MAC CATERING: DiningDifferently
During the pandemic, it has been the Missouri Athletic Club’s mission to help Members feel safe coming to the Clubhouse. This means our staff has gone above and beyond providing new opportunities to be a part of the Club during COVID-19. The MAC’s catering staff have also adapted during this time to bring private parties the premier quality the MAC is known to have.

guests have the social distancing they are looking for at their events and have become increasingly flexible in room usage, etc. An event that previously was held in the Laclede Room may now be in the much larger Crystal Room or even Missouri Ballroom. We have also noticed a trend that guests are more comfortable attending events outdoors during these COVID times, so we offer our garage rooftop or building rooftop options. Currently, we are able to accommodate events at 50% of the venue capacity, so we have lots of options to provide our guests to be social and feel safe and secure all at the same time. We are providing individually wrapped grab and go meal options, or chef attended buffets rather than the previous self-service style. Plated meals are also a great option to minimize contact and cross-contamination.”
