If college taught us anything, it’s that beer is always more fun with a few drinking games. Here, 6 of our favorite places to play while we imbibe:
1. There’s a whole room devoted to darts on The Loop. Bring your cricket and around-the-world A-game. Blueberry Hill, 6504 Delmar Blvd., St. Louis, 314.727.4444, blueberryhill.com 2. Maplewood’s hippest corner offers pinball and skee-ball in a grown-up setting. Orbit Pinball Lounge, 7401 Hazel Ave., Maplewood, 314.769.9954, Facebook: Orbit Pinball Lounge 3. Bocce ball is old school, but they take it seriously here. There are courts, tourneys and open play for the non-diehards.
