Discover Restaurants offering the best Bar food in Jefferson City, Missouri, United States. The Missouri State Capitol dominates a bluff overlooking the Missouri River and the bronze statue atop its 238 foot-high dome is the first thing that comes into view for visitors of Jefferson City. The same bluff was one of the first sites passed by Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition, and the city is close to both the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and KATY Trail State Park. The city is also home to the imposing Missouri State Penitentiary, the “bloodiest 47 acres in America.”

10. Big Whiskey's American Restaurant & Bar - Jefferson City
Traditions starting daily.... coming October 2019!
Reviewed By RichmondHill59
Evidently this is Springfield's idea of what Applebee's should be, with a sprinkle of manufactured personality in the form of an unimaginative story about a fictional legend called Big Whiskey. Happy hour half-price beer was great, other happy hour specials looked OK. Salmon was dry as a bone with an ordinary whiskey sauce; vegetable and mashed potatoes were suitable to good. Pasta with shrimp was a little short on sauce, but pasta was perfectly al dente. Prices overall appear to be on par with similar chains. The original wood floors in this wonderfully rehabbed old industrial building make it worth a trip.

I took a teenage friend to Theo's for lunch. They don't serve burgers. I've never eaten at a restaurant with him where he didn't order a burger. While disappointed, he did read through the menu and selected the boneless Buffalo chicken wings. While it was an appetizer - which he didn't share - he couldn't finish them, so he asked for a to-go-box.I always order the meat ball sandwich. It also requires a to-go-box. The food is great here. However, the wrought iron furniture dragging on the tile floors means all conversation will be halted as adjoining tables are seated or depart.
8. Water Tower Bar
Reviewed By Rick B
Good burgers. Great wait staff. This is a good place for a nice quick lunch. Simple menu, but creative. Try the Tower fries. They are lightly breaded fries loaded with flavor. Lots of TV's to keep up with sports, plus there are two coin operated pool tables in the second seating area. They can handle large groups ... lot's of seating.

This is a Sports Bar with multiple TVs but not very noisy early evening. We had a great waitress who gave us wonderful service. The menu had many choices so it was hard to choose. Our food was served hot and very tasty,

An old internet listing notes clam chowder as a specialty, but it is outdated, as are the prices on that menu. However, Viet's has great American food, with a buffet with something for just about anybody who likes fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and some good ol' iceberg lettuce on which to build a salad. The also have good from-the-menu grub, including the breaded tenderloin, which I got by accident although I ordered a grilled tenderloin. The one I was served was delicious. Service is good and prices reasonable. I hear you can even eat there on Thanksgiving! With reservations, of course.

Love the peanuts. They have the best fried pickles in the area. You also get these hot yeast rolls that melt in your mouth. Good service and friendly wait staff

Itâs cute restaurant with a prison theme. I was super impressed with the food though. Artichoke dip, a club sandwich and green bean fries. The green beans fries were very greasy. The rest was average... not bad but nothing to write home about. I guess people love it because of the atmosphere.

Paddy Malones has a genuine Irish spirit in the heart or Jeff City. Visiting for a couple months and finally got around to stopping by. Was greeted with big smiles and Irish folk music. Guinness on tap while we waited. We were seated on the porch out back in a few minutes. We ordered the fried mushrooms, onion rings, and sweet potatoes fries as appetizers. There were 6 of us and we were so full, we never ordered dinner. The mushrooms are portabella sliced in half. Huge! Great time. Highly recommended pub scene.
