Nightclubs in St. Louis

Blueberry Hill is one of America's most beloved music venues and restaurants — a St. Louis Loop institution where Chuck Berry (who grew up in St. Louis) played monthly concerts from 1996 until his death in 2017. Blueberry Hill's extraordinary connection to the birthplace of rock and roll (Chuck Berry invented the guitar riff and stage performance style of rock music in St. Louis) creates a music venue of genuine American rock history significance.

The Delmar Loop in St. Louis is one of America's most celebrated entertainment streets — a University City corridor that Joe Edwards has been developing since the 1970s with the Blueberry Hill restaurant, the Pageant theater, and dozens of independent bars and restaurants. The Loop's extraordinary concentration of independent businesses, its Walk of Fame celebrating St. Louis legends from Chuck Berry to Miles Davis, and its multicultural energy make it Missouri's most distinctive entertainment district.

The Firebird is St. Louis's most respected live music venue — a Midtown Arts District club presenting indie rock, alternative, and emerging artists in an intimate setting that serves as the essential small venue for St. Louis's passionate music community. Its consistent booking of artists on the verge of national breakthrough has made it the most talent-forward venue in a city with extraordinary musical heritage from Chuck Berry to Miles Davis.

St. Louis's Laclede's Landing entertainment district presents the most historic setting for nightlife in Missouri — a cobblestone riverfront district of 19th-century warehouses beneath the Gateway Arch where blues, rock, and DJ entertainment serve the Mississippi Gateway city's entertainment community. St. Louis's position at the gateway to the American West creates an entertainment culture shaped by the city's historic role as the jumping-off point for westward expansion.
