The Little Dipper, which closed in August, has found a new home inside The Fortune Teller Bar on Cherokee Street. As reported by St. Louis Magazine, Fortune Teller’s kitchen is closed and will reopen as The Little Dipper under chef-owner Tanya Brown on Nov. 5.
“Tanya became a friend of ours as mutual customers – her shop was just a block away from ours,” said Fortune Teller co-owner Matt Thenhaus. “It just seemed like everything we needed, the other business could provide.”
Little Dipper will have a counter inside the bar with separate food and drink tabs. Thenhaus said they were inspired by The Fifth Wheel setup inside 4 Hands Brewing‘s tasting room.
A handful of items from Fortune Teller’s old food menu – like pickled eggs, soft pretzels and occasional barbecue specials – will be available from the new counter, but the menu will primarily be The Little Dipper’s dominated by sandwiches, like its Italian beef namesake.
The Fortune Teller will maintain regular evening hours until The Little Dipper opens, and Thenhaus said they should have snacks and some simple daily specials until then. Brown did not return request for comment.
