The Pat Connolly Tavern

Take Me Here With Metro Transit

THE PAT CONNOLLY TAVERN is the most sustainably focused Irish pub in St. Louis. They have set ambitious goals to minimize their environmental footprint, contribute to their community, and treat their employees well.

The tavern offers a full, diverse menu, including brunch on the weekends. Enjoy it with a cup of direct trade coffee from Park Ave Coffee. Although they are known for their fried chicken, their menu includes something for everyone, including vegetarians and vegans!

Pat Connolly Tavern cleverly reuses trimmings from chicken thighs in their chicken sausage on the brunch menu. They also keep a food waste log to monitor their portion sizes and make sure they are serving size-appropriate servings, keeping food waste out of the landfill!

The Pat Connolly Tavern works hard to reduce their carbon footprint. They have a white roof, most of their lights are LEDs, the old Budweiser neon sign is on a timer, and there are new, efficient windows in their upstairs bar. They have always kept the light fixtures off when the daylight is bright, illuminating the gorgeous, dark, 70+ year old wood furniture with natural light. They try to reduce water waste with an air-cooled ice machine and water-efficient toilets. There are bike racks out front for your cycling pleasure – ride around the park then stop for a locally brewed beer!

Pat Connolly Tavern is a participant in GiftAMeal, a program that markets restaurants while feeding the hungry in St. Louis. On the GiftAMeal app, each time someone takes a photo at a partner restaurant, a meal is provided to someone in need through Operation Food Search.

Be sure to check out their tree shaded patio, live music on Friday nights, weekend brunches, and consider renting out their lovely upstairs event space that overlooks Turtle Park! Open Wednesday-Monday.
