  • African Palace Bar & Grill
    [Map]
    4005 Seven Hills Dr.
    Florissant, MO 63033
    314-921-4600
    http://www.africanpalace.us
  • Ameristar Casino-Bottleneck Blues Bar
    [Map]
    1 Ameristar Blvd.
    St. Charles, MO 63301
    636-940-4300
    http://www.ameristarcasinos.com/stcharles/index.asp
    Ameristar Casino’s premier entertainment venue has a quality that will appeal as much to Grandpa as to newly 21 gamblers. The setup is reminiscent of a saloon -- but with bottle-cap mosaics on every table and chair and Christmas lights hanging from rusted brass chandeliers, the bar has irresistible kitsch appeal. From the back booths to the side bars to the front tables, there ain’t a bad seat in the house, so there’s always a good view of both local and national blues bands, along with various comedians making the rounds.
  • Anthony's Bar
    [Map]
    10 S Broadway
    St. Louis, MO 63102
    314-231-7007
  • Argosy Casino - Alton
    [Map]
    219 Piasa St.
    Alton, IL 62002
    1-800-711-4263
    http://www.pngaming.com
    Located on the banks of the Mississippi in historic Alton, IL Argosy Casino is one of the area's premier gaming and entertainment facilites. The casino hosts everything from popular stand-up comedy to legends of classic rock, soul and R&B.
  • Atomic Cowboy
    [Map]
    4140 Manchester Ave.
    St. Louis, MO 63110
    314-775-0775
    http://www.atomic-cowboy.com
    Mod furniture, funky lighting, retro artwork, exposed brick and a groovy ambiance make Atomic Cowboy one of the coolest bars in St. Louis. Their new (and very improved) location in the heart of the Manchester Avenue “gayborhood” provides ample room for all sexualities to enjoy nightly house beats, DJs and the occasional art opening. The patio features its own bar to complement an outdoor stage -- and to top it all off, the Cowboy has a 3 a.m. license.
  • Backstreet Jazz & Blues
    [Map]
    610 West Port Plaza
    Maryland Heights, MO 63146
    314-878-5800
    http://www.backstreetclub.com
    We can’t quite vouch for Backstreet being St. Louis’ best venue for jazz and blues, but it’s certainly the best place west of Jefferson. Its Westport Plaza location makes Backstreet an unlikely spot for regulars, and most of the crowds tend to pour in post-Funny Bone. Local acts such as the Soulard Blues Band, Joe Marlotti and Buffalo Bob fill this small, dark space with great music even when it’s not full of people.
  • Baha Rock Club
    [Map]
    305 N. Main
    St. Charles, MO 63301
    636-949-0466
    http://www.baharockclub.com
    Situated on St. Charles’ crowd-friendly Main Street, the Baha Rock Club has a picture window to showcase its rocking talent (i.e., amped-up music emanates through the pane). The club itself has a friendly feel: a spacious dive complete with palm tree décor, bar games and its share of St. Charles regulars. Baha hosts an original music night on Tuesdays, Ladies Night (free drinks!) on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and live local rock shows on Fridays and Saturdays. But no matter the night, be sure to wear some comfortable shoes -- because this is one crowd that likes to get busy.
  • Bar Italia (Luna Lounge)
    [Map]
    13 Maryland Plz
    St. Louis, MO 63108
    314-361-7010
    http://www.baritaliastl.com/luna.htm
    Given the sophistication of Bar Italia, it comes as no surprise that the late-night hotspot adjacent to it, Luna Lounge, sits demurely behind a velvet curtain. Luxurious without being stuffy, this upscale bar offers unobtrusive jazz to complement the swank surroundings – although after sampling a few of the dizzyingly delicious European-inspired beverages from behind the bar, you may just find yourself gleefully singing along.
  • Bar Louie
    [Map]
    14 Maryland Plaza
    St. Louis, MO 63108
    314-678-3385
    http://www.barlouiestl.com
    Like nearby hotspots Drunken Fish and Sub Zero, the Central West End outpost of chain restaurant Bar Louie is suitable to pump up the jams. Although the décor pays homage to Louis Armstrong, loud Top 40 music actually overwhelms the bar. Keeping with the upscale-yet-urban motif is fancy mosaic tiling and wooden walls punctuated with plasma televisions to project Cardinals games. The oversized tables and circular booths provide plenty of room for rocking out while sipping a signature martini.
  • BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups
    [Map]
    700 S. Broadway
    St. Louis, MO 63102
    314-436-5222
    http://www.bbsjazzbluessoups.com
    The B.B. in question here is blues giant B.B. King, so expectations are high when one ventures into this well-known establishment. A photo wall of local and national blues greats -- including Johnnie Johnson, Bennie Smith, Ike Turner and Fontella Bass -- greets you as you walk in. The bar runs about half the length of the narrow building, and the wider back room allows plenty of space for sit-down diners to enjoy some of St. Louis’ best local and touring blues acts, from big bands to acoustic blues.
  • Beale on Broadway
    [Map]
    701 S. Broadway
    St. Louis, MO 63102
    314-621-7880
    http://www.bealeonbroadway.com
    Taking its name from Memphis’ famed Beale Street, this small, boxy club has a little bit of every Southern river city in its hardwood and brick. Red track lighting runs along the base of the bar, Mardi Gras masks are pinned to the walls, and a wooden piano sits by the entrance, just begging to be played. Plenty of canned blues fill the room when the live music takes time off, and in the summer an outdoor patio and bar easily double the venue’s capacity.
  • Big Bang
    [Map]
    807 N. Second St.
    St. Louis, MO 63102
    314-241-2264
    http://www.thebigbangbar.com
    The Big Bang is exactly what it should be: a big square room with plenty of tables and chairs and a saloon-style bar with plenty of options. A slightly elevated stage is home to two pianos, which your hosts for the evening will caress, bang and tickle until everyone in the audience has been made fun of or heard their fill of Bon Jovi and Billy Joel. Don't forget to leave a tip with your song requests!
  • Big Daddy's
    [Map]
    132 N. Main
    Edwardsville, IL 62025
    618-656-9706
    http://www.bigdaddystl.com
    Vanzo’s is not a boozy bar – in fact, it refuses to serve Long Island Iced Teas – but rather a haunt for music enthusiasts who like their country boogie with a bit of beer on the side. It’s low-key and intimate, with poker-sized tables packing in patrons and a small-fry cookery to challenge the arteries. While the eats are cheap, it’s the camaraderie that counts: The dance floor is small, but the customers are so loyal that they don’t mind bumping elbows with newfound friends.
  • Big Muddy
    [Map]
    204 State St.
    Alton, IL 62002
    618-463-1095
    This downtown Alton mainstay is a converted townhouse, which explains why it feels so homey: Picture windows look out onto State Street, friendly bartenders sling drinks, and the venue’s back room even resembles a renovated den. The audience packs into the latter’s cozy booths and tables nightly as musicians grace the stage, performing everything from jazz to jam sessions. The crowd is attentive and the acoustics amazing; you may just find yourself with a second home.
  • Blue Note
    [Map]
    17 N Ninth St.
    Columbia, MO 65201
    573-874-1944
    http://www.thebluenote.com
    The Blue Note used to be a movie theater, and it feels like it, with plenty of floor space, a high-set stage, and tiered seating for the less physical in the crowd. Its reputation is the thing of music myth, and the storied stage continues to draw big names that would rather play a guaranteed college crowd than take their chances in St. Louis. It's a haul, but at the end of the night, the Blue Note is more than worth the drive.
  • Blue Sky Café & Bar
    [Map]
    9999 Winghaven Blvd.
    O'Fallon, MO 63366
    http://www.blueskycafeandbar.com
    Blue Sky is in some sense a standard bar, what with its dark oak booths and a loaded selection of liquids. But the room’s open-aired nature separates it from the pack. Blue Sky is so spacious, it’s easy to escape to your own corner for conversation and cointreau -- even when the bar is hosting one of its famous Thursday-night karaoke competitions. It also has a weather-permitting patio with umbrellas and rope lights, so patrons can enjoy the night sky under the stars.
  • Blueberry Hill
    [Map]
    6504 Delmar Blvd.
    University City, MO 63130
    314-727-4444
    http://www.blueberryhill.com
    Sprawling, crowded, loud, dark and decorated with more St. Louis sports and music kitsch than Joe Edwards’ garage, Blueberry Hill is nothing short of an institution. The building spans an entire block and also houses a dart room and two separate downstairs venues: the Elvis Room, which features weekly karaoke, and the Duck Room, which many a local and national touring rock act has packed. Rock'n Roll godfather and St. Louis native Chuck Berry even makes regular appearances at the venue which is named for his infamous "duck walk".
  • Blues City Deli
    [Map]
    2438 McNair Ave.
    St. Louis, MO 63104
    314-773-8225
    http://www.bluescitydeli.com
    Blues City Deli is known first for its comfortable neighborhood vibe and delectable variety of sandwiches but on Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons some of the city's best musicians take to its tiny stage and transform the south city haunt into a jumpin' blues venue. It's a great place to grab a quick bite, kick back with a cold beer and soak in some quality local music.
  • Boathouse
    [Map]
    6101 Government Dr.
    St. Louis, MO 63112
    314-367-2224
    http://www.boathouseforestpark.com
    Nestled on a picturesque lake in Forest Park, the Boathouse is the ideal place to eat, drink, feed some ducks, use paddle boats and -- most important -- take in some local jazz. The expansive grounds offer indoor and outdoor seating areas (the latter features eclectic rocking chairs), so patrons can enjoy the accoutrements come rain or come shine.
  • Boogaloo
    [Map]
    7344 Manchester Rd
    Maplewood, MO 63143
    314-645-4803
    http://www.boogaloostl.com
    Swing low, sweet Boogaloo. Maplewood’s Creole-Cuban fusion restaurant not only boasts delicious fare but provides swings in lieu of barstools. Get dizzy at the full, lit bar adorned with chandeliers and plasma screens, or head outside to the heat-lamp-lit, bamboo-ensconced back patio. On the weekends, live Creole music complements the eats. And feel free to gobble up: Booglaoo's bathrooms have skinny mirrors.
