Restaurant Scams in St. Louis

Laclede's Landing Bar Tab and Cover Manipulation

Laclede's Landing—the historic entertainment district along Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard between the Eads Bridge and the Gateway Arch—concentrates tourists and Cardinals game-day crowds in a strip of bars and restaurants. Bartenders at several venues have been reported for adding unrequested rounds, applying unadvertised cover charges after entry, and double-charging cards during high-volume game nights. Signage for cover charges is sometimes posted only after entry.
