A mile of neon marquees, record shops, and brass stars underfoot. The Delmar Loop is where St. Louis comes to hear live music, eat something unexpected, and stay out past dinner.
A first taste of the block — the full directory has shops, venues, and every stop along Delmar.
The father of rock and roll played a standing monthly show at Blueberry Hill's Duck Room for over two decades. His star sits right outside.
The Delmar Loop MetroLink station drops you right on the strip. Metered street parking and several lots line Delmar and the side streets.
Weekday afternoons for browsing shops without a crowd; Friday and Saturday nights for live music and the full marquee-lit effect.
Two to three hours covers the strip at an easy pace — longer if you're catching a show at the Pageant or Blueberry Hill.
The Loop straddles the St. Louis / University City line — it's one continuous walk, even though you're crossing a city border.
