Tony’s has loosened its dress policy. Beginning this weekend, male guests only have to don a jacket and tie on Saturdays; business casual dress will get guys through the door on weekdays.
Changes to the Tony’s dress code were made to keep up with the changing times. “As a culture, Americans have gotten more casual (and comfortable), both in the workplace and when going out on the town,” said a spokesperson for the venerable downtown restaurant. “Of course, Tony’s will always maintain their uncompromising standard of quality and service. Guests will still enjoy the same ‘Tony’s experience.’ They are simply enabling their guests to enjoy the evening in more casual attire.”
In addition, if the St. Louis Cardinals win the National League Championship Series, Tony’s and Anthony’s Bar will both be open Sunday, Oct. 27 and Monday, Oct. 28. Guests wearing Cardinals gear will be welcome at either restaurant.
