Fantastic atmosphere. Couldn't stay long but I could see myself hanging out and enjoying the live music for hours.

Eclectic with an amazing vibe. Sat at the bar and had fun talking with the bartender. Learned a lot. Richard Simmons 80s VHS videos should say it all.

One of a kind, cash only spot with great service. I popped into this eclectic, cash only, bar on Valentines Day and did not regret it. The live music was incredible, the vibes were high and our bartender was hilarious. Looking forward to returning here the next time I'm in STL.

This incomparable funky bar and music venue in St Louis since 1988, with amazing tile-work, quirky finds and hidden finds both inside and outside, is the creative offspring of long time St Louis artist, Jeffrey Lockheed

It's truly a vibe. I love local holes in the wall. Yanno, the ones that you walk into for the first time and every single person turns around to see what random person just walked into their bar. The bartenders are fantastic. A lot of incredible live music.

The boss is a creative curmudgeon and the employees are snarky artists and they're all wonderful; like hanging with the cool-cousins at Thanksgiving dinner. Drinks are cold. Prices are low. Entertainment is everywhere. They welcome food but dont serve. Cash onlyVegetarian options: None of the beverages contain meat products.

This bar is a gem. It's got the most eclectic decor. Art and mosaics and sculptures everywhere. Often has live music as well. Nice patio too. And some fountains. Cash bar only and often has a cover.
When I first visit Venice Cafe it was for a poetry reading with some other live acts. It was a warm and kind atmosphere; I knew immediately it would be a staple every visit.

In contrast to the typical pub - you have the Venice Cafe.A mix of madness and art coming together in absolute chaotic beauty. A former house and fairly small venue - packed to the absolute gills with every visual object you can imagine. Doesn’t matter where you look, you’ll find something to try to figure out or discern the meaning therof.A super cool place that hosts live music and is cash only. Prices are great and the people always look happy - which, is a rarity in bars.If you’re in town, this is a must see - if for nothing else the visual feast. I particularly like the small, intimate conversation room on the second floor.You won’t be disappointed.

This bar is a hidden gem. Live music often that never disappoints. Try this place out and enjoy a classy scene like no other.
