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.
