Humphrey's Restaurant & Tavern (also referred to as Humphrey's or Hump's) is a college bar near Saint Louis University.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] For over four decades, the restaurant and tavern at the corner of Spring and Laclede has been the close-to-campus destination for many students. It was the basis for the 2001 film One Night at McCool's , written by Stan Seidel,[6] and yet the movie was not shot here. Seidel, who died just prior to the film's debut, was a frequent customer at Humphrey's before writing the film.[7]
The tavern opened on June 18, 1976, and is named after its owner, Robert "Humphrey" Mangelsdorf.
Mr. Mangelsdorf was born in St. Louis. In 1968, he earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from St. Louis University, where he was a member of Phi Kappa Theta fraternity.
The tavern closed on January 1, 2017. Originally the structure was going to be demolished and rebuilt,[8] but it instead was heavily renovated. Humphrey's reopened in November 2022.
