The decor is so fun- graffiti murals everywhere, so much color. Party lights and lasers to turn on to amp up the fun. Tons of seating, tons of sleeping areas, a projector, 2 large televisions, a full kitchen, large open space for dancing, Bluetooth speakers...I could go on and on. I have nothing to add to improve it. They have thought of everything. I love it and my daughter and friends are already requesting another event here...grad party maybe??? If you need a place to throw a fabulous event or just want to stay somewhere awesome after bar hopping through Soulard, this is your place!!!

We just recently attended an event called Cocktails & Croquet and this space was perfect. A little history, this space was formerly the Shaw Theatre, opening in 1915 which once seated about 1100 people for screenings, offering some neighborhood nostalgia. Then the theatre transitioned from a bustling movie spot to a corner store. Now, like described above, it's a beautiful event space.

There was also enough room for setting up a food station. There were also drinks available the evening I was there- local beer from a keg, specialty cocktail of the evening, or soda. The building is obviously very old, but the interior seems very well kept. Seems like it was many buildings that have been converted into one- remember to look up while inside to see the unique architecture making up the roof/ceiling! There were some local kids running around the place, eating pizza, and playing games during the networking event. They were welcomed with open arms by the folks running the event. That just shows how awesome the owners are- welcoming everyone and really becoming a part of the community.

They even have a pizza oven and s'mores bar available. There's also a separate area on site you can use for your wedding ceremony. When you book with them, you have to use St. Louis Catering, but they do a good job, so it's cool. We had about 100 people come to our reception and this venue was a perfect size. There are separate dining and bar/dancing areas, as well as a parking lot. I'd definitely recommend this to people looking for a wedding reception venue.

Unfortunately, since the new ownership took over, everything that made it special has been stripped away. What was once a cozy neighborhood bar with skilled bartenders and a genuine sense of community has been replaced by something that feels soulless and performative. The new concept seems to care more about being an "art gallery" and chasing trends than honoring what longtime patrons loved. They scrapped the menu that people came back for, pushed out the staff who gave the place its spirit, and turned a beloved bar into something completely unrecognizable. It's honestly sad to see such a great spot lose its identity. The old Trust is gone -- and no amount of "local" art or menu rebrands can replace what made it special

Our small group of five or six were literally yelling to be able to hear what another person was saying. Lots of creative Christmas themed cocktails. The food was good - just not a whole lot to choose from (two types chicken salad sandwiches on slider buns and only one hot item (potato skins). Pretty pricey too, but since entry was free I guess they had to make their money somehow. I'll be on the lookout for more events from this group!

I do wish they had more snow or something to go with the name of the pop-up, which is frozen. However, I did very much enjoy the blue lighting and the bourbon drinks. The staff was extremely friendly, and really took the time to explain the process of the smoked bourbon, which I thought was very neat.
