Coming Soon to City Foundry STL

Butler’s Pantry, St. Louis’ premier caterer for more than 50 years, is excited to unveil renderings for 18Rails | The Venue @ CityFoundrySTL—its brand new event space set to open in 2021.

18Rails | The Venue @ CityFoundrySTL will explore event experiences like never before with unrivaled innovation—transforming the former factory into a chic-industrial space. Ideal for any size gathering, guests will enjoy the multi-functional space directly off of the highly-anticipated Food Hall with five-star innovative menus from Chef Vince Bommarito, Jr., Chief Executive Officer at Butler’s Pantry. A James Beard Award finalist, Chef Vince will combine his experience, expertise and love for creating the impossible into the culinary offerings at 18Rails with never before seen stations and a la carte offerings.

18Rails | The Venue @ CityFoundrySTL, conveniently located in the heart of the City Foundry development in Midtown, will offer ample, free parking, state-of-the-art technology and many modern conveniences. Its origin was once the center of industrial activity, sitting near a hub where 18 rail lines connected St. Louis to the rest of the country.

Opening in 2020, City Foundry STL is the adaptive reuse of the 15-acre former Federal-Mogul Midtown St. Louis foundry site into a 21st century mixed use development that celebrates creative concepts in food, commerce and entrepreneurship.
