Pro Tips
- 4 Hands City Wide is a St. Louis craft pale ale brewed in the Soulard neighborhood. It is a smooth, easy-drinking local favorite.
- St. Louis-style pizza bites use the trademark thin, cracker-like crust. They are a regional food you will not find at other Admirals Clubs.
- This club rarely fills since American reduced operations at STL. You can often find quiet seating even during moderate peaks.
