(By clicking magnify you can get a close up look at the door to the bar.) So, after we did our Fish Fryday, our wives were attending a wedding shower and we still had a goodly amount of time to kill. During this time we started driving around the city. The Fish Fry was in [...]

You know, it really feels like it’s been about a thousand years since I’ve been to a new dive bar. It has really been two months since I’ve gotten out to a new place. This time of year though, with my Fish Fryday Series going on, time’s been a little bit short on hitting bars. [...]

Let me welcome you to the Special Series, “The 13 Blog On the Road!” From time to time when I travel, you’ll get a look into where we went and what kind of bars we found. In early December I got married to my then fiance and now wife. Our honeymoon was delayed a bit, [...]

For those of you following me on twitter, you know I’m a little bit behind on this post. We went on Friday and I’m just now getting this one. What can I say? It’s been a bit of a busy weekend. So, apology over, and let’s get down to it! I first discovered this South [...]

This is a story from back in the before time; long, long ago. It was requested that I post this one, so here it is: Years ago, Chris and I used to go to Phelan’s on a weekly basis. It was our home bar. We both worked retail and we’d kick 10pm like 5pm for [...]

On Sunday, the fiancee and I were driving down to the Bevo Neighborhood to visit our friends’ new baby. On our way down there, we saw a few great bars that the 13 Blog had to check out in the very near future. Well, the first one we got to was Colorado Bob’s Ship of [...]
Last night, the fiancee and I headed out on our next trip to a new bar that we’d never been to. I did some reading, and at STL Meal Deals, I’d heard that Barristers has a great late night happy hour. So we decided to head out there, with the lady and I both being [...]
What is a dive bar? In other words, what are we looking for here at the 13 blog? For me, a dive is a very special kind of place. It’s a bar, that’s always, ALWAYS very dark. (This is unfortunate, as it makes it hard to take quality photos.) So, I’ve got some pictures culled [...]
The fiancee and I had decided to stay at home, watch the Cards, Blues, and Tigers on the TV. I was going to burn down the remote control. She sends me a text on my way home, saying, we’re going out tonight, and you’re buying. Hooray. (At least I got a refund check to offset [...]
So, we headed out to Screamers on Gravois Rd. last night. As we got there, I noticed there were a whole bunch of newspapers in the window and all the lights were off. I looked over at the fiancee and said holy hell, it’s closed. (As we drove past it later, we saw that it’s [...]
