We try new restaurants and bars that open around the St. Louis area so we can make meaningful recommendations on where you should go. Here’s where made the cut in August, from a social darts concept to a sprawling estate in the green pastures of Cottleville. \n<\/p>

Big Mouth Sandwich Co.\n\nYou can find the delectable Italian-style sandwiches of Big Mouth Sandwich Co. at both Perennial Artisan Ales and The Mack Bar & Grill in South City, and they\u2019re bringing the kind of flavor\u2011packed dishes that go way beyond typical brewery fare. The garlicky, rich Beef B\u00e8ne is the standout with an Italian cheese blend, aioli, and mild cherry peppers for a pop of freshness \u2013 so good it doesn\u2019t even need the side of au jus served alongside. The beet sandwich is surprisingly satisfying, fresh and hearty with slices of green apple plus golden raisin chimichurri and a creamy burrata-ricotta spread. The grilled cheese feels grown up thanks to a delicious spread of fresh basil-almond pesto. Everything\u2019s piled high, so expect a little chaos; fillings tend to tumble out, but that\u2019s half the fun when you use the house chips to scoop up the extras.\n\n8125 Michigan Ave., St. Louis, perennialbeer.com; 4615 Macklind Ave., St. Louis, 314.832.8199, mackbarandgrill.com Credit:<\/span> photo by Lauren Healey<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>

Flight Club\n\nPart darts bar, part British pub, part carnival, Flight Club is a solid pick next time you\u2019re planning a game night. The 6,250-square-foot space features eight semi-private \u201coches\u201d (that\u2019s dart lingo for gaming area), and several interactive games like Donkey Derby and classic bullseye. Before playing, you\u2019ll snap a selfie so your name and photo show up on screen when it\u2019s your turn to compete. After every win, you get an instant replay video, which is a really fun aspect \u2013 so get your game face on. On our visit, we even joined a spontaneous bullseye contest with players at another board and walked away with a $25 gift card.\n\nThe space is surprisingly comfortable for summer (not overly chilled like so many bars and restaurants) and channels a whimsical, fairground-meets-Victorian-pub vibe. The cocktail list is playful too: We enjoyed the Snapdragon with vodka, lychee, dragonfruit and lime, and the spicy Bee Sting with bourbon, hot honey and apricot. The food menu has a few hits and few misses. Highlights included the chicken skewers over the most incredible mango chutney (which we sopped up with the soft bao buns we also ordered so as not to leave a drop of that amazing yogurt-based sauce left on the plate), and cinnamon-dusted churros with a side of creamy mousse for dessert.\n\n7710 Forsyth Blvd., Clayton, flightclubdartsusa.com\/st-louis Credit:<\/span> photo courtesy of Flight Club<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>

Cottle Village\n\nCottle Village is the kind of multi\u2011concept destination that makes you want to stay awhile. Spread across 4.5 acres in the heart of booming Cottleville, it\u2019s a mix of historic charm and modern hangout: a restaurant and bar set inside a restored house, a separate distillery lounge, an outdoor bar tucked into a converted barn, and a sprawling green space with lawn games, a stage for live music and plenty of room to roam.\n\nThe food and drinks hold up too. Biscuit sliders are like chicken minis leveled up \u2013 buttery, with microgreens and a jalape\u00f1o\u2011tomato jam that tastes like a sweet salsa. The Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak sandwich is one of the best we\u2019ve had in a while. The mac and cheese has French onion soup energy, with baked cheese and rich onion flavor, while the lettuce wraps bring a smoky freshness. For drinks, try the Cappelletti spritz \u2013 like Aperol but a little more bitter \u2013 or the Hot Honey Smash, which comes in hot with ginger and heat, almost like a Kentucky Mule.\n\n6470 Highway N, Cottleville, 636.268.2123, cottlevillage.com Credit:<\/span> photo by Lauren Healey<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>

Sikao Life Chinese BBQ\n\nSikao Life Chinese BBQ is a no-frills Chinese barbecue spot tucked just off the Delmar Loop, part of a growing wave of more authentic Chinese eateries in the area. The menu is extensive and flavorful. Both the beef strips and the pork ribs come intensely seasoned (though a bit dry), the kimchi fried rice is a nice departure from steamed or even standard fried rice, and you can adjust the spice level on every dish to your liking, but even \u201clittle spicy\u201d packs quite a punch. The space is simple, with just enough tables if you\u2019d rather eat in than take it to go. You can order from a QR code at your table, then a server will bring you your food; add as much as you\u2019d like to your tab throughout the meal, then pay at the end. It\u2019s not fancy, but the flavors are on point.\n\n567-A Melville Ave., University City, 314.818.2681, sikaolife.com Credit:<\/span> photo by Lauren Healey<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
