Big Bang


Open tilll 3a
807 North 2nd Street
St. Louis, MO 63102
+1 314 241 1754
http://www.thebigbangbar.com
Let your hair down, unwind or dance till the wee hours of the morning. The thumping live music is what makes this place one of the most popular in St. Louis. The centre of attraction are the two performers on baby-grand pianos. The crowd often rocks till 3a and don't be surprised if your waiter gets into the mood and shows off a few moves of his own. This is not a congested space, so you'll find ample room by the two bars and alfresco dinner seating.

Have A Nice Day Cafe


Psychedelic 70s scene
500 St. Louis Union Station
St. Louis, MO 63103
+1 314 436 7311
While in the downtown area, step back in time to the psychedelic 70s and shake a groove in this funky retro café. Among the fun and frolicking, however, there are some rules, including a dress code that requires shirts to be tucked in. Crowds of college students frequent this establishment, but do not be surprised to see a grandma or grandpa here, too. This is a popular straight café but is also a hangout among some of the gay/lesbian crowd.

A menu of tasty American dishes awaits the hungry visitor. While the list of items is not long, the quality makes up for the lack of quantity. The kitchen serves a variety of appetizers ($2-5), burgers ($4), sandwiches ($4) and salads ($3), and there is even a kids' menu. There are two bars that resemble huts from Gilligan's Island and serve a wonderful KOOL-AID® and vodka mix.

Kearbey's


Former Playboy Club open for drinking & dancing
3914 Lindell Blvd
St. Louis, MO 63108
+1 314 533 0101
Since 1998, this bar has been hopping in the space of St. Louis' old Playboy Club. It features a downstairs dance floor as well as an upstairs one that offers a view of the crowd below. The dance floors are not large but are spacious enough to offer a good time. The lounge areas are great for relaxing and sipping on a beer or cocktail. Drinks are plentiful and average $6-7.

Kearbey's is also one of the few places of its type in the area that accepts travelers cheques. It is a popular hangout and party spot for the college crowd, and due to the large crowds, it is best to get here early. Parking space is scarce as well, although this fact does not keep the people from coming back!

Wednesday is college night; guests must be 18 to get in and 21 to drink.

Red Sea


Letting it all hang out
6511 Delmar Blvd
St. Louis, MO 63130
+1 314 863 0099
The Red Sea is a fun place to go for live music, belly dancing and eating with your hands. It is the only place in St. Louis to features regular belly dancing. It serves its dishes in the Ethiopian tradition, without utensils; patrons use injira (flat bread) to rake up the meat and vegetables and mop the juices of the stews. The specialty here is lamb stew, but there are also many vegetarian entrées. For the adventurous, Monday is jam session night. The Sahara Sand Belly Dancers perform every other Sunday beginning at 9pm; admission is $3.
