It's on Vandeventer, just outside the Grove. Good looking space, and I like the beers I've had so far. Food looks good. I went last week. It’s good. I had forgotten that the food operation is affiliated with Gerard Craft. The burger and fries were really good. They’re similar to some of the more modern style burger places (i.e. Hi Pointe Drive In). An interesting aspect of their business model: they’re a “no tipping” establishment. After not seeing a place to add a tip on the screen when I closed out my tab, I tried to leave a tip on the bar as I left. I was informed that they don’t accept tips, and that they pay their employees a wage high enough to not require tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I receive really outstanding service I wan’t to be able to reward that, regardless of the hourly rate the server is being paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a container on the counter that says if you insist on tipping leave it here and it will be donated to the Boys and Girls club of Saint Louis.

Went once for beer after a game, but tried to return for a burger and beer before a game and it was closed. Definitely need to get back, good reminder.
