Two hours isn’t nearly enough time to do St Louis justice, but I had to share this gem if you’re like me and driving through the city with hardly any time to explore. Stopping at the HIlton St Louis at the Ballpark simply to experience the rooftop bar and a meal is completly worth it.

Address: 1 S Broadway, St. Louis, MO 63102, United States
Park on a side street, pay the meter via your phone, and head inside the Hilton. Walk straight inside towards the elevators in front of you and rise to the rooftop bar.

Order a meal and/or a drink (I ordered a burger – DELICIOUS) and enjoy the views! The bar offers a 360 degree perspective, to include outdoor options to peek at Busch Stadium. However, my favorite spot was at the northeast corner to goggle at the arch.


Again, no doubt St Louis has many more adventures awaiting discovery. But not all adventures have the luxury of time, so I’ll take a great meal and beautiful view and be content.
