St Joseph

St. Joseph, the Missouri River town where the Pony Express began its first run in 1860 and where outlaw Jesse James was shot and killed in 1882, has a bar scene of 40 venues led by sports bars and classic bars, with a real dive bar presence too. Local spots like Bill's Pub and Kelly's Pub keep a classic tavern feel alive, while River Bluff Brewing and BR's Tiki Bar add some variety to the city's frontier-town nightlife.
