About
Sports and Social STL is the ultimate modern sports viewing experience in St. Louis, located inside Ballpark Village at 651 Clark Avenue in downtown. Part of a national chain of high-energy sports bar and social gaming venues, the St. Louis location has leveraged its massive infrastructure and Ballpark Village's events platform to become an official CITY on Tap partner for St. Louis CITY SC.
The Viewing Setup
The venue features over 20 high-definition LED televisions and a massive media wall that creates a stadium-like atmosphere for watching matches. The AV technology is state-of-the-art, with sound systems calibrated for sports viewing and screens positioned throughout the space so there is no bad seat in the house. For CITY SC matches, the entire venue shifts into watch-party mode with dedicated programming on the media wall.
Match Day Specials and Shuttle Service
As an official CITY on Tap partner presented by Michelob Ultra, Sports and Social offers dedicated specials during every CITY SC match: 25-dollar buckets and four-dollar Michelob Ultra drafts. For home matches, Ballpark Village provides a free shuttle service to Energizer Park, making Sports and Social a practical pre-game staging point for fans who want to park downtown and ride to the stadium rather than navigate the Downtown West match-day traffic.
The shuttle connection is particularly useful because Ballpark Village and Energizer Park are about two miles apart. Fans can arrive early, watch the pre-match buildup on the big screens over Tex-Mex-inspired food and signature cocktails, then catch the shuttle to the stadium without moving their car.
Between the Halves
What distinguishes Sports and Social from traditional soccer bars is the entertainment layer. Between matches or during halftime, the venue offers interactive social games including Skee-Ball, Pop-a-Shot basketball, shuffleboard, foosball, ping pong, bubble hockey, duckpin bowling, and darts. An outdoor plaza adjacent to the Together Credit Union Plaza provides additional space for events and overflow on busy match days. Live music runs throughout the week.
A Different Niche
Sports and Social does not pretend to be a traditional soccer pub, and that is its strength. It serves a specific audience: fans who want the big-screen, high-energy, modern sports bar experience with top-tier AV, reliable food and drink specials, and the convenience of Ballpark Village's parking and shuttle infrastructure. For groups with mixed sports interests, families looking for entertainment beyond the match, or visiting fans who want a guaranteed high-quality viewing experience without navigating unfamiliar neighborhoods, it fills a niche that the supporter-driven bars downtown do not.
