Our local independent businesses provide much more than just good prices:

Better Service
Local owners and employees really know their businesses and their customers — and can offer you more personalized service and relevant advice.

Superior Quality
Many locally owned independents provide higher-quality products and services to you than the average national chain business.

Unique Choices
Independent local businesses bring their own creativity to their businesses — offering selections you won’t find elsewhere.

 

 

 

Our City and County local independents are just a click away.

Our members are local independents who’ve taken a stand to help spread the word about locals, by joining the BUILD St. Louis business alliance. Please patronize their businesses – and refer friends and family to them, as well.

What you can consistently expect, however, is great service, tasty beverages, and outstanding music. We offer a full bar, including draft, bottle and can beers; wines by the glass and bottle; and classic and signature cocktails.
