Newstead Tower Public House

Nice looking room with red painted walls and hard wood floors. Beer selection is decent with about 5 Schlafly taps and 5 Boulevard taps along with a few international beers. Food is where this goes downhill. Only 2 main dishes and they are really small. Fish and chips and a burger. I have never left a resturant and been more hungry after i left than when i went in. They do have a monthly beer dinner which is decent but I cannot recomend this place as the beer is just ok and the food is mini and leaves you wanting more.

4/21/08 - Went back after such a positive visit before. I must admit this time around it wasn’t nearly as enjoyable. The same cheese plate was about half the quality and the live music overwhelmed the room. Service was good, not great and I sorely missed the O’Fallon Smoked Porter on draft. Still not bad. I’ll have to give it another try in a couple months. - 2/23/08 - Went there for the first time this February and had a great time. There was a short wait for a table but had the pleasure of scanning all the top-notch balanced selction of local beers on draft it was great to see them showcase the non-Schlafly selctions! The wait staff was very attentive and knew the menu inside and out (even after just a few months of opening). Had the cheese platter to start and the fish and chips. All very nicely done. I would love to go back.
