Unfortunately, the wave of closures in St. Louis just keeps coming. Schlafly Beer announced today, Monday, Jan. 27, that its lease has ended and it has closed Schlafly Bankside at 920 S. Main Street in historic St. Charles.
For more than 25 years, Trailhead Brewing Co. operated in the space, and Schlafly purchased it in 2020 and opened Schlafly Bankside in May that year.
“Our commitment to any location is to create a welcoming space for the communities that we serve. We feel that we’ve accomplished this at Schlafly Bankside. It has been a privilege to have a brewpub on historic Main Street, and we thank the St. Charles community for embracing us with open arms, especially during a very hard time for the hospitality industry,” co-owners Tom and David Schlafly said in a statement. “We love the St. Charles community and are truly grateful to our loyal customers and staff who have supported us over the years. We look forward to exploring opportunities to serve the St. Charles community in the future. In the interim, please join us at one of our other St. Louis locations for all the great food, beer, and entertainment that you have come to expect from us at Schlafly Beer.”
Schlafly’s other locations remain open: Bottleworks in Maplewood, the Tap Room in Downtown West and Highland Square, as well as its outpost at the Lambert International Airport.
