O'Connell's Pub Sold After 80 Years
Description
After 80 years of serving St. Louis, O’Connell’s Pub is closing its doors — but not without a heartfelt farewell. Longtime owner John Parker Jr., who took over in 1982 and bought the place in 1996, announced the sale on social media, calling it a bittersweet end to an era. Though he’s proud of the memories and legacy built over decades, Parker believes the new local restaurant owners — seasoned in the St. Louis dining scene — will honor the pub’s soul while bringing fresh energy. He’s even open to future collaborations, including with a local brewery, to keep O’Connell’s thriving in its new chapter.
