St. Louis has many different options, but SLU students usually flock to the same bars every week. Just like your signature drink, your favorite bar says a lot about your personality. Do you prefer the laid back feel of Humphrey's or dancing on Grizz's pole to Ke$ha?
Missouri Bar and Grille, "Mo Bar"
Your preferred night out includes decking out in denim or eighties attire. Trying to get on a bus to Mo Bar is like the Hunger Games, and the girl to guy ratio is roughly 35 girls to one guy. This doesn't phase you because your costumes on point and you are with 20 of your best friends.
Bobby's Place
Going to Bobby's before midnight is unheard of. You probably just left Dubs and stumbled down Wash Ave to Bobby's Place. The beer pong tables bring you back to your junior year of high school days. "Trap Queen" comes on the speaker and you're sold. You live for the 15 minutes of fame when the bartender asks you to dance on the bar.
Humphrey's
Wednesday is your favorite night of the week. What you save on penny pitchers, you end up spending on Pickleman's barbecue chicken pizza later that night. Humphrey's is the classic college bar where it is quiet enough to hear people to talk to you, and the lighting is a little too bright to function. Given the chance, Tommy Boy would thrive at Humphs.
Diablitos
You are either a basketball player or there for the salsa bar. I'm not judging because the mango salsa is amazing. Everyone in the village is annoyed with you because they can hear that song from the Sandlot, "Tequila Song," blaring through their apartment. You love the two-minute walk from Gries, but still wouldn't turn down a SLU ride in the winter months.
Library Annex
Contrary to the name, your favorite bar is not located in Pius. The Library Annex, better known as the Lannex, is in walking distance of campus. The ambiance and dance floor is similar to the Roxbury. Your ideal night out includes sipping on a Billy Bucket and dancing with random people from UMSL.
The Great Grizzly Bear, "Grizz"
Grizz is there for you when you need it most. Grizz is waiting with open arms on the first Thursday after dry recruitment or when you're lost in the streets at Mardi Gras. Kevin doesn't need to check your ID anymore because you are on a first name basis. It's all fun and games until the lights flash on..... and everyone sees you dancing with that tragic kid from your history class.
Dubliner
A night out at Dubs is always worth the hassle of calling a cab or making one of your friends drive you to Wash Ave. You thrive on the second floor of Dubs and talking to everyone you know. Your ideal night out includes a live band and Long Island ice teas. You always manage to get on stage and almost get your hands on the mic..... until suddenly everyone looks at you like you're Kanye at the VMAs.
