Prior to moving to St. Louis, I had only visited a couple times and it was for MARDI GRAS. I knew this was the place for me! St. Louis certainly likes to party and I feel that I fit right in.
St. Patrick’s Day, Mardi Gras, Cardinals’ baseball, random Sunday Funday, there is always a party to be found in the Lou.
My mantra is work hard, play hard. Here is my list of the places I’ve played hard in, lately:
1) Felix’s in Dogtown
6335 Clayton Avenue
St. Louis, MO 63139

Great atmosphere – now non-smoking! Cute bartenders!
2) Friendly’s in South City
3503 Roger Place
St. Louis, MO 63116

3) Joey B’s On The Hill
