The nightlife in St. Louis is an eclectic sum of its parts, a collection of vibrant neighbourhoods offering their own unique night-time scenes. Most visitors tend to hit a bar on the downtown strip, Washington Avenue, and say they have 'done' St. Louis nightlife. Downtown does dominate the city’s evening entertainment, but that's not all there is on offer.
Games nights at the iconic Busch Stadium mean that the many bars at Ballpark Village are packed with excited sports fans. A few blocks away, you’ll find a classy rooftop lounge and one of St. Louis' oldest speakeasies. Having a drink at one of the Soulard neighbourhood patio bars and catching a live concert at The Pageant are some of the best summertime activities in the city. Looking for places to go at night in St. Louis? We’ve got a handy guide for you, below.
