The Pageant (also called The Pageant Concert Nightclub)[2] is a popular American nightclub in St. Louis, Missouri.

Built as a dedicated nightclub, The Pageant first opened its doors on October 19, 2000. It was named for a "long-gone Pageant movie theater" that once stood three blocks away.[2] Located in St. Louis at 6161 Delmar Boulevard on the east end of the Delmar Loop, The Pageant has been described by the Riverfront Times as "St. Louis' premier midsize venue".[1] Inside is a bar called The Halo Bar; as of December 2010, it was open every night regardless of whether there is a performance.[2]

In their worldwide ranking of top nightclubs by ticket sales, Pollstar ranked The Pageant 4th in 2008[3] and 6th in 2014.[4] Alex Young, writing for Consequence of Sound, said in 2009 that The Pageant put on great shows in a more-intimate setting than other venues which failed the test of time; he specifically called out the sound system, the parking available, and The Halo Bar.[5]
