Dinner: Morgan Street Brewery.
Nestled
on cobblestone streets polished by more than 200 years of commerce along the
Mississippi River, Morgan Street Brewery radiates the charm that only history
can impart. Morgan Street Brewery’s rich
architecture and warm interiors are highlighted by burnished wood and exposed
brick and feature cozy nooks and corners.
The main brewery building and adjacent Lodge, both more than 130 years
old, are separated by a brick patio that is as perfect for café style dining as
the popular outdoor dining patio along second street. Morgan Street Brewery,
founded in 1995, is one of the oldest buildings in historic Laclede’s
Landing. It’s where St. Louis- and
thousands of visitors from other cities- go for great times, great food and
fabulous beers made right on the premises in Morgan Street’s micro brewery.
