Bars & Nightlife

St. Louis is home to many nightclubs, lounges, and bars, catering to all tastes. Like their sister Mississippi River towns Memphis, Chicago and New Orleans, St. Louis offers its own style of the blues; the St. Louis Blues. Several night spots features live blues to enjoy deep into the night. Live music thrives in other St. Louis venues featuring indie, underground, local, and national bands. The city abounds with ultra lounges featuring well-versed mixologists and great beats as well as a good number of dance clubs to trip the light fantastic. Strap on those dancing shoes and hit the floor at any of the city’s high-profile nightclubs. If you’re looking for a night out but in a calmer environment, you’re in luck. Some of the best places to enjoy great cocktails and wine can be found in any of the city’s 79 neighborhoods.
