\u201cAfter 11 incredible years, we\u2019re announcing the closing of Small Batch. Our last day of service will be Monday, May 12,\u201d the post states. \u201cFrom the moment we opened our doors, the Midtown neighborhood and the STL community as a whole embraced us with open arms. We\u2019ve been honored to be part of the vibrant vegan and vegetarian communities, and to serve dishes that have reflected our passion for good food, conscious living, and whiskey served neat.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The post went on to thank the staff and those who had dined at the establishment, which opened in 2013, and invited the community out for another meal or drink before May 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
