Bars, Clubs, Live Music & Nightlife in St.Louis

Did you know there are more working blues musicians in St. Louis than any place else in the world? And visitors are welcome to pull up a chair, sit side-by-side with the locals and take it all in - every last mournful, soulful, you-done-me-wrong note of it.
But wait, there's more. Jazz, Latin, alternative, world beat, techno, rock and musical styles too new to name. If it's hip, it's on stage in St. Louis' booming music clubs.
To find out which bands are playing while you're in town, pick up a copy of The Riverfront Times, available free of charge in the Visitor Information Centers in Kiener Plaza or at America's Center and in many restaurants, clubs and public buildings throughout St. Louis. The "Get Out" section of the Thursday St. Louis Post-Dispatch also carries an up-to-date listing of bands and clubs each week.
