Heavy Riff Brewing Company

Heavy Riff Brewing Company calls itself Dogtown’s original rock-infused brewery, a St. Louis spot where house beer, barbecue smoked in house and loud music share the stage under the motto “Turn it up, pour it loud.” Its signature brews include Dear Agony and Eat A Peach, and the beer runs from a bourbon-barrel stout to a peach IPA. The kitchen leans on smoked meats and bar snacks, from brisket sliders to crispy pretzel sticks, and the menu aims to suit diners craving comfort food as well as those in an adventurous mood. Guests can settle in inside or out on the patio, with music part of the experience. The tap list is posted online, food can be ordered to go, and the site also lists upcoming events and sells gift cards for the brewery.
