The Scene
If only every club in St. Louis were as inviting and inspired as the Way Out Club, a well of creativity that provides up-and-coming local rock bands with not only a stage and sound system but a jukebox that houses their CDs and a tiny record label that releases them.
The Draw
All over the map--punk rock, improvisational hippie noodling, acid rock, alternative country--and, even if it's not exactly the most practiced and professional-sounding, it will most definitely be passionate. If you're not in the mood for music, you can sit in the front room and play Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, watch a '50s B-movie on the television or talk poetry with owners Bob and Sherri.

The Way Out Club is a great place to have fun. It is small and crowded. The wait to get a drink can be long. But the atmosphere makes up for that. It is like being in the basement of your house when you were a kid listening to music or playing games. The negative side is there is no parking and the neighborhood isn't the greatest. Besides 7-11 everything else is deserted and even though it is pretty safe it doesn't feel that way. Even thought the cons outweigh the pros, I am rating it just above average because I think it is worth checking out.

If there are nightclubs in heaven, (there had damned well better be) they will resemble the Way Out Club. The music here is like the decor, eclectic and full of pleasant surprises. You're likely to hear some original music on any visit, whether from a new band playing out the first time, or a veteran band "coming home". The jukebox runs the gamut from Screamin' Jay to Motorhead with a substantial nod to the local scene. The drink selection varies from mega- to micro- brewers and distillers. Bar service here has the feel that you're among friends, they're not trying to fill your glass and send you on your way but rather they take time to share a few words and catch up with old friends and make new ones.This tries the patience of some, but I wouldn't have it any other way.By the way, they accept credit cards.
