Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Belleville

"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."

"Vin de Set is a French restaurant that was born after the owners’ trip to Provence in 2004. They were inspired to bring approachable French dishes to St. Louis, and the restaurant has become one of the city’s most popular rooftop eateries. The menu is made from fresh ingredients, many of which are grown locally–in fact, they come from the restaurant’s own urban farm and hydroponic greenhouse!"

"Welcome to Pi Pizzeria, home of irrationally delicious deep dish and thin cornmeal crust pizza, and prime craft beers. Open for lunch and dinnerPhone: +1 314-588-7600"

"Located at the southwestern corner of Tower Grove Park, The Royale is known for its annual Kentucky Derby party, when guests dress up in their fanciest hats and seersucker suits. But this pleasant neighborhood bar is also a great place to go for trivia nights, playoff games, or just to enjoy a drink on a Tuesday night. If the weather is nice, sit in The Royale’s courtyard, which is often ranked among the best patios in the city."

"Currently offering limited outdoor seating only, The Royale is a neighborhood staple in South City St. Louis. The menu includes plenty of drink options and tasty treats like the brisket, griddle burger and Brussel sprout salad. The courtyard is in full bloom."

"Missouri Baking Company is located on The Hill so you'd expect them to be serving up Italian treats like cannoli and biscotti. But the bakery also makes some of the city's best pies, bread, stollen and turnovers. Grab an assortment of cookies or pastries to share with friends and family, or see just how many you can eat all by yourself."

"Though minuscule in comparison to Forest Park Forever, Lafayette Park sits on 30 beautiful lush, green acres. The park is home to three historic cannons of the Revolutionary War; the relics were lost in South Carolina harbor in 1776, but once recovered, they were donated to the park. In addition to the state of the art playground on site, kids love to climb all over the cannons."

"Lafayette Park maintains and recovers the park’s historic heritage, and increases resources for those purposes. Today, they are functioning to proceed to build regional consciousness of and support for Lafayette Park throughout the Greater St. Louis metropolitan area and further, and to enlist personnel, volunteers, and donors in assist of its mission."

"You can explore the pavilions, find all the statues, and take a walk along the lake. But really, the highlight of the park is the bridge. It's gorgeous among all the trees and it's definitely an Instagram worthy photo."
