Our story

the neighborhood, the bar, the fire pit

How Tamm Ave happened

Some of this story is confirmed. Some of it is waiting on the people who lived it — those parts are marked, honestly, as placeholders.

  1. The neighborhood

    Dogtown first

    Tamm Ave sits in the heart of Dogtown, St. Louis — across from Forest Park and the Zoo, in the neighborhood that throws the city's real St. Patrick's Day. This part is true and always will be.

    How it started

    The badge says it plainly: since 2013. The doors opened with a simple plan — a bar the neighborhood would actually use. [PLACEHOLDER: the owner's version of the founding story — the who and the why — goes here.]

  3. [PLACEHOLDER] The fire pit

    That's no moon

    Placeholder — owner story coming

    [PLACEHOLDER] Somewhere along the way the patio gained a fire pit shaped like the Death Star. There is definitely a story here, and the owner has it.
