Ameristar Casino Resort Spa Introduces Charter 18 Modern Tavern: A Game-Changing Sports-Viewing and Dining Experience

ST. CHARLES, MO— Ameristar Casino Resort Spa St. Charles today announced the grand opening of Charter 18 Modern Tavern, an all-new gastropub providing a unique new sports viewing and dining experience for Ameristar guests.

Spanning over 8,200 square feet, Charter 18 Modern Tavern is designed to impress. At the heart of the venue is a striking 27-seat island bar, surrounded by video screens that make it the ultimate spot to grab a drink and catch the game. With 70 large-screen televisions covering the walls and a dedicated Top Golf Swing Suite, Charter 18 Modern Tavern delivers an immersive sports entertainment experience unlike anything else in the region.

“Charter 18 Modern Tavern is more than just a restaurant—it’s a destination for foodies and sports fans alike,” said Doug Lang, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Ameristar St. Charles. “We’ve created an experience where guests can enjoy elevated gastropub fare, catch multiple games on our massive viewing screens, and enjoy an atmosphere that’s stylish, exciting and welcoming.”

The interior design of Charter 18 Modern Tavern blends rustic charm with modern sophistication. A herringbone oak floor is accented by black-and-white marble mosaic tile, while a neutral, earth-tone palette is brought to life with navy-blue fabrics on barstools and banquette seating. Black-washed brick walls and satin-brass chandeliers add a touch of industrial elegance, creating a warm and inviting ambiance for every guest.

The menu includes dishes like the Havana Stack, a mojo-smoked pork, shaved ham, golden BBQ, melted Swiss, house-brined pickles, chimichurri; Sweet Heat Chicken, a batter-dipped crispy fried chicken thigh, hot honey drizzle, serrano chili slaw and roasted garlic aioli; the Pastrami Reuben featuring zesty sauerkraut, grilled onions, melted Swiss, butter-griddled marble rye and house sauce and New England Clam Chowda, featuring

little-neck clams, smoked bacon, Yukon potatoes, onions, celery and heavy cream.
