“Visited St. Louis for a few days, and ended up going to BarK multiple times. The staff is extremely friendly, and food was also very good. It’s a fun place whether you bring your dogs, or just go hang out.”
“This place does not get enough recognition! Zoomies has lots of food, beverage, and treat options, I get something new each time! I also love strolling around the pet shop. Lots of fun treats for pups too. The dog park could use a little updating, but it's still always a great time for us!”
“My favorite place in all of Forest Park. It is a lovely, open air pavilion that has played hosts to weddings and festivals and any number of events. It overlooks a pretty water fall and pool and, across the way, The Boat House restaurant and boat rental and one of the park's lakes. It's very close to the Saint Louis Zoo, so you can hear the zoo's train whistle sometimes. It's a peaceful spot.”
“FREE admission for the zoo, always! Excellent place to take your family.The Animals Aglow is an awesome light experience everyone should see. It's a temporary exhibit so don't miss it!”

3015 Locust St, St. Louis“Our guests raved about how great the service was, how nice everyone was, and how pretty the venue was - really had a beautiful wedding here! Jordan and Raven were clutch in the weeks leading up to the event.”
“Always fun ever since I was a small girl. Nostalgia is great not much has changed. Have been here for several different venues in my adult years and always a great time.”
“Our October wedding held it's reception at the beautiful indoor/outdoor space at Mad Art. We had 140 guests in attendance and the space more than accommodated dining and dancing. Kelsey and Ron are awesome! They provided a personal, curated service from our first visit to view the space to our incredible tasting to some last minute decorating hours before the reception. This old jail has rustic and modern character, great art displays, and a staff that provides a royal treatment. Definitely consider Mad Art as an elite venue for your event hosting needs!”
“We had my daughter's wedding here and it was fantastic. Great atmosphere, great service, beautiful set up! Patty was wonderful to work with and nothing fell through the cracks. I would highly recommend for someone getting married that wants a great place that has a unique feel and flow.”
“Stop what you’re doing, because you’ve found your caterer! We got married at the Boo Cat Club and the Christy was on the list of their preferred vendors. We initially took a liking to them simply because they were the cheapest by a landslide. Then we had our tasting and it was a no brainer. The food at our reception was even better than the tasting. We had a slight issue with cake plates and they solved it without a second thought - pretty much saving the day. They were flexible and the staff were so kind. Thank you so much!”
“Amazing venue. Beautiful interior and wood work. Highly reasonable pricing. The owner and his daughter are very easy to work with and the space is perfect for events. Has a prep space for those looking for an affordable diy space.”
“We photographed an engagement party at Glen Echo Country Club and it was very nice. The staff members were pleasant, the atmosphere felt high-end and it seemed like all the family and friends were having a great time. Check out Glen Echo Country Club for your next event!Photos by: @joshandlindseyphoto”
“Wow! We decided to end our anniversary outings with our first trip to Circus Flora at the Big Top and it totally didn't disappoint! We got to see Undercover on opening night, bravo guys especially to The Flying Archers! Keep up the effort!The theme and skill involved was on point. Also it was hilarious!We sat in the second row which was totally worth it! However the place is small so any seat is a good seat I think.Tix were a little hard to find on their website but once you find the right webpage it's simple. Please go support!”
10AM - 6PM
5736 Dr Martin Luther King Dr, St. Louis“This would be an excellent location for parties, showers, or seminars/workshops.I was recently there for a funeral repast. From the looks of things, it could easily seat 150 people to 175. There is ample signage out front. Listed in Google, there is a full bar across the back, large round tables are available, and the place has nice restrooms, clean, well maintained.There is fenced-in, off street parking, and it looks to be fully wheelchair accessible. There are no stairs or steep inclines to get in from the outside. So, it would make a great local community networking spot, or place to conduct an Understanding Medicare or Senior Safe-money Workshop.”
“We had our wedding reception at the Four Seas, and it couldn’t have gone better! The staff was so kind and helpful, the food was delicious, and the space was beautiful. Such a great venue!”
“What a hidden gem!!! This venue is completely underrated! I had no idea it existed before last night. Saw Ed Bassmaster and it seemed like the perfect size venue. Once we got inside it opened up to this huge room; seats and tall tables were set up on the floor, the balcony had some open rail seating, but also some VIP areas that were made out of shopping containers!There was a merch stand, a bar with a ton of drink options, a vending machine and a little arcade! Bathrooms were clean also. Every staff member was so nice and welcoming. Bartenders were quick! Such a cool vibe.”
“We had my Dad's birthday party here and it was great. The staff did wonderful job in preparation for the party and during the event. The layout allowed for people that didn't want to bowl have a place to hangout and we were able to do Karaoke.”
“This place is awesome. Ted (community manager) makes it 10X awesome when he smiles at you and welcomes you with totally positive energy every single day. Without fail ?”
“I just found Sierra's Tik Tok account and I just love her videos! My kids were invited to a birthday party at Grandma's playground months ago and my kids had so much fun. The variety of toys was awesome. The bathrooms were so clean. I do not remember the name of the women on staff that day but she was so kind. I will recommend this place to everyone!”

10300 Lake Bluff Dr, St. Louis“We had a Celebration of Life Memorial at the Lakeside Conference Center a few months ago. Price was competitive. Place was perfect. Everything was ready when it needed to be. What made it so easy was working with their Event Coordinator, Cindy. She was great! She was even able to troubleshoot an issue with the caterer before we got there that saved the day. We would recommend this place.”
“As a photographer, Andre's has always made my job so easy over the years. Plenty of room for small to large weddings, my last wedding here was rather large and it was no problem at all for them at all. The bar off to the side of the dance floor is in a great spot and the patio is always nice as well whether it's being used for a ceremony or just to mingle with guests. Definitely give them a look!instagram: @batchelorphoto”

2300 Edwards St, St. Louis“I went to Rose of the Hill for a luncheon with my fellow high school seniors during my senior year of high school in the spring of 2011. It’s a wonderful place to dine and the teachers gave out awards to certain students including me. I totally recommend this place for special occasions.”

25 Progress Pkwy, Maryland Heights“Best hotel I've stayed at in this area! Friendly, welcoming service. Everything is VERY clean and quiet. Perfect place to land during travel.
Nearby activities: Great restaurant, shopping and entertainment area across the street!
Safety: Very safe. This is my #1 and includes feeling safe because the room is very clean and fresh. Safe area to walk around. Hotel grounds nice too.
Food & drinks: Happy Hour at the hotel! And plenty of mice bars and restaurants nearby.”
“Our experience with Catering St. Louis & City Cottage was amazing. I can't recommend enough. We booked them for our small wedding, and had our ceremony & reception both at City Cottage (guest count was around 65). Everyone loved the food, the staff, and the environment. I will admit the location was a little iffy at first, but they have security on site the whole time for the parking lot & the party. It was so perfect - and for the guest count we had, it felt like the perfect space.Photos by The Marions”
“Super friendly and helpful owner who helped me find just what I was looking for! I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for recyclables for a project or love to look for treasures that someone else no longer needed.”
“We have been going here for many years & the fish is always amazing. The sides are also very good. The workers are friendly & we love sitting on the covered deck (at least when it's not 100 outside.)”
“A fun place to play bingo! It's not a lot to play all games, like $15.00 and we won a jack pot that we had to split 4 ways (4winners) our take was $66.00. A great fun evening out & great parking!”
“Friendly folks and Plenty of community involvement. As an ex smoker, I find the inside of the bar itself a bit hard to take. With regard to the cigarette odor. That's the only complaint though.”
10AM - 4PM
3515 N Lindbergh Blvd, St Ann“We had my grandmother's repast there. There is ample parking and the room we had was nice. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner but overall I was very pleased with the location and amenities.”
“The venue was perfect! Rented for a bridal shower and it couldn't have gone better! We had about 40 people, gifts, and food, and it was a perfect amount of space. Neal was great to work with, very kind and attentive! Everyone had a wonderful time and we will be back!”
