About The Upright

If you love good music, good drinks, and good company, you’ll feel right at home at The Upright Pub & Music Parlor. Founded by local music teachers, The Upright was created to keep live music thriving in O’Fallon and to offer a cozy, welcoming space where the community can gather and connect.

Housed in a beautifully updated 1907 building, The Upright blends the charm of an old-world pub with the vibrant energy of a local music venue. The space is intimate, eclectic, and full of personal touches, from the travel-inspired wall décor to a stage that puts the audience just feet from the performers.

Live music is the heartbeat of The Upright, with local musicians playing a variety of styles, from jazz and blues to bluegrass, country, and singer-songwriter originals. Weekly open mic nights and acoustic Wednesdays offer a platform for emerging talent.

Behind the bar, you’ll find a thoughtfully curated drink menu featuring classic cocktails (our Old Fashioned is a crowd favorite), seasonal creations, wine served in proper glasses, and a rotating beer selection. Don’t be surprised if you're handed some complimentary popcorn with your drink.

The Upright is more than just a pub. It’s a community space where music brings people together. With a welcoming atmosphere inside and a relaxed patio out back, it is like hanging out at a friend’s house, if that friend also happens to host live music every week.

Come for the drinks. Stay for the music. Be part of something local.
