We’re honored to share that Polite Society has been selected as the 2026 Good Neighbor Award recipient for Ward 8 at the City of St. Louis Mayor’s Celebration of Businesses!

Each year, this award recognizes one business from each of the city’s 14 wards for its positive contributions to the community.

Lafayette Square has been our home since we opened our doors, and being recognized for our role in this neighborhood means a great deal to us.

Now, in a somewhat amusing twist, the awards luncheon was held on October 1st, and we learned we'd won when a congratulatory letter dated October 9th arrived in the mail.

We can only assume that while the city considers us good neighbors, they may have some reservations about our behavior at formal luncheons.

In any case, we're genuinely grateful for the recognition and especially thankful to our incredible staff, our loyal guests, and the Lafayette Square community for making Polite Society what it is today.

We promise to be on our best behavior if we're ever invited to lunch. 🥂

What a great night at Lafayette Square’s Cocktails in the Plaza! We were excited to be part of such a fun community event and help raise money for the Neighborhood Association.

A huge thank you to Greg, Carly, and everyone who helped make our cocktail service such a success. And thank you to everyone who came out, grabbed a drink, and supported the neighborhood. We love being part of this community. 🍸
