Unlike some other neighborhoods that are either up-and-coming or on-the-way-out or simply trying to…read morehard, The Grove feels like one of those Saint Louis neighborhoods that knows what it wants to be and leans into it with confidence. 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]

Total Nashville vibes. Such a cool spot with two separate rooms--one for dancing and another with…read morethe bar--so you can easily pop over for a drink without having to shout over the music. Drink prices are great, and the band was incredible. We got there right before 9 to catch their set, and they played straight through until midnight, never stopping ONCE! They took requests from people on the dance floor, and made the whole place come alive.

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.

Located on the northern part of The Hill neighborhood, it's a welcoming community space with one of the best and most diverse beverage selections in town. Pops Blue Moon is also host to the "Bluebeat at the Blue Moon" ska-rocksteady-reggae matinee record spin every 2nd Saturday of each month from 1:00-4:00pm. Although this day/time is outside of the bar's standard business hours, it happens every month and all are welcome and it's always a free event.

The staff... wow.. another story.. Outside bar had an AMAZING waitress, Jess, that truely made our nights and was so awesome and fun. Jess deserves a raise and if you go to Venice cafe avoid literally any bar tender except for Jess. The old lady bar tender on inside bar took two extra dollars from me (I guess thinking I wasn't gonna tip? ) despite me leaving three on the bar and me pointing it out to her. Then a very very large brown haired curly bearded man completely ignored me at the bar, at like 4pm it was me standing directly in front of the bar by myself while he had co convos and gave bar backs shots. I couldn't have made this up.. I couldn't think of anything to even say to address that wasnt not kind or out of pocket so I left. It was an unreal experience and from what I've heard about management just from patrons there they wouldn't care anyway, it was alienating and gross behavior. Venice cafe had a good reputation and it was on my list forever, but I've already shared with more of my groups that we can go somewhere else and be treated much better. I'd second guess this option unless Jess is working outside in the bar.

Venice Café is not just a place -- it's an experience. From…read morethe moment you walk in, you can tell this spot is different. The space is eclectic, artsy, and full of personality. It feels creative, fun, and unlike anywhere else. They had live music while we were there, which made the whole experience even better. One thing to note: it's cash only, so make sure you come prepared. This is the kind of place you go for the vibe, the music, and a good time -- not just the food. Highly recommend if you're looking for something unique and memorable in St. Louis.

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.

It could sure use a good cleaning. Pretty dirty place, was glad the lights were low. Have been there before where they actually had tables and chairs for the concerts.
