Rockwell Beer Garden at 5300 Donovan Ave. in Francis Park is reopening for the 2025 season today, Friday, March 7, bringing back fan-favorite events and introducing new offerings for the community.
A brand-new menu is set to debut next weekend, with an emphasis on quicker, concession-style foods to help ease wait times. “We are pivoting toward some quicker, more concession-style foods to ease the line, for example nachos and hot dogs,” said Director of Events and Marketing Lauren Martin. “We have added everyone’s favorite special barbecue chicken pizza to the menu. We have also reformatted our garlic bread and improved our dough, sauce and toppings for a more elevated experience.” While pizza will still be available this weekend, a full new menu launches next weekend.
Rockwell Beer Garden has teamed up with acclaimed chef Andrew Cisneros, of Brasas and Jalea, to curate and refine the new offerings. “We are so lucky that chef Andrew Cisneros has been curating and consulting this menu,” Martin added. “We will be offering his rotisserie chickens as specials throughout the season, as well as a pizza of the moment and pizza collaborations with local farmers during our farmers market season May through October, which is every Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. We will also be offering a local favorite, Sugarwitch ice cream sandwiches, this season.”
Alongside the new menu, Rockwell Beer Garden’s popular weekly programming returns, including Tuesday Trivia on April 15 and Thursday farmers markets with Tower Grove Farmers’ Market starting May 1. In May, Rockwell will also welcome back Barre STL, Wednesday yoga sessions and children’s programming with Laren Loveless Music. Additionally, music lovers can look forward to monthly live performances and vinyl nights hosted in collaboration with Record Exchange St. Louis.
To ensure a welcoming environment for all, Rockwell Beer Garden reminds guests to keep dogs off tables, refrain from bringing outside food and drinks, and bring reusable cups for water as part of a sustainability effort.
