Things To Do
The Gardens at SIUE
The Gardens is a 36-acre property which includes a variety of natural areas, gardens, bridges and student-designed sculpture in a landscaped setting. Paved walking paths and plentiful benches are located throughout, so feel free to visit and take a leisure stroll before nightime activities.
X-Golf Glen Carbon
X-Golf is an indoor golf simulator. Hope your swing is better than Bradens!
Goshen Coffee Roasters
Need a cup of coffee before heading out of town? We recommend Goshen for easy convenience and the best beans.
Hotshots Sports Bar & Grill
Bradens favorite place to be on a Friday night. Hotshots is equipped with all of his favorite things: pool tables, darts, beers and the boys.
Downtown Edwardsville
Listed below are all places we love within walking distance of St. Boniface Church and the Ink House. Enjoy spending a day in the place we fell in love
Stagger Inn
Allis favorite local dive bar, frequently has live music. Many college nights were spent staggering inn and staggering out
Foundry Public House
Great atmosphere and patio.
Sacred Grounds Cafe
Braden and I spent some mornings here, drinking coffee and playing board games. I beat him in chess, every single time.
Backstage Bar & Patio
Back in our day we called this gem Laurie's. Braden and I would start our nights splitting a pitcher of beer here before heading over to Big Daddy's Bar.
