Efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19 are taking a toll on businesses around the world, including those right here in Benton Park. Throughout the neighborhood, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops are limiting service to carryout and delivery or closing their doors temporarily. In an effort to support our beloved local establishments in this difficult time, we’ve compiled a list of Benton Park businesses and how you can help.
This list is a work in progress. For additions or edits, email marketing@bentonpark.org. Updated Friday, March 20 at 4pm.
In addition to what’s listed below, you can find your favorite bar and restaurant staff on STL Virtual Tip Jar, “an opportunity for social-distancing St. Louis residents to keep supporting the staff at our local restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and other establishments who are out of work at this time.”
