Fieldhouse
Midtown’s dining scene took a hit as well. Fieldhouse, the 10-year-old bar and grill near Saint Louis University, served its last guests on Sunday. The restaurant announced the news on its Facebook page, citing the difficulties facing the industry caused by the pandemic as the reason for the decision.
“Unfortunately, the challenges we’ve faced in the post-COVID era have significantly impacted our sales, making it impossible to sustain our business,” the post reads. “Thank you all for your patronage and contributions over the years—it has truly meant the world to us.”

Have you been personally abused by Tishaura? Because in addition to personally experiencing the rage of Jeff, he has a consistent reputation in the industry for being a tremendous a**hole to pretty much all of his vendors.

Not to mention he would constantly blame Joe Biden or whatever liberal he can think of for all of his bar's problems to whoever was listening at the time. Not exactly an environment that makes you want to hang out at the bar

I know it might be on the very western edge, but I feel Fieldhouse was part of the whole stretch and they have announced they have closed.

Regardless of whether an owner sucks or not, it’s surprising to see a bar close so close to a university campus, especially when competition around the campus is thin. SLU already doesn’t have many bars surrounding it.
