HAMMERSTONE’S
Hammerstone’s @ 9th & Russell is a beloved blues café and bar in Historic Soulard—located at 2028 S. 9th Street—that blends rich neighborhood charm with nonstop live music, serving performances seven nights a week plus weekend afternoons in a historic tavern setting. Since opening in 1997, just ahead of Mardi Gras, the spot has become a local fixture offering a full American menu—think breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, pizza, soups, salads, and starters—alongside an impressive beer list and a beautiful, year‑round patio. With a welcoming atmosphere that invites pre‑ or post‑game gatherings (complete with shuttle service), plus hearty food, cold drinks, and storytelling flair—including ghost stories from its owners—it’s no wonder Hammerstone’s feels like Soulard’s own Cheers.
