Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Hazelwood

"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."

"If you love small plates because you get to try so many different flavors in one dining experience, you will fall in love with Olio. Dishes here are inspired by foods from the Mediterranean, Middle East, Southern Europe and North Africa. You will truly be transported with every bite."
