This rustic restaurant opened its doors in 2011, but the history of the building goes back much further.
Named after the building’s original owner, Pierre Soulé, this historic mansion has worn many hats since it was built in 1832.

The building has served as Mr. Soulé’s home, an orphanage, a Sinatra-centric bar in the 60s, and a home to countless notable figures.
Over the buildings nearly 200 years, numerous individuals have passed away in the mansion, and many believe the iconic St. Louis building may be haunted by spirits from the past.

Both the second and third floors seem to have the most activity, with the third floor being a bit of a paranormal hotspot. Staff have reported hearing children giggling when no one is around, the feeling of being touched, and glassware flying across the bar when there aren’t any reasonable explanations.
