Schlafly Stout & Oyster Festival

For the last 25 years, beer, bands, shuckers, and over 50,000 oysters have converged on St. Louis for the Schlafly Stout & Oyster festival. There is no handy metaphor for the atmosphere created by 20 professional shuckers with live music as their backdrop and a selection of stouts on tap.

It is the largest festival of its kind in the Midwest (and the 2nd largest in the country after Boston), and we are proud to bring it to Bottleworks in Maplewood.

Since Stout & Oyster takes place on our parking lot, there is not much immediate parking available. There is parking on the west side of our lot and on the school lot - but they will fill quickly. There are several public lots nearby, as well as street parking. Please be respectful of our neighbors. We encourage public transportation, cabs, Uber, and biking.

We recommend staying at The Cheshire Hotel or one of the many Drury Hotels in the St. Louis area.

We have large tents on the lot and the inside is open, so you don't have to be concerned about weather.
