Mike Talayna's Jukebox

Total STL late night bad decision tradition. Everyone in this town needs to experience Talaynas at least once, preferable hammered... Only after 1 AM though. That's when its packed. Place is weird before then... Fridays and Saturdays only as well. Went on a random Thursday a little after 8 with some buddies and we practically had the place to ourselves. No more than three other people there at any given time. Karaoke was going and we played a little karaoke roulette. Great place to be if you ever want to work on that diddy you been meaning to try, but dont want to do it in front of a big crowd.

This is on the bucket list for those tour guides looking to show their out-of-town guests a fun and interesting side of St. Louis. It's like walking into the inside of a disco ball sprinkled with strong drinks backed by the sound track of grimy karaoke which finishes off strong with a raging party. The DJ they have now is great on the microphone, real funny and spins tracks with the best of them.

visiting from nyc, this bar was on my list of places I wanted to go. yeah it's grimy but it adds to the charm. beautiful cold aesthetic. it's like a strip club meets disco meets the bar from scarface meets the bar from blood simple. amazing people watching. get there early for a more chill vibe before the college kids show up by the bus load around 11:30 and you get dizzy seeing the infinity mirror reflections of wasted white girls in halter tops. great time. wish I could bring this bar back with me.
