The Grove is a business district located between Vandeventer and Kingshighway in St. Louis, MO. It is conveniently located near Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University School of Medicine, Forest Park, and Tower Grove Park.
Attractions
The Grove is an up and coming business district in St. Louis, and has several bars and restaurants including the Atomic Cowboy, Sanctuaria Tapas, Novak’s, renowned soul food restaurant Sweetie Pie’s, as well as music venue and bar The Gramophone. Several businesses were featured in the Best Of List [1] of Riverfront Times
The Grove is also home to a growing number of public art pieces, primarily murals worked on by local artist Grace McCammond.[2]
Recently, The Grove became the first area in St. Louis to install an overhanging neon sign to mark the entry of the business district. The Grove entry marker was a two year, $60,000 project funded and facilitated by several neighborhood entities including Forest Park South Business Association, The Grove CID, Tarlton Corporation, and Washington University Redevelopment Medical Corporation.[3]
History

"The Grove" played off of "The Adams Grove" and Tower Grove Avenue that intersects the Forest Park Southeast neighborhood. It used to be called "The Manchester Strip".
The first marketing scheme was called "Halfway To Everywhere", but has since been replaced by the new logo and website that asked the question "Are You In?".[4]

The Grove has hosted Grove Fest for the past five years, starting in 2005. Grove Fest is a neighborhood street festival that promotes its businesses, featuring live bands and DJs, street performers, food, beverage, clothing, jewelry, and art vendors and more.
