Our Guidebook for St. Louis City
Food Scene
Highly recommend. Fantastic locally sourced coffee, great breakfast and lunch sandwiches, and can even get a beer or canned cocktail from their small but we'll selected options. Very welcoming vibe. very large and nicely set up patio.
if you have kids ages 0-6 you can enjoy this great food and drink over at the neighboring Urban Fort Play--we have a separate entry in our guidebook with more details, but it is an fun but overall low key admission based play space for young kids. Much less hectic then the larger destination spots

Warren's favorite local brewery. Uniquely situated. A fun and relaxed environment. Heads up that they do not stay open late. Darts, board games, etc. Amazingly knowledgeable folks: they love to answer your questions about their beer! No problem bringing the kids (they even keep some toys outside for them). Limited menu of sandwiches, soft pretzels, etc., which are all amazing.

Powell Hall reflects European elegance in the classic red, gold, and cream decor of the Wightman Grand Foyer, modeled after the royal chapel at Versailles. The stained-glass window in the front facade features an image of Saint Louis IX, King of France, on horseback-a spectacular sight on concert evenings, when it is illuminated. The genuine feeling of tradition throughout the hall is appropriate for the nation's second-oldest symphony orchestra. An acoustic treat.
