Est. 1875 · Carondelet, Missouri
Parlor &
The Table
A seasonal supper and cocktail society — gathered by candlelight, in service of the neighborhood that keeps it standing.
The Boarding House
Old bones, a full table.
Built in 1875 on what was then the corner of 3rd and Nebraska, in the newly annexed city of Carondelet, the house is one of a row of Italianate flats raised along Minnesota Avenue — the best-preserved of them still, its corbels intact beneath a bracketed cornice. In a hundred and fifty years it has passed through the hands of a steam fitter, a grocer's widow, a railroad clerk, a real estate man, and a family who raised children under its roof for sixty of those years. Every one of them left something behind in these walls. Parlor & The Table is only its latest chapter — the doors still doing what they were built for: letting neighbors in.
A few times each year, to usher a new season in or out, we open the parlor for an evening of craft cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and a story worth hearing — never more than a handful of guests, always by candlelight. Every ticket carries a charitable arm, rotating gathering to gathering to meet whatever the neighborhood needs most as the season turns.
Seasonal
Three to five evenings a year
Each gathering is tied to its season — the menu, the drink, and the story all change with it.
Small
Ten to fifteen seats
Kept intimate on purpose. Conversation over spectacle, and room enough for everyone to be heard.
In Service
A rotating charitable arm
Every gathering benefits a different local cause, chosen each season to meet whatever the neighborhood needs most as the year turns.
This Season's Gathering
Cocktails & Dark History
An autumn evening of drinks, small bites, and a story from the shadier corners of St. Louis.
The Details
An Autumn Evening at the Parlor
Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, followed by an interactive presentation from Rachel of STL Dark History — documented crimes, scandals, and mysteries from Carondelet's past and beyond, told the way they deserve: over a good drink, with the audience part of the telling.
This season, we're partnering with STL Dark History for a hands-on evening of storytelling — not a lecture, but a room full of participants uncovering the story together.
