Guys like Luke frequent those places.
I'm way too highbrow for that place. Morgan St for me.
Almost positive I was at a place called Morgan St. When to a place called Mc something too. Basically it was :

1.Mc something or another with some cool people.
2.Can't remember what happened here.
3.Place where the bartenders wore thongs
4.Outdoor place with the fire pit with cool Cardinal fans.

before the Social Club. I liked all 4, the last being my favorite just because we met some cool people.

When we came back, the other 9 guys we were with were nowhere to be found and we couldn't find a taxi. So we wonder around and we ran into some people that said the Social Club was open until 3 and there were cabs. So we went. First bad sign ... a line to get in. Second bad sign ... cover charge. Third bad sign ... music/people etc... I can't believe we even got a beer, my friend was already aggravated and almost got into a fight and basically forced his way up to the bar and got us one. We drink one, and it's time to go. We go back to the entrance where nobody is in line now, and the douchebag says we can't leave there we have to exit about 20 feet down. I look at him and say "Are you [expletive] kidding me, it will take 10 minutes to fight through that 20 feet to get to that door?" I mean the [expletive] door is open ... just step aside and let us walk out. [expletive] douche wouldn't let us just walk out the door. Had to fight through the crowd to get to the exit.

What street is that Social Club on? It seemed like a main artery I should know.
It's on S 7th St though people confuse it with S Broadway b/c as you head S on Broadway you end up on S 7th and if you keep going you're back on Broadway.

You know [expletive] I had a thread of what to do in St. Louis ... you could have also included a few things NOT to do.

We are in complete agreement on the Social Club. That was just stupid horrible.

That helped. But we all decided it's better than Chicago. We were talking about where to have our next drunken weekend, and St. Louis was the unanimous pick. Yes Chicago is bigger and has more to offer, but at a price. Not only literally, but it's just so much more to navigate that St. Louis. St. Louis is a great compromise, much cheaper and easier to navigate with still plenty of things to do. It's the midwestern value leader in drunken debauchery.

Yeah, Chicago would be an expensive pain in the ass for such a weekend.
