A blog to welcome my I'm-never-coming-back return to St. Louis, complete with non-trained, non-scientific restaurant reviews, cooking adventures, and whatever else comes to mind.

iTAP

It's so cool to be iSOMETHING. At the International Tap House, the is where the cool factor starts and stops. Before making the ill-fated decision to go to El Maguey, we stopped in the iTAP, from a recommendation from you-know-where. We went here because of the extensive beer list-40 on tap and over 500 in the bottle-and wanted to try a brew that neither of us had tried before. We entered, made a quick circle, and left even quicker.
First, they don't serve any food. All we were looking for was a burger to soak up our new discoveries. I knew something was amiss when I saw a giant take-out pizza box on one of the bar tables. Huh? Second, the "ultra-hip lounge area" doubled as a waiting area for the restrooms. Third, and worst of all, this bar looked like it used to be a Subway. It was an end suite of another non-descript stripmall, and was sort-of triangular shaped, with windows on two edges. It was also about that size. SO WEIRD.
If you're city-fied, like myself, West of 270 might as well be that foreign country you think about visiting but once you get there, it's boring and overpriced.
