A freind of mine said there might be a pub in Marthasville that has $.75 beers. Is this true? I am riding from East to West between June 19 and 23, with the hopes of getting absolutely wasted every nite. Does anybody have any suggestions about good bars and cheap libations on or around the trail?

There's a classic bar & grill in Marthasville (I wouldn't exactly call it a "pub",) I think called the Gables, or the Twin Gables. It has pool tables, a large, boisterous clientele and a menu featuring good homemade batterfried everything in addition to a range of burgers. After I ate the onion rings and the chicken gizzards, I couldn't finish my "mini-gable" burger, so ate it the next day. In fact, I was pretty full for about 36 hours after that little culinary adventure! It would be a good place to get "wasted." (I only had two beers (big, dark draft, don't remember the price but it was reasonable.) In retrospect, I probably could have handled a pitcher and it would have been even cheaper!

I was just in Marthasville yesterday and I am going to be camping there on the 19th with about 300 other riders with the 2006 DNR Katy Trail ride... There is a bar on the highway just southeast of the trail and I'm sure the beer is pretty reasonably priced there. Lorettas was a neat bar and restaurant that could be closed now. I like to stop at the Augusta Brewery and sample the IPA and Hyde Park stout! You just have to stop there. Dutzow has a neat deli right at the trail head and they also serve a couple of Augusta's brew on tap. The food is great there and affordable. We are going to camp in Jeff City the next night after a 60 mile plus day... hope it's cool for that day. Good luck on your trip and feel free to email me,
Paul

If you make it to Hartsburg, be sure to stop at the Hitching Post.

I too will recommend the Hitching Post in Hartsburg. I have been there 3 times and there is always a good mix of locals and Columbia College kids there and best of all they have FAT TIRE on tap there. I couldn't believe my eyes! Fat Tire on tap in BFE Missouri? Got to love that!! Enjoy your ride and have one for me man!!

The winery in Hartsburg has a decent selection of beer...including my favorite...Guiness!
And, don't forget the smoothies at Hartsburg Cycle Depot...no alcohol, but tasty and very
refreshing!
