While an apartment is a great place to get to know people, there's something to be said for meeting new friends while sharing a cold pint. Few things in life help kickstart lifelong friendships like bellying up to the bar and tossing back a cold one, and for St. Louis-area apartment-ites, The Trainwreck is a perfect candidate to become your watering hole of choice for years to come.

With a

name like The Trainwreck, pub-crawlers expecting high-end martinis or finely-aged bottles of wine may be a tad disappointed. Rather, a greater-than-average selection of draft beer, modestly-priced well drinks and an assortment of chilled shot liquors await the thirsty masses. Over sixteen varieties of ale can be found in the assorted taps, with time-honored brands like Old Grandad, Mr. Boston and Evan Williams leading the liquor selections. Wizened bison heads and an odd assortment of antiques line the walls, making The Trainwreck a must-see for St. Louis-area apartment-ites (at least once).

The food is surprisingly above-average for such a proud dive as the The Trainwreck, and house specialty the Brakeman's Basket is borderline-legendary amongst the locals. Consisting of a heart-poundingly gigantic burger and the 'Wreck's trademark salted fries, you won't be considered a regular until you've tackled this Brakeman at least once. Spiced chili, peppered chicken strips and even crispy fried shrimp are available to help soak up those suds, with the kitchen remaining open until well after midnight for those late night cravings.

St. Louis-area apartment-ites on the hunt for some live music would do well to check The Trainwreck's weekend calendar, which plays host to the best regional rock, punk and blues bands. For added entertainment there are a handful of pool tables provided, and in the summertime the outdoor ring toss competition gets fierce, as locals compete for bragging rights and claim to the title of "lord o' the rings". For St. Louis-area apartment-ites eager for a great night out on the town, this is one Trainwreck you won't mind hopping aboard.
