No thoroughfare in St. Louis is quirkier than Cherokee Street. In just a one-mile stretch, you’ll find the city’s most concentrated collection of antique stores, record shops, galleries, bars, music venues, vintage clothing boutiques and a diverse assortment of eateries.
If you haven't stopped by lately, you may be surprised to see that Cherokee Street has seen a bit of a transformation. But even as several mainstay bars have closed (including
San Loo and the
B Side), new shops continue to open, even while others are still going strong after a decade's run.
In no particular order, here are some of the most interesting stores we stopped by to browse on our most recent visit.
