After visiting bars across Europe, Giuseppe VanderPutten brought a taste of the old world back to Kansas. He opened this one-of-a-kind St. Marys spot in January 2025, and it looks unlike anything else in the state. Crafted cocktails and modern culinary twists are served in a medieval-inspired setting of hand-carved wood, rustic beams, and stone walls. Music nights often take over the basement bar. No matter what brings you to St. Marys, you’ll be treated like family here—served a warm, home-cooked meal and a beer. It’s more than a stop; it’s an experience.
