Inspired by bold designs of the Roarin 20’s and Art Deco 30’s, Chase Club at the historic Chase Park Plaza Hotel invokes the original spirit of times past. As Prohibition ended, the pendulum swung back to indulging & entertainment (Live Music, Great Food and Free Flowing Alcohol). Influenced by the Speakeasys and extravagant style of a bygone era, the concept for Chase Club was born. Chase Club features a well crafted gastro-pub menu, a huge bar, a dining area with large adjoining patio overlooking the Chase Park Plaza pool, and even a outdoor fireplace with seating area to keep you toasty on chilly nights. Big screen TVs and plush seating provide the perfect lounging atmosphere for an afternoon or evening of sports. Chase Club evokes an easier time with big style design, quality food and drink, and lively bands every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. Enjoy brunch favorites every Saturday and Sunday!

    It was good. The service was friendly and prompt but the food… it was good but not great. I’m looking for that second mouthful and I didn’t get that here.

    First time to The Tenderloin Room and it did not disappoint. With walking into the nostalgic past of Saint Louis, we were greeted with smiles and seated quickly, and as requested in a quiet corner, soon the request Prosecco was on the table to start our celebration! Our server was nothing short of fantastic, energetic, and simply amazing. Drinks throughout the evening were spectacular, the food itself, was out of this world delicious and classic. We were gifted a dessert to take home to close out our anniversary meal and look forward to another fabulous evening at The Tenderloin Room.

    I was surprised by how beautifully the Chase was decorated for the holidays. Absoulutely amazing! It made our (me and hubby) traditional Christmas midday meal extra special. The food was pricey but good. We will return.
