Bridge Haven

About Us

      Bridge Haven was created in 1992  by George Hawley.   There was lots of fun with lessons and games at that time.   George even turned the club into a family event, with his daughters helping him on occasions.   Chuck Starovasnik started running Bridge Haven in 1997, and continued the fun.   Bridge Haven has been in four different locations since it's creation.  Bridge Haven has been at its present location, 6205 N. Lindbergh since February 2007.  Bridge Haven in conveniently located off highway 270 at N. Lindbergh, exit 25A, south.

Bridge Haven's goal is to provide a variety of Bridge playing experiences for all bridge players in the greater St. Louis area.  This would include novice games, stratified pairs, team games, and pot luck games.  If you have a suggestion about a bridge games, feel free to discuss it with Chuck, 618-530-4300, or Barbara, home= 314-822-9454.  The monthly pot luck games is the result of a suggestion from an active bridge player.

The art work at Bridge Haven was done by one of our bridge player, Bob Snyder.  Bob and his wife, Pat have been playing Bridge at Bridge Haven for many years.

Bob first did art work for Bridge Haven when we were at the Brooks road location.  Bob had a life size deck of cards going around the room.  However, when that building was torn down, there was no way to save the art work as it was painted directly on the walls that came tumbling down. 

Thus, at our new location, please note the paintings are on boards that match the painted wall.  Thus, if we have to move again, we will be able to take the paintings with us.

Bridge Haven has been working with Cheryl Ward, the president of ABA, to promote bridge among its members.  Hatchie Greene, a director from ABA has held classes and monthly games at Bridge Haven.  Feel free to call Hatchie, 314-355-8835 about her next class.

One of Bridge Haven's newest game is Monday evening, at 7 p.m.  The director is Lee Hastings.  Lee is teaching Easy Bridge at the Junior College, and has invited his students to the Monday evening game.   Everyone is welcome at this game, but because most of the players are learning, this game is extremely "Novice Friendly".  Come one and all and enjoy.

In February 2008, Dave Shanahan started a "299 Game" at 10:30 am. every Tuesday morning.   This game was cancelled at the end of March due to lack of interest.  If anyone is interested in a novice game please give Chuck a call at 618-530-4300 or Dave at 314-427-7984.
