Best Local Impresario: Joshua Grigaitis | Best of St. Louis

Drive past 2720 Cherokee Street on most weekend nights, and you’ll find a gaggle of people, from teenagers through thirtysomethings, lined up on the sidewalk to gain access to the club. Though 2720 has been in operation for a little less than a year, its magnet-like ability to draw in music fans is due in no small part to the efforts of Joshua Grigaitis, the man behind the Loyal Family brand of show promotions and event planning. Known to most as Joshua Loyal, Grigaitis got his start in the business through booking shows at his father’s Hill-area tavern, Pop’s Blue Moon. Since then his shows have broken out of the jam-band scene and have come to encompass bluegrass, hip-hop, funk and DJ performances, and his space at 2720 Cherokee serves as a big, blank canvas for Grigaitis’ come one/come all approach to throwing memorable events and uniting music lovers.

Sober bars draw people more concerned with health than alcohol

ST. LOUIS – Not far from the Anheuser-Busch brewery, Joshua Grigaitis fills a cooler with bottles and cans in one of the city’s oldest bars.

It’s Saturday night. The lights are low. Frank Sinatra’s crooning voice fills the air, along with the aroma of incense. The place has all the makings of a swank boozy hangout.

Except for the booze.

Pop’s Blue Moon bar, a fixture of this beer-loving city since 1908, has joined an emerging national trend: alcohol-free spaces offering social connections without peer pressure to drink, hangovers or DUIs. From boozeless bars to substance-free zones at concerts marked by yellow balloons, sober spots are popping up across the nation in reaction to America’s alcohol-soaked culture, promising a healthy alternative for people in recovery and those who simply want to drink less.
