The Forge Story

Located in old town Cape, this historic structure is a block from Southeast Missouri State University’s River Campus. Housed in a former feed and seed store, where owner, Steve Watkins, and his father, purchased horse feed during his childhood years. Watkins has reimagined the old feed store into an eclectic, comfortable venue. Maintaining original pine floors, and exposed brick walls, the space is divided by two beautiful barn doors to reveal a large, open front room. At the rear space, a more intimate area is home to a custom-designed bar and vintage feed mixers.

Our Location

Located a block from Southeast Missouri State’s River Campus, the Forge is within walking distance of the Mighty Mississippi River and Cape’s historic downtown.
