More about the Venue: Little Bevo: Originally Built in 1924 by famous beer barons as a private speak easy, this building long sat vacant before being completely remodeled and opened as an event space. Closed in the late 1980's the building deteriorated until purchased in 2021 and brought back to life! Come celebrate in a little slice of STL history!
