I go to one of two places (unless its a group from the office going to Fox N Hound)...

Old Monroe Tavern - has a catfish fillet that is spectactular, I like to chat with the bar maid and sip some JD... I usually meet John, my transmission buddy here...

Hobo's Tavern in St Peters - has a caftish fillet that is spectacular, I like to chat with the bar maid and sip som JD...

BB's Jazz Blues and Soup - St Louis's #1 jazz/blues/music venu, the catfish isn't all that but they do have great wings and other good things on the menu... Great music... Great atmosphere...

My favorite pace to have a sip is sitting on my front porch, Sunday night, listening to KDHX.org sunday evening blues show and watching the sunset/stars... :yes:

I go to bars in hopes that someone will roofie me and take me home [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Ok on a serious note, I rarely go to bars. I rarely drink at home. I usually only drink at some event or when I'm at the river. I use to have a glass or two of wine every night at home, but that changed a few years ago.

Jerry, I don't keep alcohol in the house for me. My taste for cocktails changes like the weather. Brenda, keeps a well stocked bar for herself. If and when we go out, it's usually to a restaurant/bar and I might have 4 or 5 different drinks. So variety works for me. I love dive bars. For me it was shooting pool, throwing darts and drinking watered down tap beer with good friends.
Now a days, I own my own pool table and usually fall asleep before I finish my first drink.

Sounds like everyone's running a little bit different program. I must say, this is all interesting. I need to shoot a documentary about it. :D

Hey Jerry, one important detail I forgot to mention. The older guy I met who builds his own bikes and definitely seemed a little on the wild side; doesn't drink when he goes to bars. For the couple hours I was there, he drank Sprites. At least 3 of them.

Thought that was very interesting.

I always have a pretty good variety of alcohol at my place...I'm just not a big daily drinker. I think it's funny when people see my bar and ask me if I'm an alcoholic...I always reply, alcoholics don't have alcohol in their house. They usually drink it all.

I realized that not drinking daily makes it much easier to keep my girlish figure. So, vanity wins! Lol

I'm not sure either. The food was good and makes me want to go pay them a visit. :eat:

Maybe you caught him as he was winding down. Maybe he got there early...? If not maybe he was just lonely. :D

That's funny!

Isn't beer more of a fat gainer than hard drinks? You look good Eli, you have it figured out. :yes:

Very true. I worked at a grocery store in High School. There was a guy who would come in every day and buy a small bottle of Jack and a couple 20ounce Coors Light cans. After a couple times seeing this, I commented to the cashier that this customer could save a lot of money by buying larger bottles and a case. He replied that the guy was an alcoholic and buying so little was the only way he could control how much he would drink for the night. If he bought more, he'd drink more.

Other then that we will have people over or go to their house. It's a lot easier on the kids and us. I'd say it's more about a change of scenery and friends for us then convenience .
As far as dive bars go I'm not a big fan. I can drink beer out of a can or bottle at home.

Speaking of Dive Bars....Have you ever been to Boomers on Bellflower and Del Amo across from the Taco Bell? They used to have an awesome band play there and you could get a 32oz beer for $6 def a dive bar though.
