ST. LOUIS — Gerard Craft’s Niche Food Group plans to open a speakeasy-style upscale cocktail concept within the underground tunnels of City Foundry STL in Midtown late this year.
Guests will enter the bar, to be called None of the Above, through a secret entrance leading to an underground walkway, officials said in a release.
The Foundry’s underground tunnels, which were constructed to serve as passageways for the foundry workers above, were discovered six years ago, Will Smith, president of New + Found, the real estate and development company behind City Foundry STL, said in a release. The tunnels were flooded when they were uncovered but have since undergone restoration.
“We sought to create a place that can provide an indulgent escape and offer an experience capable of quieting the typical day-to-day distractions and noise," Craft, Niche Food Group's owner and executive chef, said in a release.
