Like other attractions in Excelsior Springs, a step into the Atlas Saloon is a step back in history to a time when establishments like this were “tied” directly to the breweries that produced the elixirs behind the bar.

DEPARTMENTS
TASTE OF MISSOURI
THE HAWTHORNE INN
Labadie
Tucked into the rolling hills of Missouri’s wine country, The Hawthorne Inn restaurant makes the journey worthwhile. Since its humble beginnings 28 years ago, regular customers have traveled from the surrounding area and St. Louis, about an hour’s drive away. While staying in Augusta, my husband and I navigated winding country backroads laced with wineries to try out the extensive menu and enjoy the laidback vibe.

PLACES TO STAY
BOONE'S COLONIAL INN
St. Charles
Williamsburg, Virginia isn’t the only place to dip into Colonial America. Hugging the Missouri River, St. Charles served as Missouri’s first state capital in the early 1800s. Here, Daniel Boone strolled its brick streets, Lewis and Clark launched their renowned journey and the drama of the Louisiana Purchase played out. Reflecting this notable era is the luxurious Boone’s Colonial Inn.

OFF THE BEATEN PATH
by JOHN ROBINSON
Johnnie’s Bar has been serving whiskey in downtown St. James since the Irish laborers built the railroad through here. Even from the outside, Johnnie’s looks foreboding, with its big neon Stag Beer sign over a doorway into cold, smoky darkness. It’s the kind of place that makes you hear your mother’s voice: “I better never catch you going in there.”
“Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll never go in there.”
