Basically me and my cohort of finely manicured recent college grads.
Got dragged kicking and screaming to a birthday party this weekend at "Jive and Wail" in Maplewood. I hate dueling piano bars but I relented and went since I agreed to be a designated driver.
Interesting crowd. About 75% female on a Saturday night with a ton of bachelorette parties and other events being celebrated. Lots of cougars and lots of 21-25 year old chicks squeeling when stuff like "Brown Eyed Girl" and "Baby Got Back" gets played.

Haha this thread is too funny. Mainly because when I read the subject line the first thing that popped into my head was "Jive & Wail". That place should rename itself The Cougar Den.

Solid thread here overall.
Cougars? Cheetahs? Pumas?
Meow.
Focus: My general understanding of patterns for "Cougar" migration to bars is based on the drink selection and de-emphasis on sports tv and beers on tap in favor of a monied atmosphere, including a dozen different martiniesque cocktails in a special menu and BMWs in the parking lot. Less hip, more established. More often than not, it's suburban, as the kids are raised in the County (there's soccer balls in those Beemers). If you're also looking at the happy hour crowd, think of places which have proximity to shopping, a gathering activity that usually brings together these cats in packs. Best is when you find bars near yoga or pilates places.
Noting its suburban setting, the large number of boutiques, its proximity to Wellbridge and municipal athletic centers, the car brands, and the restaurant selection, I can think of no better place than Clayton for the younger guys here to go trolling for older women wanting to buy them cocktails with red liquid. I'd recommend Cardwell's.
Plus, have you really taken notice of what comes out for Parties in the Park? Not the workers, but the married women who come in only for the drinking and socializing. Little more than collagen with tanned legs, big purses, and designer hair weaves.
Even worse: Truffles on Clayton Road in Ladue. My younger sister was recently working nearby and went there for drinks with a coworker, neither thinking to expect anything out of the ordinary. Inside, she said pretty much the whole clientele was rich married people having affairs. That's it. Everywhere she looked, she said, it was cuckolds and a couple waitresses. However, because everyone there's a cuckold, and no one wants to out the others, they all carry on in a quasi-public nature. She said it was bizarre and truly creepy.
Bonus: the food's really good. I hear.

I'll add Villa Farroto in Chesterfield to GC's list. Cougs don't seem to be too big on the city.

In addition to Gone Corporate and DeBaliviere's suggestions, I'd submit that anywhere in Chesterfield Valley fitting the above description, including Villa Farotto, would probably reveal many cougars in their preferred habitat. There are at least two or three places up and down Long Road, for example, that probably cater to this crowd.
Now, for those of you that want to know where hoosier cougars (hoogars? cousiers?) are, I can think of several South City/South County dives that might be target-rich environments.

Haha, cousiers. Nice.

I am truly laughing my ass off. This is hands down the most hilarious thread ever created. Cousiers may be the funniest combo-creation-word I have heard this year.
I had always heard bahama breeze (or whatever the hell it is/was called) in the valley is/was a swingers spot.

Yeah, I really hate the smash-two-words-together neologisms, but cousiers is pretty damn funny.newstl2020 wrote:. Cousiers may be the funniest combo-creation-word I have heard this year.

Cousiers, ha ha love it!
So where is ground zero for them? Failoni's and JackSons on Manchester--Thursday nights?

Jackson's has some serious cousiers. and Chesterfield has the cousiers with money.. LOL! The only cougar place I can think of in the city might be Herbie's. I wish the crowd was slightly younger.. sometimes it is..

It may have been said before, but I've never heard it, so I suppose it's a new way to describe at least half of the fortysomethings in St. Louis?newstl2020 wrote:Cousiers may be the funniest combo-creation-word I have heard this year.
Yeah, that place hasn't been Bahama Breeze for a couple of years at least. I'm not sure what it is now. When I went to one on my last visit to Indianapolis (sneer if you must, it was close to my hotel near the Marion/Hamilton county line on the NE side of Indy), there were plenty of cougars, so it wouldn't surprise me.I had always heard bahama breeze (or whatever the hell it is/was called) in the valley is/was a swingers spot.
