St. Louis was buzzing this weekend with college basketball fans from around the country…well North Carolina, Ohio, and Kansas – close enough. I was lucky enough to attend both days of games and had a fantastic time. More exciting was to see downtown so full of people experiencing our city for the first time. It made me wonder, how do they view St. Louis before they visit and after? Is our city lovable to outsiders visiting the first time or are we an acquired taste? Either way, amazing games, especially for any KU fans out there.
A crucial part of going to college basketball games is where to go to pre-party given that in general admission seats at NCAA games they don’t serve alcohol. And more importantly where to get some tasty food before you order traditional stadium food, which is also a necessity. So I visited two new establishments and really loved them both.
Friday destination: Three Sixty rooftop bar at the Hilton downtown. Everyone should check this place out at least once. If nothing else, just for the view. It would be a great place to go before or even during a Cardinal game with it’s clear view of the stadium! Second reason to go there is the food. They have an amazing menu that you wouldn’t necessarily expect from a bar. The sliders are incredible. The drinks are a little pricey, but worth it.
Overall, a great weekend of eating and basketball in St. Louis!
