I still go to my favorite bars, but I mix it up more. Familiarity breeds boredom. The Cloverleaf is quite possibly the finest bar in Saint Louis. No, it does not have the beautiful people like the high class Ritz or the ultra trendy Washington Avenue. It does have the atmosphere that these bars try oh-so hard to create.
Good atmosphere comes naturally.
Atmosphere cannot be created with a dress code, expensive paintings or fancy cocktails. There are variables that go well beyond this. The Cloverleaf is located on the north side of Delmar. This is the line too many people in this city will not cross. The tavern is at the intersection of Finney at the end of Lewis Place in the shadow of Ranken Technical College.
