<\/a>\u00a0 I always feel this way after a Dining Divas outing.\u00a0 The restaurant may be typical but the Dining Divas are spectacular.\u00a0 It\u2019s not the place or the food.\u00a0 It\u2019s the group.\u00a0 This month was no exception.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Our restaurant of choice was the Market Pub House on Delmar in University City.\u00a0 Upon arrival, we were excited to see the friendly bartender proudly wearing a smile and his St. Louis Blues hat.\u00a0 He had plenty of good suggestions regarding the menu and the restaurant and didn\u2019t show an ounce of bitterness that his beloved Blues still weren\u2019t playing hockey.\u00a0 That shows class in this Diva\u2019s book.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Market Pub House is your typical sports bar.\u00a0 Lots of TV monitors.\u00a0 Lots of sports memorabilia.\u00a0 And being in University City, lots of diverse people.\u00a0 That\u2019s what I love about that area.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We envied the Destination Diva as she shared with us her adventures in Tuscany.\u00a0 We weren\u2019t surprised to hear that she had vacationed in the villa made famous in the romantic-comedy Under the Tuscan Sun<\/em>.\u00a0 She always travels to extravagant places.\u00a0 Plus, she\u2019d also visited Florida and New York.\u00a0 Still without power, we were happy to hear her east coast family was safe, even though Hurricane Sandy devastated the area.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
We laughed as we talked about the Extravagant Diva and her \u201ccolorful\u201d attire, even when on a relaxing weekend at the Lake.\u00a0 We joked as we spoke of the M.I.A. Diva who has become the ultimate last minute cancellation.\u00a0 For months, we\u2019ve made sure our dinner location was convenient for her, only to have her not make it.\u00a0 We debated, only briefly, over politics and quickly realized it was not proper dinner conversation.\u00a0 We discussed future Diva restaurants and realized there are many places out there we\u2019re excited to try out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because patience isn\u2019t prominent with this group, we ordered appetizers upon arrival to calm our appetites.\u00a0 The house made hummus seemed like a healthy option until it was served with flash fried flatbread.\u00a0 It was so delicious and so bad for us.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We also tried the extra creamy spinach and artichoke dip.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t help that it too was served with the flatbread.\u00a0 By the time we were done with our appetizers, our stomachs were full, and our arteries were clogged.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our waitress convinced every one of us to try the Steak Special that night.\u00a0 Their 8-ounce sirloin steak is only $8 on Thursday nights (or you can get the 10 ounce for $10).\u00a0 Brushed with garlic butter and served with that night\u2019s featured side, it was quite the deal.\u00a0 The Lone Diva decided against the special and tried the Beer Battered Fish and Chips.\u00a0 The cod was light and delicious, and the addition of jalapeno hush puppies completed the meal.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Market Pub House has an extensive menu of burgers, wraps, and award winning wings along with a few entrees, including the Memphis Style BBQ Mac and Cheese\u2026a must try the next time we visit.\u00a0 It\u2019s a sports bar, and even though it may not stand out as a Diva favorite, it definitely embraces the diversity of the area with ease.\u00a0 It\u2019s a pub with good grub and a great place to watch a game.\u00a0 Blues Hockey preferred.<\/p>\n
