Things To Do

Washington University in St. Louis

We welcome wedding guests to wander around WashU campus following the ceremony if they so desire (and if the weather permits). It is truly a breathtaking campus. The wedding party will be taking photos here as our first spot.

Forest Park

Enjoy a nice walk throughout beautiful Forest Park, where there is always much to see and do! We highly recommend! Here you can also enjoy a round of golf, grab lunch at the boathouse, rent a paddle boat, or pack a picnic and sit on Art Hill. Within Forest Park, you will also find the Saint Louis Zoo, which is free of charge, or you can visit the Art or History Museums. Fun fact: Shane and I went on about a 5 mile walk around the perimeter of Forest Park on the day that Shane proposed. It was a beautiful day and a memory I will never forget.

Missouri Botanical Garden

Interestingly, the Missouri Botanical Garden is one of the nation’s oldest botanical gardens and a National Historic Landmark. The Missouri Botanical Garden features a variety of different gardens and is amazing.

Ballpark Village

Located right by Busch Stadium, there are many indoor and outdoor bars/restaurants to catch sports games or even watch the Cards game instead of buying tickets.

The Hill

There are many wonderful restaurants on the Hill that offer amazing Italian food and a great atmosphere. Some of our favorites include Anthonino’s Taverna, Charlie Gitto’s, Favazza’s, or Gioia’s Deli (for lunch)

Felix's Pizza Pub

A great pizza spot in Dogtown (where we live). If you are craving a pint and a slice, Felix’s Pizza and Pub has great pizza and an abundance of TVs for sports games

Tamm Avenue Bar

Another one of our favorite spots in Dogtown! This bar has an outdoor patio that is dog friendly and also offers a game room! It is a great spot to grab some drinks and enjoy the nice weather.

Olympia Kebob House and Taverna

Our all time favorite Greek restaurant located right across the street from our apartment. Amazing Greek food (highly rated) and also has a nice patio. It is a favorite of many!

Sasha's Wine Bar

Great spot with patio seating in Demun, which is a neighborhood very close to Washington University

Basso

Great spot for apps and drinks in a trendy basement pub. This is more of a dark/moody vibe. If you want to be outside enjoying sunshine or out on a patio, this is not the place to go! Perfect if it's raining or if it's your vibe.

360 Rooftop Bar

One of our favorite spots to grab drinks and apps! Amazing view of downtown and you can sit inside or outside on the 360 view patio. It's a great spot. We celebrated our engagement pictures being over by grabbing drinks here afterward :) We have lots of fun memories here.

Clayton

There are many spots in Clayton for dinner and drinks. This is a bit of a backtrack from our venue, but if you are in town for extra days we definitely recommend checking out the dining here. Some of our favorites include Napoli, 801 Chophouse or 801 Fish, Herbie’s, or John P. Field’s (very casual).
