Yet Another Michigan Bar Locator Post - St. Louis edition
Does anyone know of a place in St. Louis that alumni tend to watch games? Checked the old Michigan Bar Locator Post, and that seems to be pretty quiet these days. I checked with the alumni club and managed to find a place they used to meet up at, but they don’t seem to be very active with watch parties (COVID maybe). A little surprised it’s been tough to find a Michigan bar in a city this size, but there doesn’t seem to be much space for more than the Cardinals and Blues here. Any ideas?

Chingy once told me the bar at the Holidae Inn in St. Louis was hopping. Nelly said it was off exit 106

Found this online. Not sure if it's up to date or not.

I believe it is still Lesters on Clayton Rd. Was last there for the 2019 OSU game and it was all maize and blue.

Thanks! That's the place we found on the alumni club page, so we'll check there first. Good to know there was a good group of fans last time, at least.

Same question, but for Charlotte, NC. Recently moved just northeast of Charlotte and have to stream the game today through my phone

Awesome! I’m in Winston Salem. Are you in the Concord area? Freaking LOVE NC. Moved here from West Palm Beach, FL and hope I die in NC.
As far as a place to watch the game in Charlotte, can’t be of much help there.

Yeah I’m in Kannapolis currently. Relocated for work and I’m staying with a buddy of mine while my house in Michigan closes and we get situated in a home in Kannapolis/Concord

Enjoy the winter. You will laugh at how the state shuts down with just a dusting of snow.

I’ve already gotten warnings about the grocery stores being cleared out too

This looks like it could work out.

Ha! Yes! Any BWW would work. I think they have 30 tv’s.

Well I was hoping for a more Michigan themed bar owned by an alum or something

I'll have to bookmark this. We may move to STL next summer.

As a representative of St Louis. We'll pass.

We know several members of the Russian expat community here. They were all refugees of the Soviet Union. I wonder how welcome you'd be.

My basements got a bar, so currently for me, in St. Charles, its my basement.

Isn't every bar with a TV that you can convince to put the game on a UM bar??

No Michigan-friendly bars here in St. Louis that I know of. I would have invited you over but our house is a wreck.

Quick update for others in St. Louis who might be curious...we went to Lesters in LaDue and did run into a few other UM fans/alums. Not a huge contingent, but for a MAC matchup it was good to see at least a few. Not really a Michigan Bar™ per se, but it's a big place with plenty of tv's and seems to be a popular spot for college fan bases to meet up. Average taplist, but good food. We'll be back for more games and definitely some bigger matchups.
