The Hottest Hookup Bars in St. Louis [PHOTOS]

Nick’s is probably St. Louis’ hookup headquarters. People come here to drink and maybe pick up a little something extra. It’s a 3 a.m. bar so people start to pair off around 2 a.m.

This family-friendly joint might seem like a weird place to find a new special friend, but the bar is always crammed full of neighborhood locals who are hot to trot and have beds within blocks of the place.

All of Soulard is a meat market, but McGurk’s is the best place to go if you want to get slutty. Something about that big, beautiful courtyard just makes the romance flow.

Most young people prefer to find their next hookup on an app, where the selection is huge. But if you’re young and you like to see your next mate in person first, the Armory is the place to be.

The fantastic back patio at Molly’s in Soulard is Hookup City in the summer when fun-seeking St. Louisans come out to get a taste of the neighborhood.

The room is dark. The music is loud. The people are the perfect amount of sweaty. This LGBTQ+ bar is the perfect place to find Mr. Right For The Night.

It’s easy to transition to horizontal dancing after you’ve been doing it vertically all night. People come to Club Viva to dance and then maybe do a little solo tango later in bed.

If you’re looking to hook up with a hipster, check out ‘ssippi. In addition to not using proper capitalization in its name, this place is a “Cherokee Street natural wine bar.” So hip.

Located on the rooftop of the Four Seasons by the Arch, the bar at Cinder House will serve you high end cocktails with a fabulous view that serves as an aphrodisiac. Strictly for the grown and sexy, this bar also has the advantage of being in a hotel, so there are always available beds nearby.

Rehab is the perfect bar to visit if you’re feeling like a daytime hookup. Though open at night, this place is poppin’ all day long and often hosts drag shows and other entertainment.

The drinks flow, the crowd is young and nobody has any issues here with having a full make out session in public. If you’re young and hot, you can clean up at Ballpark Village.

The reason to visit is right there in the name of the bar. This seedy karaoke joint has a stripper pole on site and all manner of people ready to meet a new friend and get down.

This bustling (and massive) Mexican restaurant has been a part of the St. Louis food scene for decades, but did you know that it’s also known as a place where older folks are always finding a hot hookup? Must be the margaritas.

Divorced moms need love, too, and if you want to help out a newly single woman who is just finding her way out in the world again with a little lovin’, there’s always a selection to choose from in the bars at the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles.

It’s nothing special, but this Irish bar is the perfect place to find a hookup downtown after a big hockey or baseball game. It’s crowded, the drinks are cheap for downtown and the guests are usually amped up and ready to get down.

This is the perfect place to find a person if you want to hook up but you aren’t very smooth. After you’ve bought your future hookup a drink, you can buy them a tarot reading, too, and ask the stars if you’ll wake up together.
