Frequently Asked Questions

What is Boom N’ Brew?
Boom N’ Brew is a neighborhood café and espresso bar serving handcrafted coffee drinks, teas, refreshers, and a full breakfast and lunch menu. We’re a relaxed, welcoming spot for morning coffee, casual meals, working, meeting friends, or just taking a break downtown.

Is it safe to park and visit the area?
Yes. We’ve been operating in this neighborhood for over 20 years and feel confident welcoming guests here. Like any downtown area, we recommend basic city awareness, but this is a well-traveled, established part of St. Louis.

Can I host an event or rent the space?
Yes. We offer private rentals during off-hours, and we also have a large event space next door at The Boom Boom Room. Many groups use Boom N’ Brew as a welcome lounge, coffee bar, or gathering space before larger events.

Reach out to us and let’s talk through your idea — we’re happy to explore options.

Can I bring my own event or entertainment?
We’re open to outside promoters, artists, and creative ideas. While we don’t offer pay guarantees, we’re happy to discuss door splits and promotional partnerships. If you’ve got something interesting in mind, let’s start a conversation.

Do you cater?
Yes. We can provide coffee service and food catering depending on your needs and the event. Contact us to discuss menus, timing, and logistics.

Are kids allowed?
Yes. During Boom N’ Brew café hours, families and kids are welcome, just like any neighborhood café.

Evening events and nightlife programming next door at The Boom Boom Room are 21+ only.

Can I bring my dog?
Dogs are welcome in our outdoor seating area. Please keep them leashed and well-behaved so everyone can enjoy the space.

Do you deliver?
Delivery options may be available depending on platform availability. Check our online ordering page or social channels for current delivery info.

Is there a dress code?
Nothing fancy — just shoes and shirts required. We ask guests to be clean, respectful, and considerate of others so the space stays comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.

What if I don’t see my question answered here?
Feel free to email us, stop by, or ask in person. We’re always happy to help and love hearing feedback, ideas, and questions from our guests.

Can I host my own event at Boom N’ Brew?
Yes — depending on the idea, timing, and availability. We’re open to creative, community-focused events like poetry readings, small talks, workshops, listening parties, and more. Reach out with your concept and we’ll let you know what’s possible.

Can I rent out the café?
Yes. Private rentals may be available during off-hours or by special arrangement. Pricing and availability depend on the day, time, and staffing needs. Tell us what you’re envisioning and we’ll walk you through options.

I have an idea for a poetry slam, open mic, or creative night — who do I talk to?
We love hearing ideas like that. While we don’t guarantee payment or production support, we’re happy to discuss door splits, promotion, and logistics for events that align with the space. If you’ve got a clear concept and are willing to help promote it, let’s talk.

Do you support local artists and creators?
Yes. We’re always interested in collaborating with local artists, musicians, writers, and performers when the timing and format make sense. Whether it’s a one-time event or a recurring idea, pitch it to us.

Can I decorate or customize the space for my event?
In some cases, yes. Any decorations or setup changes need to be approved in advance and must be easy to install and remove. We’ll go over details together to make sure it works for everyone.

Can events be ticketed?
Yes. Ticketed events are possible depending on the format. We’ll discuss how tickets, door sales, and promotion would work before confirming anything.

Do you provide sound, microphones, or equipment?
Basic needs can sometimes be accommodated, but availability varies. If your event requires specific equipment, let us know up front so we can plan accordingly.

Can I partner with Boom N’ Brew for a recurring event?
Possibly. We’re open to recurring events if they’re well-organized, consistently promoted, and a good fit for the space and our guests. Successful one-offs often lead to repeat opportunities.

What kinds of events are not a good fit?
Events that require large stage setups, guaranteed pay, or disrupt normal café operations may not be a fit for the café itself — but could be perfect for our larger venue next door at The Boom Boom Room. We’ll always try to point you in the right direction.

What’s the best way to pitch an event idea?
Send us a short description of your idea, preferred dates or times, expected attendance, and how you plan to promote it. The more info you give us, the easier it is to say yes.
