Saratoga Lanes in Maplewood, St. Louis, has been chosen as one of the exclusive 23 bars nationwide to preview tracks from Zach Bryan’s highly anticipated album, “The Great American Bar Scene.”

Zach Bryan fans in the St. Louis area are in for a special treat as Saratoga Lanes, a local gem, will host early listening sessions for the country star’s upcoming release. The announcement was made via Bryan’s Instagram, highlighting the unique role these selected bars play in American culture.

“I have chosen 23 bars across the country that embody the spirit of American culture,” Bryan shared in his post. “As much as I’d love to play at all these timeless bars, it won’t be possible. However, I will be visiting a few to have a drink with y’all.”

With “The Great American Bar Scene,” Zach Bryan celebrates the heart and soul of American bar culture, and Saratoga Lanes stands out as a proud participant in this nationwide celebration.

But above all, my priority is spending quality time with my kids.
