Laclede's Landing
A cobblestoned old warehouse district north of the arch, where 19th-century red-brick buildings house bars and restaurants and the nightlife is lively.
Laclede's Landing is named after Pierre Laclède, who founded the city in 1764. It is the only remaining 19th-century commercial warehouse district along the downtown riverfront, and its cast-iron façades and cobblestone streets preserve the look of the steamboat era. The district sits between the Eads Bridge and the Martin Luther King Jr. Bridge, and from here you can walk to the riverfront trail and the Arch grounds. In the evening there are many bars and live music venues. Visitors can also stop by the Eads Bridge, a steel arch bridge completed in 1874.
