A lot of hard work and countless hours have been poured into this place over the past few years to bring it back to this beautiful place. We attended a great concert there recently, which was a Def Leppard Tribute band. It was a great show. We can't wait to get back! They have a full lineup of shows heading into fall. There really aren't any food or snack options, at least not yet. There are plenty of drink choices, including water, soda and wines and seltzers. They also take credit card payments.

The two spaces were clean, spacious, and worked well with our color scheme and table decor. The C2C staff was great and helpful in the planning, setup, and exercution of our special day.

The main banquet hall is spacious enough for a big crowd and band, the kitchen is large, the bar/lounge area is very nice and comfortable, and the bathrooms were immaculate.

We couldn't be happier with our choice to go with SJMBC Celebration 2 Center for our event and 100% recommend it.

This beautiful bar is inside the Union Station Hotel in the heart of Downtown STL. This is the…read more"hotel bar" if you will but it's honestly so much more. The paintings and stained glass surrounding the bar are stunning. Every hour, on the hour until 11pm they do a music and light show. I watched while enjoying a glass of Prosecco. You can order food from the restaurant at the bar and enjoy at the bar or one of the surrounding tables. Definitely worth checking out!

Most train stations from this era have an impressive lounge area but the Grand Hall at the St…read more Louis Union Station is honestly top tier from a design perspective. It's honestly breathtaking and it makes me wish we put this much artistry into modern airports. I feel as if folks from the 1920s would think we'd really gone downhill if this was their baseline for travel decor. I love that this space has been transformed into an elegant hotel lobby and that you can work from here, or enjoy a coffee or beer while taking in the impressive ambiance of the space. Something I didn't love was the giant roach I saw scurry by, and also that you aren't allowed to bring in outside food or drink. I do get that they have a kitchen, but it's also the hotel lobby and I tend to think a hotel lobby should function as a gathering place and be a little more welcoming in that way. Just a small note though. It is a gorgeous space.

This place is really cute with a warm, retro vibe. They have $5 cocktails all day on Sundays, which…read moreis a steal! I had a cosmo and a passion fruit cocktail and both were well-crafted and tasty. The bartender was friendly and told us how she curated the menu. The best part for us is that Buoy's Southern next door will deliver food to you at the bar and their food is AMAZING! Their catfish nuggets are some of the best fried fish I have ever had and they serve it with their homemade cajun tartar sauce. I still dream about them, so will have to go back soon. We plan to come back for Manhattan's holiday pop-up experience as well.

Okay, let's stop the rant right there and turn this thing around: Next year, head to St. Joseph's Croatian Hall. Yes, it's a church. But Croatians wrote the book on breaking the rules of engagement. Slivo shots before mass, on the premises? Not unheard of. Slivo shots after mass? Standard. What I'm trying to say is... you won't be missing anything by making St. Jo's your MGHQ. The perks: - Free parking in lot if you get in by 9am (for the true warriors, indeed) - $5 cover gets you in/out privileges all day - Beer hall-style seating in the old hall and round tables in the new hall - Clean restrooms in both halls (short lines!) - An adorable (too young for me) DJ who'll play all your requests (Shake Your Tail Feather, anyone?) - $3 beer/$6 hurricanes/and unlimited I'm-sure-they're-cheap brandy shots - $6 turkey legs, $5 hamburgers and $1 warm + soft pretzels - Free battered and bruised love life empathy from old Croatian men who nod in understanding but don't understand a damn word you're saying (yes, I witnessed this) - If you end up *falling asleep* here, you're stumbling distance from either the 8am English mass or 10am Croatian mass Now if I could just wash away this stamp... 'til next year, St. Jo's! *Cash only.

It is very much a full-service small-town neighborhood bar. There's plenty of seating, shuffleboard, several video games including PowerPutt, an ATM, a nice patio area, and several additional rooms.There's also several displays of medals and war memorabilia. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. We happened to be here on Veteran's Day and the place was absolutely packed, but the bartender and other employees/volunteers were happy to take some time to talk with us. At the end of our visit we bought 20 drink tokens and passed them around to as many veterans as we could find to thank them for their service. :)
