NoGas Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 As everyone knows, we are currently in search of a place to hold monthly meetings. I've been trying places and asking trusted friends for suggestions. Many of our members are in IL and many are out west by St. Charles, it seemed that something in between would be great. Something that people didn't have to drive an hour to. We need a place that can give us a private area, where we can talk at the table without shouting over music. The place must also be flexible enough to accommodate 30 people showing up at the same time, or only 4 and not worry that it's not worth their time to give us our own space. It would also be a big plus if we could see our bikes from where we are sitting and maybe even have an entrance that we used from the private area directly to that parking. The food must be reasonably priced. Two of our members prefer to eat vegan, so the menu must have some option for them as well. Some of us like to enjoy a brewski while chatting, so some alcohol would be nice too. I think I found a place that meets all of the above criteria. I've chatted with the owners and they would love for us to come try it out. Though in the city, it's in a very nice neighborhood, Lafayette Square. It's called Mayo Ketchup. They have a range of things from fries, sandwiches and soda, to delicious bruschetta, empanadas, and tostones, as the chef has a passion for cuisine from Puerto-Rico, Dominican Republic and Cuba. If you're willing to try the place please vote yes, if not please vote no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbo Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Google Maps - Mayo Ketchup - For anyone who didn't know where the restaurant was located. 🙂 I posted on Facebook too, but is this intended as a new monthly place or a one-time place? Last meeting it was mentioned changing it up monthly, I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morbo Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 No worries, I think Mike mentioned it, but not 100% certain. I already voted on the assumption this was a new, regular spot. [Edit] I'll qualify my 'No' vote - the restaurant looks good, I'm just getting a bit burnt out on driving a good ways no matter where we've had meetings (I'm sure Mike is too). If we change to this spot, I'd probably still go. I just haven't said much (till now) because I haven't done anything to find a different spot so it's not my place to say anything unless I'm willing to offer alternatives. I appreciate you putting in the time and effort to try and find a different meeting place. [\Edit] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogpark Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I didn't vote either way... I'm kinda over meetings... but I don't go in the city, especially in the evening, that would just be making myself a target. I might travel to O'Fallon, IL or Eureka, Mo before going anywhere near downtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
