It’s Soulard Oktoberfest this Friday (3:30pm-10pm) & Saturday (11am-10:30pm) at the Soulard Market Park next to Protagonist 🍺 If you love b**r, pretzels, and German music, go to Oktoberfest at Soulard Market or Soulard St. Louis for details!
We’ll be open our regular 7am to 7pm hours but parking will be more challenging. If you want to avoid us all together, we don’t blame you!! Instead, visit our sister coffeeshop antagonistcafe in South Soulard (close to us but far enough from the festivities!!)
