Das Bevo
The Bevo Mill
August Busch, of the Busch family and brewery, built this giant windmill as his private dining room in the early 1900s. Today it serves traditional German cuisine and amazing breakfast. Look for the giant windmill—you can't miss it if you're in South City. This restaurant closed abruptly in March 2009, reopening in early 2016 in time for Mother’s Day. Don’t miss the your chance to join the Beir-choir the First Thursday of each month.
