Just in time for cooler temperatures, Ballpark Village has brought its popular AVA Garden Bar indoors with the debut of Club AVA, a new year-round destination offering the same lush, summery atmosphere as its outdoor counterpart.
The indoor expansion comes in response to strong customer feedback following the spring launch of AVA Garden Bar, known for its greenery-filled design and laid-back vibe. The new Club AVA transforms part of the adjacent Crown Hall space into an indoor garden oasis, complete with VIP booths available by reservation, expansive lounge-style seating, and a new sound system.
“Ballpark Village is the best destination for downtown fun on gamedays and beyond, all year long, and the Club AVA transformation is a perfect example of our ongoing investments in the neighborhood to keep experiences fresh for residents and keep guests coming back,” said Mike LaMartina, president of Ballpark Village.
The grand opening celebration kicks off this weekend with the Club AVA Launch and Boos & Brew Bar Crawl on Oct. 31. Other upcoming events include a free show with DJ Brandon Sounds on Nov. 1, a Dia De Los Muertos Party featuring 2LM on Nov. 2, the Club AVA VIP Party on Nov. 7, and Beauty & The Beats on Nov. 13. Full event details and tickets are available at STLBallparkVillage.com.
Since opening in 2014, Ballpark Village has become a cornerstone of downtown St. Louis entertainment, hosting millions of visitors for sporting events, concerts, and civic celebrations. Its 2020 expansion added more than 700,000 square feet of new construction, including the Live! by Loews hotel, the PwC Pennant Building, and One Cardinal Way luxury apartments. The development also features local favorites Salt + Smoke and Katie’s Pizza & Pasta, alongside newer additions such as Auntie Anne’s, Condado Tacos, and Fielder’s Choice.
