Big loss for the Grove, one of my favorites.
So far in the last week or two the Hanley corridor just south of 64 has had the following places close:
- Noodles & Co.
- Penn Station
- Buffalo Wild Wings
Surprised by Noodles and Co. but the other two are garbage. Jersey Mikes ascension meant Penn Stations demise and BWW hasn’t been a real product for 5 years.
Ouch, those are all pretty close to me. That area's starting to get a little skint on the food options (as mediocre as they may be, options are options).dweebe wrote: ↑2:10 PM - Sep 09So far in the last week or two the Hanley corridor just south of 64 has had the following places close:All private equity backed chain restaurants.

The Chesterfield one closed like 2 or 3 years ago. the Hanley closure was part of another wave.GoHarvOrGoHome wrote: ↑2:03 PM - Sep 10Noodles and Co has been struggling nationally for years now

These vacancies are basically begging for a CAVA, Naf Naf, and or Bibibop
Sounds like the sale of O'Connell's has fallen through. They're planning on closing in March.
To sound like a pure hater here, I'm kinda sick of O'Connell's sob story on closing. They've been doing this sh*t for like what 3 years, basically begging for a new owner with regular 9864-word Facebook posts.framer wrote: ↑5:37 PM - Sep 16Sounds like the sale of O'Connell's has fallen through.

I absolutley do not wish it was closing but I only have so much money to spend at restaraunts.
99% of all restaurants have a shelf life. O'Connell's no longer has any comparative advantage.
I bet somebody jumps in & buys it at some point. This spot would be better as a drinking pub, but who knows if there is any money in that any longer. A buyer should convert it into a bar & use upstairs space for residential.
The owner in the Facebook post says the sale didn’t fall through but that it wouldn’t close until Q1. This just seems like a way to drum up some end of era business.
oh come on, is that true? lolChris Stritzel wrote: ↑9:58 PM - Sep 16The owner in the Facebook post says the sale didn’t fall through but that it wouldn’t close until Q1. This just seems like a way to drum up some end of era business.
the owner is very good at drumming up media coverage. this is like the 4th round of local stories on how it's closing.

i can't keep them all in business. Sad but not surprised. I haven't been in like 10 years.
hope the ownership group can at least keep Nick's Pub & The Tenderloin Room going.

Doubt it. They really messed up SOHA and Nicks. Both dropped off our rotation after too many poor visits and weird vibes at both places.soulardx wrote: ↑5:54 PM - Sep 21SOHA Bar & Grill to close Sept. 30 in Clifton Heights

FWIW - Tenderloin Room, for the $$$$$ price, has been rather mid in my last few visits. If it weren't in The Chase, not sure what comparative advantage it'd have over other steak houses.dweebe wrote: ↑6:06 PM - Sep 21Doubt it. They really messed up SOHA and Nicks.

Maize & Wheat Colombian Cafe in Brentwood is closing. Last day of service will be October 17th.
Dang, was pretty good the time that I had it. Might as well give them some final business. Anyone else know any other places in town for decent tres leches cake?

That stinks. SOHA was great when it first opened ~15 years ago. I moved away 10+ years ago and haven't been, but it was great when it first opened.StlAlex wrote: ↑7:17 PM - Sep 21Yea SOHA fell off a cliff. Not surprising at all that it's closing.

“Delmonico's in New York has been around since 1837 and considered America's first fine-dining restaurant.
Now, for the first time, it's opening a restaurant outside of New York and is coming to Clayton.
Citadel Prime, will take over the old Tony's space on Carondelet Plaza as Delmonico's Hospitality Group will run the restaurant.”

This sucks. I really liked Mission Taco—used to eat at the Loop location pretty frequently.
