I've done a search and could not find any. I've been here in St Louis for about a week and have only went out a few times.
Anyone have any insight on some of the bars.
So far it's been a mix of good looking to unattractive girls on Main Street in St. Charles(close to where I'm staying). I got a few numbers down there last night that I'm going to follow up with in a few days.
Thanks
I used to live in St Louis, but it was about 15 years ago, with some periodic visits since then. You can google all these places to get the most current information. I guess you could call this my first data sheet!
1) Delmar Loop in University City is where a lot of the avant-garde, artsy types go... you will bump into a few Wash U students. Be sure to check out Vintage Vinyl, Blueberry Hill (best burgers in STL, according to some publications), Brandt's, and Fitz, all with in walking distance of each other. It's not a heavy duty nightlife spot. Best bet for pickup I know is by the dartboards in Blueberry Hill, but I am sure there are better picks to meet women now.
2) Sauget, IL, where there are many strip clubs, night clubs, etc. Sauget's a seedy area, but most of the best late night clubs are in the STL area were (and probably still are) there. Supposedly the bar called "Pop's" was a place you could finding some easy broads at 2 to 3 am, around closing time. They may be skanky though...you have been warned! Endgame logistics can be a pain though, as the area as shitty and industrial, with no good hotels nearby.
3) Laclede's Landing has some live music venues, but the music is too loud to really meet anyone. Pain in the ass to get there too, and paid parking on the cobblestone riverfront, and long lines to get in the venues. Mississippi Nights was the name of the place I remember. Might still be there. The Lumière casino hotel is nearby, but it is not that great, as I mention below.
4) Some restaurant bars are around SLU (Harpo's and Syberg's), but I never enjoyed those much...but you might enjoy them. Most girls you run into are probably in the SLU dorms, as living off campus is not much an option (shitty neighborhood),
5) The casinos around St Charles and Earth City have some night clubs in them. I like the Ameristar best. If you are based in St Charles, I would focus on that area. If you get a room in their hotel (Ameristar or Harrah's), they are probably the best bet for getting ass---excellent logistics! Lumière and Casino Queen in downtown area suck, IMHO.
6) There is a local chain of bars called "Hot Shots" that is a get-a-bucket-of-beer-and-throw-darts place. Usually some decent college age girls in there on weekends.
7) Central West End (not far from the Delmar Loop, mentioned above) was originally a gay district, but is now "mixed". Honestly I found it a good venue to meet girls, because the bitch shields were down somewhat. Lots of coffee shops, bars, etc.
8) If strip clubs are your scene, they are all in IL, and....they are actually pretty decent on the raunchy scale, nationwide. The best one was Roxy's, in Brooklyn, IL. Really, really seedy area. You will understand why St Louis is one of the nation's most dangerous cities going there. But they have security guards in the parking lot. But the live shower setup they have with chicks fingerbanging each other and eating each other out is a sight to see.
Check out the
http://www.riverfronttimes.com website...that is another good source for nightlife. It's an independent publication that is not censored too much.
Enjoy St Louis!
