<\/p>

Perfectly situated in the vibrant and walkable downtown Clayton area, High Bar Clayton brings industrial-chic vibes and a fresh take on rooftop dining to the city. \n <\/p>

Located on the 11th floor above the AC Hotel by Marriott St. Louis Clayton at 227 S. Central Ave., this elevated spot offers sweeping views of downtown Clayton and a dynamic blend of innovative cuisine, craft cocktails and an ambiance perfect for both casual gatherings and special moments.\n <\/p>

The menu at High Bar is a modern twist on American-style tapas with plenty of shareable plates. Highlights include the hangar steak with fries and house steak sauce, pesto rigatoni, and the baked ricotta paired with honey, fig and pistachio. Signature items like truffle fries, seared tuna stacks, and flatbreads ensure there\u2019s something for every palate. The drink menu is a balanced mix of robust cocktails, wine and beer to complement the cuisine. It\u2019s described as \u201ceverything you need and nothing you don\u2019t,\u201d by Food & Beverage Operations Manager Chelsey Golbert. \n <\/p>

The space itself exudes a polished yet welcoming charm. With seating for up to 120 guests, including 34 bar seats and an enclosed patio, the design fuses dark metals, reclaimed barn wood, warm brick and cognac leather for a sophisticated but approachable feel. The centerpiece is the indoor\/outdoor bar, featuring open shelving that provides clear views of the skyline. Guests can relax in soft club chairs or gather at low bar tables lining the balcony for a picturesque view of the cityscape.\n <\/p>

High Bar Clayton pays homage to the high standards of Clayton\u2019s business professionals, drawing inspiration from the legal profession\u2019s dedication and achievement. It stands as a symbol of excellence, reflected in every detail, from the design to the service.\n <\/p>

Special events like Wine Down Wednesdays invite guests to indulge in half-priced bottles and glasses of wine, offering a midweek escape with elegance. While there\u2019s no live entertainment yet, the venue\u2019s playlist leans into \u201990s rhythm and blues and top hits, creating a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere.\n <\/p>

Open seven nights a week, High Bar Clayton operates from 4 to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and extends to midnight on Friday and Saturday. \n <\/p>

Whether for happy hour, client meetings or an intimate evening with friends, High Bar Clayton raises the standard for rooftop dining, delivering meaningful connections and unforgettable moments.\n <\/p> <\/p>
