Okay, we’ve been to Crusens on Farmington Road, Duck’s On Farmington Road and Crusens On War Memorial. The only bar remaining from the Crusens family of bars is Whitey’s 29 Powered By Crusens.
Well, that’s our destination tonight and we’ll mark the Crusens chapter of this 365 bar crawl to a close! Off to Creve Coeur we go!

Bar Number 203: Whitey’s 29 Powered By Crusens, Monday, August 31, 2026
Signpost ahead: Whitey’s 29 Powered By Crusens!
I’ve never been in this bar, let’s take a look around in here!
They’ve got a nice outside beer garden and there’s the stage for live music out here.
They’ve got an impressive bar out here and more tables opposite over here. The reason there’s not much activity out here tonight is that it’s Monday and it’s about 177 degrees out here!
Let’s go inside and enjoy the sweet air conditioning in there!
Aaaah, nice and cool in here!
This is the front room with tables, chairs and booths that line the far wall in here.
But there’s something we need to get to and I think that thing is located in this room over here and that thing is…
The bar!
And there’s plenty of open seats, so let’s snag one and get settled in for the evening!
Zach was the friendly bartender on duty and he’s appeared on the blog before. Zach also bartends at Crusens On Farmington Road and I took his photo when we stopped in there last May. Welcome to the two-timers club, Zach!
In addition to double-duty bartending, Zach is also the owner of Guardian Pest, LLC located in Pekin. Zach is one busy guy! Great to see him again!
The lit-up bottles look nice behind the bar and there’s the quartet of beers on tap back there.
This is really an odd-shaped bar in here, kind of an irregular T-shape.
There’s dining tables opposite the bar and the full Whitey’s BBQ menu is available in here.
Gaming machines line the back wall if you feel lucky. Well, do ya…punk?
The Happy Hour Specials are listed over here. Happy Hour happens every Monday through Friday from 2pm to 5pm. If you’re unemployed and love the taste of cheap alcohol, stop on by!
There’s just a few shows left in the Whitey’s 29 Beer Garden Concert Series this year. There’s one happening this Saturday and you can read about it by clicking right here.

The Drinks
I had two cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon…wait…what’s that sound? Oh, it’s Chad Wallace, our PBR enthusiast drooling at the sight of dueling PBR cans!
