Box and Won Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 4 hours ago, johnbj14 said: My two cents based on no info, other than them going dark on all social outlets, is that Humphrey's will probably not be re-opening. Likely will go the way of the Shack and sit vacant. As a student it sucks not having a truly college bar with some character, but life moves on. Had I hit the Powerball last week, I would've bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Even better Box, you would have had enough money to buy Humphrey's and still be really wealthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFord and TRavs Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Funny enough it might happen that Watson is ranked higher than Gordon. Dude must be pissed he dropped so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majerus mojo Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 So the the guy that bought Humps did it under the pretense of re-opening it as a bar, same name, etc., and then once he completed the sale... he dropped those pretenses, and is now looking to flip it for a profit? About right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get to be my age you may indeed be able to enter a discussion of what it feels to have dead and decomposed children of your own. Until then I think it is time for a mutual ignore. So what does this have to do with McBroom's wife's lack of stretchmarks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbj14 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 My apologies if this has been posted before, but was looking up some real estate and a certain property caught my eye. Asking 1.595 million for Humphrey's according to this listing. Looking at the leasing page, it seems like they haven't leased any of the proposed spaces, so looks like 3700 Laclede is going to be vacant for a while. http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/20449740/3700-Laclede-Ave-Saint-Louis-MO/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The property tax on the building and the lot is $2,300. That is, also, a rate that can allow a speculator to sit on it for a very long time.

For undergrads: Lannex is probably the most frequented bar just because everyone ends up there at the end of the night. Tin Roof, BPV, Molly's, McGurks, and Wheelhouse are pretty common. Nick's Pub also is a place some will go on Thursday nights, but a lot of SLU people still go to Grizz. The past couple of weeks Lannex has had pennies, and Fieldhouse tried it a couple times last year as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Roof has that nice shiny new toy thing going on. I am a big fan of Start Bar classic arcade game bar, which is owned by the same people as Wheelhouse. It's not in Midtown but Westport Social is having a massive first 3 weeks in business and is really popular right now with the young professionals that work in the area. I read an article somewhere that they are adding one or two more bars to the area. If they are as good as Social I think the Plaza could really challenge for the young professional crowd to the east and into St. Charles and compete with Streets of St. Charles/Main Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After going to Pinewood Social in Nashville, I was ready to bring that to the Cortex area (similar to Wesport Social, but more sophisticated and less of just a mature Dave & Busters maybe?). Is there much in Westport? I would imagine that area could have a rebirth if it hasn't already based on the business activity around there.

Is this an annual rate or 6 months? Either way, it's less than what we pay on our house (in Cincinnati) every 6 months. Good grief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
