We love all things local in stl. Here are a few places we recommend to those who are not from the area and to those that are-- you already know. ;)
Saint Louis Zoo
Government Drive, St. Louis, MO 63110, (314) 781-0900
The zoo is FREE! This place is the best. The zoo is open from 9am-5:00pm almost every day of the week.
Urban Chestnut Grove Brewery and Bierhall
4465 Manchester Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110, (314) 222-0143
One of the best breweries in STL. We love it here!
St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station
201 South 18th Street, St. Louis, MO 63103, (314) 923-3900
Nate and I have been here once before! Definitely worth the trip if you have little ones. It is a little pricy, but the surrounding area is awesome too. So many things at Union Station to choose from.
4 Hands Brewing Co
1220 South 8th Street, St. Louis, MO 63104, (314) 436-1559
A go to staple for Nate and I. We've had many gatherings here and several beers too. :)
Forest Park
5595 Grand Drive, St. Louis, MO 63112, (314) 367-7275
A seriously gorgeous place to visit. There is a boathouse at forest park (restaurant included), and you can rent paddle boats to go out on the water!
Southern (BEST fried chicken in stl)
3108 Olive Street, St. Louis, MO 63103
Highly recommend this place to eat. It will not fail you.
Busch Stadium GO BIRDS
700 Clark Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63102, (314) 345-9600
You could take a tour, watch a game (depending on corona of course), or simply walk around this awesome stadium.
Bogart's Smokehouse BBQ
1627 South 9th Street, St. Louis, MO 63104
Our favorite BBQ place in stl. When we lived in Soulard, this was Nate and I's go-to stop.
Chandler Hill Vineyards
596 Defiance Road, Defiance, MO 63341, (636) 798-2675
A lovely place very close to Sunflower Hill Farms. It has a gorgeous overlook and close to the Katy Trail if you're into biking/hiking!
Clementine's Naughty and Nice Creamery
1637 South 18th Street, St. Louis, MO 63104, (314) 858-6100
Our favorite ice cream in STL! They have boozy, vegan, and regular flavors galore. The "gooey butter cake" flavor is to die for!
The Last Kitchen & Bar
1501 Washington Ave, St. Louis, MO 63103, (866) 752-7700
Amazing place to eat! I hear Executive Chef, Evy, is quite the cook. ;) SHE IS PEOPLE. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
