It sounds like a great place to eat.



How expensive is it? Is it about like other sports bars (as far as cost)?

heres the menu. http://www.skyboxstl.com/menus/menu.pdf

^^^^No that I think this is a good idea for most people...but damn Miguel. Take a Valium or something. Have a couple bees. Anything man.

me and my girl went it was a lil late so they stop serving food they were still serving drinks tho until 1:30 this might sound crazy but the restrooms are great





the stall

A TV in the bathroom. I think that would drive my Dad crazy.



He thought it was weird when we got a TV in our kitchen.

How long until the first drunk misses the urinal because of the crooked tiles?

This place is first class all the way. Well-designed space, the decor isn't cheap, and the staff is friendly, pleasing to the eye, and seems very well-trained and professional (the way the Lumiere Place staff should be). I don't think anyone would have ever accused Jacque's of any of these things. Too bad SkyBox couldn't have gone into Lumiere Place itself, or one of the hotels. I think they complement each other really well, but as it stands right now, there is no easy way to get from one to the other.



BTW, the sidewalks and overall pedestrian environment on the Landing desperately need a major and complete renovation. You really have to watch every step when walking around the Landing or you'll end up with a broken ankle, or worse. And, how any female can navigate the Landing in high heels, I believe is one of the great mysteries of the universe. The lighting, cleanliness, and traffic flow all really suck the big one as well.

Why is this in residential? Just wondering.

Skybox Bar & Grill

Skybox Bar & Grill



The first thing one notices about the Skybox Bar & Grill on Laclede's Landing are all the TVs — all flat screen, all high-definition, all large, and all 80-plus of them beaming throughout the sprawling venue.



There's even a TV at every urinal and in every bathroom stall.



It sounds like a bit much, but maybe you should expect nothing less from a sports bar backed by rapping heavyweight Nelly and sports stars Larry Hughes, Marshall Faulk and Darius Miles. Their banding together for Skybox makes it one of downtown's newest must-see destinations.

That is wierd.



Seriously though, I was there last night and it's a nice place. The food was great. Almost every TV has an Xbox attached too.

The ESPNzone I went to had Tvs in front of every urinal. I thought it was pretty cool, but I was afraid to change the channel

the wings are great

Yes, but you have to bring your own joystick.

check

In this months ALIVE mag, nelly is interviewed and says that he wants to put a 16-20 room hotel above skybox.

Those were TV cameras. They go to a large bank of TV monitors in Ohio where people watch urinals from all around the country all day and flush for you remotely when they see you are finished.

Gary.. you didn't get the memo.



they shut that center down and moved it to India. Saved them on labor

and potential litigation costs.

Ohhhh! That explains the longer delay I've been noticing lately.

Is their patio open yet?

I think Nelly should drop the restaurant/club biz and keep building giant sports arenas for the under privileged youth in west county.

He was on the cover of the latest St. Louis Mag. mentioned that he has plans to build a hotel on top of Skybox. We'll see, but the guy has always thought big and kind of seems like what he touches turns to gold. He has been a great ambassador to St. Louis, so I am not sure why people give him $hit ^.
