About this venue
The Golden Record is a concert venue in St. Louis's Cherokee Arts District with a capacity of approximately 600 guests. Its distinctive street-facing facade, marked by large gold lettering, opens into a compact performance space where the stage remains close enough to the audience to give even larger shows an immediate, club-like atmosphere. The programme includes live music across different genres, comedy and other cultural and community events.
Most concerts are arranged as general-admission standing shows, with a limited number of seats available on a first-come, first-served basis. This layout strengthens the connection between performers and the audience and works particularly well for energetic live performances, while the venue's compact format keeps the stage feeling close from much of the room.
The venue is located at 2720 Cherokee St, St. Louis, United States. Visitors arriving by car can use several public and paid parking lots just off Cherokee Street, as well as on-street parking, leaving only a short walk to the entrance.

About the city: St. Louis
St. Louis, known as the “Gateway City,” is more than a key point on the map of the American Midwest—it’s also a strong hub for entertainment and major events. The city blends the energy of sports nights and concert spectacles with a relaxed, welcoming vibe, so attending an event often becomes just the beginning of a full experience. A diverse scene—from large arenas to urban venues downtown—makes St. Louis an appealing choice for travelers who want more than just a ticket.
One of the city’s biggest advantages is its smooth, practical connectivity. Local public transport, MetroLink and MetroBus, makes it easy to move between key neighborhoods and event zones, with a logical stop layout and solid links to major travel hubs. If you’re flying in, St. Louis Lambert International Airport is a convenient starting point for getting into the city, while train and coach travelers often use the Gateway Transportation Center (Amtrak). Whether you’re heading to the Enterprise Center or other major arenas and stadiums in and around downtown, the shift from travel mode to venue entrance is generally quick and straightforward.
Since you’re already in town, it’s worth using time before or after the event for a small sightseeing “bonus.” A walk along the Mississippi riverfront and a visit to Gateway Arch National Park deliver the city’s signature skyline moment, and it’s easy to add a loop through historic streets and lively neighborhoods filled with restaurants and bars. For a calmer break, Forest Park offers wide green spaces and cultural attractions—ideal for unwinding before an evening out.
