Live Music After Fair St. Louis

A lot of people hesitate to come down to Fair St. Louis because they don't want to fight the traffic after the fireworks are done. What my friends and I have done in years past is to park south of the Arch grounds, and then when the fireworks are over, head down to one of the local clubs or bars featuring live music that night. A quick look at a few of the clubs just south of the fair shows there's some good music to be had both on Friday, July 3, and Saturday, July 4. Here's a quick list of just some of the venues and the acts performing there this weekend.
