A Classmate on Where to Celebrate your Birthday

Jack B., M1

St. Louis has so many interesting and scrumptious restaurants, the hardest part about planning your birthday dinner is deciding which one to pick! Here is a list of a few of my personal favorite places to eat at for your special day.

Dressel’s, CWE ($$$)

A Central West End pub with a low-key atmosphere, great mixed drinks, and a phenomenal grilled cheese. It was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, too!

El Burro Loco, CWE ($$) 🔥

Close to campus and popular with WUSM students. Lively Tex-Mex with huge, affordable margaritas, and room for large groups. Plus, they’ll give you a free tequila shot and let you wear one of the sombreros on your birthday!

The Bridge Tap House and Wine Bar, Downtown ($$)

If you’re looking for a slightly more upscale place to celebrate, you’ve found it. The Bridge is a cheese/charcuterie place with a massive wine/beer/cocktail list and seasonal entrees. It’s quality food that doesn’t break the budget for students.
