St. Louis Bach Party Ideas

• 

A fun-filled bach party is a must in the midst of wedding planning! There are endless possibilities for what to do for your bach party, whether you’re hoping to hit the clubs and bars or have a more laid-back experience.

Note: I use “Bach Party” as an inclusive, gender-neutral term for anyone celebrating their last days of singleness.

1) Soak in all Downtown St. Louis has to offer

Want to experience the height of luxury? Stay at the Four Season St. Louis and book spa days for everyone! Be sure to take advantage of Cinder Bar, the rooftop bar overlooking the city. You can also indulge in a delicious meal at Cinder House, located right inside the Four Seasons.

If you want to explore food and drink options outside of the hotel, check out Bailey’s Chocolate Bar, the Thaxton Speakeasy, Three Sixty, or grab brunch at Rooster. Be sure to check out the bars and attractions on iconic Washington Ave.

2) Explore the Grove, STL’s Gay-borhood

The Grove, located along Manchester Avenue, is lined with fun bars and delicious restaurants. If you’re LGBTQ+ and looking for the best place to celebrate, you will feel right at home in STL’s gay-borhoood. Please note that if you’re not LGBTQ+ to be respectful of queer spaces.

3) Brewery Hop

St. Louis has so many breweries, and therefore, so much good beer. Here are a few of the amazing breweries in St. Louis:

• Four Hands Brewing Co.
• Urban Chestnut
• Rockwell Brewing
• 2nd Shift Brewing
• Civil Life
• Bluewood Brewing
• Earthbound Beer
• Square One Brewing
• Schlafly
• Ferguson Brewing Co.
• Charleville Brewing
• Wellspent Brewing
• And of course, Anhesuer-Busch

Grab an Uber and plot out your route to try them all!

4) Winery Tour

Mid-Missouri is home to some incredible wineries. Bring your crew and set up a tour to learn more about the winery’s history and their wine-making process. Then, grab a couple of bottles to take home. A few to check out: Augusta Winery, Cedar Lake Cellars, Chandler Hill Vineyards, and Mount Pleasant Estates.

5) Or a Wine & Design!

Paint and sip a glass of Rosé while creating a masterpiece. Wine & Design provides everything you need for a fun and relaxing two-hour class. The paintings will be something to always remind you of your bach party.

6) Glamping

Have an adventurous crew, but wanting something a little more elevated than pitching a tent? Glamping at Lost Hill Lake Events is a great way to get outside, enjoy nature, and have some quality time together. Enjoy swimming in the lake (with a killer playlist, of course), hiking trails, relaxing in the dry-barrel sauna, and wind down the night with a campfire.

7) ROAD TRIP!

Looking to get out of St. Louis? Take 55-North straight to Chicago, hop over to Nashville, or make a multi-day trip to the beaches of the Outer Banks. Spend the night before you head out together making a bomb playlist, packing some delicious snacks, and making matching t-shirts.

8) Rent a party bus

Have a private party in between dinner and the bars, or have the driver just ride around town so you can party in style.

9) Take a modern dance class

If you want something outside of the box, take a modern dance class together! It’s fun, will keep you moving, and bond you as a group as you all try something new and fun together.

10) Head to the Boom Boom Room

A burlesque club with a full-service bar to keep the party going!
