Do you have Spirits?
Looking for a great, relatively new, venue for you wedding or other special event?
Spirits Lounge at the Temple and Temple Banquet Center located in the hub of downtown Alton could be the unique spot you have been searching for.
Located at 300 State Street, in the former Masonic Temple, this facility offers great service, old world charm, and even fun ghost stories (if that interests you or even more so the perfect conversation piece for your guests!!)
The lounge is located on the second floor, which you have the option of using the stairs or taking the elevator. You arrive in an area with leather chairs and sofas, which immediately creates the feeling of warmth and being welcomed! The beautiful, well-stocked bar is staffed by talented bartenders - Todd loves to entertain his guests and the marble top bar just adds even more to the charm.
The third floor is home to the Temple Banquet Center. High ceilings, dark wood trim, and fantabulous (yes, I did say this!!) crystal chandeliers is what makes this room very desirable. When couples have their wedding and reception at the Temple, it is customary after the ceremony for the guests to relocate to the second floor. In the lounge, the guests enjoy cocktails and return to the third floor - which has been transformed into a reception - for dinner and dancing.
We coordinated/decorated a wedding and reception this past October. It was wonderful! Check out the photos....Photos at the Temple Banquet Center
Just recently, Spirits Lounge, added a food menu. Last night, I stopped in following an appointment, and ordered dinner. The menu is diverse...I finally decided on pulled pork, as I have had a crazy hunger for BBQ. The salad wasn't just an ordinary iceberg lettuce run of the mill kind. WOW! it was filled with darks greens, a sweet surprise. The chef came out to speak with me and asked about the dressing......I ordered poppy seed and it was delicious, so I told him. He makes is own dressings - love it! Did I mention the "sweet potato fries"....oh my! hmm, hmm.
The lounge is open Wednesday - Sunday, but you will need to call about the hours of operation: 618-463-5555
