Interesting location for the beer garden, in the middle of the park and right next to the tennis courts. Lots of picnic tables to sit at and some TVs mounted if you want something to watch. Looks like they converted an old concession stand into a pizza and beer location! Nice reuse of space. We came on a Saturday and saw lots of people gathered and having parties. Relaxed atmosphere with several dogs. We tried the Broccwell pizza, which was ok. Kind of undercooked and floppy for a thin crust, but tasty otherwise. We also split a pitcher of Copper lager which was nice, along with trying a boozey lemonade. Total with tip came to a little over $60. read more

Pro Tip: If you visit Rockwell Beer Garden on an evening when a local running group is running a promotion and tell them you're a member of the group, they'll give you 15% off, even on the beer. It might be the only remaining good deal in dining out, thanks to a certain individual who shall not be named--though he's probably taking a nap right now anyway. LOL It would probably help if you were wearing running clothes. If you showed up in business casual attire, they might think you were trying to pull a fast one. If you wanted to, you could even take a lap around the block. You know, build up an appetite, not to mention thirst. It's a fine park and seemingly a lovely area, despite being in the city. It has an old-timey charm that my native West County (obvs) is sorely lacking. Who would have ever thought, a beer garden in a public park? Some parks, they don't even want you to stand around and drink beer. Or so I've been told. Is the price keeping this place from being overrun with the local "unhoused" population? BYOB is strictly prohibited, per signs posted near the seating area, though there didn't seem to be any cops nearby. I checked, natch. If you have the means, there's not much you could bring that's on a par with what's on offer. Let it be known: The fare at Rockwell Beer Garden is wholly superior to a Jack's frozen pizza and a 32 oz can of Miller High Life, though the pizza is disturbingly similar-looking to the former. Really, if I had to describe it, I'd say it's an elevated Jack's frozen pizza. It's roughly the same size. It's cut into squares, but it's not St. Louis style. The cheese is not provel. (Boo!) It's mozzarella. It's seemingly of a high quality and generously applied. The crust is similarly thin, but not quite as crisp, except at the edges, which are a bit burned, giving it a classy, artisanal vibe. It's not the best pizza you can get from a local brewery, but it's better than it looks. (They can quote me on that, if they want to.) I asked the young brother working the register if he had a recommendation for beer. He seemed stumped, like he's never drunk a beer before. He may have been there on a mission. I did see a row of bicycles nearby. On a whim, I went with something called Son of Juice, which calls to mind both Son of Bazerk and the guy who actually did the scratches on Nation of Millions (just nod along like you know what I'm talking about). After I ordered, the girl standing next to him recommended it to someone else, so I knew I'd made a good choice. She described it as citrus-y. It had a vibe similar to orange juice but with less tang than you'd expect from something described as citrus-y. Which I appreciated. It's also a bit higher gravity than you'd think for something with a fruity flavor. It would make for a tasty breakfast. And an economical one, once you factor in the discount. read more

We got two pizzas, one classic margarita and the Brocwell. We really enjoyed both of them. Love the thin crust. Doesn't make you feel overly full and the flavors were yummy! Love the atmosphere being in the park. Service was fast and convenient. Enjoyed being able to watch the game on the screens while being covered on the patio. Will come back! read more

Love the patio at Rockwell Beer Garden! Conveniently located in Francis Park makes for a great chance to get outside and grab a beer after! This was my first time getting their pizza along with a beer and it was really tasty. Pretty good amount of seating and they had trivia on Tuesday at 7. Sit on the Eichelberger side of the patio to participate though, unfortunately we were on the wrong side and by the time we realized, the tables on that side were full so we'll have to go back for trivia! read more

Whenever we are wanting to sit outside and have an adult beverage, we usually end up coming here. There's usually a little bit of a line to get food and drinks, but it moves pretty quickly. Employees are always very friendly. I tried the coconut espresso martini this time around and it was delicious. My husband had a whiskey sour and enjoyed it as well. My daughter got a cherry lemonade and really liked it. I love that it is dog friendly so there's usually loads of puppies to pet. We really like animals so that is a feature that we really enjoy. I have not tried the food. It's located in Francis Park so there are lot of kids running around. It's a very family friendly area. read more

I feel like all winter, I hold on, waiting for PATIO SEASON. Then of course I rate the best patios all summer long, because at home I am deprived of my own personal outdoor space. This Rockwell location is so close, it may as well be my own personal outdoor space. I remember the neighbors voting against this for Rockwell and I have to imagine those people are eating their words now. This is the best outdoor space in STL, if not the best, at least top 5. They have fans for when the weather is sweltering, they have water out and ready, they have great seating and even a fireplace to extend their season. You get a great dreamy walk (really it's not that far) to Rockwell, in the center of the park and before you know it you can see the pergolas with twinkle lights, also my favorite. I understand they have coffee and maybe pastries in the mornings, but I have not gotten to take advantage of this beautiful space in the morning. read more

Rockwell Beer Garden - Seltzer on a sunny afternoon - Pizza Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

What a great place to come on a beautiful Thursday evening. The market is at the park and why not stop by and have a beer and pizza afterwards. Loved sitting here watching everybody out and about playing at the park and on the tennis courts. When we went up to order, we were surprised how many items on the menu had an X on them as they were out of them especially for the beers considering this is a beer place. What we did order was good and we enjoyed it. read more

Nice little terrace on the edge of Francis Park. Drinks were on the pricey side ($11-13 a piece) but they were extremely strong to make up for it. The food was slightly above concession stand quality. The Texan Pizza was tasty but the hot honey was doing a lot of the work. Caprese Sandwich and the Hot Dog were fine. All the workers in the stand were friendly and everything was ready for pick-up pretty quickly after ordering. read more

A really great place to hang out when the weather is nice! There is plenty of seating for groups of any size. They have drinks for everyone, even kids. We loved the pretzel bites and the margarita pizza! Only suggestion is if you are wanting pizza to get there a little earlier because both times I have come, they ran out pretty early in the night! read more

We walked through St. Francis park to get some food and drinks at Rockwell Beer Garden. I ordered a lemonade and pizza Margherita. They text you when your order is ready. It's all outside sitting under covered picnic tables with fans. The pizza Margherita was good. It was cooked perfectly. The pizza could use more basil and it was missing thin slices of tomatoes. The lemonade didn't taste freshly squeezed but who does nowadays. The atmosphere is the key at this restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff. read more

My first visit at Rockwell this year was a good one! We came on a Sunday, and to me, this screams Sunday Funday vibes. I absolutely love this place because of their awesome patio, patio lights, the location of being in a park, their drink options, and the chill vibes. I'm. It a huge beer drinker and they have options to choose from if you're like me. Their menu changes but I had a spritz like drink and ended up getting a Passing Clouds which is their wheat beer. I've had it before and it was good. Seating goes fast so snag it while you can when you see an open one! read more

For those in the know in and around Francis Park, Rockwell is a bit of a secret. Honestly, the food is slightly better than okay, i.e., pizzas, pretzels, hot dogs, although they do have a good beer selection. What merits the 4 stars is the cool factor of the place, especially with Tuesday night trivia. You can come, but don't tell anyone about it :-) read more

Rockwell Beer Garden is close, accessible, a relatively good amount of parking - I mean, it's in the park... I've been here a number of times - just for drinks in the evening, a coffee in the morning before a stroll in the park, and for the food. They seem to be expanding their food menu, so always keep an eye out! The line for food and drinks can get long, but if you go at off-hours, you shouldn't have to wait long to order or to receive your food. I definitely recommend stopping by, meeting up with some friends, or even just grabbing a drink before taking a walk! We will always keep coming back. read more

What a cute location located in the park! You order at a "stand" and chose whatever seat you want. It's awesome you can chose the picnic tables or just have your own picnic in the park. The selection of foods was impressive, I have to come back for the pizzas. The beers were great and cold. I loved that on Thursday in the summer there is a farmers market. That was fun to walk around and grab more goodies. There is tons of parking around the park you do have to walk a bit to actually get to the beer garden but it's a nice walk. read more

I enjoyed the brocwell pizza and the broccoli was cooked well and I had a cold brew coffee. It's a very pleasant setting in Francis Park.

I had a very hard day at the hospital. Stopped by for a couple of beers since it was close to both the hospital and home. Beers were refreshing and just what I needed. I even got a 4 pack for home. There was a huge crowd for a Friday night. Had my card charged and then declined. Bartender charged my card again. Noticed that I was double charged on my credit card account and let bartender know. Even though there was a giant line he checked with manager to make sure my card was not double charged. It was only charged once according to their accounts. He let me know if there was a problem to come back, and they would make it right. Great service to ensure that I wasn't charged $60 for a 4 pack and 2 beers. read more

Super fun family friendly spot to hangout! Had great food, decent drink options for beer and wine. Workers were nice and even made an off menu Espresso martini! Right next to playground, tennis and pickleball courts. I look forward to going again! Pizza and pretzels were delicious too! read more

We visited Rockwell Beer Garden for the first time during the week and I was pretty busy. We waited in a long line to order but they kept it moving pretty well. My husband ordered a beer and I got a tequila cocktail which were both good. We also ordered the pepperoni and Emilia pizzas to share with family. The pizza was good we ate all of that and probably could have had one more with our two kids. I did notice that there were a ton of families enjoying this space so it might be worthwhile to add some kids items to the menu. read more

We really enjoy this space a lot... the kids can play at the park, you can bring dogs, check out Chess pieces from the bartender, and drink beer or a delightful Old Fashioned while sitting outside. They have a variety of food and light bites that lend well to an outdoor gathering area. They have pickleball courts and dreamy stringy lights above the seating area; definitely would enjoy going back at night. Food was delivered quickly and cocktails were made as you ordered at the window. Prices are reasonable. read more

I came here on a date and that was the best, light but filling pizza I've ever had here in St. Louis. Everyone else can keep Imo's. This place is truly a hidden gem for pizza! read more

Checked out Rockwell Beer Garden for an early happy hour, what a cool neighborhood vibe! This awesome little hangout is in the middle of Francis Park, so you can come walk your dog, play pickleball, tennis, do yoga, chase butterflies, whatever...and then stop off for a relaxing drink or two and have some noms (really good noms by the way!) We happened to arrive right after a quick rain shower had gone through so everything was a bit damp but that didn't stop people from showing up! They have their Rockwell beer of course, as well as some hard liquor, mixed drinks and wine, Cider, etc. You can order pizza, nachos, pretzel bites and things of this nature (limited but good menu). They take your phone number and text you when your food order is ready for pickup. This is a cashless venue, but that's not a big deal! And it is VERY dog friendly! Bring your fur babies along!!! Come check out this calm vibe in Francis Park! read more

Had a great time hanging out at Rockwell Beer Garden after picking up some Sangria starter from Southside Alchemy and veggies from the Tower Grove Thursday evening market. It was a beautiful Thursday evening. Enjoyed my Watermelon Sugar High cocktail while waiting for our pizzas. They were honest about the hour plus wait for pizza but it wasn't unexpected with how busy they were. Pizza came out right at an hour and fifteen and it was so good. We got a Just Pepperoni and a Supreme. Would order both again, for sure. We ate, sharing picnic table space with another group. Just know to expect that when they are crowded. Wasn't a problem at all. Go, enjoy the night with friends. Order some cocktails or beer and a couple of pizzas. It's a great time. read more

The food and drinks both were fantastic. So was the park and everything happening around us. I can't wait to go back in the fall.

Spring is almost here, but super glad they opened Rockwell Beer Garden already this year! Thank God the weather was so nice their opening week! Great place to hang out with friends, day drink, and eat food. Place is family-friendly, Kid-friendly, and Pet-friendly. I'll have to bring my cat in a stroller one day! :) DONT JUDGE ME! Their Bourbon Smash was refreshing and delicious. However, the paper straws they provided does not work because the ice is too thick for it to go through. You may have to drink it out of the cup. Many variety of drinks: Coffee, beers, wines, non-alcoholic beers, frozen drinks, etc. Go check it out! Few inconveniences: Parking and Bathroom There is only street parking (that I know of) Only one bathroom There is another bathroom across the playground if you do not mind walking. read more

When I first heard about the beer garden going into Francis Park it was just a blip on the radar for me and I wasn't sure what to expect. The only association I had for the park was that my in-laws had met there while playing tennis. I'm happy to say the tennis courts are still there and have been joined by pickle ball courts. In terms of the beer garden is is a repurposing of an existing modest structure. You order at a window and then can take a seat at any of a number of picnic tables. There are maybe thirty or so tables sitting on a newly constructed outdoor area. It is immediately adjacent to the tennis/pickleball courts and it gives you the feel of being part of the neighborhood. There is a playground a short distance away in the park and we have started using the beer garden as a nice summer hangout spot for us and our friends with kids. The kiddos go and play while the parents wait for food. Some of the parents just chill at the tables and drink while other parents chaperone. Once the food is ready we all congregate back at the tables. The beer is good and similar to what you get at the main Rockwell establishment. The food is primarily pizza and then appetizers. We tend to get the grilled veggies as well as a sampler platter that has pickled veggies, cheese curds, pretzels, and then some G&W meat sticks. The pizza is very good as well. Overall the beer garden is a great addition to Francis Park and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a chill outdoor place to grab some food and/or a beverage. Even better, when you are done you are just a short walk/drive away from Ted Drewes! read more

Visiting the beer garden on a Sunday afternoon is something I recommend for everyone! The location is super perfect to meet up for some drinks and to enjoy the outdoors. You can also ask for a pitcher of beer which is a good way to share with friends! I ordered my drinks at the walk-up window and they serve the beers with a smile. They have plenty of seating and there is also so much space in the park to put a blanket down for a picnic. If you have kiddos with you, you can grab a drink and then go watch your kids play at the playground which is super close. Each of the drinks I ordered were super tasty and when it was time for a snack, we opted for a pizza which was cooked to order and took about 10 minutes of waiting which is not bad at all for a pizza. They give you a pager when you order and then when your pager goes off, you can walk to the pick-up window. It's a good system and process. I really love this location of Rockwell and can't wait to visit again soon! read more

Great location right next to a playground and pickleball courts with street parking. The outdoor ambiance is lovely with string lights and ample seating. The kids enjoyed watching them prepare the pizza crust through the window. You order at the window and then they text you when the food is ready. Unfortunately, it took them more than 30 minutes to prepare our appetizer (pretzel bites with beer cheese), and 45 minutes to prepare the thin-crust pizzas. The pretzel bites and the pepperoni pizza were good, but on the smaller side for portion size. We also tried the snack basket which was interesting--I liked the beef bites which are similar to beef snack sticks. read more

Good pizza, good beer. The food and drinks itself very very good but the reason to come here is certainly the ambiance. It's an outdoor patio area where you can talk with friends on a nice sunny day and drink a cocktail or beer. The food menu seemed quite limited and half the menu was just pizza. The food also took quite a while to come out, like 40+ minutes. Location is next to the tennis courts of a park, so there is parking for the park itself as well as street parking nearby. Overall, it's a good place to catch up with friends and chill out on a nice day. read more

My 1700th review. I love Francis Park and I'm a Rockwell Beer fan. Obviously I was here for the pizza though! Pizza is my one true love. So I ordered Pepperoni. It's a thin and crisp crust topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Ezzo pepperoni and cut in squares tavern style. If you don't know what Ezzo pepperoni is it's made to cup and char at a high heat. Yes, the casing on the edges gets crisp, the pepperoni cups, and a little pool of grease collects in the cup. It's blissful. This was an excellent pizza. I paired it with the Rockwell Passing Clouds. My dinner date went with the Margherita pizza. Next time I will try the Emilia or the special. Great addition to Francis Park and St. Louis Hills! read more

When I heard there was a new beer patio in St. Louis that I had yet to try, I knew I had to check it out. Rockwell Beer Garden is located inside Francis Park adjacent to the playground and tennis/pickleball courts. You order at a window and have a selection of 15-20 shaded (daytime) and fully-lit (nighttime) picnic tables to choose from for seating. They offer concessions of weekdays and the full kitchen menu is available on weekends, which includes pizza and appetizers. They also offer a variety of different drinks from specialty coffee, to beer, to wine, to cocktails, making it so that there is something for everyone. I ordered the Ward 8 and a friend of mine ordered the Watermelon Sugar High, which are just a few of their signature drinks. While I enjoyed my drink, with a price tag of $14 including tip, I may stick with beer on my next visit. Also, worth noting, outside food is not permitted on the patio. Overall, Rockwell Beer Garden is a great addition to Francis Park, which is well kept and has excellent free amenities. This will certainly be one of my summer go-to locations with friends. read more
