The story
Blood & Sand describes itself as a place to rejuvenate the soul, offering exceptional cuisine and hand-crafted cocktails in a refined and inviting atmosphere. Located in downtown St. Louis, this restaurant and bar is open to the public and has earned national recognition for its food and drink program. The Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence highlights the depth and quality of its wine list, which spans everything from classic regions to less conventional bottles.
The menu reflects a celebration of global cuisine, with influences from around the world. Guests can choose from a five-course or ten-course tasting menu, an a la carte dinner menu, or a bar menu for lighter fare. For a more personalized experience, the Tailored Chef’s Tasting offers a seven-course off-menu meal created by the culinary team. This experience is available Monday through Friday and requires advance notice, ensuring the kitchen can accommodate dietary preferences.
Blood & Sand is equally known for its beverage program. The bar menu features curated cocktails, a deep whiskey selection, and a thoughtfully organized wine list by the bottle. The restaurant hosts monthly wine dinners and spirits dinners, often featuring rare and highly rated pours paired with multi-course meals. These events, such as the Kosta Browne Dining Experience or the Sparkling Wine Dinner, sell out quickly and reflect the team’s commitment to bringing the best of the world to St. Louis.
In addition to public dining, Blood & Sand offers membership options for those who want to deepen their connection. Full monthly and annual memberships, as well as small business and corporate plans, provide added benefits. The space also accommodates private dining and large parties, making it suitable for celebrations or corporate gatherings. Catering, culinary classes, and chef’s table experiences are available as well.
Whether you come for a glass of wine, a hand-crafted cocktail, or a multi-course tasting, Blood & Sand aims to provide unparalleled service. The team’s focus on meaningful relationships with guests is evident in every detail. It’s a place where the day gets better with good food and great company.
