The Duck Room, University City MO

Great venue to see bands. Saw Royal Thunder. Talk about a girl with some pipes!

Fun little venue for concerts and events. Also attached to Blueberry Hill so you can grab some food while you are there!

Iconic music venue with history that feels within reach. Small space for intimate shows where you can very much feel the energy of the bands on stage.

Small basement venue with decent quality sound and always friendly bartenders. Great for punk shows and smaller indie gigs that don't need a massive venue.

Entire staff was fantastic on this visit. Southern Culture on the Skids put on an amazing show for the fans.

What a cool space! Reminds me of the shop in my hometown where we used to go to buy CDs, t-shirts, blacklight posters, incense, and yes they had a backroom for "water pipes. "

There are in fact a bunch of ducks, from little wildlife figurines to comics.

The space has an intimate, indie vibe. We appreciated that there was a big cooler of water, though it ran out quickly and could have used a refill. The bartender was very kind and gave me the Wifi password.

Only three tiny tables-ours was set up around a support beam and was very rickety. We're not 20 anymore and need to sit down during a three-hour show. But it was a wonderful time and I'm thankful we did get a table and some hard little stools in the long run.

Nice, clean bathrooms with welcoming signs that were very meaningful on the day the emergency declaration affecting trans healthcare was pushed back five days. It felt like a safe space to be openly queer and trans, even without the signs, but they still meant a lot.
