“Had a BLAST at karaoke last night. Eclectic dive bar and diverse clientele. Today, the morning after, everyone in our group raved about how nice and friendly the staff and patrons were. We weren’t sure about the tavern when we walked in. Within a few minutes, we were like “oh, yeah, this place is vibing.” People seemed to know each other, while also being welcoming to our family of 12. Thank you, Eastside Tavern, for the fun memory.“

“Top Ten Wines isn’t just a store it’s a space where wine becomes personal. It’s where you discover your new favorite bottle, meet someone with a shared taste or bring your entire group of friends, or learn something you didn’t expect. The experience is elegant, grounded, and truly joyful.

Whether you’re stocking your cellar, grabbing a last minute hostess gift, or looking for the perfect wine to pair with dinner, you’ll walk out of Top Ten not just with a bottle but with confidence.

What I love most is that Top Ten consistently carries a well-curated selection of Spanish wines.“

“Chris Mc D's has the best gourmet food in Mid-Missouri...or maybe anywhere. On a recent visit, we met our server, Joe. He was so knowledgeable about the food and how it was cooked, that I ,wondered if he had been standing elbow-to-elbow with the CHEF, who has my highest regards. Joe explained to us how all the seafood is FLOWN IN fresh. This speaks very highly both of Chris Mc D's and Joe, who knew and cared to share this information with us. A solid 5 stars for this restaurant!“

“What a wonderful find. I stumbled on this bar in the lower level of The Tiger hotel. It has an upscale speakeasy feel, but with no password or invitation required. The cocktails were great and the bartenders were up to the challenge of making unique drinks. Can not wait to visit again.“
