HAPPY TOGETHER
Fun & Affordable
The Golden Hoosier
You can’t go wrong here, especially from 4-6 p.m. Monday through Friday, when you can order a $6 Blackberry Collins and French onion dip with Red Hot Riplets for $6. The regular menu also includes a classic wedge salad, smash burgers, pork steaks, and a killer gooey peanut butter cake. And The Golden Hoosier’s bar program delivers, with outstanding cocktails, whiskey flights, and a vast beer selection. 3707S. Kingshighway.
Stella Blues
The unpretentious neighborhood watering hole is a wonderfully weird gem in Tower Grove South, where happy hour is from 3:30–7 p.m. daily, with $2 well drinks. Serving meaty kabobs, pork skewers, and, yes, Korean fare, it’s one of those inviting bars for after work or on the weekends. 3269 Morganford.
Broadway Oyster Bar
A little bit of NOLA in STL, BOB serves up traditional Creole cooking using sustainable seafood. Happy hour, from 11 a.m.–4 p.m. Monday through Friday, might be better named “happy all afternoon, ” with an array of drink specials. If you love live music, fresh shucked oysters, and being in the middle of a loud, lively feast, there’s no better option. 736 S. Broadway.
Handlebar
From 4-6 p.m., this Grove hangout offers draft beers and wines by the glass for $2 off and $8 off for wines by the bottle. The pizzas, such as the sweet-and-salty Hawaiian, are half off as well. Those in the know visit on Mondays, when happy hour runs all evening. Fuel up for trivia nights, karaoke, live music, and DJ spins, which happen throughout
