The restaurant is located in a very nice neighborhood, surrounded by other businesses. Jack was our waiter and he was very personable and knowledgeable about any dish we enquired about. The food was seasoned well and prepared to our request. We had the brunch but on our next return, we’ll be having dinner. The grits were awesome but a little too peppery 😊

About the restaurant

"Patio seating is first come, first served. You can make a request for the patio in your reservation, and while we can't guarantee patio seating we do try to honor your request*

Located in historic Lafayette Square just south of downtown St. Louis, Square One Brewery & Distillery began operations as a Brewery & Restaurant in February of 2006. We strive to produce the highest quality and unique flavors that are not likely to be found in the large volume production of most beer and spirits today. By combining the expertise of the distiller, master brewer, and chef, we are committed to creating an amazing array of flavors and tastes for our customers.

About the restaurant

Looking for a unique place to dine! Come enjoy the haunted historic Lemp Mansion. We offer a variety of dishes, from Beef Wellington to Eggplant Parmesan. Make sure to save room for a delicious Bananas Foster or Cherries Jubilee, our flaming desserts prepared table-side. On Sundays, we serve Family-Style Chicken Dinner, all you care to eat!
After lunch or dinner take a wander around the main floor. There are many beautiful aspects to see, from the hand painted ceiling in the Parlor to the original vault doors leading into our museum & gift shop. The Lemp mansion was originally the home of the biggest beer barons of their time.
The Lemp Mansion Restaurant has been open for 41 years! Come see why we are "famous from ghost to ghost!"
