Beer has been king in St. Louis, Missouri, since the mid-1800s, when immigrants from Germany and Bohemia started arriving en masse. They established dozens of small, local breweries and utilized the city’s natural cave system to provide year-round refrigeration. Today, a vibrant craft beer scene flourishes alongside industry giant Anheuser-Busch InBev. St. Louis is also home to more pubs, bars, and watering holes than one can count, with new establishments emerging frequently. Whether you seek upscale, low-key venues, or places featuring live music, St. Louis offers it all. Below are some of the city’s top bar recommendations.
