St. Louis Game Time 2011 Meet and Drink Wednesday: East Of The River Edition

I loved this photo so much that I HAD to be sure it was used again.

St. Louis Game Time proudly presents . . . 2011 Game Time Meet and Drink tour stop NUMBER TWO . . . coming Wednesday, May 18th to . . . THE ALTON SPORTS TAP IN BEAUTIFUL (?!) ALTON, ILLINOIS!

Yes, we had such a good time at the first Meet and Drink that we decided to go for another round, both literally and figuratively. You're all invited. We're all invited. And it's sure to be a good time.

If you aren't familiar with where the Alton Sports Tap is, well, here's a Google Map of where it is. Basically, it's right off Homer Adams Parkway, and for you folks from the Missouri side of the river, it's about five minutes from the Clark Bridge.

I'll be honest: I've lived 30 miles away from the Alton Sports Tap pretty much my whole life, and I've never been there, so I don't even know what to expect from the place. But it's a sports bar, so there's that. And it has the seal of approval from our very own Poor College Student, who of all people is from a closer proximity than ANYONE else at St. Louis Game Time. And Tim has never swayed me wrong before.

The game of the night will be Game Two between the San Jose Sharks and the Vancouver Canucks, being played in the jewel of Canada's beautiful southwest coast (yes, I just said that out loud, SHUT UP).

I have a feeling we will do at least one more of these Meet and Drinks, so if you can't make it to this one, you still may be in luck!

So join us, won't you? Food, beer, hockey, people, good times. Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

I would like to go but,

alas I am not at the magical age where you can go into bars at night.

It's a restaurant too.

I don’t think it’s like Fast Eddie’s, where you HAVE to be 21 to get in.

okay

but there is the other thing, I have absolutely no clue where that is and after looking at the map I don’t think my parents would want me to go up there that late at night.

just so you know

i asked the waitress to bring me the crappiest tasting beer they serve at the last place we went.

i got a stag.

You weren't being patriotic, then?

Red neck, white socks and Blue Ribbon Beer…

I'm gonna guess that Donut King in Historic Macoupin County...

..is closer to the Alton Sports Tap than PCS in Maryville.

The AST is just down the road from where my cousins live in Rosewood Heights, and I could get from Historic Macoupin County to their place in 20 minutes via Prairietown Road and IL 140.

Usually takes me a bit longer . . .

because I take Prairietown (now Renken) Road to 159 to Moro Road to Plegge Boulevard to 140. Shortest distance and all. And yes, I know Bethalto like the back of my damn hand because of my many trips across the river to get smokes back in the day.
