The Best Places to Grab a Bite in Downtown St. Louis
There are many reasons to visit downtown St. Louis. The Gateway Arch, Busch Stadium and Union Station draw in hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Downtown is also a good place to go when you're looking for a restaurant. Whether you want steaks or Italian, traditional American cuisine or just a good Irish pub, you'll find a place for just about every taste in downtown St. Louis.
The Dubliner is one of the newest Irish restaurants in St. Louis, but it is already making a name for itself with a menu featuring fresh, locally grown produce and locally supplied meat. Located on trendy Washington Avenue in downtown St. Louis, the Dubliner is also the "hip" Irish place in town. The place has a spacious loft feel - which is terrific if you're looking for an alternative to the traditional cramped and smokey Irish bar. There's live music on weekends, and always great Irish food, including a unique but delicious Sunday brunch.
