I would have bought a round or two. We were there last Friday and Sunday. Great food, cold beer, and great staff.
The Beagle is one of my regular hangouts, along with Tony's downtown. The Bonair is absolutely legendary - www.fasteddiesbonair.com
okay... Dan and I went to the Cardinals game with my buddy Andy. Then we headed over the Mississippi River to Illinois to drink at this Fast Eddie's place.. heard it was 'legendary' with good eats and coldest beer anywhere and live music.. etc etc... we walk in before midnight, the band plays the last song, the waitresses are wiping tables, and the place is empty. :-|
hmmmmm...well maybe I'll save the experience for the middle of the day when T has her class. Right after I pay a visit to the Cahokia Mounds.
Legendary from noon til 11 pm or midnight, ordinary at best after midnight. We were there at noon on Sunday and not an empty seat in the bar.
