Unless consuming marshmallows, string cheese, or other library-friendly foods, the inevitable slurps and chomps of dining can easily sour a meal. Dilute appetite-suppressing sounds with today's side deal: for $5, you get $20 worth of burgers, wings, pizzas, and beer at O'Aces Sports Bar & Grill. The energetic eatery, located just south of the city in Imperial, has more than 35 big-screen televisions and live music to drown out distracting chewing noises.

Finger-friendly foods abound here: from Side Pocket Potato Skins (dolled up with bacon bits, cheddar cheese, and sour cream, $6.99) to fried cheese sticks ($6.99), the extensive list of grabbable grub stretches on longer than a sloth-baseball double-header. For heartier bites, the Hall of Fame Burgers ($7.99) are all made from a half pound of Kobe beef and served on a Kaiser roll with lettuce, pickle, and fries. A small selection of salads and sides appeases those in search of a lighter bite. O'Aces features weekly drink specials as well as pool tables, dart boards, foosball, arcade games, and a sports-themed mural dedicated to St. Louis sports. Enjoy live music every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, or showcase your own vocal dexterity on Karaoke Thursdays.
