Welcome to Thymes Past,Alton, United States. Thymes Past is a Bistro & Wine Bar, in Alton Illinois.
Looking for something new and different? Come enjoy the relaxed and serene atmosphere of Thymes Past only 20 minutes from St. Louis and only 1.9 miles north of the intersection of Broadway and State Street in downtown Alton. Before or after cruising the “Great River Road”, take an adventurous “detour” up through the historic Christian Hill neighborhood and on to a refreshing and relaxing time at Thymes Past. The Bistro is located in a two-story brick home built in 1862 known as the “Krug” House and sits on approximately 9 acres. Lunch, dinner, appetizers, drinks and desserts are offered in the two main floor dining rooms, in the first floor bar and, weather permitting, on the front porch or on one of three decks overlooking the back wooded area. A second floor dining room, conference room and lounge are available for private functions. Whether you’re looking for a place to dine; a quiet retreat to savor a cocktail or a glass of wine; a comfortable and private setting for that important business meeting; or a unique setting for a private party or special celebration, the Bistro is available for all of your entertaining needs.
The kitchen is open and we welcome you to come and say “Hi”. Meals are prepared with the finest of ingredients and with loving care by Chef/Owner, Linda K. Leckrone and Chefs Deborah Slinkard, Patricia Toussaint and Maria Pace.
One of the unique aspects of Thymes Past is that the entire facility can be reserved for private parties - and, often is. Therefore, we suggest that you call ahead, not necessarily for reservations, but to inquire as to whether or not the Bistro will be open to the public on the day of your planned visit.
