Best Public Restroom
Award Winner 2008

Features: Smoking

Description

CBGB is low-lit word-of-mouth rock dive and a South Grand staple. The spacious patio out front is one of the best people watching places in the city and inside, the eclectic mix of south city musicians, hipsters and neighborhood barflies migles about playing shuffle board, pinball and just soaking in the always smart and adventurous selection of music played by the bartenders on duty. The tiny dive even hosts local and touring bands from time to time for free shows.

2008 | Best Public Restroom

You don't expect much in the way of bathroom cleanliness from a bar where the front doorknob is held in place with duct tape.

You might be just a little taken aback, however, when you find that instead of a single toilet or stalls, the graffiti-covered bathroom holds two toilets facing each other, separated by a mere card table. We ladies do like to go to the restroom together. And look: there's an... More »
2006 | Best Underground Club

How underground of a club is CBGB They don't have a MySpace profile. They don't have a Friendster account. They don't have a Web site. Hell, they don't even have a phone number. News of shows spreads via word-of-mouth (or by showing up to inquire what's going on). It's so 1995 -- in the best, photocopied-zine sort of way. Locals (faves include Sex Robots and Bunnygrunt) and out-of-town bands alike prowl the stage, the back wall of which happens to be CBGB's front window. Even on a Monday th... More »
2003 | Best Place to Play Pinball

From the multi-machine majesty of Dave and Buster's to the simplicity of the corner coffee shop, there are many places in St. Louis to play pinball. So what makes CBGB, a smallish bar with one lone machine, the best place to play One word: atmosphere. On any night but Sunday aspiring wizards and seasoned ballers alike can enjoy a game for 25 cents a pop while drinking on the cheap and listening to a wonderfully eclectic and varied music selection (anything from Sun Ra and Coltrane to David...

Small, fun bar on South Grand, and you've gotta love the Light Bright! They don't really get going until right before they close, but their beer is cheap and they're a quick walk to/from many other bars in the area!
