There are some bars close to the stadium, that I cannot for the life of my think of their names, but they are south of the stadium.  Park a little bit away and walk to the stadium and save 10 bucks.  No where is cheap, and they only sell AB products at Busch.  Your best bet is to grab some beer and get with it from a gas station then walk to the game and stop at one of those 3 or 4 bars on the walk up to the stadium.  That's if you park on the south side close to the Soulard area.

Have fun and there will be some better insight than this, I haven't been downtown in a while.

Those two bars are basically stadium adjacent and good places for redbird atmosphere. As for at night, we went to the landing which is a few block walk from the stadium and a good place to party. When the bars closed we went over to the riverboat casino. Depending on what turns your gears, there's plenty to do within walking distance after/before the game.

I highly recommend the Kiener East Parking Garage which is located on the corner of Broadway and Pine.  It's well within walking distance, close to tons of great resteraunts (including Charlie Gitto's in the previously linked post,) and if you park up on the roof, which is never crowded, there's plenty of space to grill and tailgate to your heats delight.  Best of all, it only costs $5 as opposed to the typical $10-$15 you'll pay anywhere else.  Hopes this helps.

Well first I would not park in a parking garage.  I would find a open lot.  The reason for this is cause if you park ina garage you will be stuck in there for quite some time trying to get out after the game.  There are plenty of places.  I would say it will cost ya around 15 bucks.  but since it is the weeekend it could cost ya 20.  You can drink all ya want in the parking lot.  In fact i would suggest to atleast have a few befor entering cause a beer is 8.50 a piece.  Oh and always buy your beer from one of the beer vender stands where they sell the 24 oz. beers.  If you go to a regular food stand you pay 8.00 bucks for a 16 oz.  Just one of the many ways busch will get ya.  Anyways but as far as bars.  Paddy's o's is right outside the homeplate entrance and you can see hrabowski's from there also.  they have good food for cheap. Hrabowskis kind of looks like a old warehouse.  but since you guys are in your 20's and maybe looking for ladies i would suggest shannons.  It is a little pricer just to warn you but the scenery can be very nice.  It is in the direction of the outfield.  It has big green neon lights.  anyways but I hope this helped a little.  I may have just confused you more.  If you guys are still in the mood far partying after that.  I suggest washington street or soulard.  Im not a big fan of the landing. Good luck

come in hwy 40, get off on the broadway exit, and park in the lot right in between paddy's and killroys for Tailgating.  It's $15 which is high, but the very best to tailgate & you are right in the heart of the action.  This is all directly south of the stadium.

I would hit your car full of beer in between games and then you can hit paddy o's, Al's, and killroys if need be for in between partying.

After the game or anytime you're looking for tail;  go to mike shannon's.  hottest ass and a great place to party after the games.

*If you are looking for the most drunken fun...Paddy O's will be your place.  they have decent food too.

one other thing about shannons....look out for the cougars...but still plenty of other hot tail

if you're planning on pounding a few beers, you might wanna think about taking Metro Link to the game... will save you money & aggravation re: parking and the train stops right outside the stadium.

you also can take to it several after the game nightspots, including the Central West End.
