Whiskey on the Mississippi 2022!
Join us Saturday July 16th for an Epic Whiskey Cruise on the Mighty Mississippi!
Nothing brings to mind the Golden Years of St. Louis like the image of the great Paddle Wheelers that once lined our riverfront. These riverboats also transported the whiskey we know and love down to New Orleans. The St. Louis Bourbon Society wants to bring back a little of that magic to our fair city for just one day!
The SLBS has teamed up with Gateway Arch Riverboats for an amazing experience Saturday, July 16th, 2022. Come with us as we create fellowship in the spirit and enjoy some Whiskey on the Mississippi aboard the Becky Thatcher Riverboat!

How do I get there?
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIRECTIONS AND PARKING: The easiest way to get to Gateway Arch Riverboats is to search "The Mural Mile St Louis". This will get you down to the corner of Chouteau Ave & S Leonor K Sullivan. Once there make a left and proceed along S Leonor K Sullivan until you see the entrance to the ramp heading down to the riverboats on your right. Parking is $10 at the booth, CASH ONLY.

Please arrive early to verify you do not miss your departure time.
IF YOU SEARCH GATEWAY ARCH RIVERBOATS FOR DIRECTIONS YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO REACH THE RIVERBOAT DUE TO THE MAPS TRYING TO TAKE YOU ALONG THE RIVERFRONT WHICH IS GATED. THERE IS NO REFUND IF YOU DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE BOAT DEPARTURE.
