“While we did not use the Franklin as our venue, we did use them as our caterer for our wedding and we simply cannot say enough good things. Christina and her whole team are so nice and were an absolute dream to work with, and their food is the absolute best! Everything we tasted, from salads to appetizers to main dishes, during the process was so good and so many of our guests were raving about their themed BBQ dinner. Whether its just for catering, or for their whole event space package, you cannot go wrong with this team. We would choose them again without a second thought...so so great!”
“Visited St. Louis for a few days, and ended up going to BarK multiple times. The staff is extremely friendly, and food was also very good. It’s a fun place whether you bring your dogs, or just go hang out.”
“This place does not get enough recognition! Zoomies has lots of food, beverage, and treat options, I get something new each time! I also love strolling around the pet shop. Lots of fun treats for pups too. The dog park could use a little updating, but it's still always a great time for us!”
“My favorite place in all of Forest Park. It is a lovely, open air pavilion that has played hosts to weddings and festivals and any number of events. It overlooks a pretty water fall and pool and, across the way, The Boat House restaurant and boat rental and one of the park's lakes. It's very close to the Saint Louis Zoo, so you can hear the zoo's train whistle sometimes. It's a peaceful spot.”
“FREE admission for the zoo, always! Excellent place to take your family.The Animals Aglow is an awesome light experience everyone should see. It's a temporary exhibit so don't miss it!”
“We had such a great time coming out to vend for my small business. The space is really nice open but still kinda private. It has a very intimate feel. We will definitely be back”
“Atmosphere is off the charts! I need to have a conversation with the chef about the BBQ shrimp. My adult boys smashed the smash burgers, the tahini dish is just okay, crab cake was decent, and drinks were spot on! The best thing about the station is just being here.”
“Always fun ever since I was a small girl. Nostalgia is great not much has changed. Have been here for several different venues in my adult years and always a great time.”
“Our October wedding held it's reception at the beautiful indoor/outdoor space at Mad Art. We had 140 guests in attendance and the space more than accommodated dining and dancing. Kelsey and Ron are awesome! They provided a personal, curated service from our first visit to view the space to our incredible tasting to some last minute decorating hours before the reception. This old jail has rustic and modern character, great art displays, and a staff that provides a royal treatment. Definitely consider Mad Art as an elite venue for your event hosting needs!”
“We had my daughter's wedding here and it was fantastic. Great atmosphere, great service, beautiful set up! Patty was wonderful to work with and nothing fell through the cracks. I would highly recommend for someone getting married that wants a great place that has a unique feel and flow.”
“Amazing venue. Beautiful interior and wood work. Highly reasonable pricing. The owner and his daughter are very easy to work with and the space is perfect for events. Has a prep space for those looking for an affordable diy space.”
“Stop what you’re doing, because you’ve found your caterer! We got married at the Boo Cat Club and the Christy was on the list of their preferred vendors. We initially took a liking to them simply because they were the cheapest by a landslide. Then we had our tasting and it was a no brainer. The food at our reception was even better than the tasting. We had a slight issue with cake plates and they solved it without a second thought - pretty much saving the day. They were flexible and the staff were so kind. Thank you so much!”
“We photographed an engagement party at Glen Echo Country Club and it was very nice. The staff members were pleasant, the atmosphere felt high-end and it seemed like all the family and friends were having a great time. Check out Glen Echo Country Club for your next event!Photos by: @joshandlindseyphoto”
“Wow! We decided to end our anniversary outings with our first trip to Circus Flora at the Big Top and it totally didn't disappoint! We got to see Undercover on opening night, bravo guys especially to The Flying Archers! Keep up the effort!The theme and skill involved was on point. Also it was hilarious!We sat in the second row which was totally worth it! However the place is small so any seat is a good seat I think.Tix were a little hard to find on their website but once you find the right webpage it's simple. Please go support!”
“We had our wedding reception at the Four Seas, and it couldn’t have gone better! The staff was so kind and helpful, the food was delicious, and the space was beautiful. Such a great venue!”
“This would be an excellent location for parties, showers, or seminars/workshops.I was recently there for a funeral repast. From the looks of things, it could easily seat 150 people to 175. There is ample signage out front. Listed in Google, there is a full bar across the back, large round tables are available, and the place has nice restrooms, clean, well maintained.There is fenced-in, off street parking, and it looks to be fully wheelchair accessible. There are no stairs or steep inclines to get in from the outside. So, it would make a great local community networking spot, or place to conduct an Understanding Medicare or Senior Safe-money Workshop.”
“We're here a couple of times a year for birthday parties. Our cousin books this space for birthday parties for their kids. It's always fun to see what artwork is hanging on the walls when we show up.”
“What a hidden gem!!! This venue is completely underrated! I had no idea it existed before last night. Saw Ed Bassmaster and it seemed like the perfect size venue. Once we got inside it opened up to this huge room; seats and tall tables were set up on the floor, the balcony had some open rail seating, but also some VIP areas that were made out of shopping containers!There was a merch stand, a bar with a ton of drink options, a vending machine and a little arcade! Bathrooms were clean also. Every staff member was so nice and welcoming. Bartenders were quick! Such a cool vibe.”
“We have been going here for many years & the fish is always amazing. The sides are also very good. The workers are friendly & we love sitting on the covered deck (at least when it's not 100 outside.)”
“We had my Dad's birthday party here and it was great. The staff did wonderful job in preparation for the party and during the event. The layout allowed for people that didn't want to bowl have a place to hangout and we were able to do Karaoke.”

“We had a Celebration of Life Memorial at the Lakeside Conference Center a few months ago. Price was competitive. Place was perfect. Everything was ready when it needed to be. What made it so easy was working with their Event Coordinator, Cindy. She was great! She was even able to troubleshoot an issue with the caterer before we got there that saved the day. We would recommend this place.”
“I just found Sierra's Tik Tok account and I just love her videos! My kids were invited to a birthday party at Grandma's playground months ago and my kids had so much fun. The variety of toys was awesome. The bathrooms were so clean. I do not remember the name of the women on staff that day but she was so kind. I will recommend this place to everyone!”
“If you love the St. Louis Cardinals ball club, recent or historically, Ballpark Village is a must. You can feel the energy of the fans as much here as you can in Busch Stadium. It’s packed with restaurants, clubs, shops, a hotel, permanent living accommodations, a junior baseball diamond, live performance stage, and the Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum and Gift Shop. You can walk around on game day or come in during away games and off-season to watch sports and games on the enormous Jumbotron in Bally’s Sports Live! while getting a drink and/or food for you and your family.
Note: On game days, be advised that you will have to pass through metal detectors to insure there are no knives, guns, etc. on you or other patrons. Also, no outside food or drink are allowed (except maybe bottled water).”
“As a photographer, Andre's has always made my job so easy over the years. Plenty of room for small to large weddings, my last wedding here was rather large and it was no problem at all for them at all. The bar off to the side of the dance floor is in a great spot and the patio is always nice as well whether it's being used for a ceremony or just to mingle with guests. Definitely give them a look!instagram: @batchelorphoto”
“I went to Rose of the Hill for a luncheon with my fellow high school seniors during my senior year of high school in the spring of 2011. It’s a wonderful place to dine and the teachers gave out awards to certain students including me. I totally recommend this place for special occasions.”
“I haven’t been bowling in years… But being here at the Film in MO event- reminded me of the good time to be had! I think bowling will be my renewed hobby! The pizza was beyond good! Thanks Tropicana!”
