Description

Benjamin Dressel has expanded his parents' namesake pub, but he hasn't messed with the ambiance that has made it a Central West End institution for three decades. The revamped menu brings Dressel's more in line with the gastropub trend, with such dishes as duck confit served with a potato cake studded with bacon and scallions and shepherd's pie with braised lamb topped with a potato-turnip purée. Old favorites like the fish and chips and the house-made Bavarian potato chips remain. The latter, with a side order of Dressel's incredible rarebit sauce and a pint of O'Fallon cask-conditioned ale, is terrific snack and a powerful curative.

  • 2009 | Best Pretzel

    The pretzel at Dressel's is hot. Like, steam-engine hot. You have to wait for it to cool. Which, frankly, is good discipline. After all, good things come to those who wait -- consider the properly poured Guinness. While you wait, consider the medieval history of the pretzel, its dubious origins as a monastic invention or an Alsatian Lenten compromise. Consider that the pretzel bread before you is not the traditional Germanic three-hole twist but rather two coiled lengths of bread... More »

  • 2005 | Best Burger

    The only reason every burger aficionado in the bi-state area isn't lined up outside Dressel's is because, well, most folks don't equate "Welsh pub" with "perfect hamburger." But we know the truth, and it's killing us to keep the secret. So if you know what's good for you, you'll head Dresselward the next time the carnivorous craving kicks in. Start off with a nice beer -- a Double Dragon Bitter Ale, perhaps, or a Fuller's London Porter. Order a basket of homemade potato chips (and don't... More »

  • 2004 | Best Rarebit

    This city's approaching another fall, which is just a short interlude before a cold, daylight-deprived winter. Pools are already closed, open-toed shoes a no-no. As pleasantly cool evenings give way to brisk ones and six o'clock begins to look like midnight, it's hard to get motivated to do much of anything, let alone cook. But here's a rare bit of good news: There's a perfect wintertime snack that will warm you inside and out, and it involves beer and cheese. Interested Thought so. This... More »

  • 2002 | Best Bartender

    We have little regard for those friendly "how's it goin', Joe, what can I do for ya" sorts of bartenders. Give us someone enigmatic to mix our drinks, keep us guessing and make us feel even a little bit unsure. Someone who reminds us that if we're looking for solace in a bar, we should be giving our lives some serious, sober thought.John Berg stands, rail-thin, behind the bar at Dressel's. His shock of white hair and long mustache invite caricature. His voice rises from some depth, we... More »

    Cute Irish pub, very small place and somewhat pricey. They do have Strongbow on tap, which is a plus for me.
