Where to watch the returns in St. Louis?

Do you know of any places in St. Louis where pro-Obama folks will be watching the returns? Bars, restaurants, any other suggestions welcome!

I know Meshuggah is having something--they had a sign up when I was in there yesterday.

The Democrat bar in the city is the Royale (3132 South Kingshighway). They're having a returns party. It'll be very pro-Obama. Local party folks always hang out there. The official campaign party will be at the Renaissance Grand Hotel downtown. You'll probably need to have volunteered for something to get in, but I'm just guessing. I'd say try to get in there. It was such a buzz to see the place explode in '06 for Claire McCaskill. Plus, it's on Washington and you can hit the bars after. But you could always just hit U-City, all the places on the Loop should be watching for Obama.

Have fun!

And hell yeah there's pro-Obama folks here ;)

Definitely the Royale...I mean, the place has pictures of the Kennedy brothers up behind the bar, along with a who's-who of greats - Ira Hayes, Joseph PUlitzer, Harriet Tubman, Truman, Ignatius of Loyola (think Irish Catholic), MLK...

THey have an area open in the yard behind the building as well. Parking, well, it's a bitch, even on a slow night, but...

Don't go to Meshuggah. Buncha fez- and beret-wearing liberals scribbling dark thoughts in notebooks, whatever. The Royale will likely be much better.

The local dems are having a party at The Chase Park Plaza...

Thirding The Royale... An excellent destination any night, but sure to be packed tomorrow.

You say that as if The Fez is somehow a bad thing.

I'll probably be sitting right here watching fivethirtyeight.com, but if it starts sounding like there is going to be a mefi table some place I might be convinced show up.
