Bachelorette Week: Bar Hopping

Today's post features our Bachelorette Party bar hopping and the party bus that got us there.

After SALT we headed over to the Moonrise Hotel to grab our decorations (veil, beads, hottie whistles, etc.) and gear (Beer, Jello Shots, snacks) for the party bus to pick us up.  We rented a party bus from STL Road Pony (the "Colt" is the name of the type of bus) which pulled up with music blaring and lights flashing... it's definitely a bus you have to party in.  It picked us up and drove us around for an hour so we could enjoy beer, jello shots and dancing on the bus.  What really makes Road Pony buses stand out, is the fact that there are two "stripper" poles in the middle of the bus's walkway (great for holding your balance too when the bus is making sharp turns).  It just made dancing way more fun and added to the party.  Overall, great party bus choice!

  FIRST STOP: Double D Lounge (Karaoke!)

We first stopped at Double D Lounge off Brentwood to enjoy some Karaoke.  Wash U and SLU kids must be back in town, because the place was wall to wall full of people!  The place was hopping, but luckily we found a spot right in the front near all of the singers and action.  The line for song requests was like 40 deep, so we had to bribe/harass our way onto stage so we could sing 2 songs before moving onto the next bar.  First song: Britney Spears "Hit Me Baby One More Time" (a classic).  Second song: Kelly Clarkson "Since You've Been Gone" (great for screaming).  Overall it was fun, but unusually crowded; however, I think it was just a fluke, because it is not usually that crowded.  Double D's is also known for their jello shots, so it can make for a fun evening.

SECOND STOP: Pepper Lounge (Dancing!)

Next stop is the Pepper Lounge downtown off Locust Street.  I have been in love with Pepper Lounge since I first went there the summer of 2008.  In Winston Salem for Law School I was always craving a good dancing club, but it seriously lacked there.  And in South Bend for College I pretty much spent every Friday night at the Backer for dancing and Tokyo Teas, so the Pepper Lounge brings back found memories of that (Except Pepper Lounge is like 20 times nicer!).  So of course we had to go to Pepper Lounge to dance the rest of the night away!  Unfortunately, this place was jammed packed too!  We could barely get in and we had to huddle in a tight circle and were constantly being bumped by people around us.  I swear... it is usually not that crowded!  We noticed Jessie was getting a bit sleepy so we took our party bus back to Moonrise Hotel and called it a night (and enjoyed some late night snacks on our very quiet right home).
