Are there any other folks that live in Chicago?
Last week my boyfriend and I went to Sedgewick's the local Cardinals/Blues bar to watch the Blues game. It was euchre night, so while they did play the Blues game for us, they did not play sound - that was reserved for 90s music.
About ten minutes in we noticed all of the StL Cardinals items were taken off the walls. Other decorations were up including MSU Spartans memorabilia and Mizzou items. We asked if they were no longer a Cards/Blues bar. We were assured they were, but that they were painting the bar soon, so they took all of the items down. (Again, other things were on the walls, only the StL items were taken down.)
We left a Yelp review on this, to which they promptly responded with the "redecorating" story.
Then we noticed on their Facebook page they posted a video of Cubs fans cheering the previous week when they made it to the NLCS and how they were hoping to cheer again soon. We each left comments that we noticed it was convenient for the Cards gear to come down during the Cubs playoffs run and then to see them celebrating the Cubs. Both of our comments were deleted.
Look. I get that they're trying to run a business and they want Cubs' fans money. But, I don't appreciate the lies and the removal of our comments stating the facts. And, it's obvious the owner isn't actually a die hard StL fan, but instead looking to bilk StL fans of their money as the only designated StL bar in Chicago.
So, with that said, where else can we watch Blues games other than Sedgewick's?
