About

Bar: Full bar

Downtown St. Louis is home to The Schlafly Tap Room, the city's original craft brewery. Opened in 1991 at 2100 Locust Street, it was the first new brewpub in Missouri since Prohibition. The space occupies a beautifully restored historic building originally built for the Swift Printing Company. Its steel girders and wood-and-brick interior create a casual earthy vibe. You'll find a mixed crowd of 30-somethings and a mix of gay and straight patrons enjoying European-style pub fare and a wide selection of beers.

This place is a local staple for good reason. They serve lunch and dinner daily with a full bar and happy hour. Outdoor seating and free wifi are available. Their menu focuses on salads, soups, and sandwiches crafted to complement their beers. They also offer brunch specials on weekends. The brewery's commitment to sourcing from local farms and businesses adds to its neighborhood feel. If you're exploring other food options nearby, Pappy's Smokehouse is another great stop. The vibe here stays consistently relaxed and welcoming.

Located in Downtown St. Louis near 21st Street, this spot is part of the city's historic brewing district.
