Peach season is right around the corner, but we couldn't wait. โœจ

The lovely Ms. Jalisa is here to introduce our official Ice Cream Martini of the Month for June: The ๐๐ž๐š๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ & ๐‚๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐ˆ๐œ๐ž ๐‚๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ข! >
This beauty is our celebration of the season, and it tastes exactly like summer in a glass. We blend two scoops of our Wisconsin vanilla ice cream with vanilla vodka, peach schnapps, and a spritz of scratchmade whipped cream. Then, it's served over a vibrant layer of fresh peach puree and topped with a dollop of whip and a sweet peach drizzle.

Itโ€™s creamy, fruity, and just the right amount of decadent. Come visit us and toast to the start of Juneโ€”this seasonal favorite is on the menu through June 30th!

At The Fountain, we believe everyone deserves a seat at the tableโ€”and a space where they feel safe, seen, and celebrated. โค๏ธ๐ŸŒŸ Tomorrow is the start of PRIDE Month, and we've got a beautiful drink to celebrate that belief.

Weโ€™re proud to introduce our new signature cocktail, the Queen of the Desert. This bright, tasty mix of Blanco tequila, fresh lemon, and simple syrup is topped with bubbly rosรฉ for a beautifully crisp finish.

With every purchase, $1 goes directly to Amplify The Arch. This local initiative by our friends at Fourth City Sisters, Abbey of the Glittering Arch, is dedicated to creating spaces of authenticity, creativity, and connection for q***r and trans youth across the Greater St. Louis area, helping ensure every young person in our community has the support they need to thrive.

Treat yourself to a spectacular cocktail and support a vital local cause all at once. See you at the bar!

Gluten-Free Friends (and our Gluteny Friends, too!) โ€” we made something special just for you this week. ๐Ÿฅฃโœจ

Now through Sunday, we are testing out our Tuscany-Inspired Polenta Bowl. Itโ€™s warm, comforting, and packed with flavor. We start with a base of rich, creamy polenta and top it with tender shredded pork, slow-simmered onions, tomatoes, carrots, and a fragrant blend of fresh rosemary and thyme.

We take immense pride in being a place where everyone can sit at the table together, regardless of dietary restrictions. We're continuously testing new creations as specials, and your feedback mattersโ€”if you love this one, it might just find a permanent home on our menu!

If these bottles of wine and sake that were just delivered could talk, I think they'd sound a lot like this guy - Darryl "Ponchosan" Vennard. He's a total legend in the wine & sake world - and we're lucky that he calls St. Louis home. For our Summer Edition of ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’…๐’…๐’†๐’”๐’”๐’†๐’” ๐’๐’‡ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’‚๐’”๐’”, Ponchosan has hand-selected five pours from independent, female-led vineyards and tojis on the theme of ๐’๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ž๐ซ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐ž. He'll be taking us behind the scenes of every bottle - sharing stories of risk, innovation and triumph. It's a night of education, intoxication, good food and community.

Don't wait. Our last event had a waitlist and this one is headed in the same direction. Link in comments - tix on our OpenTable profile under "Experiences."

The Spring event sold out in record timeโ€”donโ€™t say we didnโ€™t warn you.

Goddesses of the Glass: The Solstice Selection tickets are OFFICIALLY on sale. On June 8th, we are embarking on a 5-course sensory journey across the globeโ€”from the peaks of the Andes to the coast of Hiroshima.

This isn't a "sip and nod" tasting. Itโ€™s a celebration of the "Rebel Spirit" of female makers who are currently redefining the spirits industry. Industry legend Darryl "Poncho" Vennard is back to weave the stories behind every bottle while you enjoy 5 small plates and a decadent Fountain dessert finish.

The catch? Seating is communal and strictly limited. If you want to be in the room, you have to move fast.
