I had the BEST experience at Atelier 1879. The venue is gorgeous--tastefully appointed with…read morethoughtful details throughout; the owners, Adisa and Adnan, are true professionals; the pricing is very fair and totally transparent, and it is one price, i.e., no nickel-and-diming for extras. I hosted a surprise party here for my husband's birthday, and it went off without a hitch. Adisa and Adnan answered all my questions quickly in the months leading up to the surprise, and because an event was not planned the night beforehand, they even let me come and drop off beverages for chilling. We had Aya Sofia (Mediterranean restaurant in South STL City) cater the party, and they did a fantastic job of coordinating the drop-off and pick-up of their serving ware, and the food was a hit. We had an open self-service bar, which guests appreciated but did get a bit crowded as a lot of people tend to gather near the huge kitchen counter where the bar is located. The facility does have one step inside, but the Atelier 1879 team has made their facility fully accessible with a portable ramp that fits nicely over the step. Adisa and Adnan have thought of everything! Parking was not an issue for our guests. It's a residential neighborhood and is positioned next door to Yemanja Brasil Restaurant (which is delicious!). All in all, I could not have asked for a better venue and experience.

The decor is so fun- graffiti murals everywhere, so much color. Party lights and lasers to turn on to amp up the fun. Tons of seating, tons of sleeping areas, a projector, 2 large televisions, a full kitchen, large open space for dancing, Bluetooth speakers...I could go on and on. I have nothing to add to improve it. They have thought of everything. I love it and my daughter and friends are already requesting another event here...grad party maybe??? If you need a place to throw a fabulous event or just want to stay somewhere awesome after bar hopping through Soulard, this is your place!!!

We just recently attended an event called Cocktails & Croquet and this space was perfect. A little history, this space was formerly the Shaw Theatre, opening in 1915 which once seated about 1100 people for screenings, offering some neighborhood nostalgia. Then the theatre transitioned from a bustling movie spot to a corner store. Now, like described above, it's a beautiful event space.

This is great community center/meeting space. I was here for a local networking event. The space…read morewas large enough to accommodate 20 or so vendors (with room to spare). There was also enough room for setting up a food station. There were also drinks available the evening I was there- local beer from a keg, specialty cocktail of the evening, or soda. The building is obviously very old, but the interior seems very well kept. Seems like it was many buildings that have been converted into one- remember to look up while inside to see the unique architecture making up the roof/ceiling! There were some local kids running around the place, eating pizza, and playing games during the networking event. They were welcomed with open arms by the folks running the event. That just shows how awesome the owners are- welcoming everyone and really becoming a part of the community.

They even have a pizza oven and s'mores bar available. There's also a separate area on site you can use for your wedding ceremony. When you book with them, you have to use St. Louis Catering, but they do a good job, so it's cool. We had about 100 people come to our reception and this venue was a perfect size. There are separate dining and bar/dancing areas, as well as a parking lot. I'd definitely recommend this to people looking for a wedding reception venue.

It feels creative, fun, and unlike anywhere else. They had live music while we were there, which made the whole experience even better.

Highly recommend if you're looking for something unique and memorable in St. Louis.

The staff... wow.. another story.. Outside bar had an AMAZING waitress, Jess, that truely made our nights and was so awesome and fun. Jess deserves a raise and if you go to Venice cafe avoid literally any bar tender except for Jess. The old lady bar tender on inside bar took two extra dollars from me (I guess thinking I wasn't gonna tip? ) despite me leaving three on the bar and me pointing it out to her. Then a very very large brown haired curly bearded man completely ignored me at the bar, at like 4pm it was me standing directly in front of the bar by myself while he had co convos and gave bar backs shots. I couldn't have made this up.. I couldn't think of anything to even say to address that wasnt not kind or out of pocket so I left. It was an unreal experience and from what I've heard about management just from patrons there they wouldn't care anyway, it was alienating and gross behavior. Venice cafe had a good reputation and it was on my list forever, but I've already shared with more of my groups that we can go somewhere else and be treated much better. I'd second guess this option unless Jess is working outside in the bar.
