Happy New Year! Party Favors
Leslie D.

We visited Ballpark Village for the NYE Live! New Year's Eve St. Louis event. We stayed in a hotel downtown and walked over, but there is a huge pay parking lot there if you want to park on-site. When we entered, we were able to get out picture taken in a cute photo book that looked like a magazine cover. The main interior is huge and open with a stage, several bar and seating areas and large-screen TVs all around. Our special event package included all you could drink. There are a lot of drink options. The wine was not great but my boyfriend enjoyed the hard seltzers and we both enjoyed mixed drinks with Tito's and Deep Eddy's vodka. The people watching was very good. The live music was loud with room for dancing. I think if you came here to watch a baseball game on the big screens it would be a lot of fun.

Ballpark Village is a cool place to stop before or after a baseball game. It has so many screens to look at in case you are watching something other than baseball as well as many places to stop and get a drink. There are multiple restaurants attached of all different food genres. It feels like BPV is ever growing, each time we go there's something new which is fun. I think one of the best things they added was an outdoor area with a Jumbotron reflecting inside the stadium, so you could bring your pups and sit outside in the baseball atmosphere. Additionally, in my experience from working at Busch stadium, the seating area at the top of BPV offers a nice robust buffet inside as well as stadium vibes outside with multiple places to grab a drink.

Stopped in for lunch and this place is amazing. I would love to come here and drink some brews on game day. Bars are huge. This is a must see to capture the experience in person. Turkey burger and fries were excellent

There is a paid parking lot. We found parking easily. There was a live cover band and a host they were playing games like limbo. It is very lively. There are giant tvs displaying games. It was the middle of the afternoon and it was a lot of people there. We stopped at the host and sat immediately. I believe it was called Bally's. We were a large group so we needed two large booths. We were a big group and our server did a great job. We ordered nachos and tachos for the table. I had a chopped salad that was really good.

If you need to watch a big game, Ballpark Village near Busch Stadium in St. Louis is an ideal spot. It's perfect for the Super Bowl or World Series. We recently attended the VIP party for the Super Bowl. It was our 2nd year and it's always wonderful. It's a lively, sports-themed atmosphere with tons of restaurants, bars, and nightlife venues to enjoy while catching all the action. St. Louis has the best fans so it can get wild at times. I tried the mahi fish tacos! They were great! Always a find spot!

Stl street fest 2023 was a blast. Parking was very reasonable at $3.00/hr. Safe and secure on there lot was a definite win. Ticket included a drink (yay) This event had food trucks from all over letting you sample various foods . You had to buy vouchers which in turn spent like money. No food was over $5.00 so you could sample more at an affordable rate. Drinks were reg price after your initial free first drin Music, contests, and games were throughout and weather was beautiful, no complaints, I loved it !!!

Enjoyed ourselves here, visiting family. Lots to keep everyone entertained. Great food, drinks and service. Great place to hang out for all sizes and ages.highly recommend!

Every baseball stadium should have a spot like this. This is a nice spot that you will find across from Busch Stadium and during game days, the street between the two is closed to allow free access. The village is actually on the site of the old Busch Stadium. The Village has tons of commercial parking garages and metered street parking available. It is well maintained and if you look around, you will see markers showing where sections of old Busch stadium. You will find a stage wiith patio seating in the vicinity, an open artificial grass covered space, some bars and restaurants. You will also find the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum in this area. The area also has a few few photo ops that people can take advantage of I was not here during any game days, but I can only imagine how carzy this place could get during a game day with some nice weather. The Village is also the site of special events such as the Mad Tea Party Halloween Bash, STL Girl Network Happy Hour, Wicked Wine Walk, Ballpark Village Birthday Parties, and Freedom Fridays. It should be noted that visitors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and the area becomes 21 and over after 9PM. Certain events may require a cover charge to be admitted to the Village. This is a very hip and trendy area with some very nice eateries. It is a decent time even in the absence of a game or special event. It is central located near most downtown attractions and is a good place to make a pit stop.

I visited this venue to watch the Super Bowl, and it was completely packed. It's an excellent place for watching sports, offering great food and a wide variety of drinks. The staff are prompt and efficient. I highly recommend this location!

Cool area

We LOVED walking around baseball village. We came midday so it was a ghost town for the most part. On a game day, I'm sure this area is PACKED. There are so many great restaurants and sites to see here. Our kids loved running the bases of the location of the old Cardinals stadium. We could have explored for way longer than we did but unfortunately, this visit was short. HOUSTON ASTROS NEED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS NEXT TO OUR STADIUM!!!! Would LOVE to come back with more time and stay longer!!!

This is an impressive infrastructure around the Cardinals baseball stadium. Plenty of shopping and dining and hotels with easy parking. We spent an entire day here to see the Gateway Arch and a Cardinals game and parked right in front for about 8 hours. We were validated by eating inside the village and only paid $12 for the parking! Woo, a win! Lots of Cardinal's swag to be found here if you are in need of some and a great and fun way to spend an evening in St. Louis. The vibe here is fun and easygoing and I enjoyed wandering around and seeing all the sights.

This place was SO nice! Very much a surprise as we walked over from the Aquarium to watch the…read moreOlympics. It was decorated all out for the Olympics and they have several comfy couch areas which were perfect for us with our toddler who does not want to sit still... We spent a few hours here and had some appetizers and drinks. We had the pub pretzel, pickle chips, fried cheese and soup. All were out quickly and very good. The pretzel was SO good! Served with mustard and warm cheese for dipping and it's huge. Service was friendly and fast. Bathrooms are spacious and new and clean with a nice large stall for baby changing. It wasn't crowded in the middle of a day on Friday so, pleasant to watch the game with a small group. I'm sure it can get really busy and rowdy during sports events downtown. All in all, new and comfy and a place I can see us coming often.

It doesn't make sense to eat a heavy meal mere minutes before running a 5K downtown, but I didn't…read morelet that stop me from doing just that yesterday evening. My coworkers, who also ran, insisted on meeting up here. They didn't really run, they walked. I can't walk a 5K, because pull your head out of your ass. I could have ordered something light, but I figured I'd go in, since I won't be returning. I don't have the means or the interest to catch a soccer game at the nearby stadium, and even if I did, I heard they've got good food vendors. What do I need with this place? Depending on how much they want for beer across the street, it might make sense to pregame here, especially if they're pulling the same BS they pull at Riverport where the police roam the parking lot and try to prevent you from drinking in your car, as one does. My little brother's running group had a function here after a marathon I ran a few weeks ago. Free food and drinks. I'm not even a member of that group, but I was dressed in running attire and wearing a medal. You best believe I got my drink on. Did it aid in my recovery? No. No, it did not. I got the sense that they had busboys and randos from off the street running orders and that this place might not be fully staffed except for on game day. That was also the case yesterday evening. The guy waiting our table obviously didn't know what he was doing, but he seemed chill and ultimately got the job done. Hopefully my boss left him a tip. The menu consists of standard sports bar fare, including two sandwiches that purport to feature meat from the Carnegie Deli. I found this highly improbable, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to join the ranks of Bowzer from Sha Na Na and Arthur Fonzarelli. This may have been my one opportunity in life. You can get either a basic pastrami on rye, for purists, or people with certain dietary restrictions, or the Reuben. I of course went with the latter. I found it surprisingly neat, without too much sauerkraut, thousand island dressing and what have you, to where it gets all sloppy. The slices of meat were uniform to the point where I was concerned, but damn it if it wasn't moist and flavorful. Nullus. It's pastrami, so it's supposed to be processed anyway. It comes with your choice of fries, chips or some sort of salad. For chips, you can get Red Hot Riplets, which is nice for tourists. It'll save them from having to go to a Schnucks. We should all be lucky. I went with the fries, for the sake of citizen food journalism. Surprisingly, these were shoestring fries, not unlike at a Steak 'n Shake. You don't see that as often these days. Were they great? No. But it was still kinda neat that they had them. Really, you're just going here because it's either across the street from the soccer stadium or (I think) built into Union Station. In that sense, it's almost like they're doing you a favor by offering food that's not half bad. What else are you going to do, try to go drink in your car?

Salt and Smoke is soooo good!…read more I got a side dish and an appetizer and they both delivered! My favorite thing at a BBQ restaurant is trying their BBQ sauces with french fries. So I ordered a side of french fries which were beef fat fries giving it a unique flavor. The titles for the BBQ sauces had me googling them to ensure they weren't too spicey, even with the titles the spice levels weren't too high. I tried them all and settled on Hotangy. I also got the toasted Ravioli which is a must have! It's so unique with the flavors and best fresh! Service: Excellent! My waitress was very attentive and kept my water filled. Reservations Needed: It seems like walk in only. Happy Hour: Available on weekdays from 3pm to 6pm (I came outside this window). Outdoor Seating: There's a patio outside with some seating Parking: Downtown garage and street parking

I hate to give it three stars because my husband and I used to be big fans…read more We lived in University City for a couple years when we first moved here, so we were avid Delmar people. And therefore, Salt & Smoke was a regular treat for us. Who doesn't love those giant popovers? But back then, there was only the one location. Eating here was an experience. You sat down and KNEW it was going to take an hour and a half because everything was made fresh. It's not like that anymore. And to be completely honest, we were in somewhat of a rush so I did appreciate that everything came our quick, but.... The meats had obviously been sitting around for awhile and not fresh. The mac n cheese had that great flavor I remember, but again, I could tell it wasn't fresh. And the biggest dissapoinment, which is what I was looking forward to, was the popover. It was cold. And had obviously been sitting around all day. We sat at the bar and service was great. The bartender was fantastic, and took really good care of us. Food was super quick. But it seems they've given up quality for quantity and time.
