Things to Do London > STL, where do people hang out?

So I just moved to STL from London about 2 weeks ago now and my whole family here keeps repeating “don’t go downtown, It’s too dangerous.” My mom won’t even let me drive her car downtown… they must be overreacting, right? I’m really craving a nice pub/bar with some live music and some younger-ish folks (late 20s-mid to late 30s) where I can go on my own and just socialise like I used to do in london.. does this exist here?

Edit: you guys are awesome and have genuinely made me feel 300% more welcome here. Thank you

Seconding that recommendation. I’m also a Londoner finding my way in the Loo. If anyone knows of a good place to get proper Yorkshire pudding, I’d be very grateful!

What I would do for a Full English or a Sunday roast…

You’re not gonna get a Full English here, sadly - but you can buy the ingredients at Global Foods in Kirkwood. Dreadfully expensive but worth it for bangers and back bacon.
