During the early hours of Tuesday, St. Louis was hit by a record-breaking and banks-bursting quantity of rain. In fact, more water fell in eight hours than we’ve received in an entire day, going back all the way to 1915. Naturally, this storm has affected many of our neighbors, customers, friends and family across the…

In case you didn’t see the sticker on the door or the smile on our faces, we are proud to inform you that The Watering Bowl was recently named one of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Workplaces.

But it wouldn’t be possible without dedicated employees who oversee our guests, day and night. (In fact, we just recognized the best of the best.) They’re truly amazing.…
