4 Hands Brewing Company

Very impressed with their beer and the rye, also made there. Food looked great, but I wasn’t hungry. Good merch. Very friendly atmosphere and staff.

Always a good time at Four Hands Brewery! Excellent IPAs selection, tasty $8 boozy slushy cocktails for non-beer drinkers and the best merch of any brewery in the city! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. They also offer cheap parking on Cardinals game days that comes with 2 drink tickets!

Neat brewery south of the arch in downtown St. Louis. This place is popular for their Voltron-themed beer. The 1980’s cartoon Voltron— while originally from Japan—was assembled by a local TV station in St. Louis. 4 Hands Brewing procured the rights from Universal to use the Voltron trademark. Their merchandise is very popular, and sells out quickly. The Voltron Hazy IPA itself? Eh…honestly nothing special. (It’s a strong, hazy IPA.) The Nitro Irish Stout was more impressive.

Good beer. Excellent atmosphere. Cool people. Very cool place. A lot going on but doesn't come off as cluttered or forced. The burger was incredible! The beer was on point

Super fun! I love their beer choices, upstairs they have fun games, and the burgers are good as well! Super fun lowkey spot and enjoy the local brews.

Great brewery with good beer selection - Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Theres an awesome space upstairs to eat and be merry. They even have video games for the kids. Tried their rye whiskey, which was pretty good but priced a little high for the (my) taste. Having a shared space restaurant in their venue is a nice touch, but not technically 4Hands so wont review it. But it was 4 star bar food. Kid friendly during the day .

Great beer and food. Enjoyed some pinball and Golden Tee also!

What a difference 11 years makes. When I came to this brewery in 2014, the staff were incredibly nice and wanted to talk about their beers. Came in today for the first time since and the server couldn't have been more unsocial and uninterested in talking about the beers. They were charging $10 for parking, which is ridiculous to do a beer flight. All the server was interested in doing was serve beer as quickly as possible and move on. As far as the beer, they are good but not great. Had a 4 glass flight. Overall, a really disappointing experience for someone who had great memories of a previous visit.

I love this place. I love their beer. I love STL. Friendly service, plenty of seating, super cool location! Give it a go 100%! I always suggest 4 hands to my customers visiting in town because they have just a little of everything to offer. :)

The beer here is not to my liking, everything is quite sweet. Everything has a murky appearance, even the pilsners. (see photo) The ambiance of the place was kind of boring. The bartender was leaning onto the bar to play on his phone, right in front of me. His phone was inches from touching mine. Someone else at the bar said "are you guys friends?!" when the bartender said "no", he replied "you need to get out of that guy's face then." Thanks man.

Stopped by for drinks on a Saturday afternoon. It was decently busy. We ordered at the counter and then found a table. We ordered a flight - the peach wheat, Irish stout, peanut butter banana stout, and coffee stout. Everything was good.

Visited this brewery while in St. Louis. It's in a great location close to the ballpark, and they give you cups of beer to go. They have a large upstairs with lots of different games to play. I was hoping for a better beer selection. They didn't have much variety.

We love parking here on game days and enjoying a drink following the game! Their staff is very friendly, even when they are busy. They have great variety of beer and seltzers, I haven't tried any cocktails but I'm sure those are great as well! They partnered with High-Point and have a pretty yummy menu to pair with your beverages.

This is the only spot we hit up twice in one weekend when visiting STL, so that is saying some thing. Extremely friendly bartenders, great beer, excellent food, and what a COOL beer hall they have upstairs! The whole vibe is fantastic, and it has a clean, industrial aesthetic.

One of my favorite local breweries that has a wide variety of beers, seltzers, and cocktails. The staff is always friendly and quick. My favorite seasonal beer is the Passionfruit Prussia. It has a great sour juicy flavor. Peacemaker has a pop-up restaurant on the first floor. Their menu has a selection of appetizers and sandwiches. The food is good but a bit high priced. 4 Hands is a great place to grab a drink before a Cardinals game.

My friend had her birthday party here so she rented out an area of the upper level. It was a nice and spacious area with some arcade games. There wasn't many people there at noon when we arrived but before the cardinals game started, there was a good amount of people who showed up. There's a large bar upstairs and there was 2 bartenders so we didn't have an issue getting service. The bar has all their beer, and also wine, ciders, and hard alcohol so there's something for everyone. You order food on your phone and then pick it up at the window downstairs. The food was ready quickly and was good bar food. We got an order of fries, wings, pretzels, and their nachos. The potato chip nachos and the pretzels were my favorite. Both had beer cheese, which I love. Overall, this is a nice chill environment to have a few drinks and get some quality bar food.

This place is silly, first of all there's no wait staff. Which would be pretty normal if they only had one way to order things... but they don't. You gotta order your food by scanning a QR code (which a lot of people won't understand but ok) certainly you can order drinks from that same place right??? Wrong, you gotta go to the bar and order drinks, so they're gone by the time you sit back down. THEN there's a different set of drinks for the upstairs and downstairs bar... so you order a "downstairs drink" at the upstairs bar, then they guy goes, "ugh I'll have to go downstairs to make that" while I'm standing there like, idgaf if you gotta go to Spain why the hell arent all the drinks available at both bars?? So then you still gotta go downstairs to grab your food. So, you spend the whole night running around and watching your phone to see if your food's ready going back and forth from the bar and upstairs and downstairs. Like wtf is this

Steve and I had 4 Hands Brewing lately and we really liked what we had a lot! It was the Madagascar Withered Oak Caribbean Rum and Port. It was an Imperial Stout which was very good! Despite having a 9.3 ABV it felt much, much stronger but it was a delightful stout to be sure and one we will remember very, very fondly! For flavors with this stout look for flavor features like rum, chocolate, bourbon and caramel. You will definitely pick up the barrel aged aspect with this stout as it was aged in Rum and Port barrels which makes it very unique from many! Definitely a good stout and I see several versions of Madagascar which I'd love to try sometime!

I love this location! It's such an easy place to get to right off of the highway and the parking is convenient & safe. I've enjoyed all of the beers I've ever had from here and am so happy they have the City Wide Light on draft for an easy drinking option. The gin-based cocktails are also quite delightful. The last time I was in, we ordered the cauliflower bites & fries. I'd say both were good but not amazing. Maybe a little too much breading on the cauliflower but a generous portion. I was a little annoyed that the dipping sauce for the bites was an added charge but of course I coughed up the money for some ranch to dunk them. Definitely a great spot for a lowkey night with drinks & snacks!

Absence of Light Peanut Butter Chocolate Milk Stout: 4 Hands Brewing was founded in 2011 and is located in St Louis, Missouri. They are the largest craft brewery in the city and have given back over $300,000 to local non-profits. The brewery describes their stout as "The perfect mash-up of cacao nibs and peanut butter supported by caramel, chocolate and roasted malts, Absence of Light opens with huge aromas reminiscent of creamy peanut butter cups and transitions into a silky milk stout with rich chocolate and coffee notes tapering to a slightly sweet finish provided by an addition of milk sugar." It has an ABV of 7.1% and is only available August-February. I'm by no means a teetotaler, but I'm much less of a beer enthusiast than I was in my college days. This was the third stout I tried this past winter and while drinking it I had the epiphany that even though I really want to like stouts, I don't. That being said, I think most stout fans will enjoy this beer. Peanut butter did stand out to me as it was prominent in the aftertaste, but the beer was too bitter for my preference. Absence of Light comes in one of the coolest looking cans I've encountered. It depicts some type of peanut putter monster/demon sitting on what might be a spoon. Kudos to the artist. Overall, for me this one was just okay. Doughboy_Food_Reviews

Nice brewery in downtown. They have a variety of beer, seltzer and cocktails items. We came for meat bingo and it was a lot of fun, they have a huge upstairs area for the brewery and a nice benches for when it's warm outside. The food was so good and the Buffalo cauliflower is always my favorite. Staff was knowledgable about beer and nice . When you order food you have it get it at the window downstairs

Sign on door and website both say it opens at 11 on Friday. Employees clearly there. But door was closed, and if you call, the pre-recorded message mentions opening at 12. Disappointing for sure, and misleading having driven all the way over.

Excellent local brewery to grab a cold craft and snack (sandwiches, salads, munchies) before heading to a Cardinals game. Friendly bar service, Peacemaker Food window, enjoy casual and relaxed ambience, good gathering spot for friends and/or family. Both 1st floor and 2nd floor (games and more) are open, plus front street patio area. Really like their atmosphere, overall 4.25+ rated for my experience and quality of service, food and brews. Expect to pay $10-15pp for meal/snack, and $7-8 for a pint of local brew. This is definitely more reasonable than buying food and drink at the stadium if you have pre-game (or post-game) time to spare! Today we tried a new Hazy IPA (Voltron collaboration) that put us in our "hoppy" place! Ordered a Frisco Melt to share, yummy smash burger on grilled sourdough with pickles and special sauce! Side of fries were hot and tasty and good shareable. Also tried an order of Buffalo Wings; tender and flavorful with just enough spiciness to complement a cold one! All fun at 4Hands Brewery! Check it out (game day or not) if you haven't been to their original downtown location and want to enjoy some cold craft brews and good food! Cheers, ENJOY!!

Food meh, everything else fine. The seltzer I had was mid, more like bubbly water with a spritz of flavor. The corndog I had was so subpar. One, it was small. Two, it was burned. Also the bread birds were fried? Not a good experience and the garlic powder was just thrown on top, not good. Service was good. Atmosphere was good too.

Had to stop at least one brewery. I loved the look of the outside so of course I had to stop. I had the 5 oz of the Yes,Tea which was delicious!

A local told us about this brewery so we thought it'd be a great stop to have a beer and also an early dinner. Upon arrival with free parking, we got out and we're immediately approached by an older man on a golf cart offering us a ride to the stadium with cheap beer. He tried to sway us from going inside the brewery because the beer was expensive. However, we avoided him and later found out he is banned from the bar For being unprofessional to the owners and Patrons. So when you go, avoid him. We ordered salads and sandwiches and I will give the rating of a four because the food was good, but it was a little too greasy but overall really good for the beers that they have are all really good but I chose the summer one. That's a lemon lime zest. Don't remember the name exactly when you walk in. You will see their small little distillery. A great seating area by the main bar and as you go upstairs, you will see a lot more seating and bar and arcade games. I highly recommend going to this brewery for a great open space hangout that has food and even a little gift shop.

Great place to hangout with a glass of beer Service up at the bar great and love the outdoor seating area. The large opening doors make the interior feel very open. Would recommend

The space is unique, but the beer isn't my favorite. I've had a flight and a beer this recent visit and one of the seasonal blueberry seltzers last year. None of which really matched my pallet.

Super cool brewery. 100% kid friendly. Service was great! Really cool environment! Chill and laid-back. My husbands favorite beer was Incarnation. I had a cider from Brick River Cider Co- Homestead- which was also really good! We had a great time! They also have this game called Sub Soccer & a huge Pac-Man machine that was so cool!

I enjoyed a few local craft brews on a quick visit to St. Louis, and had the pleasure of actually visiting 4 Hands on a Sunday afternoon. The 2nd floor was closed for a private event, and the weather wasn't cooperating, so the 1st floor was it- and it was full of young families. Just throwing out a wish for the future, if it's a full house, and there's clearly a table full of kids (only) drinking water, I would hope the parents would feel that the small place might be better served by its intended customer- those there to actually pay for beer and food sitting at the table. Just wishing! This situation gave me time to grab a lovely Berliner Weisse and stand around waiting for a table or a seat at the small bar. Table procured, eventually! Ordered a flight and loved the round of styles that 4 Hands is brewing, and their Voltron IPA collabs are a standout. We ordered from the kitchen and damn they are serving up GOOD FOOD! I got the wings which were nice, and my dining partner ordered a salad and loved it. Service at the bar was always friendly, and I regret only carrying out two 4-packs, a Voltron collab and the Tiger's Blood (strawberry watermelon coconut) seltzer. They've got a ton of seltzer options. Good craft beer option while in St. Louis!

4 Hands Brewing is two stories of greatness. We started upstairs, where there are arcade games and lots of space to spread out. The upstairs area also has a bar, which is where I sampled a few 4 Hands Brewing beers and spirits. I don't usually like sweet fruity drinks, but the 4 Hands Sparkler hard seltzer surprised me. It tasted exactly like a bomb pop! It brought back all kinds of memories of summer and ice cream trucks, except the Sparkler was better because it had alcohol in it. Another one of my favorites was the Blue Morpho Gin, which starts off blue in the glass, then turns purple when you add an acid like citrus or tonic water. It was kind of like watching the bartender do a magic trick as he was making me a gin & tonic. I bought a bottle of the Blue Morpho to take home because I loved it so much. I didn't eat too much here -- my visit was mostly to try their beverages -- but I did have a soft pretzel, which was good. I also want to mention that the service was top notch. The people who work here are all very friendly, and even better, they were fast and efficient at making and delivering the drinks. Even though the brewery was packed, I still got great service from start to finish.

Had an event here & it's such an amazing space. It's super open for parties & the best thing about it is that the upper level has free arcade games to help keep guests busy! Let's talk about the catering food. Peacemakers! Yessss. Our favorite local seafood spot. You can't go wrong with any of the sliders. That buffalo cauliflower is delicious!! If you want to just stop in & try one of their beers, you won't be disappointed!

Love before and after games especially but wish they would have an extra bartender during the rush.

4 hands has more than just beer! I got a bottle of their vodka to go. Their seltzers are okay. The City Wide is a classic and the City Wide Light is a game changer! We love playing the arcades games on the second floor. This place is huge and a cool place to go before or after a cards game!

The place is nice. Good selection of beer. The staff is efficient. The food needs improvement. The fried pickles were over breaded and not crispy. The fried green tomatoes were flavorless. The kids chicken strips were rubbery. The fries were okay. The Mac and cheese was good. Overall bad food. We left most of it behind.

What a great space! I've had four hands beers many times, but had never been to one of their locations. The staff was so friendly and very welcoming. They had so many suggestions on which type of beer we should try. You order separate from the kitchen, the food is by Peacemaker & Sidney Street. The spicy fish sandwich was so good! And huge! And I could eat that buffalo cauliflower all day. The brisket nachos are served over kettle cooked potato chips. I would have preferred tortilla chips in the more traditional sense. But it was still very good.

Nice patio dining. It was a beautiful afternoon. Our server did a great Job. Food was great. Had fish and chips. Nice size portions. Made for a great afternoon

Absolutely amazing. I'm not a beer drinker, but from a cocktail and food point of view, 4 hands seems to bring the best of St. Louis together to create their menu and drinks. Peacemakers spices and batters make everything so flavorful and crispy, the local alcohols are amazing, and it's so nice to see 4 hands supporting others! The staff was the sweetest as well and let us sample/ask as many questions as we needed about the flavors.

Cool brewery in downtown St Louis. They have two floors and a number of beers. The second floor has a few arcade cabinets and a skee machine. You can also get some food. We got the pretzels with rarebit, which was super good. The beers were awesome. We even got a few to go. Bartender was friendly. Space has a cool, laid back vibe. Check them out!

We stopped to pick up a case of a specific beer that friends asked us to bring back home. Naturally, they were sold out. Still, we stayed to sample a few selections. Friendly service. Cold beer. And a nice selection on tap. I can't judge the quality of the beer as I'm not into stouts, IPA's or hefeweizen. There were a few lagers and pilsners for lightweights like me. But, based on the crowd, sure looks like a popular place.

So much space upstairs and lots of free arcade games to throw you back to childhood. Turns out I'm still as bad at Galaga now as I was when I was a kid. :-) Lots of options for different beer flights.

So we heard such great things about this place from so many people that we had to check it out. 4 hands bar is a very comfortable and clean place to hang out with a comfortable feel. Will & Gary provided excellent customer service and they we're very knowledgeable of all the various drafts they brew and liquor they distilled. So I could go on about their draft ... but I would recommend getting their flights so that you can try 4 different flavors at a time time you find the one you like So towards the end of the night I noticed that they had whiskey and had to try it. The Withered oak - Small batch rye whiskey is so smooth and all I can say is "this is so Fire" and "soooo ono smooth" that I had to get 2x to share back home Thanks guys and see you folks again when we're in town

Now, I'm not a beer drinker, but since I've been introduced to 4 Hands, I've grown an appreciation. Particularly, I enjoy their seltzers - the popsicle being my favorite. As for the actual brewery, I've been meaning to visit for some time. Came here with a friend and we had a great time! The staff were great and helpful with recommendations and samples. The food was good - I had the smoked beef nachos which was definitely filling, but could've used a little more flavoring. Overall, No complaints - will definitely be back!

I'm a fan of IPA, and they always have several to choose from. I like the outdoor atmosphere at The Factory.

Passion fruit Prussia = light, mild sour = super bomb Love it!!!! Thanks, 4 Hands!! :))

Over by LaSalle Park and not far from Busch Stadium is this gem of a place. Very cool and friendly staff from the cook to the bartender. All full of smiles and offering quality pub grub in a social atmosphere. Cards game rained out so we wound up here and I would have to say it made up for it. If you are hungry and want flavor but something healthy too, order the fish sandwich and Cobb salad. They were epically delicious and worth the 6 hour drive I took from the south to get here. There are two levels and recommend the second level as there is more space up there. Had lots of fun here. Almost forgot: try the chocolate milk stout: 5/5 perfection.

This restaurant is wheelchair accessible and has a great selection of cocktails! They responded immediately after we expressed some concerns about service, so they are very responsive.

Before going to the Cardinals game, I had to make a stop at @4handsbrewingco . We went upstairs where they have a whole second bar, arcade games, and more seating. This brewery is the perfect place to stop before a game being so close to the ballpark. My brewery companion and I split two flights, so I got to try EIGHT beers from the brewery from their seltzers to their imperial stouts. Rockmelon: A Hazy IPA with a pleasant juiciness. A unique flavor of cantaloupe from the fruit addition during fermentation and plenty of tropical flavors & aromas from El Dorado hops. Medium-low bitterness with balance from the fruit / hop choices. Sparkler Hard Seltzer: A proper seltzer choice for the Memorial Day Weekend. Taste like the nostalgic Bomb Pop with cherry, lime, and blue raspberry flavors. Single Speed An American Blonde Ale with a low toasted cracker malt profile. Medium-low floral aroma and flavor - jasmine flower additions apparent and enjoyable. Ultra Violet: A low ABV sour with just enough tartness. Very refreshing and easy drinking on a hot St. Louis day. Madagascar Maple: An Imperial Milk Stout aged in bourbon barrels that were used to age maple syrup. HUGE notes of maple, vanilla, and oak. Backed by medium chocolate. The maple syrup does provide sweetness, but not cloying. Madagascar Tahitian: An Imperial Milk Stout aged in freshly-emptied bourbon barrels with Tahitian vanilla beans, tart montmorency cherries, almonds, and cacao nibs from Davao, Philippines. Sweeter than the Maple, but good balance of nuttiness / roastiness with very minor cherry notes. Madagascar Cobbler: An Imperial Milk Stout in bourbon barrels with blackberries, raspberries, and cinnamon. Tastes like a cobbler straight from the oven with an explosion of warm spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate), vanilla, fruitiness, and mild bitterness. Very complex and my favorite of the variants. Madagascar Blueberry: An Imperial Milk Stout in bourbon barrels used for maple syrup with blueberries. Very fruity, balanced by the maple & bourbon characters similar to the Maple variant.

It's a great cozy place to stop in for a drink. The bartender was attentive and kind - and the options were delicious! I need to come back to explore the place a little more and try what else they have to offer.

My first St. Louis brewery visit was a hit. In an industrial area and charming. We got beers downstairs. Our selections included: Building Blocks; Earmuffs; and Full Life all really tasty. Upstairs is a party area with video games and Skeeball. Place was a lot of fun and I'd come back to buy beer to bring home. Plenty of parking out back. Nice people. Please tip them they hustle.

Love this place! The atmosphere is great, bartenders are cool, beer is good, and I love browsing the small store area for swag.

I went to visit with some friends. They were going for the limited release of cereal flavored stouts. I was throughly impressed with the amount of creativity that goes into the various beers. Truth be told, I'm not much of a beer drinker especially stouts. I think I've finally found my go-to stouts. My favorite is the Fat Elvis which is banana and peanut butter. Crazy I know but it was delicious!! I'm planning to pick up some to bring home. I'm thinking a pour over on vanilla ice cream might be life changing!!! The food menu is managed by Peacemaker and they did not come to disappoint. My favorite was the buffalo cauliflower bites!! And I know a bologna Philly cheesesteak sounds kinda weird, but trust me!!! One of the most creative and delicious things I've had in a while. And the pretzels with fish dip and the nacho cheese are some of the best I've had!!!

Fantastic brewery tucked away in Soulard! 4 hands Brewing Co hands down has the best tasting and unique flavors of beers. There is also a delicious assortment of food to pick from that pairs great with any of the drinks served here. 1220 distillery is also housed here, and they serve delicious cocktails made from the botanical flavored spirits!

Really cool spot with both indoor and outdoor seating area. Friendly staff and they cell cigars! We got a flight and bought a cigar and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside. Flight of 4: Blueberry Prussia - fairly tart but paired very well with the cigar which cut it down. You can definitely get the Blueberry notes and it was pretty good. Cast Iron Brown - I love brown Ales and definitely one of the better ones I've tasted. Kind of toasty, not over powering and easy to drink. Nitro Irish Stout - As a Nitro Stout, you definitely get that creaminess and it is pretty good as well. Not my favorite of the four but all the beers were good here. Absence of Light - I loved this one, the mix of peanut butter, chocolate and caramel are well balanced and it is smooth and delicious. This was probably my favorite one. Great place and a cool vibe. Small parking lot here and some street parking around. They also sell food but we didn't order any. Definitely would come back and try more beers and the food!

Always have a good time at 4 Hands Brewing. I have sat both indoors and outdoors. Like the arcade games at the upstairs bar. Lots of space and long tables to drink with friends. I get the City Wide Pale Ale and Incarnation IPA or try something seasonal. I usually only get beers, but will sometimes split tots with friends and they're good. Bartenders are cool. Would recommend this local spot to others!

Great place to stop for a beer and some snacks, the beer servers know their beer and provide great service and knowledge to those both seasoned and new to local St. Louis craft beer. I love to come on non-peak hours like Sunday and Monday afternoons. Love the original location over any of their expansions, cuz we're city people.

Hands down one of the best breweries in St. Louis. If you are into craft beer you know that maybe some places have a good atmosphere but their beer is average at best. Then there are other places where they brew amazing beer but then place is a hole in the wall and you can't even sit. Well 4 Hands is the best of both worlds, great location with plenty of space and amazing beer. The staff was nothing but friendly and helpful with beer recommendations. Can't wait to be back.
