The beer list features well-known craft brewers on three dozen taps and in 200 bottles; the wine list, though not as lengthy, offers value. The décor, especially the giant bird's-nest light fixtures, is, frankly, awesome.

American craft brewers such as New Belgium, Lagunitas and St. Louis' own O'Fallon and Schlafly dominate the draft selection of nearly 60 taps that range from crisp pale ales to hoppy IPAs to...
