Meet and Drink with St. Louis Game Time this Friday

This oughta guarantee the attendance of CrossCheckRaise

We did this last year during the Stanley Cup Finals with a good degree of success so we're gonna give it another go.

The St. Louis Game Time staff and commenters will be assembling at Bobby's Place in Valley Park on May 6th to eat, drink, watch hockey (SJ/DET and PHI/BOS), and generally bullshit among each other. There will be at least one more of these during the playoffs so if you can't make it to this one, no big deal. As for what time to show up, well, the first puck drop is at 6 so I imagine anytime after that will work. I won't be there until later but I'll make up for lost time once I do show up.

And since there will be at least one more of these gatherings, throw out some suggestions for dates and places. Ideally, I'd like to do 2 more of these with one of 'em set over in Illinois (Alton Sports Tap comes to mind as a good place to gather).

Like PCS, I'll be there late.

And maybe will make up for it, but I have a bachelor party to attend the next day.

I may be sending guests to the party as well.

How about having one of these downtown, maybe at The Over Under

I’m all for the Alton Sports Tap too.

All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer.

Love to but

I promised my niece we’d go see her last volleyball game of the season and it’s at 8.
I work until 6:30 and if no one is getting there until later…..
Maybe Mr Depends and I can make a different one.

I fully expect you gentlemen and ladies to consume copious quantities of alcohol in my absence...

I’ll be there in spirit.

I'm working to damn it.

But if we do another one I’ll definitely try and make it.

There will certainly be another one

For those that can’t come, let me know what would dates would work (Weekday evening, friday/saturday) or throw out some locations that would be a good place to put a bunch of hockey fans near each other with some beer and enough tvs for everyone to watch the game. Seriously, picking a spot is the hardest spot with people from all over the area.

I'm sure the majority of fans would prefer a place on the west side of the river . . .

but if we DO do one on the east side, Alton Sports Tap is a great place and has my seal of approval. Plus, it’s only about a half-hour away from my house. Which helps.

if we did one in Illinois. Before anybody suggests Fast Eddie’s Bon-Air, there’s crappy cover bands on weekends and not a whole lot as far as TVs go unless you’re seated outside.

And as much as I love Fast Eddie's . . .

that is NOT the best place to watch a hockey game. Or any sporting contest of any kind.

AST is my choice for an East Side gathering.

I too will have to make a different one....

since i’m driving up to Terre Haute….due to the fact that I am graduating on Saturday….hopefully you won’t schedule the next one for a week from Friday since I’m headed to my undergrad instituion for their graduation

Hooters Anyone?

I’ll throw any Hooters into the mix for future get togethers? I live near one in South County but they have locations all over the metro area, the one in Illinois is in Fairview. I work Nights for the VA here in St. Louis so I can’t make this one Friday night.
