On the list of favorite local beers and breweries. We love everything UB offers, but visit this location and you can taste before ordering. Plus the food is very tasty (if not at all healthy) and is casual enough for a family or group setting that includes kids.

This is the MUST SEE/DO place to visit in the Lou. An entire downtown city block renovated/sculpted by local artist Bob Cassily into an artistic indoor/outdoor playground. Get ready to be physical and inspired all at the same time.

Shopping
Top secret warehouse full of St Louis architectural artifacts. PLUS it's housed in the Lemp Brewery (entrance at Lemp between Cherokee and Broadway). Only open on Saturdays, and run by a very special human named Regan. Access to the incredible (and long defunct) Lemp brewery is more than enough to make a visit worthwhile if you're into old buildings and foraging for dusty architectural treasures.

Everything here is locally produced and celebrates St Louis in a creative (rather than touristy) way. Silkscreened T-shirts, cards and posters. Custom projects also are an option.

Can't say enough about this Louisiana inspired menu and fare! This is coming from a girl born in New Orleans. The shrimp and grits is out of this world. Also, upstairs is 'The Chocolate Bar'- a dessert cocktail spot for after your meal. Mildly pricey but worth every penny.

Loud music, funky dark vibe, great pizza for eat in or take out. Every 'meat' option in the place is actually meatless, so vegetarians can go crazy. Good New York style slices, and even our most carnivorous friends love the 'sausage' pizza.
