Schlafly Bottleworks

Very good Brew Pub & Restaurant. About a dozen brews on tap, all very good representations of their style. Good selection of beer to purchase in the gift shop or purchase a growler from the bar. Decent menu designed around local produce and meats (all organic). A completely menu selection from the Schlafly Taproom downtown.

Visited during their Repeal of Prohibition celebration and had dinner there later. This is a much nicer and more modern place than I expected. The brewery side is visible from the restaurant / gift shop and that is always cool. Lots of Schlafly merchandise on sale and their beers as well. Food selection was unique in that no beef was on the menu but lots of buffalo dishes. I had buffalo nachos and my wife had buffalo meatloaf. Both were very good. This is a completely different ambiance from the Taproom and is more spacious, open and modern.

Strange seating arrangement as I came with my wife and was seated directlt next to another couple. Much to my delight, they were very into beer and were Schlafly regulars so I was able to learn a lot about the brewery and the the other brewers in town. The two beers I had were excellent and I thought the calzone was as well. There were eight beers on tap and seven available in bottles in the gift shop. It is non-smoking, always a plus. I will stop again when in the area, I really enjoyed my time here.

I live down the street and for some reason I still haven’t had the chance to eat the food, although from what I hear I’m not missing much. It’s a pricey joint if you ask me, but I’m a poor college student. I happen to love Schlafly’s beer, probably because it’s one of the few breweries around me, it’s always fresh for me, whenever I want it (within reason) I am disapointed that they only have a few of there beers on tap here.

I hesitate to give this an overwhelming rating because the area doesn’t have much else to compare to...this is a major reason why I think Schlafly in general receives such support. There just isn’t anything else. At bottleworks the service is always hit or miss and the food is the same way, I do love the nachos and pulled pork though. But I’m generally dissatisfied with the beer. Whey can’t such a dominate force in such a big beer drinking city make better beer? Despite my reluctance I usually end up going back. Worth a stop if you’ve never been. Just try some of the darker ales - oatmeal stout, irish extra stout and maplewood aren’t bad.

SMOKE FREE! Nice restaurant/brewery in an old neighborhood supermarket. Currently has a nice display of St. Louis brewing history, impressive breweriana and photos of old German biergartens. Menu emphasises organics and local produce. I had a nice brunch fritatta and a sampler tray, then repair to the bar to sample the rest of their taps. Bartender had four more samples in front of me before I could finally make her isell/i me a beer–they appreciate the beer geek there–and even popped a bottle of an off-tap beer so I could taste a sample. Good-sized retail space with all current bottles, sales on near-end-of-date cases, and good prices on 750 ml barleywine and biere de garde.

Place rating 11.9 Stopped by on a Saturday night. Place was packed. Nice place, clean and a classy joint. The entire inside is non-smoking which is awesome. NIce patio. I have consistantly been unimpressed with Schlaflys food but this is still a great bar and should be checked out if in town.

Great food. Good people. If you like beer and mussels this is the place to be.

I still prefer the original St Louis taproom, but the Schlafly bottleworks is a nice place, too. While the Taproom is brickclad and downtowny, the Bottleworks is glitzy and suburban. Same great beers, for the most part, although I think the Taproom has a better selection. The food is great at either locale, as well.

Just stopped by for some beer. It turns out they only have six of their beers on tap, which is kinda disappointing. The beer was pretty good though. Didn’t try the food and the service was OK. We also looked at the gift shop, which had a couple of other beers that weren’t on tap. Crowd seemed to be in their thirties. Not too crowded for a Saturday night. All in all, it was OK.
