Journal & Sip Happy Hour w/ The Ivy Cafe & STL Journal Collective
Who says you can't have fun on weekdays? Join the STL Journal Collective for an intimate, cozy, and relaxing weeknight event to unwind, reflect, and make new friends.
The STL Journal Collective is so excited to partner with The Ivy Cafe in Clayton for our first ever Journal & Sip event on Wednesday, September 9 from 4:00–5:30 PM. Your $8 ticket includes a N/A spritz & the happy hour + full menu is available to order.
Come solo or bring a friend, order a bite from the happy hour menu (or full menu), and settle in for guided journaling and optional conversation in one of the coziest spaces in STL. No journaling experience needed, and there’s never any pressure to share. Just bring a journal, a pen, an open mind and appetite. We’ll take care of the rest.
Julie Blackerby, the founder and heart behind Ivy, has thoughtfully grown the restaurant into a beloved neighborhood gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Since opening in 2022, Ivy has become woven into the daily rhythm of the community, from carefully crafted lattes to intimate dinners shared with loved ones. Every detail at The Ivy is designed to invite connection and create a place where people can slow down, enjoy simple pleasures, and feel truly at home. It’s a natural setting for an STL Journal Collective gathering, and we can’t wait to experience it with you!
Come as you are or share with a friend who might love it too. And if cost is ever a barrier, reach out to us and we'll work everything out :)
