Last week, Sauce Magazine held St. Louis Cocktail Week - with more than 50 restaurants participating. The Fountain took #3 in the City for best cocktails among the 50 participants.

While weโ€™re beyond honored, we canโ€™t say weโ€™re entirely surprised... Ryanโ€™s drink creations are truly something special. From creative twists on time-honored classics to house-made syrups and beautiful garnishes, every glass served at our bar is a masterpiece. His goal is to serve drinks as pleasing to the eye and the palate as the art on our walls.

The weather finally got the memo, which means our absolute best-seller is back for October only.

โ€‹The Caramel Apple Ice Cream Martini is officially in rotation. We blend sour apple pucker with our rich Wisconsin vanilla ice cream and line the glass with house-made caramel sauce, finished with a cinnamon dusting and a crisp apple slice.

โ€‹It is sweet, tart, ridiculously creamy, and tastes like fall in a glass.

โ€‹Get it before October ends!

We couldnโ€™t be more proud to share our new culinary partnership with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra for their upcoming season โœจ

โ€‹To make your symphony evenings truly seamless and memorable, The Fountain on Locust is providing curated pre-show dinners for Friday and Saturday performances. Attendees can now enjoy scratch-made favorites before heading into the hall for an evening of world-class music.

โ€‹Our rotating performance menu features thoughtfully crafted dishes like chilled poached salmon and tender sliced beef tenderloin served atop our iconic Birdseed Salad, alongside an array of seasonal entrees and signature desserts.

โ€‹Guests holding tickets for Friday and Saturday shows will receive a pre-order email link directly from SLSO prior to their performance date. You can reserve your pre-show meal online, arrive at your leisure, and let us take care of the rest so you never have to rush to your seat.

โ€‹We are honored to pair our historic Midtown hospitality with the incredible artistry of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra โœจ

We are thrilled to officially announce Conefection by The Fountain, joining the upcoming Wash Ave Food Hall at 1122 Washington Ave as a founding vendor!

โ€‹As HuSTL Hospitality continues to pivot into projects that support our community-oriented vision, we couldn't be more excited about this investment in the heart of Downtown St. Louis. Located just blocks from the Convention Center, Conefectionโ€”along with our other concept, Steve's Smash - Burgers & Fries โ€”will often serve as a visitorโ€™s very first taste of St. Louis hospitality!

โ€‹Conefection takes the heart of what we do at The Fountain and translates it into a colorful, fast-casual, quicker service experience:

โœจ The same rich, premium dairy brought in weekly from Wisconsin
โœจ Our iconic scratch-made hot fudge, warm caramel, and real whipped cream
โœจ A super fun focus on over-the-top scoops, flavor-infused cones, candied garnishes, and real edible gold dust!

โ€‹From our Main Squeeze (Orange Dreamsicle cone + candied orange peel) to Zanzibar in the Dark (Dark Chocolate ice cream + hot fudge + edible gold syrup), weโ€™re bringing pure joy and serious indulgence to Washington Avenue.

โ€‹๐ŸŽ‰ Opening Fall 2026 in partnership with WASH AVE Food Hall, , and Oliver Properties.
