I love this place. Open layout, graffiti walls, a couple stages, and music. Went for a vendor event…read morethat was cowgirl disco themed and it did not disappoint! 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.

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]

There are multiple options as far as seating. Each one is different from the next. The oysters are a must, take your pick how you want to try them but I would recommend the Oysters NOLA and the Voodoo Po'boy. The Sazerac is on the sweet side but don't let that dissuade you. Worth it. 100%.

Service was fine. Our waiter did a good job, just sort of lacked on the personality front. That is always super important to me and that's my reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I really tried to get her to engage but she seemed uninterested. Aside from that, everything was great!

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.

The view from any seat is great. Even in the "nosebleeds," you're not far from the stage. The sound is outstanding. The staff are always friendly. Even when getting busted sneaking liquor in, they were so nice, LOL! Bathrooms are clean and plentiful. The bar? Expensive. I mean, expect to pay concert venue prices. Just club soda is even $4. They will, however, let you bring food in or even order food to the venue. Parking can be tricky along Delmar. There is a parking lot behind the venue that I recommend. Love this place for concerts and absolutely recommend seeing a show here.

It's a pretty good venue for a concert -- the wait staff was on top of things and there was plenty…read moreof parking for the show I was at. The most important parts of a concert venue to me is sound and the view. Sound was great for the opener and main performance. The view can be obstructed depending where you are. Shows are general admission -- there is some seating but more standing room. We were able to grab a table & seats though and even though we were behind people in standing room only, the elevation of the floor where we were made it easy to enjoy the show while seated. I like the availability of a patio during the show though honestly it seemed pretty well claimed by smokers LOL.

They have an ample amount of parking and a nice outdoor space so you can escape the room if it gets too hot. They had a cooler or water ready to go which was smart since people were dancing and getting hot. The bar staff were great and super easy to talk to! Drinks were a reasonable price and decently strong. Cool venue! Excited to go back for future concerts!

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.

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.

The night I visited they had two bands playing, one on the earlier side and one later. The acoustics and the sight line from where I was sitting to the stage was good.
