As we reported earlier, Metropolis St. Louis will be heading to the northside tonight. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Here's the lineup via Brian Marston:
From 6:30 - 8 p.m., the group will be at J's Hideout Cocktail Lounge, 4257 Dr. Martin Luther King Dr. This cozy, laid-back establishment features two big-screen TVs, a fish tank full of oversized goldfish, and plastic Clydesdales in a Plexiglas case over the bar. The dapper gentleman wearing a suit behind the bar is the proprietor, J.D. Bratcher. A big glass of Crown on the rocks is $5.
At 8:00, the gang will head to the Harlem Tap Room, 4161 Dr. Martin Luther King Dr. Established in 1946, this club sees the most traffic of the three stops on the itinerary. It features an enticingly backlit liquor display that is well-stocked with premium brands. A waitress delivers drinks to the tables. The canned beer is ice cold (literally).
The last stop of the night is Zack's Lounge, 1904 Whittier St. The group will be there from 9:30 to 11. Zack's is a tiny shotgun bar that's a bit off the beaten path (and, amusingly, right next-door to a church), the home of the curiously punctuated "Zackaroo's and Zackaretts" has the most straight-up neighborhood flavor of any Ville bar. Some of the regulars have been going to Zack's for 20 years. Family photos and Christmas decorations line the wall behind the bar. Gracie, Zack's wife, works Thursday nights. In her words, "We all family here."
Join the group at any time tonight. Bring friends. Make friends.
