00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.959
If you're in the mood for gallery hopping, grabbing a drink, making a night of it, that's always a solid move.
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.519
Then Saturday really opens up if your weekend plans lean more food forward.

00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:16.960

Free event, global food, performances, family-friendly activities, very community focused and really fun.
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:24.319
Honestly, you could spend your entire weekend bouncing between festivals and not run out of things to do.
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:30.639
But if your weekend plans lean more towards concerts, shows, or something happening after dark, there's a lot going on there too.
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:31.759
Let's start big.
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:36.479

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.479
Blue Sky, the Elo tribute at Family Arena, if nostalgia is calling you.
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:15.039
And then on the opposite end of the spectrum, all your friends at Blueberry Hill is basically an indie dance party built for anyone who romanticized the blog era and old iPods, which is honestly sounds very fun and very specific.
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:22.399
And for a rooftop move, Friday night, rooftop rhythm at On God is doing its usual skyline cocktails DJ energy situation.
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.000
That's one of those reoccurring things, but it's always a good plan.
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:34.879
Then if you want something a little chaotic and nostalgic, there's the best of both worlds rave at the Hawthorne, which is basically Hannah Montana and Miley Nostalgia Night.
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.639
Saturday keeps the music going too.
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.959

Punk rock Disney music.
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:50.000

00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.000
Then Sunday gives you a couple more options as well.
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:04.800
There's Adult Prom at Blueberry Hill, which is exactly what it sounds like and honestly feels kind of hilarious in the best way.
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:11.600
And if you want to take your Sunday somewhere a little different, there's even a Cinco de Mayo cruise on the river out in Augusta.
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:19.600
So whether you want symphony, rooftop DJs, tribute bands, punk Disney, or Adult Prom, somehow this weekend has it all.
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:24.240
And of course, we've got to talk sports because it wouldn't be a proper spring weekend in St.
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:25.439
Louis without baseball.
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.519
The Cardinals are hosting the Dodgers at Bush all weekend, and that is a fun series.

Big matchup, good weather.

Downtown is gonna be buzzing.
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:39.519
Honestly, even if you're not going to the game, being around Ballpark Village in downtown during a big series weekend is always an event itself.
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.879
And if you've got people visiting from out of town, this is one of those classic St.
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.399

00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.800
First up, Iowa buffet down in Graveway Park.
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:21.920
If you know, you know.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:28.079
It's cash only, it's unapologetically old school, and it has one of those true neighborhood bar feels that gets harder to find.
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.399
Burgers, beers, no frills, just a classic St.

And then in Soulard, the Kat's Meow.
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:52.879
This one has all the charm you want in a neighborhood dive, a little quirky, a little legendary, and very Soulard.
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.000
It's the kind of place you go for one drink and somehow stay a while.
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.800

00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.920
And it's basically a pop-up culture, pop-up meets food collab.
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:29.839
They've got a special theme menu with a playful bites and drinks inspired by Sonic, including a chili dog plus custom packaging merch, just a really fun, nostalgic atmosphere.
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.360
It's not your typical new restaurant opening, it's more of an experience.
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:40.000
Great if you're a Sonic fan, great if you've got kids, or honestly, just if you want to go try something quirky or and different in the loop.
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:41.600

00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.759
And if you're looking ahead to Sunday Plans, World Fest at St.
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.800
Louis Music Park is another one to keep on your radar.
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:18.719
Free event, global food, performances, family-friendly activities, very community focused and really fun.
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:24.319
Honestly, you could spend your entire weekend bouncing between festivals and not run out of things to do.
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:30.639
But if your weekend plans lean more towards concerts, shows, or something happening after dark, there's a lot going on there too.
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:31.759
Let's start big.
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:36.479
Marvel's Infinity Saga in concert is at the PAL Symphony Hall all weekend.
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.120
And this feels like such a cool crossover event.
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.280
Orchestra meets Marvel Universe.
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:45.439
If you're a film score person or just even a Marvel fan, that's a fun one.
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.599
Friday Night Alone has a stacked lineup.
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.639
You've got Devin Alman's Blues Summit at the pageant.
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:57.439
If you want blues and rock, David and Tamalia man at the Stiefle, if you want something soulful, Mr.
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.479
Blue Sky, the Elo tribute at Family Arena, if nostalgia is calling you.
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:15.039
And then on the opposite end of the spectrum, all your friends at Blueberry Hill is basically an indie dance party built for anyone who romanticized the blog era and old iPods, which is honestly sounds very fun and very specific.
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:22.399
And for a rooftop move, Friday night, rooftop rhythm at On God is doing its usual skyline cocktails DJ energy situation.
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.000
That's one of those reoccurring things, but it's always a good plan.
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:34.879
Then if you want something a little chaotic and nostalgic, there's the best of both worlds rave at the Hawthorne, which is basically Hannah Montana and Miley Nostalgia Night.
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.639
Saturday keeps the music going too.
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.959
Can you feel the punk tonight at the pageant?
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.360
Might be one of the wildest concepts of the weekend.
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.439
Punk rock Disney music.
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:50.000
And if you want something interactive and different, Friday night, speakeasy, a murder mystery of intrigue looks fun too.
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.360
Prohibition theme, costumes are encouraged, and it's got some mystery dinner vibes.
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.000
Then Sunday gives you a couple more options as well.
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:04.800
There's Adult Prom at Blueberry Hill, which is exactly what it sounds like and honestly feels kind of hilarious in the best way.
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:11.600
And if you want to take your Sunday somewhere a little different, there's even a Cinco de Mayo cruise on the river out in Augusta.
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:19.600
So whether you want symphony, rooftop DJs, tribute bands, punk Disney, or Adult Prom, somehow this weekend has it all.
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:24.240
And of course, we've got to talk sports because it wouldn't be a proper spring weekend in St.
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:25.439
Louis without baseball.
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.519
The Cardinals are hosting the Dodgers at Bush all weekend, and that is a fun series.
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.040
Big matchup, good weather.
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:32.800
Downtown is gonna be buzzing.
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:39.519
Honestly, even if you're not going to the game, being around Ballpark Village in downtown during a big series weekend is always an event itself.
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.879
And if you've got people visiting from out of town, this is one of those classic St.
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.399
Louis weekends where you can basically build an itinerary around iconic things.
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.120
Cardinals game, food truck Friday, maybe a festival Saturday, patio dinner somewhere else.
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:52.800
And that's a good weekend right there.
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:58.560
And another classic feeling event worth mentioning, Route 66 Centennial Festival at the Missouri History Museum.
00:05:58.720 --> 00:05:59.680
This one feels very St.
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:01.360
Louis in a nostalgic way.
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:07.360
Classic cars, history, music, family programming, and just celebrating 100 years of Route 66.
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:13.680
Now it's time for our Flavors of the Lou, and this week we're doing a little neighborhood dive bar bucket list because sometimes the best spots in St.
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.600
Louis are the ones with the neon sign, cheap drinks, and a whole lot of character.
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.800
First up, Iowa buffet down in Graveway Park.
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:21.920
If you know, you know.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:28.079
It's cash only, it's unapologetically old school, and it has one of those true neighborhood bar feels that gets harder to find.
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.399
Burgers, beers, no frills, just a classic St.
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:31.199
Louis butt.

Then over in Tower Grove East, TikTok Tavern.

This is the kind of place that feels equally perfect for a casual weeknight drink or a laid-back weekend hang.
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:44.879
Great patio, solid bar food, strong neighborhood energy, just one of those places people get loyal to.
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.120
And then in Soulard, the Kat's Meow.
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:52.879
This one has all the charm you want in a neighborhood dive, a little quirky, a little legendary, and very Soulard.
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.000
It's the kind of place you go for one drink and somehow stay a while.
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.800
So if you're looking to add a few classic neighborhood bars to your St.

We have a new spot for you to check out this week, the Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe just opened at Noodle House in the Delmar Loop.
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.920
And it's basically a pop-up culture, pop-up meets food collab.
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:29.839
They've got a special theme menu with a playful bites and drinks inspired by Sonic, including a chili dog plus custom packaging merch, just a really fun, nostalgic atmosphere.
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.360
It's not your typical new restaurant opening, it's more of an experience.
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:40.000
Great if you're a Sonic fan, great if you've got kids, or honestly, just if you want to go try something quirky or and different in the loop.
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:41.600
All right, that's your weekend rundown.
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.040
And honestly, it's a stacked one.
