Bars in St. Louis

Anheuser-Busch Biergarten is St. Louis's most historically significant beer destination — the original Budweiser brewery campus offering tours and biergarten experiences at the birthplace of America's most iconic beer brand. The Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales, the original brewhouse architecture, and the extraordinary history of Adolphus Busch's German immigrant success story create a bar experience with unique American cultural significance.

Anheuser-Busch Brewery in south St. Louis presents historic brewery tours and a biergarten at one of the largest breweries in the world.

Blueberry Hill is one of America's most celebrated rock and roll bars — a beloved Delmar Loop restaurant and music club that has hosted over 300 Chuck Berry concerts (Berry was a St. Louis native and longtime Loop resident who played monthly residencies here into his 80s). Beyond Chuck Berry's legacy, Blueberry Hill's collection of pop culture memorabilia, excellent burgers, and intimate Duck Room stage have made it an essential St. Louis institution and a pilgrimage destination for music fans who understand its unique place in American rock history.

Broadway Oyster Bar is a beloved St. Louis dive bar and live music venue near the Mississippi riverfront — a gumbo-and-oyster institution that has anchored the city's bar scene since 1977. Just blocks from the Gateway Arch and the former Lumière Place casino (now Four Winds), it is the go-to local bar for gaming visitors and convention attendees staying downtown.

Death in the Afternoon is St. Louis's most creative cocktail bar — a Cherokee Street establishment whose extraordinary Prohibition-inspired cocktail menu and commitment to absinthe culture have earned it national recognition. Cherokee Street's extraordinary Latino heritage, concentration of independent businesses, and status as St. Louis's most authentically diverse neighborhood create the ideal environment for a bar as culturally adventurous as Death in the Afternoon.

Perennial Artisan Ales is St. Louis's most creative craft brewery — a South City institution whose remarkable barrel-aged stouts and experimental ales have earned national recognition. St. Louis's extraordinary brewing heritage (Anheuser-Busch created the world's largest brewery here) and Perennial's outstanding craft quality create a brewery taproom of genuine St. Louis craft beer significance.

Vin de Set is St. Louis's most beautiful rooftop restaurant and bar — a Lafayette Square venue with panoramic views of the St. Louis skyline and an extraordinary French wine list. Its combination of exceptional wine service, beautiful urban views, and the sophisticated culinary programming that makes St. Louis one of the American Midwest's most underrated dining cities creates one of Missouri's finest drinking experiences.
