Originally the hospitality room for the Otto F. Stifel Union Brewery, which closed in 1919 just before the onset of Prohibition, this 100-year-old brick building in Midtown St. Louis later housed a tavern and restaurant. The building is now used exclusively as City Cottage, a French countryside-inspired event space. This venue’s hardwood floors, exposed wooden trusses, brick walls and fireplace create a warm and inviting space for your celebration. The elegant 30-foot rare tiger’s-eye-oak bar is a memorable backdrop and five sets of tall French doors overlook the beautiful back terrace, with landscaped gardens, a fountain, a wood-burning pizza oven, overhead string lights and a “secret garden.” The terrace sits high on a hill facing the western sky and is one of best places in St. Louis to enjoy the sunset. This place is truly a cozy country cottage in an urban environment. Ready to get started? Contact us today to plan your dream corporate event at City Cottage on Chouteau.
