Flyover
A cannabis-friendly social club in St. Louis.
What is Flyover?
Flyover is a new kind of membership club designed for artists and creatives. We seek to reimagine unused industrial spaces into cannabis-friendly creative lounges that support the local art community.
We are currently raising money to open our first location in St. Louis, MO.
Ethos
Contrary to Californian belief, creative excellence thrives between the coasts. The artistic community in St. Louis is broad and deep. It doesn’t get the recognition it deserves.
We’re at a unique point in St. Louis history. Cannabis has been legalized recreationally, and for all of the community culture formed around neighborhood coffee shops and local bars, there are no spaces to consume cannabis together*.
For millennia, humans have recognized the intertwined nature of creative expression and cannabis. You don’t have to consume to recognize its value to the creative community. Now that cannabis is legal, it’s time we create a space that honors that connection.
Throughout the “Flyover” states are under-appreciated painters and musicians, builders and tinkerers, dancers and sculptors. We’re building a creative hub that connects likeminded artists and patrons in an aspirational space.
We take our name from pride in where we are—and aren’t.
*The exception to this is the Cola Lounge on Cherokee—shoutout to Brennan and the STL Cannabis Club.

Into this.
Using simple, transformative elements like lighting, furniture, art, and music, we can effectively reimagine industrial buildings into aspirational creative spaces.
The Concept
A membership-based, cannabis-friendly social club for creatives
Seasonal Artist Invitations
The Flyover concept revolves around 3-month art rotations, during which local artists are invited to display work, create installations, and generally transform our gallery spaces.
Creative Tools & Workspace
During normal hours, Flyover members have access to a space filled with art installations, a coffee shop, lounge furniture, and creative amenities like sketchbooks and working spaces.
Events, Music & Live Performances
Flyover members will also get access to ticketed events like DJ sets, concerts, stand-up comedy, etc.
Cannabis-friendly, BYOB & Coffee Shop
During normal hours and all Flyover events, Flyover is cannabis-friendly, meaning you can consume in our space. However, for legal reasons, we don’t sell cannabis. A coffee shop will operate during daytime hours, and nighttime events will be BYOB.
