About Off Broadway

Off Broadway is an independent live-music venue in St. Louis’s Historic Cherokee Lemp District. Its brick building at 3509 Lemp Avenue contains a concert room and bar, with an outdoor patio providing another place to spend time on show nights. The venue presents touring and local acts across music genres. Compared with a reserved-seat theater, this is a venue where the particular show’s admission format matters: most events are general admission, and a ticket does not automatically provide a chair. The St. Louis concert calendar can help you compare dates, while the event details establish the performance you plan to attend.

Plan Your Visit to Off Broadway

Where is Off Broadway, and how do you get there?

Use 3509 Lemp Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63118 for directions. Off Broadway has street parking only. Do not park on President Street, in the gas station lot or in the Lemp Brewery lot. Those areas can lead to towing or a vehicle being locked in overnight, and the venue cannot resolve those problems. Read the parking signs rather than treating neighboring business lots as concert parking.

Off Broadway encourages rideshare. It is open on show nights rather than keeping general daily visitor hours, so plan around the doors time for your particular performance. The venue asks people not to arrive significantly before doors open and prohibits tailgating or gathering around parked cars and on the sidewalk.

What is the seating setup like?

Most shows are general admission, with no seats on the main floor. Other performances may offer limited first-come, first-served chairs or a seated main-floor arrangement. Balcony seating is also listed in the venue FAQ. The presence of seats somewhere in the building does not mean every general-admission guest receives one. Confirm the arrangement for your show before choosing a ticket if standing would be difficult.

The patio has seating for a break from the concert room. Guests who need seating assistance should contact Off Broadway about the specific performance. Do not assume that balcony seats, a main-floor chair or an accessible route to a particular area will be available without discussing your needs.

What should you know about entry, bags, age rules, and food?

Most shows welcome all ages, but the individual event can have different restrictions. Guests under 18 must attend with an adult aged 21 or older. Check the show’s age designation when planning a family visit; the general all-ages policy does not override a restriction for a particular night.

Leave bags larger than 12 x 6 x 12 inches at home. Bags may be inspected, and there is no coat check or storage service for personal belongings. Outside drinks and beverage containers are prohibited. The venue also prohibits smoking and vaping indoors. Keeping your belongings compact avoids bringing something that staff cannot hold for you.

What food, drinks and payment options are available?

The bar serves alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks and sells snacks. Outside food may be brought in and eaten on the patio, but outside beverages are not allowed. That distinction matters if you plan to eat before the music: permission for patio food is not permission to bring your own drinks.

Cash, credit and debit cards are accepted, but there is no ATM. Keep food and drinks attended, as staff clear unattended items during regular bussing. The patio is also used for private functions; Off Broadway rents the building for weddings and parties as well as presenting public concerts.

How can you arrange seating assistance?

Contact the venue about seating or accommodation needs for the actual show you intend to attend. Its FAQ invites these requests and says staff will help guests with disabilities where they can. Ask specifically about the route to your chosen area and any assistance you need, rather than assuming that a general-admission ticket settles those arrangements.

Can you take photos or record the show?

Phone still photography is generally permitted without flash. Be considerate of performers and other guests when using a phone. Professional photographers need written permission from the artist before the show and should be prepared to show that authorization at the door. Professional cameras and recording equipment cannot be treated like ordinary phone photography.

What should you know about tickets?

Off Broadway identifies Opendate as its primary ticketing partner and cautions that it cannot guarantee tickets bought through other sellers. This website is an independent ticket guide, not the venue box office. Keep your purchase confirmation and use the support channel belonging to your seller for an order question. Before leaving, confirm the event name, date and any age restriction against the performance you booked.

Off Broadway FAQs

Are doors and show times the same?

No. The official calendar identifies them separately for each show. Use the event’s doors time to plan entry and its show time for the performance.

Does general admission include a seat?

Usually not. Most main-floor shows are standing, with any limited seating depending on the performance. Contact the venue if a seat is necessary.

Where can I find upcoming shows?

The upcoming-events section matches this venue’s actual dates. Each event links to its details; the wider events calendar includes other St. Louis venues.

Can I store a large bag at the door?

No. There is no coat check or item-holding service. Leave oversized belongings elsewhere before coming to the venue.
