Some St. Louis restaurateurs are telling unvaccinated customers to stay outside or stay home. Among the first was Steven Fitzpatrick Smith, owner of the Royale and co-owner of Tick Tock Tavern. As of July 24, his bars require proof of vaccination for customers seeking to dine indoors.
Others, such as Ben Poremba, are not requiring proof of vaccination just yet, but are asking about vaccination status. Poremba is the owner of Bengelina Hospitality Group, which operates Nixta and Bar Limón, Elaia, Olio, La Patisserie Chouquette, and the Benevolent King. All of the restaurants on that list are accepting indoor reservations only for individuals who profess to be vaccinated on an honor system. They are, however, making proof of vaccination a condition of employment.
