Bar Number 154: Kuchie’s On The Water, Thursday, July 2, 2026
Jim/Karl chose Kuchie’s On The Water for tonight’s destination, a nice choice for a summer evening in Creve Coeur!
They have an outdoor beer garden with lots of tables, but it’s a little too hot for that tonight, so we’ll go inside where hopefully the AC is flowing!
And there’s our co-star of the evening, Jim A.K.A. Karl! Always great to have him along for the night and he’s holding the door to begin this evening’s adventures in Kuchie’s On The Water!
Kuchie’s is known for their “Shipwreck” drinks and they have a whole wall of photos of past Shipwreck creations. Very cool!
As you walk in there’s a sign that says to wait for a hostess to seat you…
But since we’re going to the bar, we didn’t wait and took a seat on this side of the sparkly bar in here!
Kat was the pretty bartender on duty and here she is serving me up an ice-cold can of Busch beer. The perfect start on this blazing hot night!
There’s Jim at the bar striking his patent-pending Karl pose! Cheers!
As you can see, it’s a well-stocked bar and there’s the seven beers on tap behind the bar.
There’s comfortable booths behind the bar and a dining room up in the front.
I love this model of the Delta Queen on display in here!
Local musician, Emily was providing the live music for the evening and she sounded fantastic! You can follow her on facebook by clicking here.
There’s gaming machines over here for all you riverboat gamblers out there.
They have two decks outside that have a beautiful view of the Illinois River!
Meanwhile, back at the bar…
Karl’s dinner has arrived! He got an order of their Lobster Mac and said it was a tasty and delicious treat.
It looks fantastic, but are you like me and kind of sad he didn’t get the French Fried Po-Taters?
I had to get a shot of the Kuchie’s Robot hanging out at the end of the bar!
Thanks to Kat and everyone at Kuchie’s for a fun evening where: “It’s better down where it wetter!”
And thanks to Jim/Karl for driving and co-hosting the episode! Always great to have him along for the evening!
Oh…and Happy 4th of July!

I had three frosty cold cans of Busch Beer, a wonderful way to beat the heat on a hot summer night!
