Just across the street from the hotel I was staying in in Missouri was the St. Louis Union Station Soda Fountain - complete with ice cream, candy, burgers and booze.



This spot seems very commercial with giant ceilings, beautiful finishes and a sprawling space. I tend to love places that have a bit of a personal touch in some manner. But that's not to say this place isn't fun.



They serve diner fare, gigantic milkshakes - and boozy drinks, too.
 


The St. Louis Standard drink caught my eye because it's made with Clementine's Gooey Butter Cake Ice cream, Still 630 Expedition Rum, and Golden Road Brown.



Now, this is one very boozy drink.



So, there's another entire section of the restaurant that is dedicated to a shop with all kinds of retro candies or uncommon sweets.



And of course I left with a whole bag full of goodies.
