Lively neighborhood in Dogtown
Clayton-Tamm is a well-known neighborhood, but locals may not recognize it by this name – many St. Louisans know the area as part of Dogtown. “There are four little neighborhoods that make up Dogtown: Clayton-Tamm, Franz Park, Hi-Pointe and Cheltenham,” says Dan Lawless, a Realtor with Wood Brothers Realty who has been selling homes in the area for over five years. “Historically speaking, Dogtown was an old phrase used to reference a mining town.” The mining industry attracted Irish immigrants to the area in the mid-19th century, laying the foundation for what would become a vibrant neighborhood in the heart of St. Louis. “It’s a very cool area to be in. The walkability is high and there’s a nice retail area. It’s the ideal spot to be if you want to be smack dab in the middle of the city,” Lawless says.

Clayton Avenue and Tamm Avenue intersect in the middle of the neighborhood and are home to a charming collection of local shops and restaurants. “There’s great walkability in this area. You can find a lot of cool bars, microbreweries and nightlife,” Lawless says. The retail hub features Irish pubs, barbecue joints and small coffee shops, all within walking distance of homeowners in Clayton-Tamm. Popular spots for dining include Seamus McDaniel’s, a cozy Irish pub known for its wood-paneled interior, and Hogtown Smokehouse, a casual barbecue restaurant serving smoked meats and more.
