STL Barkeep

Yoohoo, St. Louis. 👋 Your Friday plans are over here. Sunset Sips, 4pm–sunset in Tower Grove Park.

Some Angie appreciation for your feed. 🫶

Angie has been part of the STL Barkeep family for years. Calling her the Lead Event Lead only tells a small part of the story.

When we roll up to anything big (Festival of Nations, Frosted, St. Pat’s, you name it) she’s there helping turn a pile of equipment, booze and good intentions into a functioning bar. And then, somehow, helping us pack it all back up again.

She’s reliable, hardworking, wildly capable and genuinely a blast to be around. She also happens to know her way around a kitchen. Catch her leading the charge at and , too.

Off the clock, her heart belongs to her pups, Kendrick Lamar, Brooklyn, and Coco Chanel.

Basically: Angie does a lot. And she does it damn well.

We’re lucky to have her on the team.

We are proud market people.

As longtime sponsors of Tower Grove Farmers' Market, we’ve spent more Saturdays than we can count slinging drinks in Tower Grove Park—and we still really like our job.

A few favorites from Harvest Festival before we do it all over again this Saturday.

9/19 • 8am–12:30pm
See you at the market, STL.

Alexa, play something that makes it feel like the weekend. (STL Barkeep bevies). 😎🤙

A quick scheduling note from the Department of Things We'd Hate For You To Miss:

We are officially in the final countdown of Sauce Magazine’s 2026 Food Truck Friday season. Tomorrow night is the SECOND TO LAST one. 😭

That means just two more chances this year to touch grass with a few thousand of your closest friends, choose dinner from 20+ food trucks, and grab a cute lil bevy from us.

🍹 Tomorrow, September 11
🍹 October 2

We’ll still be hanging around Tower Grove Park plenty, don’t worry. But THIS particular flavor of Friday night only has two rounds left.

See you tomorrow, friends.

A little something we do when we’re not driving a bar around town:

Our brick-and-mortar bar, The Vandy, is rolling into the first weekend of “X Marks the Spot,” our annual tropical takeover in The Grove. 🌴🍹

And since there’s no Sunset Sips tonight thanks to this ridiculous heat, consider this your invitation to come find us somewhere with sweet, sweet AC instead.

For the month, we ditch the usual cocktail menu, turn the island dial way up and hand the bar over to an entirely new roster of tropical creations.

Rum? Obviously. Tiny umbrellas? Perhaps. Restraint? Not really the point.

“X Marks the Spot” is here through September 26.

Bad news: it is simply too dang hot for Sunset Sips this Friday. 🥵

Good news: You can still catch us Saturday at Tower Grove Farmers' Market’s 2nd annual Harvest Festival. This year’s theme is “For the Love of Garlic.”

🧄 Saturday, September 5
🌳 Tower Grove Park
⏰ 8am–3pm

Come find us, grab something cold, eat something garlicky, and celebrate the harvest with us.

Stay cool out there, STL.

📸: a few scenes from last year’s fest.

The world came to St. Louis this weekend, and we brought the cocktails. 🥂

Big thanks to every guest who stopped by our bar and to the International Institute for throwing a celebration that proves inclusion tastes better than any single recipe.
