The Stable, in the St. Louis neighborhood of Benton Park, has been open for about 4 months now and business seems to be good for them. They recently finished their expansion into the courtyard space to the west of the restaurant. The decorative ironwork looks really great. You can see for yourself in the photos below.

I also wanted to share a rumor I had heard about the establishment. There has been talk that a cigar lounge/bar is going to be opening up on the floor above the Stable. I don’t know if this would be part of the existing business or another venture entirely, but my source seemed pretty sure of his information. They seem to do a lot of business, so there is obviously demand. Anyone have inside info on this one?

I’ve been dropping tidbits about this project for months so I figured it was about time I produced some more details. Especially since this Benton Park West microbrewery will finally be open soon.  I managed to meet up with owner Mike Glodeck yesterday and finally got a chance to take a look inside. Read more

I’m not the right guy to review the quality of a restaurant so I figured I would point you to someone more qualified. Joe Bonwich just reviewed the Stable in the Post Dispatch and you can see it for yourself here. I was happy with my food during my one visit there for dinner, but I really entjoyed the late night atmoshpere, which I sampled twice. The outdoor seating area looks to be about done and business seams to be booming. If only they would get their in house brewing and distiling up and running.

About a month ago I posted about a couple of microbreweries coming to the Benton Park Neighborhood of St. Louis in the coming months: Mattingly Brewing Company and the Stable. Info has been scarce on the Stable until I got a email from a reader a couple weeks back. Thanks to that contact, I had the opportunity to tour the facility this morning and chat with one of the owners. I’m happy to say that the project is coming along great and that they are on track for a June opening. Read more
