St. Louis restaurant openings, closings, and coming soons: November 2018

The "ins, outs, and almosts" in metro St. Louis for November 2018

by

The following list is accurate as of an early December press date. A condensed version will be published in SLM's January 2019 issue.

Editor's Note: In October, there were several notable closings; in November, there was one. But the closings are already lining up for December (with more to follow), which is to be expected in the final month of the year. The good news is that a pair of so-good-you'll-send-your-family-and-friends restaurants opened in November: The Chocolate Pig and Grand Tavern by celeb chef David Burke (pictured at right). The long-awaited and eye catching Rockwell Beer Co. opened late month as well. Inside is BrassWELL, Gerard Craft's Brasserie by niche riff that features burgers, brats, and beignets to pair with Rockwell’s soon-to-be-released beers.

Changes and additions are in boldface.
