Nothing boosts workplace morale and comradery like getting out of the office and having fun as a team! With so many options for restaurants and activities in St. Louis, choosing the perfect team outing can be daunting, and you don’t want to get stuck in a routine attending the same happy hour time after time. Look no further than this team building itinerary highlighting the bustling neighborhood of Maplewood! 


First Stop:

Schlafly Bottleworks 

7260 Southwest Ave, St. Louis, MO 63143

Open everyday starting at 11am, Schlafly is a great choice for grabbing lunch with the team! There’s plenty of onsite parking in the lot and space inside for seating. The menu offers a variety of options including multiple vegan and gluten free selections. There’s also over 15 different beers on tap ranging from IPAs to stouts and sours. Something for everyone here as the team can eat and relax before walking over to the next stop.


Second Stop:

Escape From St. Louis

7403 Manchester Rd, Maplewood, MO 63143

Put your team up to the challenge at Escape From St. Louis! This location is walking distance from Schlafly or there is plenty of free parking in the lot behind the building and on the street out front. The escape room allows your team to build essential skills like communication and problem solving in a fun, low-stakes environment. Escape From St. Louis can accommodate a team of 10 people in one room or about 26 people if you book all three of our current adventures. You can even add a fun challenge for your office and have three teams race each other! 


Final Stop:

The Blue Duck 

2661 Sutton Blvd, Maplewood, MO 63143

Right next door to Escape From St. Louis, treat your team to some of The Blue Duck’s incredible homemade desserts, including vegan and gluten free options! Be sure to try their Quack Pie, it’s a local favorite. Take them back to the office or enjoy the beautiful rooftop seating to reflect on your team’s performance in the escape room. 


Have fun exploring Maplewood and escaping that office slump!
