Description

Around 1 p.m. on any given weekday, there are approximately 90 men and two women having lunch at DB's. Since this bar calls a self-effacing little brick building on a stretch of throwaway, near-abandoned street home -- meaning most patrons consider DB's a dining destination -- this ranks as a small phenomenon. But DB's gives its clientele what it wants. A TV set in every corner blares 24-hour sports programming, while waitresses swan around in teeny T's or outfits that require multiple modifiers: itsy-bitsy, neon-pink, strapless, Lycra. Weekend nights find DB's with a boisterous crowd and the ladies clad in naught but lacy underthings—it's as close as you'll get to a skin show on this side of the river. The menu is mostly straight-up bar food -- including DB's Famous, an open-faced sandwich made with melted Provel and ham atop French bread that's actually quite tasty. Surprisingly, there's also a touch of the down-home, thanks to daily, blue-plate-style specials like meat loaf, lasagna or roast beef. What, no breast of chicken?

    Distractions are what you're looking for when dining solo. Either that or newfound company. Have it both ways at DB's. As at any sports bar worth its salt, TV sets aplenty broadcast the game (or the endless armchair commentary when the game hasn't started yet). There's another notable diversion at DB's -- or we should say, there are pairs of them, affixed at the chest to the well-tanned waitresses sporting teeny T-shirts -- that we might feel ashamed to mention here if they didn't damn near...

  • 2003 | Best Use of the Worst Cheese

    Sometimes two wrongs make a right. Sometimes three wrongs do. The latter is the case with the Famous Gerber. Wrong No. 1: Its main ingredient is Provel "cheese." Wrong No. 2: Served on French bread and topped with a melted portion of said "cheese" (the ham hides underneath), it's got this off-putting, uniform whiteness to it. Wrong No. 3: It is served in a sports bar by a woman wearing very revealing, hoping-for-a-job-at-Hooters clothing. So many wrongs, and yet...right on! Whether it's the... More »

  • 2003 | Best Sports Bar

    The purest gauge of a sports bar's efficacy can be expressed thusly: "Can I get my game on" If you can't, it probably means one of three things: 1) the sports bar doesn't have enough TV sets; 2) the waitstaff is inadequately trained or unwilling to navigate the satellite dish; or 3) the Cardinals, Blues or Rams are playing on all six sets, and switching just one to another game is non-negotiable. (This last, sad to say, is true of 95 percent of the bars in the St. Louis metropolitan area.)... More »
