Over the years, I've been to The Pageant a few times for shows. The last show was in May of 2026. I…read moretraveled out to see Dayseeker, Northlane, Wind Walkers, and Sace6. I've never been to a bad show here. It also helps that there are other things to do and eat in the area. You want a date night rock show? This area is perfect for that. I'm prompted to this review because this last show was the first time I've sit up top. Results may vary from venue to venue when it comes to sitting up top. I'm not sure but in the future, I might opt to sit up top for every show. Sometimes you run the risk of the sound bouncing off back walls and ceilings which can make things miserable if you're catching the sound from multiple directions. I'm happy to report the sound is contained in this venue. To begin, all 4 of these bands have perfected their live sound. That definitely helps in small and large venues alike. If any of your favorites roll through here, you owe it to yourself to attend. The only peeve I had this time was the merch. It's a bit odd how this venue handles merch. There were multiple locations for the merch inside the venue. Dayseeker merch was in the big room up front but my question... why not put all the acts in one room? they were spread out which also led to mass confusion with multiple long lines snaking and intersecting with each other. Aside from that, A+ venue. Will continue visiting in the future.

This music and entertainment venue has new life…read more The venue now has seats on the lower level that were only for special shows. I would always call the box office to be sure of the layout before buying tickets. I saw Qveen Herby and Thot Squad (May 20th) and it was a safe vibe of all types of people. The check in process was smooth and someone helped me to my seat up stairs. I enjoyed the show but my accessible seat kind of sucked because once folks stood up I couldn't see. I asked some other people to help me be a mood killer and kindly ask others to sit down, but the venue should adjust those seats one more time. Also they should go back to just being a smoking building because everyone was vaping and the smell of smoke and marijuana was very pronounced! Either crack down hard or let the people smoke it up. Accessibility note: there is not enough parking so get an uber or pray to the parking goddesses. There is stepless entry but if your seat is upstairs, you will need a proper staff member to key in the elevator for you. I waited over 10 minutes for assistance (they bought me a drink tomorrow ease that soreness). Bring headphones or ear plugs as the whole suite booms! Don't be afraid to tell folks down in front because you cannot see.

Bring your own snacks and drinks, enjoy the show. I was super confused on all of these things our first time around, but now I see others bringing small coolers, they know the words to the songs, and they all had their seats because we had to get a little creative with our random chairs that we plucked out of the audience. Fortunately for us, a couple left and we had real seats for the second half of the show. Both weeks were phenomenal musicians that made me feel like STL has some real hidden talent. A fantastic intimate venue that I look forward to visiting in the future.

Halo Bar is one of those places that make for a perfect stop before a show at The Pageant. I have…read morebeen on several occasions and have to admit that prices are fair considering its part of a concert venue. Halo Bar also offers early entry day of shows to secure limited general admission seating. Inside there is limited seating, several high top tables with enough room for 6-8 people each and several booths. The bar can get crowded however the staff is usually pretty good and manages to get everyone's order pretty quickly. The drink selection is pretty good, with a wide selection of beers and spirits. Overall Halo Bar is a great way to start off or end your evening while visiting The Pageant.

It is a nice, relaxing place to have a few drinks and socialize. Decent selection of canned craft beers, wines and cocktails. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service!

It's also fun to go to Halo Bar after your concert or show as they usually have a band playing.

I was disappointed that when we went to the table at the top of the stairs to check in, we were told that since my daughter was under 21, there was a $2 CASH upcharge for her. I now see that's listed on their website (I didn't purchase the tickets). After making it through security (which was tougher than going through TSA), we made it down to the venue. The opener was already performing. We found our spot to stand for the evening. We were right up by the stage. The venue is very intimate. When the show was over, we were hoping to get a picture with the artist as he had been selling merch at the table when we arrived. The security guard announced that the venue was closing in 5 minutes. He then looked at my daughter (with the 2 huge permanent marker Xs on her hands and loudly said "you have to leave NOW!" We were dumbfounded. She was one of only 3 under 21 folks in attendance. What if we wanted to purchase a shirt, CD or sticker from the artist? Based on this interaction alone, I might not visit this venue again. There are plenty of other live shows happening on the loop that I can patronize.

We were just about to order the toasted ravioli which are locally noteworthy here. Except that in the introduction and telling about the place, our waitress informed us that Blueberry Hill is also owned by the same people who own Pin Up Bowl across the street. We had been there earlier in the week for a work party and the toasted ravioli there are the same ones that arrive by the same delivery here. So we skipped those. We ordered drinks and found some nice options. I had a tin of a local light beer and that was quite tasty. Looking for something different, we went with the fried cheese balls. Sadly, not that great. Battered and fried, they were not very flavorful and no sharpness to the cheese. Peel off the batter and they look like just the same cheese cubes you can get at the supermarket. So I'd say skip these too. Otherwise, Blueberry Hill is cool. The memorabilia on the walls, the fun games in the next room and don't skip the Duck Room. It's a neat place and maybe on my next visit, something more substantial to eat with our drinks. [Review 439 of 2026 - 508 in Missouri - 25622 overall]

Blueberry Hill is an old music and dining establishment where many legends have played. Many! I…read moreonly have gone for the food because I'm not much into live music. I don't remember what I had on my most recent visit. It may have been only a lemonade; I wasn't feeling well after an ice cream float at Fitz's across the street (lol @ my dietary choices). Blueberry Hill is locally iconic to the point that the place feels borderline touristy on a busy weekend afternoon. However, if you come in the evening during the week, it's much quieter and low-key, and I prefer that vibe. After you order, if it isn't too busy, try to spend a few minutes looking at the walls of photos of celebrities who have visited Blueberry Hill. (At least, I think they've all visited and it isn't a mixture of those folks & photos from founder Joe Edwards' private collection. Even if it were the latter, it still would be fun to look at the photos.)

Manchester Avenue seems to carry the energy, a long run of neon and murals and patios. I saw rainbow flags and dive bars and a few spots that seem just a little scruffy around the edges that keep the place from turning into a theme park version of itself. I have been here on foot and by car. By car, the parking was easy enough as long as you're aware of the hydrants and driveways so you don't block either. On food, the blocks are short and the sidewalks are wide enough that you never feel squeezed. The neighborhood feels expressive and welcoming, like it wants you to see the art, feel the music and take in the color. If I was ever looking to move back into a city, I'd be looking at places in this part of Saint Louis. [Review 370 of 2026 - 494 in Missouri - 25556 overall]
