Sauget is just across the river from STL right next to East St. Louis. Sauget is ultra industrial and as long as you hop right off the highway and into the parking lot you'll be cool. If by some reason you get froggy and leap anywhere around there you may end up in a world of trouble.

Stay outta East Saint if your white and it's dark outside. Unless you're cool with being approached by bugged-out crackheads. But, Pops is sick. Sauget's a hella small, but pretty nice little neighborhood with a population of like 200 or some shit like that. My grandma lives there, and I used to stay with her and shit. Just don't get into trouble because Sauget cops can be HUGE dicks. You're dad might be turned off at the fact that Pops is located right next to two strip clubs, too. lol

Lol actually IF I tell him that, he might drive my ass there and just chill at the strip clubs till the shows over...

Thank you all for real. ANd yea he was telling me basically the same thing he was like MAYBE its ok around the venue and stuff cuz he was looking at the site and there having a Van Halen tribute band and he looked at it as older white people must live around there. But he was like, make a wrong turn and you might be fucked...

I dont care about the crackheads I got those by me too, i just car about my car and getting home haha. Thank yall for real.

I'm from Chicago, went out to St. Louis, took a cab to Pop's for the Kottonmouth Kings/Twiztid show in '06. Cool experience, kinda upset I didn't get to hit up the strip clubs nearby haha.

I DID encounter crackheads...at my little hotel in STL later that night. Some dude trying to sell me a pipe for $5 or some shit.

Sauget is almost a private owned city/town. Safe. Just off Interstate 55/70 on IL Route 3. It is right off the highway.

LOL @ E. St. Louis. Yeah, the East is not the safest place in the world, you will probably get jacked if you are around the wrong part......If you stay around the Casino area or drive down Route 15....you will be fine.

Pop's is dope. They have a balcony and stuff, pool tables, arcade games, snacks. It is kind of small, well they have a huge area to the right when you walk in and you cant see the stage that well so go to the left. I've smoked weed in there with out a problem as well if your a smoker and were wondering. It is a KMK after all.

Illinois has that weak ass smoking ban now. They'll kick you out. But they got a dope little section outside to smoke.
