We are thrilled to announce the opening of 4 Hands and Peacemaker, one of the most-anticipated restaurants of the year, right in downtown Kirkwood. This unique partnership between 4 Hands Brewing Co. and Peacemaker Lobster & Crab has transformed the space previously occupied by Down by The Station, near the Kirkwood train station, into a must-visit dining destination.

Over the past three years, we collaborated closely with the building architect, Eddy Design Group and civil engineer, Castle to ensure a seamless transition between the restaurant’s interior and its beautifully landscaped patios. The result is a “transportive” dining experience that perfectly blends indoor and outdoor spaces adjacent to the train tracks.

As you step into the 2,500-square-foot restaurant, you’re greeted by a covered patio with 9-foot tall accordion glass doors on three sides. This area flows effortlessly into an uncovered patio and a charming green space we lovingly refer to as the “backyard.” Here, kids can safely play while adults relax and dine, surrounded by native plants, landscape boulders, and trees that create a serene, park-like setting.

Visit 4 Hands and Peacemaker in Kirkwood and see why it’s quickly becoming a standout addition to the local dining scene.
