There's also a patio outside that would be awesome to stop at before or after a baseball game. A nice view of the arch included ! Drinks looked good although we kept it pretty basic on our orders.. it did not break the bank though, it was reasonable and did not take long to get served. It was an awesome spot to hang out for a while with pretty easy street parking. I can imagine if downtown was busy it'd be harder to find street parking but they did have paid lots with attendants so of course that'd be an option too.

We were able to get a table on the patio where there's live music. Unfortunately, there wasn't anyone playing while we were there. There had been music earlier and there would be some later, but not in the time we were there. Maybe next time! Our server was Anya and she was great! We placed drink orders and then had the tough choice of deciding what we were going to eat. We decided to start with the Alligator Sausage & Shrimp Cheesecake. Sounds weird, but it's delicious! It is in no way a traditional cheesecake. I've added a photo of it, but it was after I had already cut it up. It comes out looking like a piece of pie. I looked at the menu and went to my fave - Shrimp Voodoo Tacos. They were so good! It came with a "side" of Jambalaya. The side was a full dinner portion! In fact, I was so full, I brought the whole serving home and my husband had it for dinner and it filled him up. He got the Fried Oysters. It's a great place for people watching. The last time we were there, a woman walked in with a birdcage and bird. You don't see that every day in a restaurant! The place is just good food, good drinks, and good vibes. We'll definitely be back!

The more I sat here, the more it felt a bit like Nashville *used* to feel 10-15 years back. Not packed to the gills, but lively and fun with a rotation of music throughout the week. The service was great which is always such an added bonus when bellying up to the bar. Now I'm not from STL but I feel like it's a strong beer city, and their tap list definitely backed that up. Great spot if you like live music, highly recommend and I'd go back for sure.

I was really excited to find this place, because my husband likes Blues music, and on that Friday night a Blues band called Coldwater Creek was playing. We called another couple that we do things with pretty often and they met us at the bar. It's kind of a dive bar, but in the best possible way. We loved the whole vibe of the place. In terms of food, they only have frozen pizzas, but the pizzas were good. They also have slot machines and pinball. By the time the band started, the place was getting pretty packed, so we were really glad we got there as early as we did. The band was phenomenal. The young front man was absolutely amazing on vocals and he played lead guitar like nobody I've ever seen. It was just a wonderful night all around, and we will definitely be back.

Over the years, I've been to The Pageant a few times for shows. The last show was in May of 2026. I…read moretraveled out to see Dayseeker, Northlane, Wind Walkers, and Sace6. I've never been to a bad show here. It also helps that there are other things to do and eat in the area. You want a date night rock show? This area is perfect for that. I'm prompted to this review because this last show was the first time I've sit up top. Results may vary from venue to venue when it comes to sitting up top. I'm not sure but in the future, I might opt to sit up top for every show. Sometimes you run the risk of the sound bouncing off back walls and ceilings which can make things miserable if you're catching the sound from multiple directions. I'm happy to report the sound is contained in this venue. To begin, all 4 of these bands have perfected their live sound. That definitely helps in small and large venues alike. If any of your favorites roll through here, you owe it to yourself to attend. The only peeve I had this time was the merch. It's a bit odd how this venue handles merch. There were multiple locations for the merch inside the venue. Dayseeker merch was in the big room up front but my question... why not put all the acts in one room? they were spread out which also led to mass confusion with multiple long lines snaking and intersecting with each other. Aside from that, A+ venue. Will continue visiting in the future.

This music and entertainment venue has new life…read more The venue now has seats on the lower level that were only for special shows. I would always call the box office to be sure of the layout before buying tickets. I saw Qveen Herby and Thot Squad (May 20th) and it was a safe vibe of all types of people. The check in process was smooth and someone helped me to my seat up stairs. I enjoyed the show but my accessible seat kind of sucked because once folks stood up I couldn't see. I asked some other people to help me be a mood killer and kindly ask others to sit down, but the venue should adjust those seats one more time. Also they should go back to just being a smoking building because everyone was vaping and the smell of smoke and marijuana was very pronounced! Either crack down hard or let the people smoke it up. Accessibility note: there is not enough parking so get an uber or pray to the parking goddesses. There is stepless entry but if your seat is upstairs, you will need a proper staff member to key in the elevator for you. I waited over 10 minutes for assistance (they bought me a drink tomorrow ease that soreness). Bring headphones or ear plugs as the whole suite booms! Don't be afraid to tell folks down in front because you cannot see.

I was disappointed that when we went to the table at the top of the stairs to check in, we were told that since my daughter was under 21, there was a $2 CASH upcharge for her. I now see that's listed on their website (I didn't purchase the tickets). After making it through security (which was tougher than going through TSA), we made it down to the venue. The opener was already performing. We found our spot to stand for the evening. We were right up by the stage. The venue is very intimate. When the show was over, we were hoping to get a picture with the artist as he had been selling merch at the table when we arrived. The security guard announced that the venue was closing in 5 minutes. He then looked at my daughter (with the 2 huge permanent marker Xs on her hands and loudly said "you have to leave NOW!" We were dumbfounded. She was one of only 3 under 21 folks in attendance. What if we wanted to purchase a shirt, CD or sticker from the artist? Based on this interaction alone, I might not visit this venue again. There are plenty of other live shows happening on the loop that I can patronize.

Manchester Avenue seems to carry the energy, a long run of neon and murals and patios. I saw rainbow flags and dive bars and a few spots that seem just a little scruffy around the edges that keep the place from turning into a theme park version of itself. I have been here on foot and by car. By car, the parking was easy enough as long as you're aware of the hydrants and driveways so you don't block either. On food, the blocks are short and the sidewalks are wide enough that you never feel squeezed. The neighborhood feels expressive and welcoming, like it wants you to see the art, feel the music and take in the color. If I was ever looking to move back into a city, I'd be looking at places in this part of Saint Louis. [Review 370 of 2026 - 494 in Missouri - 25556 overall]
