Best Nightlife in Belleville

"Another great diner for kids is found on Locust Street’s historic Automotive Row. Eating in a building that was built in 1916 to build “high end sedans” is pretty cool. Besides great food, The Fountain on Locust ice cream was voted St. Louis’ best."

"Housed in a former downtown brothel from the 1840s, Broadway Oyster Bar is the kind of place you go to in the early afternoon and end up spending the next 12 hours at. It feels like a little slice of New Orleans right in the middle of downtown, with a big patio and a menu that includes crawfish, po’boys, and jambalaya. They also stay open until 3am every night, which means you can still get oysters and wings at 1am when those two things suddenly sound like the right move."

"Broadway Oyster Bar offers an authentic taste of New Orleans with its heavily seafood-focused Cajun-Creole cuisine. Take in the lively French Quarter ambiance as you dine on Big Easy signature dishes like the Boiled Crawfish, Fried Catfish Platter, or Jambalaya. Don’t miss the Broadway Shooters or Bienville Oysters (served with a spicy shrimp in a parmesan and mushroom cream sauce)."

"A contemporary, casual Israeli restaurant and cocktail bar located inside an ultra-modern refurbished gas station: can it get more hip than this?. OLIO’s food is perfect for a light lunch (especially on days the garage door is open) or happy hour and small plates. Make sure to try the egg salad with lemon and white anchovies—it’s simplicity at its finest."

"Superb wine pairings and a laidback, intimate setting make Juniper easily one of the best restaurants for Valentine’s Day in St. Louis. They serve New Southern fare and some truly inventive cocktails inspired by flavours you’ll find throughout the region. It’s the perfect spot for couples after something truly tasty and special without heading to a spot that’s stuffy or boring."

"The menu changes weekly, keeping things fresh and creative in the kitchen. On Mondays there is no menu at all, as guests tuck into whatever delectable dishes Cassy feels like preparing that day. Not for fuss-pots, the Home Wine Kitchen is the true foodie’s dream."

"Craft cocktail whisperer, mixed drink maestro, exotic elixir captain Ted Kilgore has been sent fan mail, several times. After enjoying a libation or five at Planter's House, the craft cocktail bar and restaurant located in the Benton Park neighborhood, you may feel compelled to pen a letter of adoration yourself. The snappily dressed yet modestly reserved Kilgore and his magnetic wife, Jamie, opened Planter's House on repeal day, December 5th, four years ago."

"The downtown St. Louis green space didn’t have much going on until its recent makeover. Now it boasts a colorful playground, two water features, and free weekly Sunrise Yoga classes. There are also evening boot camps and family friendly days with storytelling and lawn games."

"An oldie but goodie, Kiener Plaza is a great spot for a family photo. You’ll get the Arch AND the Old Courthouse. It’s also been spiffed up lately with a nice new tile plaza and a playground for kids."

"Like a fairytale castle dedicated to the Christian son of God, the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis is both a stunning piece of craftsmanship as well as a tranquil, sober place of worship. Its green domes shine in the St. Louis sun and match the colour of the lush green trees growing around the church which softly frame the cathedral. Plans for the cathedral began under the Archbishop Peter Ri...Read more"

"Southwest of the Gateway Arch is the Old Cathedral, the Catholic Basilica of St. Louis of France. Built from 1831 to 1834 on the site of the first church of St. Louis (1770), it survived the 1849 fire unscathed. On the west side of the cathedral is the Old Cathedral Museum, covering the history of the city."

"Also known as the Old Cathedral, the Basilica of St. Louis, King of France is the oldest building in the City of St. Louis. It sits in the morning shadow of the Gateway Arch and is an important piece of St. Louis history. The church was built between 1831 and 1834."

"This all vegetarian restaurant in Clayton has chickpea ‘tuna,’ pizzas and six plant-based cheeses for the burgers (along with cow milk cheese). There are soups, salads, and curries for more adventurous palates. Leave room for great vegan desserts like a chocolate avocado mousse."

"One of St. Louis’ most reputable spots for a beloved Vietnamese staple opened a South City counterpart last summer. Pho Long’s second location debuted in August 2018, serving up homestyle Vietnamese cuisine. From the Indochine-style menu, choose from signature pho beef bowls, chicken soup noodle bowls, vegetarian options, rice platters and pho kho, or dry noodles with fix-ins."

"This restaurant serves flavorful and reasonably priced Vietnamese pho. To meet the demands of their customers, they have to be ready with a huge stock of pho. The restaurant’s signature dish is prepared as per the 70-year-old family secret recipe."

"Next up is Fox Park's Lona's Lil Eats, situated at 2199 California Ave. With 4.5 stars out of 541 reviews on Yelp, the Asian fusion, vegetarian and Chinese spot has proven to be a local favorite."

"Lona’s Lil Eats delivers big on both portion size and flavor. Stumped on where to start?. Begin with their giant rice paper wraps."
