St. Louis

The clubs on the Illinois side are all closed for now due to restrictions imposed by the governor. Hopefully the restrictions will be lifted by late December, but who knows.

...and there are no clubs on the Missouri side of the St. Louis area

Ugh, that sucks!

Honestly, I may not even go now. I have about 10 days off work around that time, and had been planning to take some of that time for a road trip to check out some midwest clubs.

I am really glad I asked, though, cause I did think to check out the Hustler and PT's websites, and neither say anything about being closed.

So, thanks for this!

Everything that's going on now, I'd hesitate to trust information from the websites of most of these small time operators, very few will have the resources available to update their websites, right now my suggestion would be an old fashioned telephone call to the last known phone number and if no response i would assume them to be closed

Atleast according to some instagram post Scarlets is open limited hours for outdoor/patio clubbing and Wise guys seems to be open as well

Hustlers also posted the girls line up yesterday so I'd assume they are open as well

Thanks, everybody!

From the look of their socials, Hustlers is in fact open, so it looks like I'm going to do St Louis for vacation after all. If anyone has any other recommendations, hit me up!

Also, this may be a stupid question, but: Had been planning to stay in the central city, but it seems like the clubs on the east side are pretty far away, and I'm kind of a fanatic about not drinking and driving. Seems like a pretty expensive Uber trip.

Anyone got any tips on this? Is it really unsafe to stay on the east side? I'm fine with staying sober, really, but it WOULD be nice to have the option of a couple drinks.....

It is safe to stay in Fairview Heights, IL and Collinsville, IL. There are many chain hotels in those towns and both are within about six miles of Hustler. The hotel at Casino Queen is also safe, but the casino itself is closed right now. East St. Louis and Washington Park are not safe.

When I'm in St Louis I usually stay at the Baymont in O'Fallon. It is a decent hotel in a decent area right off I64. It is about a $20 Uber each way to Hustler.

Enjoyed reading the thread as a former area resident.

Moved away before the Hustler club was opened so wanted to make a trip back and check that out. But also want to checkout some of the old haunts if they are still around. So will probably wait until next fall?
