4 Hands and Peacemaker: A New Culinary Destination in Kirkwood

4 Hands and Peacemaker, one of the most-anticipated restaurants of the year, opened 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, a boutique gift shop near the Kirkwood train station.

The restaurant, three years in the making, offers a “transportive” dining experience envisioned by partners Lemp and Nashan. The 2,500-square-foot interior is complemented by a covered patio with 9-foot tall accordion glass doors, an uncovered patio, and a green space referred to as the “back yard.” This outdoor area provides a safe space for kids to play while adults dine nearby.

DG2 Design, landscape architects, collaborated closely with the building architect, Eddy Design Group and civil engineer, Castle to ensure a seamless transition between the building and the landscaped patios. Guests are greeted with a park-like setting featuring native plants, landscape boulders, and trees, creating a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor spaces.

The outdoor space includes ADA-compliant restrooms, ensuring comfort and convenience for all guests. An additional patio area adjacent to a red caboose is set to be adorned with string lights and sail shades, adding to the charm.

Early visitors have praised the spacious, beautifully landscaped environment, making 4 Hands and Peacemaker a standout addition to the Kirkwood dining scene.
