This week is St. Louis Downtown Restaurant Week, so naturally, KMOX host Scott Jagow spent time roaming the area. In this week's Roaming St. Louis segment, he highlights a pair of downtown eateries -- Brick River Cider and Clark & Bourbon.

Brick River has become a top producer of hard cider in the region, with a fun taproom in an old fire house. Clark & Bourbon is gaining a reputation for its extensive collection of whiskeys, fantastic steaks and cool spaces.

Scott speaks with Russ John, owner of Brick River and Steven Hall, executive chef at Clark & Bourbon. More than 30 restaurants are participating this week, offering specials throughout. Learn more here and listen to the interviews below.
