese and olive tapenade) will change your whole perspective on things.
Medina Grill
Mediterranean
Mediterranean for the masses, but…actually done well. The Original Palestine (beef or chicken shawarma) is so good we keep forgetting to try other things off the menu.
Schlafly Tap Room
American / Pub
For those who like to both drink and eat their lunch. Bavarian pretzels, pork rinds, and poutine…you know, all the proper pub grub. Let’s call ahead and see what’s on tap!
Salt & Smoke
BBQ
Known for BBQ, Bourbon and beer, Salt & Smoke is a great addition to any neighborhood, and a brilliant addition to your Sprint day. Our recommendation: the answer is simple – burnt end toasted ravioli.
Pizza Head
Italian / Vegetarian
Another South Grand marvel, Pizza Head serves 20”, NYC-style pies, but the kicker? It’s all vegetarian, even the “pepperoni”. If there’s a veg-head in your party, but not all of you forego the animal protein, then this is the place (because if we hadn’t called out the lack of meat, you’d be none the wiser).
