Bevo Mill

St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Das Bevo at 4749 Gravois Avenue is open 5-9 pm on Wednesdays – Fridays, 11 am – 9 pm on Saturdays, 10 am – 2 pm on Sundays.

For a work trip, I flew into St. Louis recently and had a half day to hang out with a good friend for a morning adventure. We ended up at the Bevo Mill for Sunday brunch.

There was someone setting up for live music, but we were there pretty early and enjoyed visiting in a unique environment over cocktails. I had an odd, but delicious combo of a slice of carrot cake and a potato cake appetizer. My friend had the Das Big Ass Sammie which was a large biscuit with a chicken schnitzel and a side of cheddar potatoes.

This is a historic beer garden built by August Busch Sr. in 1916. Apparently, Busch toured Holland for a year seeking authentic artifacts and studying Dutch windmills. The “mill” is named after an Anheuser-Busch non-alcoholic malt beverage produced by the brewery during Prohibition.

Then, we went across the street to Tim’s Chrome Bar!
