About this Location

Facility Overview

The 400 N 6th St Garage is a strategically positioned, multi-level covered parking facility located in the heart of Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Situated at the crossroads of North 6th Street between Locust Street and Washington Avenue, this parking structure serves as a primary hub for corporate commuters, convention visitors, sports fans, and weekend revelers exploring the vibrant Mercantile Exchange (MX) District. The garage features well-engineered multi-tier decks that protect vehicles from seasonal weather conditions, ranging from summer heatwaves to winter snow and ice. The facility features standard height clearances (typically around 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet), making it ideal for standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, minivans, and mid-sized SUVs. Drivers operating lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles with oversized rooftop cargo boxes should check posted height warnings at the entrance before entering.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth parking experience, keep these practical recommendations in mind:

Plan Around Dome Events: During large-scale concerts, motor sports events, or conventions at The Dome, traffic on North 6th Street builds quickly. Plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes before scheduled event times.
Pre-Book Your Space: When available through third-party parking reservation apps, reserve your parking pass ahead of time to lock in guaranteed entry and avoid peak event rates.
Note Your Floor & Column: Multi-tier garages can look similar across different levels; snap a quick smartphone photo of your parking pillar or level marker before exiting to the street.
Heed Headroom Limits: If your vehicle is equipped with roof racks, crossbars, or aftermarket lifts, double-check the physical clearance bar at the entrance gate before pulling forward.
