PLEASE BE ADVISED- WE WILL BE OPERATING WITH LIMITED OCCUPANCY, HOURS, and MENUS.
While we are looking forward to seeing our patrons return, we want to assure everyone, that when you visit UCBC, you will be in a safe and welcoming environment. We will be following the Restaurant Operating Protocols outlined by STL Regional Business Recovery Initiative, and we will be operating with limited capacity, hours, and menu offerings as we gradually reopen. We also understand and respect that not everyone will be ready to visit us. As such, our beer & Take 'n Bake pizza carryout services will remain operational.

‍
Outlined below are our new operating guidelines for the Bierhall and Biergarten. These guidelines are subject to change at any time, so please ensure you review them prior to making a visit to Urban Chestnut.

• Our staff’s health and safety and our patron’s safety is extremely important. Our staff’s temperatures will be checked before each shift and each individual staff member will be required to declare that he/she is asymptomatic as pertains to COVID-19, prior to working each shift. Throughout each shift, our staff will be wearing masks, and they will be frequently washing their hands and sanitizing between each table visit.

• We ask all of our patrons to self-monitor and not visit our establishment if they are exhibiting any of the symptoms of COVID-19. Additionally, we require all patrons to wear masks during their visit to our establishment. We understand this is not possible when you are actively eating or drinking, but please do so at other times.

• Our carryout operations will remain located at the Bierhall entrance, which will also be the entrance for our dine-in customers.

• For the protection of our staff & guests, we are limiting total capacity to 70 guests at a time. The Bierhall fire code allows for 432 people. Thus, we will be operating the Bierhall at approx. 16% of it’s usual capacity.

• We are not accepting reservations. If you approach the Bierhall entrance and are not immediately invited in, please utilize the Waitlist.Me site on your smart device and you will be seated in order of “Listing”. You can add yourself directly to the list by clicking here.

• When there is a wait for seating we ask you to please wait away from the entrance or in your car. You will be notified by Waitlist.Me when your table is ready.

• Traditionally the Bierhall has been a place for our community to gather, and we hope to work toward that again, but now is not that time. Seating is limited to 10 people or fewer per table and bar seating will NOT be available.

• To encourage social distancing while in the Bierhall, we will be offering table service. One of our staff will direct you to your table. Please help us keep everyone safe by staying at your table, as much as possible, during your visit. Our staff will bring your drinks and food to your table.

• Our food offerings include burgers, pretzels, our U.R.B. 14-inch pizzas, and more. You will have a dedicated server assigned to your table who will take your beer and food order. All orders will be delivered to a designated area on each table. When you are finished, please place all empty glassware and dishes in this area, and our staff will pick them up.

• We are not accepting cash at this time.

• To ensure safe-distancing during restroom usage, we will be operating two, single person, bathrooms. These bathrooms will be regularly cleaned and sanitized during hours of operation.

• We ARE offering growler refills. Bring in your UCBC (or outside brewery) growler and fill it with your favorite UCBC bier on tap.

Thank you for continued support and patience as we navigate our operations through this time of uncertainty.

PROST!
