Focal Point

The acoustics are great.
I've heard of the Focal point for years, but I've never been to see any music there. Boy was I missing out. Great atmosphere and they always have some great musicians playing.

Bring your own Wine/Beer and there is public off street parking very near.

The first date I ever went on when I moved to St. Louis was at the Focal Point so it will always be remembered as a good spot to spend some time.

Thank god it was a good date or maybe this review wouldn't be so shining.

What I love most about this venue is that you can pick music to your taste and plan a night, or just show up and learn about some new style you haven't given much thought to.

Oh yeah, and if you're gonna wing it make sure you bring some canned goods as sometimes that's the preferred payment  option.

The Focal Point will always hold a special place in my heart.

My first boyfriend and I used to go there all the time when they were located in Webster Groves. We'd take swing dancing lessons and then participate in open dancing. It was the most fun I'd ever had in my life. The classes were fun and easy to understand and it didn't cost much at all.

They advertise the dance lessons on their site, which also include English Country dancing and Zydeco/Cajun dancing.

They even have poetry readings and all manner of musical performances. It's in a super location and it's really a lovely venue, fun for the whole family.
