The Bavarian Inn

Here’s the description — I kept the “construction will commence in Q4 2024” language as written, but since we’re now in mid-2026, you may want to update that to reflect the project’s actual status (likely completed or underway) before this goes out.

2,080 SF of retail space is available for lease at the Bavarian Inn, located in Tower Grove East along Arsenal Street between Minnesota and Gravois. The space is divisible into 960 SF and 1,120 SF units, offering flexibility for a single larger tenant or two independent businesses.

The space also includes 2,040 SF of basement storage, providing substantial additional capacity for inventory, supplies, or equipment without consuming the primary retail footprint. A 740 SF outdoor patio adds further usable space, well suited for food and beverage tenants or businesses looking to offer an outdoor customer experience.

18 dedicated off-street parking spaces are designated specifically for retail use, ensuring reliable parking availability for customers independent of any residential or other building parking demand.

The Bavarian Inn has recently undergone extensive renovation throughout, providing tenants with an updated building environment rather than a dated commercial shell.

Construction is set to commence in Q4 2024 on the nearby “Minnesota Townhome” project, consisting of 12 townhomes and 6 carriage houses located just two blocks from the property. This residential development is expected to add a meaningful nearby population base, supporting future foot traffic and customer demand for retail tenants at the Bavarian Inn.

The combination of divisible retail space, significant basement storage, a dedicated outdoor patio, ample retail-specific parking, recent renovations, and planned nearby residential growth makes this an attractive opportunity for retail or food and beverage tenants seeking flexible space in the Tower Grove East neighborhood.

This is a well-suited leasing opportunity for businesses looking to establish a presence in a renovated, amenity-rich building within a growing section of South St. Louis.
