My girlfriend and I are taking a road trip to St. Louis and are looking for any recommendations for hotels and attractions. We are planning on seeing the arch, brewery, and the zoo so far. Are there any others? Good bars also?

If you are coming here in October there are TONS of haunted houses. Six Flags Fright Fest isn't good for scare-factor but the rides are fun. The Darkness is really creepy. There is also the Lemp Manison.
If you aren't too afraid of heights there is this place called The City Museum (citymuseum.org) and they have this big structure outside you can climb on-- it's really fun. On some nights they also have live music and adult "party" type deals there.
There is also the Botanical Gardens-- beautiful flowers and such there.
As for eating out: There are many italian places on "The Hill", you can basically just drive down there and take your pick. For mexican there is Hacienda in Rock Hill-- it's very good. For greek there is Olympia. (you can look up all of these and more at stltoday.com -- go to the entertianment section.)
Oh, and for bars and clubs you should just go down to Washington Street or Laclede's Landing. Tons of them there. (you can look those up at stltoday.com--entertianment section as well)

Botanical Gardens, Forest Park, "The Hill" real Italian neighborhood, the Zoo is free, tour the Anheiser-Busch brewery, new Busch Stadium, Jefferson Memorial (aka the Arch). Harrahs and Ameristar casinos if you like , come over to Illinois and go to Pere Marquette state park, the fall colors and the bluffs are beautiful, take the ferry across the Mississippi to Grafton, the Loading Dock resturant and bar is right on the confluence of the MS and IL rivers, then go to Alton along the Great River road.

You've listed a lot of the must see's....I would add MO Botanical Garden especially if you get here before end of Oct., Chihuly exhibit with special evening events on Monday and Thursday. City Museum and the Clubs along Washington Avenue are fun. Blues bars just south of the stadium (BB's, Beale on Broadway and Broadway Oyster Bar) all have nightly music. As far as hotels, the Westin downtown is amazing and regularly voted #1 Westin in US - close to Metrolink which will get you almost anywhere you want to go without driving. Other good bars in Soulard and Central West End.

If you're coming here in October, there's Fright Fest at Six Flags. I also recommend the Science Center, the U. City Loop, and the City Museum. As for bars, you'll probably find something you like in Soulard or Laclede's Landing.

Well, depends on what kind of bars you like. I prefer this little corner Irish pub called omalley's. Its in the soulard area on cherokee and lemp. It is right next to the old lemp brewery. Try to get to the lemp mansion. It is reportedly haunted cause after the lemp brewery failed they were murders and suicides that occured in the house. If you want adult entertainment, we have some premier gentlmens clubs. We have penthouse and Hustler clubs here. I would stick with those. If you get the local ones you get a lesser caliber of lady.

Make sure when u go to the arch to see the video on how it was built;it is below the arch;kind of boring video yet interesting
u could also go to the Ulysses S.Grant home that was kinda cool
