Yesterday, at Schlafly Tap Room, I did just that. My excuse is that I didn't read the menu as closely as I should have. I don't read well anyway, and it was late on what had been a long, difficult Monday--a manic Monday, if you will. I wished it was still Sunday. I'd just run five miles with a group that meets once a month, on the third Monday. But they alternate between here and another location, so they're not here that often, and after last night, they might not be back. Also, they might not offer a burger that comes on a regular bun. I know they have a few sandwiches that come on hoagie rolls or toast. If they just happened to a random, lone hamburger bun in the back for some reason, perhaps for emergencies, it would have been easy enough to ask them to use that instead. Their Tap Room Burger, or whatever they're calling it, is a decent-size sandwich. It just seems small because the English muffin they use isn't any bigger than one you'd get with, say, an Egg McMuffin. But the meat is nice and thick (ayo) and hangs out over the side of the, erm, bread a little bit. It's a shockingly high quality beef, better than on the last several steaks I've eaten, for what it's worth. They actually asked how I'd like it cooked. I requested medium, and would you believe they actually cooked it medium? I order a steak mid-rare, but I find that a burger benefits from just a bit more time on the grill. I'm no savage. It comes with a weird shredded lettuce (possibly a KFC Shredder) that doesn't contribute any value and a mild, melty white cheddar that's really good and really complements the beef. Clearly, the idea is for the meat to be the dominant flavor. The English muffin is neither very good nor very bad, as far as these things go. It's just a regular ol' English muffin, like you might find in a grocery store. It would have been better if it were toasted (or toasted more?) and buttered, but the butter in particular might have overpowered the subtle flavor of the beef. I suppose that if they only had one guy who knew what he was doing, it was for the best that they had him working the kitchen. The guy they had taking orders was out of his depth. You'd think that this was his first day, except he had all of these weird systems. He was very adamant that no one switch seats, like in a certain kind of fire drill, lest he get the orders mixed up. Which was very thoughtful of him, I guess, but the way he said it was like we'd done something wrong, or were in jail. He tried to count how many people wanted water (in a group of people who just ran five miles in 80-degree weather), lost count, then asked, by show of hands, who *didn't* want water. He accidentally brought an extra beer and then, instead of just leaving it for someone to drink, let us know he was gonna go pour it down a drain. LOL what a spazz. It's tragic, because this is a fairly easygoing group. All of the really crazy people I know are in another group I run with. He didn't screw anything up that badly, but he would have been better off if he did and he had a more likable personality. Hopefully, he took that extra beer in the back and drank it himself. That may have been what he needed.

Good thing Square One Brewery & Distillery was literally a block from where I was staying. I ate dinner there Saturday. Then went back for brunch Sunday. Part convenience, part damn good food. Folks, they have a smashburger made with bratwurst and Angus beef, topped with cheddar and bacon. (I subbed Swiss, and slathered that thing with Pale Ale Mustard and ... Holy Sammich, Batman!) Add perfectly executed (and perfectly salted), piping-hot fries and I was a very happy traveler. I also loved the neighborhood vibe. It's sort of the St. Louis version of "Cheers" -- friendly, relaxed and clearly a place where people know each other. And the spacious patio has just enough shade that you can actually enjoy being outside without slowly roasting yourself. I can't wait to try whatever else is on the menu when I inevitably find myself back near Lafayette Square in the Lou.

Street parking is almost always available near the brewery or across the street by the Lafayette Square fountain. Although a brewery, they also have a full bar when you walk in with a gorgeous arch window behind. You can grab a drink while you wait for your table. Their Strawberry Fields cocktail is really good! (Strawberry Basil infused Regatta Bay Gin, St. Elder, lemon, orange bitters, club) In this case, we went for brunch! We sat on their patio and ordered Mimosas and a Bloody Mary to drink. For food, we enjoyed omelets and pancakes. The pancakes were huge! I liked that the Seafood Omelet had hollandaise sauce on top. This is a big space and you can through a glass wall in the main dining area where they brew the beer which is neat! I recommend ordering a beer flight if it's your first time here so you can try a variety of their brews. Usually the flight includes your choice of four beer selections. Service here isn't anything exceptional but nothing bad either. Expect to wait a bit if coming for brunch Saturday or Sunday.

First of all the cocktails are wonderful. I'm an old fashioned girlie and their version did not let me down. My friends got some different, more unique drinks though that were really inventive and the sip I had of one of them confirmed that they do taste as good as they look. The lobster roll doughnut I had was really fun, and I'd definitely try it again, though I think sharing it with a friend along with a big side order of their fries might be the winning move here. I don't live in STL so not sure when I'll be back but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spot to others as it really is a little gem of a restaurant.

I got the Chillwave (kentucky bourbon, san luigi garden amaro, blood orange, fig leaf, cappelletti, lemon) and it was OK, not quite as good as it sounded but solid. For starters we got whipped ricotta (seasonal fruit, serrano ham, balsamic, grilled bread) which was AMAZING and I highly recommend. We also got chicken thigh skewers, but let's just say no one was meeting their macros with these tiny, tiny little skewers we ended up with. I was starving and ended up with the fish and chips and they were so good. Very unique and memorable, especially the salt & vinegar fries and remoulade. The fish was super crispy and flavorful. All in all, I'm a fan. I continue to find good spots to eat in STL and this joins that ever growing list!

But guess what we enjoyed our table conversations while the drinks were routinely refreshed and when the food arrived it was perfect.
