Just wanted to thank everyone again for the St. Louis information. We had a great time up there and wanted to pass along that we did find some tiki there. After dinner at the wonderful Mt. Everest Cafe we walked a couple blocks to the Pepper Lounge. The back bar is very nice and had a great collection of swank 50's style lamps on all the walls. there must have been 20-30 of them. The overall atmosphere was great until the DJ showed up...just simply did not fit in with the rest of the scene. The bar was perfectly suited for some Dean Martain or even some Denny.

Anyway, the bar serves top shelf martinis that were not bad. They have an extensive list of martinis, many to fancy and seemed more like a dessert. I got to talking to one of the bouncers and he opened up a door that led outside to a small enclosed "alley". They had a nice bamboo finshed bar/stools. The exposed brick walls maintained an number of Bosko masks mounted on bamboo matting. Overall, pretty nice place that is wort a look if close by. The bad news, no tikis and no Polynesian cocktails. Some of the martinis they served were "polynesian influenced" and were not bad.
