The Lodge at Winterfest

Experience a winter retreat right in the heart of Downtown St. Louis!

The Lodge at Winterfest, located across from Kiener Plaza, is a charming pop-up holiday bar situated with a perfect view of Winterfest and the Gateway Arch.

With warm wooden decor, twinkling string lights, and festive holiday decorations like wreaths, garlands, and faux snow, the bar exudes an upscale cozy winter cabin ambiance. The bar's centerpiece is a large, inviting fireplace where guests can enjoy the warmth on plush chairs and benches draped in soft blankets.

Large windows allow patrons to enjoy views of the beautifully lit Kiener Plaza, which transforms into a winter wonderland during the holiday season with its holiday lights, ice skating rink, and the stunning Gateway Arch in the background.

Our specially curated menu offers seasonal cocktails and warm drinks, such as spiced cider, mulled wine, and hot cocoa. Guests can also look forward to soft holiday music, games, portrait opportunities, and winter-themed small bites provided by UKRAFT Brunch Café.

The Lodge at Winterfest is open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from Nov. 23 - Dec. 29, with Nice Hours from noon to 3:30 pm and Naughty Hours from 4-8 pm. Nice Hours include a family-friendly atmosphere, with hot cocoa and mocktails. Guests 21 and older can enjoy our Naughty Hours, which feature all Nice Hours amenities plus a full bar.

Entrance to the Lodge at Winterfest is $25, which includes one free drink! Proceeds support the mission of Gateway Arch Park Foundation, including free community events like Winterfest.
