Does anyone know of any good plastic surgeons in St. Louis? I'm pretty sure that Brian Setzer…read moremelted my face off completely last night. Me and the STL Concert Queen (Allison B. -- if you don't know, now ya know!) hit up Pop's for some rockabilly awesomeness from Mr. Setzer. I'm going to try really hard to review the venue and not the show itself. Just know that it's really REALLY hard to separate the two. I'm squealing like a little girl right now. Deep breath. Okay. Pop's is in East St. Louis, and while I do get a little nervous trekking to this part of town, it's really not bad. I felt completely safe while I was there. The parking lot seems pretty secure (I didn't fear anyone breaking into my car), and the venue itself is clean-ish. I didn't buy any food or drinks while I was here, but I came here some years ago for the Flobots show, and I remember some weird funky thing with the bartenders. They'll charge your card $10, give you the cash, and then you pay using that. Or at least, that's how it used to be. Not sure if that's still the case. Anyway, Pop's is smoke free. Pop's has a decent sound system. Pop's feels relatively safe. I really have no complaints. Now off to find that plastic surgeon...

Pop's is known to be a legacy. It is open 24 hours, 7 days a week, and has been around on the east…read moreside for 30+ years. There is no surprise to find out that its busiest time every night is from 3-6am during the weekdays, and 2am-7am on weekends. It caters to all sorts. One of the bartenders told me that you can find the 'People of Wal-Mart's Finest" here at Pop's during their prosperous late night hours. Their main clientele during the late night hours are those from the industry, east siders, or of course, your typical late night party-er wanting to drink til the sun comes up. My Thursday night out at Pop's was relatively tame and early. My boyfriend and a couple of my friends went to see Panic! at the Disco at Pop's. I won free tickets off the radio on Wednesday. Though, I'm not a huge fan, still seemed like a fun activity to do. The venue is fairly accommodating to bands and fans. Pop's can hold up to 1,500 people in the main area. It has a covered patio for smokers, and an upstairs area for onlookers to get a gracious sight of the whole first floor. They have a food vendor on the outside of Pop's that sells your basic American food. Phillies, chicken, nachos, and hotdogs. You are allowed to bring it in the venue when concerts are playing. Otherwise, I'm not sure if Pop's itself serves food. They do have drink specials every night though! Come here to drink and not eat. Drinks are standard pricing per usual. That's the best advice I can give. Overall, this is a pretty neat place. I really enjoyed it and will definitely have to come back during their peak hours one weekend..

We visited Pop's for the first time for a Road to Pointfest concert…read more We were able to buy tickets online ahead of time, although the fees for 2 tickets were about the same amount as a 3rd ticket (I guess that's the way that works these days). I was able to add the tickets to my Apple wallet. When we arrived there was lots of free parking in the lot out front. They opened the doors exactly when they said they would on the event. It took some time to make it inside. They ID absolutely EVERYONE so don't forget your ID. Security check involved walking through a metal detector, a purse check and then getting patted down. Men are not allowed to bring in bags. After that they checked tickets. Inside was a typical dive concert venue with two sides and elevated stages. We had hard seltzers to drink. There was a variety of flavors. I thought the drink prices were a bit high for a dive bar but much lower than prices if you bought a drink at a larger event space or professional sports game. They accepted credit cards. Smoking isn't allowed inside (yay!) but there is an enclosed smoking outdoor area. I would return here if there was a specific show that I wanted to see. You do have a good view of the stage and are able to interact with the performers and crowd.

The staff were incredibly welcoming, which for me is always the biggest indicator of whether I'll enjoy a place. I arrived during their daily Happy Hour (4-6 PM) and ordered the crab dip with homemade crackers, while my friend tried one of their cocktails. Everything tasted delicious, and the staff remained very attentive throughout our visit. I was also impressed by the cleanliness and the interior design. I noticed a beautiful mural on the wall and later learned it is a portrait of one of the owner's mothers, how sweet is that? If you're thinking about stopping by this new downtown spot, don't hesitate! My only feedback is that the entrance can be a little difficult to find as the signage wasn't very visible to me, but that's it. Highly recommend!

They were just opening up for the evening and it took a few minutes to get served, but everyone was super friendly and I was impressed by the design/vibe inside. I ordered the strawberry rhubarb pie mixed drink which came with a little side of dessert. I loved the drink itself but the fruit in the dessert was definitely past its prime and I ended up eating around it. We also got the wash ave flatbread for the table. We all loved the crunch of the giardiniera on the flatbread and it was a great plate to split for the table. I do wish prices were included on the menus just for visibility. Would definitely stop in again to try another drink from the menu!
