Low Risk

Saint Lou's Assembly & Moneygun appears in inspection records 16 times, starting in 2016. On Oct 2, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around two violations, down from roughly eight violations earlier in the record.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean”, showing up 11 times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
