Enjoy a good fright? Check out the Lemp Mansion, a historic building that has been remodeled into a restaurant and cozy inn. Owned by the unfortunate Lemp family during the 1860s, the ghosts of this family supposedly haunt the mansion today. Each room has a tale of its own. Guests can take a tour of this historic and haunted mansion, participate in the Murder Mystery Dinner Theater on weekends and party with the ghosts during Halloween.

Swing by Club Viva! for some of the best Latin music in St. Louis. (And for the best mojito in the city!) Open Tuesday-Saturday, from 8pm-1:30am, this nightlife venue is meant for those looking to dance the night away. Don't know how to dance? Come by on Thursdays or Saturdays for free salsa lessons.
