Old Rock House

Old Rock House is at 1200 South 7th Street in St. Louis, Missouri, in the area between Soulard and Busch Stadium. The official site also notes that it shares an operator with The Sovereign, but the two are separate venues at different addresses, so don’t treat them as one combined campus.

For visitors, the most useful planning detail is parking: the venue says there is free rear parking and a lot across Hickory, with one important exception. For outdoor events, parking details can change, and during Cardinals games the Hickory lot is not free, though the rear lot remains free.

Old Rock House is generally set up as a standing-room venue, with seating available only in limited fashion and mainly on a first-come basis unless the event is posted differently. In other words, many concerts will be mostly standing, so if you prefer a seat, it’s best to expect that seating may be scarce and not guaranteed.

Because the room can change by event, the best rule is to check the specific listing rather than assume a fixed layout. The venue’s general admission setup is the default, but individual bookings may post a different arrangement.

The venue says bags are searched at entry, but it does not publish a specific bag-size limit. Guests should also expect a smoke-free indoor environment and should not bring outside drinks.

Photography is allowed for phones, but professional camera gear, detachable lenses, flash, and recording equipment require permission. For families, children age 3 and under do not need a ticket, while children age 4 and older require a ticket; however, event-specific age restrictions can still apply.

Old Rock House accepts cash and major credit cards. The bar is pay-as-you-go, and the venue does not allow outside drinks. That means it’s worth planning your visit as you would for a standard concert bar setup, with purchases made on site rather than brought in from outside.

The venue says guests with accommodation requests should call the office before the event.

For Old Rock House presented shows, Etix is the primary ticketing channel. Shows presented by outside promoters may use their own ticketing channels instead. The box office is open on show nights, but it is not a public box office for private events.
