There's a new restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri that has been causing quite a stir. Located in Florissant, Missouri, Bliss is an upscale establishment that boasts West African and Caribbean cuisine. However, what sets this restaurant apart from others in the area is its strict age requirement policy. In order to enter the restaurant, women must be at least 30 years old and men must be 35 or older. This means that only the "grown and sexy" are welcome through its doors.
Owners Marvin Pate, 36, and his wife had a clear vision for their restaurant when they opened it two weeks ago. They wanted to create a space where people could experience pure happiness and feel like they were on a resort vacation. In an interview with KAKE, Pate explained, "It's a home away from home. You can come here and feel like you're actually on a resort." To maintain this atmosphere, they have implemented the age requirement to ensure that only mature and sophisticated individuals are dining at Bliss.
The age requirement has sparked some controversy, with some social media users criticizing the different age requirements for men and women. However, the restaurant stands by their decision and believes that it sets them apart from other establishments. Assistant Manager Erica Rhodes explains, "It's just something for the older people to come do and have a happy hour, come get some good food, and not have to worry about some of the young folks that bring some of that drama." By catering to a more mature crowd, Bliss hopes to create a peaceful and enjoyable dining experience for their patrons.
Despite the backlash, there are many who support Bliss and their age requirement policy. Some see it as a much-needed break from the drama and chaos often associated with younger crowds. "Grown folks only and no twerking on the tables. I support it," one person wrote on social media. Another added, "Need more spots like this."
Bliss also has plans to offer to-go orders in the near future, making their delicious cuisine accessible to all. And for those who are too young to dine at the restaurant, Assistant Manager Rhodes has a message: "Those younger ones, you can come patronize the business once you turn 30 or 35, because we're gonna be here for a while." So for those who are not yet of age, there's always something to look forward to in the future.
In the end, Bliss is sticking to their code and creating a unique dining experience for their mature and sophisticated clientele. As Pate confidently states, "Of course, we have been getting a little backlash, but that's OK because we're sticking to our code." So whether you're looking for a peaceful and upscale dining experience or simply want to escape the drama of younger crowds, Bliss is the place to be.
