“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Our guests raved about how great the service was, how nice everyone was, and how pretty the venue was - really had a beautiful wedding here! Jordan and Raven were clutch in the weeks leading up to the event.”
“The Christy was our choice for our Christmas Banquet and literally everyone was glowing about:
- How great the food was
- How professional their serving staff was
They showed up perfectly on time and had everything set up. The catering was flawless and I would recommend them to everyone I know.”
“This venue was amazing. I came from Indiana to see Jack The Underdog and Davvn. Venue was clean. The only thing I could complain about is the spot they chose for the hand dryer. ? ?”
“The Grand Hall is truly an unexpected delight.
First, lets talk about getting inside the place. Easiest way in is to use the valet parking out front. (This is a hotel after all- and this literally connects to the hotel lobby/front desk.) If you opt out of using the valet, getting to the Grand Hall is a little tricky. We parked in Union Station's main paid parking lot out back, and it was a bit of a maze getting to The Grand Hall, using gates, walking through "Hotel Guest Only" doors that likely should have been locked (PSA- they weren't). You would think it would be easy just walking through Union Station's halls to get to the other end but there were gates closing the giant halls off. Why Union Station itself was blocked off in the center of it, I have no clue. Nevertheless, we made it to the hall after cutting through the hotel.
The architecture... Its magnificent. Its literally hard to imagine this was a train depot. The ceilings are extremely high. The details- from the gold-laced paintwork to the multiple archways to the stained-glass windows, the architecture itself is worth the trip alone. No, this isn't Rome- this is St. Louis (lol). Its nice to see that we still have building like this in this city.
The food- not bad. The drinks- also not bad. Dining and drinking here is very casual and you will see large groups of people walking around with suitcases, etc. The tables are very small but with comfy lounge chairs and couches around them.
That being said, the server was fantastic. Literally as soon as we picked a table, a server appeared to take our orders. I ordered calamari and jumbo prawns. The calamari was pretty awful, admittedly- unsure what happened there as it was dry and tasteless. But the prawns were large and were pretty good.
Lastly, there is a light show that is displayed on the ceiling of the Grand Hall about every hour or so. Yes, you read that correctly. It was a fairly unexpected surprise. The light show lasts about 10 minutes or so and the light shows are themed. We saw The Beatles light show, and on our way out, they were starting a Queen/Freddie Mercury light show (which Queen isn't really our thing, so we packed up and left during the first few minutes of that).
The bottom line- go for the architecture, drinks and the light show. The food is just kind of okay. Still definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared that if you don't use the valet out front, its a bit of a challenge getting back to The Grand Hall from the opposite side of Union Station. And remember, this is literally connected to a hotel lobby.
Four stars. A noteworthy place to check out even just for the history and architecture.”
“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!”

Casa Loma Ballroom – A Time Machine Drenched in Jazz, Charm, and Whispered Secrets
Ah, the Casa Loma Ballroom—not just a venue, but a living, breathing relic of St. Louis history. Since 1927, this grand dame has hosted everything from big band legends to dance marathons, and she’s still standing, heels on and chandelier blazing, like a silent movie star refusing to fade from the screen.
Sure, she’s got a few creaks in her floorboards and maybe could use a bit of polish, but if you look past the wear—and see with the eyes of a gin-soaked dreamer in a pinstripe suit or flapper fringe—you’ll be transported straight back to the golden age of swing, sweat, and smoky seduction.
The Casa Loma is one of the last great ballrooms in the country, and certainly one of the crown jewels of St. Louis charm. She holds stories in her plaster, rhythm in her bones, and a timeless pull that makes you want to spin, sway, and stay a little longer.
It’s not just a night out—it’s a step into a speakeasy spirit, where the music is live, the lighting is low, and every dance feels like it could be your last before midnight strikes.
So put on your dancing shoes, bring your sense of wonder, and don’t come expecting slick modernity—come to be part of history. Casa Loma Ballroom is a love letter to St. Louis’ soul, and she's still writing new verses, one waltz, swing, or salsa at a time.”
“The venue was perfect! Rented for a bridal shower and it couldn't have gone better! We had about 40 people, gifts, and food, and it was a perfect amount of space. Neal was great to work with, very kind and attentive! Everyone had a wonderful time and we will be back!”
“The Ballpark Village was a nice place to visit, I went to park at the location to grab an ice cream,wind blew my ticket away and when I get to the exit, and explain it to the situation I was told to pay $35 for lost ticket I accepted the charges but still waiting for 18 minutes for the gate to open. I hope the management see this and advice the concerned staff how to treat tourists.”
“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.”
“This is a great place to have a birthday party or repast or baby shower or a wedding. The decor is basic and you can decide what colors or designs you want to fit your occasion.
There is a bar available to buy alcoholic drinks.
You can select a caterer of your choice.”
“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.”

“We came here before a show at the Fox.Our bartender was incredible. I didn’t catch her name, but she was very attentive (mom ears for sure!) and sweet.The manager came over and told me about many events they hold here, which I’m excited to attend to in the future.Despite the brisk evening, checking out the outside view was amazing. A bummer the deck isn’t wrap around as you miss that sunset!!Plan on coming back for sure”
“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!”
“It was better than I expected and the party I went to was a 50th. Great location, plenty parking and so much room. They have 2 different party areas that I am aware of. Food was brought in for this event.”
“Anytime I see a line outside the Luminary I immediately check the website to see what's going on! I'm never disappointed by an exhibit, speaker, or event to hold space there.”
“Attended a post wake event which was catered by the Favazza's restaurant.
The atmosphere was perfect.
Linens, place settings, and the fully stocked bar area, made the occasion comfortable and appropriate.
The buffet ensemble was well rounded with salads, vegetables, meat and a selection of traditional Italian entrées.
Servers were attentive and friendly; making it a perfect ending to the emotional day. Bravo!”

“We held our event at The Franklin, and we were truly blown away by the extravagant hospitality exemplified by the owners and all the staff! Danny and Christina are some of the kindest people we've had the pleasure to work with, and they bent over backwards to make sure that every need was accommodated - and trust me, we had a lot!! They were fantastic throughout the planning process and were always available to answer questions. They were both physically present during our event, and that gave us such peace of mind to know that they cared enough about our celebration to stay and make sure every detail was perfect!
The venue was in excellent condition - clean and glowing with historic charm - and we were thrilled to have it be the setting for our special day. We had multiple guests tell us how beautiful the space was!
The chef was absolutely phenomenal and did a fantastic job of curating a menu specifically for us! We are foodies with a love of new and authentic dishes, and the food did not disappoint! We had many guests approach us throughout the evening to say how delicious the food was! The serving staff were friendly and professional and truly added to the elegance of the evening.
We really can't recommend The Franklin enough!! It's a 10/10 for us! Thank you for making our celebration perfect!”
