Every year, the Riverfront Times polls its readers about their favorite St. Louis music venues, restaurants, bars, and more. And every year, after the editorial team tallies up the votes, they throw a party to honor the city's finest movers and shakers. Once upon a time, those were iron workers and brewers, but today, many honorees have distinctly modern passions, from DJing to making coffee and pouring it into the Internet. Revelers toast to these beloved locals while enjoying live entertainment from past winners, as well as platters of bites from local eateries.
