Planter's House

Planters House is a cocktail bar and restaurant that celebrates Saint Louiss grand history of hospitality and cocktails. We offer hand crafted cocktails and delicious food inspired by historic recipes. The name Planters House pays homage to the landmark Planters House Hotel, which stood as a Saint Louis icon from 1817 – 1922. It was well renowned as one of the finest hotels in the nation, and its name was synonymous with hospitality. It was located in downtown Saint Louis, occupying the block north of the old courthouse, on 4th Street between Chestnut and Pine. At one point during its history, the Planters Hotel employed the famous Professor Jerry Thomas as its head bartender, who was the highly respected bartender who wrote the first ever cocktail book in 1862. Perhaps some of Jerry Thomass famous recipes were developed during his time in Saint Louis at the Planters Hotel. The Planters Hotel closed its doors in 1922, and the grand building was torn down in 1976. At Planters House, we strive to carry on its history of hospitality, deliciously prepared cocktails and food, and its place as an iconic Saint Louis meeting place.
