3 Maplewood Businesses to Go Smokeless if Exemptions End
Two Maplewood bars and a bowling alley currently allow smoking. The St. Louis County Council may vote to change that.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, St. Louis County Councilman Mike O’Mara plans to introduce legislation Tuesday to apply the St. Louis County smoking ban to all bars and restaurants equally, including the county casinos.
Three Maplewood businesses would be effected.
- Saratoga Lanes, 2725 Sutton Boulevard
- McLain's Corner Bar Grill & BBQ, 3516 S Big Bend Boulevard
- Foleys Bar & Grill, 3522 Greenwood Boulevard
Brentwood has already banned smoking in all bars and restaurants.
- American Legion Seeks Smoking Ban Exemption
- Brentwood Goes Smoke-Free; Local Bar Owners Unhappy
- Aldermen Still Undecided on Smoking Ban Exemption
- Brentwood Committee Will Discuss Smoking Ban Exemption
- Maplewood, Brentwood Councilman Supports Countywide Smoking Ban, No Exemptions
Has a smokey environment kept you from any of these Maplewood businesses? What about smokers' rights?

Oh man, I cannot wait to finally go to Saratoga Lanes! I have tried several times, but the lack of oxygen kept me from making it up the stairs.

Oh, me too! I'll get the urge to go check it out, and by the top of the stairs - it's always, no way..

This would be so wonderful! I think Saratoga is missing out on many potential patrons--so many families in the MRH community--by allowing smoking there. We live down the street and have wanted to go many times as well but, thus far, have never even walked in the door.

Saratoga knew this was coming down the pipeline. That's why they build that outdoor upper deck that hangs above the parking lot. I wonder why they didn't ban smoking indoors once the outdoor space was installed.
