Downtown Clayton played host to the biggest soccer match of the year. Since its opening five years ago, Barrister's in Clayton has steadily become the headquarters for watching international soccer games on television. To prove the trend, hundreds of fans crammed into the little pub to watch the Euro Cup finals today.
Whether you were there to cheer on Manchester United or Barcelona is your team.
"Obviously, I'm rooting for Barcelona. They play the most beautiful futbal in the world, and I think they have the best home grown players."
All St. Louis natives and visitors alike know that Barristers is the spot to watch them.
"You can come here in the middle of January at 7 o'clock on a Saturday morning, and you can watch Manchester United play Arsenal and you'll be here with 25 to 50 people." Tom Schulz - STL United FC
Barristers owner Jason Tilford is proud of the soccer tradition that pours in and out of his pub.
"We've been here 5 years now, and over the last 2 years, some other places have been popping up... soccer bars, but we were the first and we're pretty proud of that." Jason Tilford - Owner of Barristers in Clayton
Jason Tilford is looking to open another Barristers in Webster Groves hopefully soon because after having more than 130 people in Clayton, they actually had to turn people away.
