Urban Chestnut – Midtown

Take Me Here Using Metro Transit

Urban Chestnut is a model of sustainability in the brewing and restaurant business. Composting, recycling, and responsible sourcing are part of their business model – and that’s only the beginning.

They enjoy energy savings onsite with mostly phased in Energy Star electronics, solar power, which provides about 10% of their energy,  a white reflective roof, and LED lights.

During the growing season, Urban Chestnut in Midtown sources some of their produce from What Chef’s Want. Soda comes from Excel, a local company, and their bread comes from Companion. Red meat comes from Kern Meat Co.

Urban Chestnut 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.

Next time you’re going to the Fox Theater or Powell Hall, stop in for a pre-show beer! And be sure to pay a visit to the beer garden when the weather is nice out or during the fall when they show Nosferatu with a live orchestra and the looming vampire himself!
