Best Live Music Restaurants in Downtown St. Louis

My experience at Beyond Sweet is always phenomenal. The service was top tier and the food even better. I invited two newcomers with me and they shared the same experience. Beyond Sweet never misses and it has become a weekly thing for me!! Pictured is the grilled red snapper and it was incredible!! Full of flavor. The fried snapper is also great!!

My parents were visiting from out of town and absolutely loved it here. We ordered multiple appetizers so they can sample everything. The Voodoo Shrimp was amazing as well as the Alligator and Shrimp Cheesecake. My dad loved the ambiance and has requested to go back next time they visit. Staff members were great as well! We had a wonderful time.

If you’re looking for an authentic French restaurant in St. Louis, Brasserie by Niche is it. The space is so charming - you really do feel like you have been transported to Paris. And the cuisine is simply superb. My server Abby was wonderful and took great care of me. I will definitely be going back soon.

Invited a group out during a conference. We intentionally had plenty of time. The bartender/server was solo on a quiet Tuesday dinner service; she was quick with drinks attentive. The chef was accommodating of an allergy in our group.

This weekend evening at dinner time when the local baseball game was on-going should have provided personalized and individualized care. However, with one bartender and one server (I so no food runner or assistants or managers either) the service was slow. When it happened, the server was marginal but the bartender, Toni, was absolutely fabulous! She not only made you feel welcome and appreciated, she made the BEST Paper Plane in the Universe! The mix of doos that we selected was well presented and tasty. The menu however is very small and Pennydrop is more of an upscale bar with a small bar menu as opposed to a full service restaurant with an amazing bar. When the baseball game finished and a crowd from the game flowed in, the service slowed even further and lines at the bar were much longer. With a few more staff members, the experience would have been maximized. Regardless of this, I will be back for my next Paper Plane before I head out of town.
