Social House Soulard

(1551 S. 7th Street, 314-241-3023)

Some places are known for their good food or their live music, but the Social House brand is known for its painted ladies. The employees here are usually decked out in body paint and not much else — and that's the way the customers like it.

Kobe Steakhouse of Japan

(645 Westport Plaza Drive, Maryland Heights; 314-469-3900)

For a real tableside thrill, hit up Kobe Steakhouse of Japan, where chefs cook the food right in front of you on a flat grill with lots of fire, providing a real show. The teppanyaki-style cooking will thrill you and have you looking for the emergency exits.

W Karaoke Lounge

(6655 Delmar Boulevard, University City; 314-376-4055)

This fancy Asian-style karaoke place is more club than restaurant, but there are still plenty of food items to piece together a full dinner and make a night of it. Fill up on potstickers, edamame and chicken wings and then tip back a few cocktails before jumping into Roxy Music's "More Than This." You'll be a legend.

Sharpshooter Pit & Grill

(8135 Gravois Road, 314-353-4745)

For BBQ with a side of shooting range, hit up Sharpshooter Pit & Grill. Here you can eat a smoked brisket sandwich and take some shots at the region's largest indoor shooting range — practically at the same time. Hello, Americuhhh!

Westport Social

(910 Westport Plaza Drive, Maryland Heights; 314-548-2876)

For grown-up dinner and games (Dave & Busters is cool, but rugrats can cramp your style), drop into Westport Social where the huge room is full of games and activities, including shuffleboard, basketball and karaoke.

BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups

(700 S. Broadway, 314-436-5222)

Entertainment is always part of the experience at BB's. It hosts a band on its stage every single night so you're sure to get a great show with your (totally great) dinner.

The Boathouse at Forest Park

(6101 Government Drive, 314-366-1555)

The newly revamped Boathouse in Forest Park is the place to be this summer. The food is fab (the restaurant is run by the people from Sugarfire Smoke House) and it's a great spot to take in a sunset or just watch people on the water in kayaks and paddle boats.

Skyline Dinner Cruise

(50 S. Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard, 877-982-1410)

For dinner with the best view in town, reserve yourself a spot on one of these riverboats. The boat cruises the Mississippi River while you enjoy a dinner buffet. The boat cruises the big muddy for two hours, giving you plenty of time to eat and then maybe do a little bit of smooching on the top deck.

Wudon

(1261 Castillions Arcade Plaza, 314-628-1010)

If you like your food on fire, check out Wudon where they'll grill it right in front of you, thrilling your whole table. Korean barbecue provides that special sizzle and smell that will make any meat-lover go nuts.
