Description

Over the past few years, the Billiken Club on the campus of Saint Louis University has hosted some of the most sought after and critically-acclaimed indie rock acts, while giving local and regional performers a chance to open for national headliners.

All shows at the Billiken Club are free, and the performers are booked by the university committee, so there's a wide variety of student-sanctioned talent, which makes it a go-to spot for budget-friendly, very now music. It's a hipster mecca, despite the fact that they don't sell any liquor or PBR, just those brews that come with Schlafly or Anheuser-Busch/Inbev logos.

  • 2007 | Best Rock Club

    A college cafeteria by day and a makeshift venue at night, Saint Louis University's Billiken Club doesn't appear to be much of a rock club at first blush. But its amenities (great sound, cheap beer, and -- best of all -- never a cover charge) more than make up for whatever ambiance it lacks. Its slightly clandestine location led to some lower-than-expected turnouts in the past year -- about twenty people saw singer-songwriter Richard Swift turn out of a set of inspired Brill... More »
