Downtown St. Louis Restaurant Week returns from Oct. 14 to 20 with specials at participating establishments.

Spanning cuisines, the restaurants and bars in downtown St. Louis appeal to even the pickiest palates – we can almost guarantee that everyone will find something scrumptious at local haunts such as Aubergine Café, Katie’s Pizza and Pasta Osteria, Levels, Pennydrop Bar + Kitchen, Salt + Smoke, Sugarfire Smoke House and The Over/Under Bar & Grill.

“Downtown St. Louis Restaurant Week reminds people that the neighborhood – and all the wonderful restaurants and bars that it encompasses – is vibrant,” Kara Bailey of Baileys’ Restaurants says. “This is an opportunity for both residents and visitors to savor exceptional food and drinks while exploring the city. We’ve been honored to call downtown St. Louis home for 17 years, and we always look forward to the energy that Restaurant Week brings to the area.”

Part of Baileys’ Restaurants, Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar will offer 20 percent off fall cocktails and Oktoberfest beers – the perfect pairings for specials such as stuffed shellfish and cinnamon-pumpkin pound cake.

At Rooster, the restaurant group’s beloved brunch spot, you’ll receive 20 percent off any 20-ounce Bloody Mary. While you devour a classic slinger, sweet crêpe or flavorful scramble alongside your discounted drink, take note of the charming roosters on the walls of the space at 11th Street and Washington Avenue – they were hand-drawn by local children!

A stone’s throw from Busch Stadium, Cardinals Nation will take 20 percent of any purchase, while Clark & Bourbon will delight guests with $10 wines and cocktails from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

At the latter, which is the main restaurant at Live! by Loews – St. Louis, Missouri, modern flair elevates Midwest dining. Executive chef Steven Hall relishes seasonal ingredients, which impart freshness to every dish from breakfast through dinner. Here, you can also enjoy a two-course lunch for $20 during Downtown St. Louis Restaurant Week.

“Not to boast, but Live! by Loews is one of the funnest hotels in St. Louis,” Hall says. “It’s the perfect place for date nights, special occasions and postgame parties. No matter when you visit, you can expect a quality experience.”

Union 30 at Hotel Saint Louis will also offer a two-course lunch menu for $15 – plus, a three-course dinner menu for $45.

Other deals for Downtown St. Louis Restaurant Week include a $14 pork belly special at 360 St. Louis; 20 percent off cups, cones and boozy shakes at Bella’s; free pan con tomate with any purchase at Idol Wolf; 20 percent off your total at Rosalita’s Cantina; and a $16 hot honey club at the Schlafly Tap Room.
