STREET. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. – A local St. Charles County restaurant and bar will soon transform its 26 acres into a multi-entertainment complex.
The Quarry, located along Highway Z in New Melle, announced that next year its space will expand to accommodate more people, more music and things to do.
Owners Matthew Meier and Rob Roddy were inspired to bring a grass garden space to one of the fastest growing regions in the state: western St. Charles County.
“We decided to add multiple different twists to it while maintaining the natural feel of the property,” Meier said. “It has always been our dream to offer something exciting and new to our community.”
Improvements include 25,000 square feet of grass, volleyball and pickleball courts, and food trucks. In addition to its existing quarry, a second will feature a 30-foot waterfall.
Near the quarry there will be a new venue for parties, receptions and tree houses to enjoy the scenery, Meier added. Guests will also be able to hear larger bands on the lawn.
Golf fans or competitive spirits will have the opportunity to win a prize with a “hole in one” challenge, starting from the property to the green located directly in the middle of the quarry, between 150 and 170 yards.
While changes will be made to the outside, Meier said details inside will also change, including updated menus, faster service times and servers going directly to tables, a change from the need for customers to go to the counter to place an order.
Meier said the community has been “overwhelmingly positive” about the upcoming changes.
“We believe this is in part because we are two hard-working owners who have invested a lot of our time and money into starting this project, doing many of the upgrades and construction ourselves, using much of our previous experience,” he said. “We’re not big developers by any means; we’re just two passionate, hard-working people who believe in delivering something amazing for our growing community.”
The project is expected to be completed by the second weekend in May. To stay up to date on the latest developments, click here.
