Urban Chestnut Grove Brewery & Bierhall

St Louis


Just a couple of blocks from Forest Park in The Grove, this brewery has a venue that feels like Germany. Among the many classic European-style beers brewed here is the Zwickel Bavarian–style lager, which is pure unfiltered pleasure. The creative kitchen (mains $9 to $16) offers up all manner of meaty mains, oysters and beer-absorbing sides.
