Prism STL

Prism STL is an LGBTQ+ cocktail bar and drag cabaret located at 4510 Manchester Avenue in St. Louis's Grove neighborhood. Opened as one of the area's newer queer nightlife destinations, the venue pairs a roughly 1,900-square-foot indoor cocktail lounge and cabaret stage with about 2,000 square feet of outdoor patio space, giving guests room to gather, drink, and watch a show. Entertainment is at the heart of Prism, with drag performances featuring local entertainers staged nightly and a popular weekly Sunday drag brunch that includes a catered buffet along with mimosa and Bloody Mary specials. The bar pours a full lineup of specialty cocktails, beer, wine, and seltzers, and rounds out the experience with a food menu that includes locally made pizza. The business was founded by a team of St. Louis owners, including husband-and-husband bar managers Sean and Jack Abernathy, finance director Matthew Connell, and cabaret manager Michael Klataske, a performer with decades in the local drag scene. A member of the St. Louis LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce, Prism STL has quickly become a welcoming, community-centered spot for drinks, drag, and celebration in the Grove.
