The triller snow cone inspired seltzer and the cherry limeade canned cocktail are 2 of my absolute favorites right now. I have celiac disease so can't drink the beer but always back for the awesome vibe and free arcade games. read more

4 Hands Brewing - Thriller seltzer - Breweries Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Best brewery in STL! They have a free arcade inside, great beer, and a solid interior food truck like experience. Food used to be better when it was from Rooster - now it is worse. Still 5 star spot. read more

Hipster brewery in downtown St Louis. If you like IPAs and similar beers, then you will probably like this place more than me. I do brown ales, stouts, lagers, etc. They had a couple of pils and lagers that were okay. Most everything else ran bitter for me. Service on the first floor almost made us leave. A blond woman bartender on the first floor was a complete jerk (would prefer to use other terms, but I want to keep this PG-13). She was also horrible to other members of our party. The staff upstairs, however, were proper staff and helped us with our questions about their selections. The food was very disappointing. The method of purchasing food is through the website. No cash allowed. About half of the selections were out of stock. If you like mustard, then the pretzel dips are good. If you do not like mustard, then you will not. The Buffalo wings I had were okay. Not bad, but nothing special. Due to the beer selection and food, I will not be back unless someone I know really, really wants to come here. And if that particular bartender is on duty, I will not spend my money here. read more

it was our first time visiting St Louis and we love going to breweries. we saw that this place was close so we went in. nobody welcomed us in which is ok, however when we did figure out we had to order at the bar we did so. my husband wanted a Level 2 beer (we don't know what that is) so when he ordered he was told that's only on the second floor......which is closed. ok great so what do you recommend from this floor? the response was i don't know what you like. We chugged the cider I had ordered, left, and will NEVER go back. also you have to order food from a separate window and the menu is written in chalk on a board. also totally ok but maybe explain that or actually talk to customers who walk in who are new. read more

Super fun place at 4 Hands! It's self service so order at the bars. There's a downstairs bar and an upstairs bar. They have different drinks depending on if you're upstairs or downstairs. I really enjoyed upstairs because its so much bigger and roomier. But especially because there's arcade games like skeeball for free! But I can't forget about their beer. I don't even like stout beers but I gave it a chance. It was amazing! There are three different kinds - Chocolate Milk, Peanut Butter Chocolate Milk or Peanut Butter + Jelly Chocolate Milk. Just give it a shot. If you don't like it though, there are other fruiter and lighter options. Check this place out! read more

We popped in here for a food truck day, and grabbed some beers to accompany our sandwiches. As always, great beers, great service, great atmosphere. They definitely have some of the best beer in St. Louis with an option for everyone. If it's not on tap, you can grab it in a can! Highly recommend for a drink with friends. read more

Great service, lots of seating choices both outside and inside and then downstairs and upstairs. The best part is that they have skee ball and old school video games all of free. I love skee ball so much but didn't always get to play as much because you have to keep paying. Womp. This really made me super happy. I also got to play Ms Pac Man which I'm also obsessed with but didn't play a lot of because we didn't have a lot of money growing up so I only got one chance each week. Playing Super Mario Bros brought back so many good childhood memories. Not to mention they were playing the Cardinals game too. Overall a super happy day at a great place. Only thing missing is to try the food next time. read more

Fun place to eat and have a beer. I went with my fellow helpers as we enjoyed the upstairs where there is a very large area to eat, drink and play arcade games. The waiters and waitresses were very conscientious and timely. We had tasty pretzels for appetizers and could order food downstairs if we liked. I had the 4 hands vigilante beer very light and tasty. The location was well lite and just enough parking. We had a very good crowd. read more

4 Hands Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This place is okay. Most of the beers I had stuck out to me. We went on a Saturday and we thought they had food trucks out front. Getting closer, we noticed that these trucks that lined the street were fashion trucks! We parked in a lot across the street. I did notice glass in part of the lot so watch for that when you go. The layout reminded me of Rhinegeist in Cincinnati. It is smaller than Rhinegeist but it's the same type of concept. Downstairs you have the taproom while upstairs you have a large area for eating, watching sports, playing arcade games, and socializing. It would be easy to hang out here any night of the week. They don't serve flights but you can do samples. What I don't understand is that it's three bucks for a 5oz pour. It's only two-three more dollars for 16oz. What if I don't want to drink a pint? Maybe I want to try a lot of your beer to see which one I like the best before drinking too much. The beer I tried below. -- Peacemaker - 5% - Witbier - Light. Smooth. Spicy. Sweet. I liked it but I don't remember it. -- Story of the Beer - 5.5% Kolsch - I was meh about this beer but I don't think I've had a better Kolsch. Disclaimer: I'm not a huge Kolsch fan so calling this one the best I've had is a good thing. -- Divided Sky Rye IPA - 6.5% - Extremely hoppy. Smooth. Spicy. Light. Dry. I liked this IPA but the hops are strong in this one. If you don't like bitter beers and hops, you won't like this at all. -- Chocolate Milk Stout - 5.5% - Sweet. Milk. Smooth. Creamy. One of the best I've had. I liked this milk stout a lot. I normally order Milk stouts when I see them. This one didn't disappoint and it was definitely a favorite on this visit. The creamy/chocolate/sweet was the perfect amount. There wasn't an issue on our visit but I think the Gravely(for you Louisville folks) condition is starting to set in. 4 Hands seemed to be lacking something and I'm not sure what that is. Next time I'm in St. Louis, I'll definitely go back to try more beer but I'm not sure if I'd go out of my way for it. read more

We were just here with a large group on Sunday afternoon. I had never been here before and my boyfriend drove so when he started weaving between the older factory buildings and stuff, I was pretty sure he'd finally had enough of me and was taking me somewhere remote to kill me. But the street that the brewery was on actually turned out to be kind of pretty, parking was easy enough to find, and my boyfriend decided that a Sunday afternoon wasn't the right time to throw me in the river. Everyone wins. It was really quiet downstairs and had a good crowd upstairs but it wasn't uncomfortably packed. I know less than absolutely nothing about beer so I picked whatever had the highest alcohol content on the menu, which turned out to be the Warhammer. Again, I have no context for beer because I'm refined and I drink boxed wine and supermarket whiskey like God intended but the Warhammer was actually really good. I found out they had homemade gin and vodka, which is more my speed. I asked the bartender if I could try some of the gin or if I just had to order a drink and he brought me an entire low glass of gin with some ice for $8. My social anxiety prevents me from telling people when they might have made a mistake so I just took the gin. It was really good and for $8, I definitely got the value. The bartender was super nice and didn't treat me like an idiot when I tried to order food at the bar, even though the menu clearly says to order the food downstairs. The only reason I gave the place 4 stars instead of 5 is because it can get pretty inconvenient to go up and down the stairs for the food, especially if you've got the alcohol tolerance of a high school freshman at their first bonfire. Like me. The food was great, though. I got the pretzels with blue crab dip and it was just filling enough, not too much for a portion, although I did the extra pretzel for $2 because I've got no self control and I'd sell my grandma for a good soft pretzel. We'll definitely be back for the summer. read more

The beer at this place is great. They always have great variations of their Madagascar Barrel Aged Stout and I woulda s hugest to start there. If you have lighter tastes they also have the o so popular City Wide. The food is fantastic and I would suggest the pretzel and beer cheese. Order 2 pretzels lol. On the venue - downstairs is quaint but UPSTAIRS is where the place is really awesome. Huge spot with lots of seating and family friendly. Had ski-ball and arcade games. Lots of communal seating that accommodates large groups. I would suggest this place to anyone that lives in St. Louis or that is just visiting. Awesome experience read more

I wasn't really there for the beer but it was hard to avoid. I was there for a game night. They had a lot of brews on tap so I knew it could be a long night. One very pleasant surprise was that they also had wine. My spouse is not a beer drinker. So I grabbed a beer and wine and a game and sat down to play. We were upstairs which was a very large area. There were plenty of tables around. During the night we ordered some tacos which were OK. They are a beer place first and foremost. The entire place was very clean even though I think every table in the joint was taken. I was looking for a trash can to toss some napkins in and before I knew it there was a staff person there to take it. Apparently they keep an eye on loose trash and empty plates. Didn't see much if any of them throughout the night. The servers were all very nice to interact with. They would spend as much as time as YOU wanted talking about their beers. There was a lot of pride not only in the beers but in the facility as well. About the biggest complaint was the looping music they had going upstairs. They need to find some better background music rather than the same thump thump thump of whatever it was. We will be back for another game night. And a few more beers! read more

4 Hands Brewing Company is another brewery I've been wanting to visit since my move to Missouri a year ago. I tried their Divided Sky IPA back then and I frequently buy it since it's that good. I took advantage I was going to a St Louis Cardinals game since their location is really close to Busch Stadium. They have a large room upstairs with some arcades and TVs. Family friendly with a friendly staff. Keep up the good work and cheers!! Instagram: @SaluteToBrews Facebook: Salute To Brews read more

This place was the chillest vibe I've ever been in. Jenny was amazing! She told my friend and I about the brewery she believed in for her city and all the things it's done for her city. I believe she gave me a great true character of what 4 hands is all about! 4 hands has great business, great food and drinks! The music is also a great addition! Will definitely be coming back again! read more

Such a cute little brewery! There is nothing better than a local brewery and this one did not disappoint. The building is well kept, clear instructions about how to order, where to sit, etc. Husband ordered the cast iron, which he really liked, me the full life lager. We also got whitefish dip with a pretzel and it was bomb. We also ordered the Moscow mule smoother and that was also bomb! There were lots of guests from the baseball game and people of all kinds, older and young. Good times! read more

I come here all the time! I've been coming here for a few years and I am never disappointed. They have a variety of beers and something for everyone. Also, their staff is super friendly. In addition, the staff is knowledgeable about the beer selection. They have a fun upstairs seating, with a few games like pin ball and ski ball. They have in the past few months opened up an outdoor seating area with lots of chairs and some fire pits. This is a great spot to come on any night to get some good beer and some food!! Also the perfect place to go before a cardinals game! read more

I love the beer here, it is one of my favorite brewery's in STL. The service here was great, but I did not love the food. I was a little disappointed that the pecan pie brown was tapped out by the time we got there, would love to try that sometime. I had the Chocolate Milk Stout, which is my go to 4 hands beer. Can't say anything bad about the beer, love it everytime. My only real dislike of the place was the food. there was not much variety. I ordered the brisket nachos and they were not as good as I was hoping. They were potato chips, but the toppings were lacking and they had very little brisket on them. My husband got the Brisket Poy and said it was good, but not a lot of food. As for the space. the downstairs is small but quant and the upstairs is much bigger but also louder. there were free video games up here, unfortunately kids were on them most of the night. I would def come again for the beer, but will get food elsewhere next time. read more

Decent beer classic Midwest staple i hot some beer here during Covid they were nice to me

Loved going here pre-COVID to dine in & taste beers, but they have adapted and still allow carry-out for their beers/alcohol. The process is super easy & virtually contactless. Can't wait for things to open up again! Especially my favorite local brewery! read more

One of my go-to breweries in St. Louis. From the work horse City Wide to experimental IPA's, the brewers at 4 Hands aren't afraid to take risks in order to serve up frothy craft brews. read more

4 Hands is my favorite brewery in St. Louis. They come out with new beers that are consistently tasty. My favorite is the Absence of Light with is a peanut butter chocolate milk stout. They also come out with a Chocolate Milk Stout Variety Pack every winter and each year they are delicious. I'm also very into their Contact High Seltzers, my go to is the pineapple. read more

4 star beer. 3 star food. Unfortunately what you've come to expect for a brewery. Excellent beer. Ok food... Absence of light chocolate peanut butter stout. Probably the first chocolate flavored beer that tasted like chocolate (and peanut butter)and worked! I skipped the others and had a second. The food was limited. General pub menu, however they tried. I had a Roast pork with Gouda and stone ground mustard on pretzel roll. It all worked together. It was above average, but I wouldn't rush back. German potato salad was on the side. Not sure if it was supposed to be hot or cold. It was warmish. There was next to no flavor. Only a hint of vinegar. No onions. No bacon. Potatoes.... Milk stout roasted peanuts tasted exactly like dry roasted peanuts. Meh. Food. Great beer. read more

Favorite Saint Louis Brewery alert! 4 Hands truly captures the essence of quality craft beer in our city. I love them not only because they brew phenomenal beer, but because of their philanthropic endeavors in Saint Louis. Their beers City Wide and City Wide Pils, for example, give back to the community with every beer sold. The brewery downtown is an awesome place to hang out, especially in groups. They have a downstairs that's pretty low key, and the upstairs has games, events, and projector televisions. They have options for everyone--whether you're new to craft beer or enjoy more complex styles, 4 Hands has you covered. Also, everybody loves a deal! Get your crowlers filled Monday for a dollar off, your growlers filled on Thursdays for $10/$15 depending on the beer, and enjoy $1 off draft prices on Fridays. read more

4 Hands Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

On a recent visit to STL, I found out about the many new microbreweries popping up around the city. That was a great surprise. While I had to bring my 21-year old niece to Budweiser (as a rite of passage), we then had to find the next stop for really good craft beer that afternoon. As it was the closest spot to the brewery, we took a jaunt to 4 Hands! I was really impressed with the nicely restored warehouse-look, and with the sign titled "commitment to sustainability". The brews on the blackboard all looked interesting, so I tried a sampler platter. Yum! We dined on some nachos and a veggie pizza, and they were quite large while very high quality. Splitting those two items actually filled up the three of us. In the end of the night, I had a nice conversation with one of the co-owners who told me about the history and business they're building. Very impressive. I hope to return again on one of my next visits to STL! read more

Excellent service and beer. Wonderful little hole in the wall that is actually pretty big! Downstairs is a little more cozy with a place to grab some food. Upstairs is bigger, wide open space with a row of video games (fun) and lots of space for large parties. Upstairs and down you can grab a drink. "First impression" was my favorite drink. Can't buy it any where so drink up while your there. The "Ripple" was pretty fantastic too. We'll be back! read more

Slightly off the beaten track, this brewery is definitely worth the detour! It's a larger warehouse set-up with both indoor and outdoor seating as well as plenty of parking; all must have logistics characteristics! The beer is totally legit and available throughout the city. But getting it right from the source is great. There are plenty of taps along the wall, and plenty of seating right up at the bar as well as low top community tables and high tops. My favorite part was the decorations on the wall - they were makeshift big game skeleton heads fashioned from bike seats and handle bars. Such a cool touch. Of course I'm indecisive, so I had to try the sampler. And with 4 beers for the price of one pint? It's a no brainer :) I was not disappointed. At all. In addition, the staff was really friendly and helpful. They explained all the variety of beers to me - not just IPAs, but much more. Really enjoyed the entire experience: drink local! read more

I really do love to come here to drink in the middle of the afternoon on the weekend. If you can't decide what to drink (or if it is your first time here, you can order a flight of beers). There is a small restaurant inside the bar that serves some high-end bar food. During the summer, make sure to take advantage of the outdoor seating. There are about 4 tables outside. There is also a bike rack in front. There is plenty of seating at the bar, a huge communal table (don't be afraid to ask someone to move over to squeeze in), and several stand-alone tables in the space. There is additional seating to the right of the front door. The list of featured beers is on the wall directly above the taps. There is a fridge for buying beer to go and a wall of branded merchandise (shirts, hats, hoodies, stickers). You can also buy a growler or bring your own to be filled with a beer of your choice and take home. Don't forget to look for their holiday packs that come with a mason jar. During the summer, I attended several pop-up events behind the brewery at their "container bar". This is literally a shipping container turned into a bar. There was a wrestling match once, a pop-up chicken restaurant, brats, and even a movie projected onto a blow up screen. There is also an all-you-can-drink beer festival each year (Lupulin) featuring beers from many different breweries, a Ferris Wheel, carnival acts, and games- get tickets early since it always sells out! read more

I enjoy this brewery a lot and I don't even like beer. Right now they have various flavors of hard seltzers that are better than all the commercial seltzers out there. Great indoor and outdoor spaces; 2 floors insight and the brewery shows some awesome support of mental healthcare! read more

Firstly, I love that this place has its own parking lot. I had never been and was nervous the entire drive downtown anticipating the parking situation, so that was a pleasant surprise! The building is huge and I love the way they designed the place. Lots and lots of brick and wood elements but with pops of red from the modern chairs. I headed upstairs to meet my people and saw the entire back wall was filled with arcade games, which we later find out are 100% free! Skee ball, Galaga, Super Mario, and more - all at no cost while you enjoy their beer menu. I had a Zellige, their Moroccan coffee stout, and it was de-lish. We didn't get food but I did glance through that menu and it was tempting as well. Service was quick and friendly, bathrooms were modern and clean, and I overall really enjoyed the space and the beer. Would definitely come back! read more

I sampled a variety of their beers. Can't say I wouldn't drink any of them again. The Cast Iron Oatmeal Brown was my favorite. Should absolutely be on your brewery tour list if visiting St. Louis! read more

I love 4 Hands brewing and beers! I have always loved the City Wide Beer and it screams STL just look at the can! Tonight I met some friends for drinks! The brewery has a private lot, plenty of street parking and is close enough to downtown that you can bar hop to several other local places with a bit of a walk or a short Uber! Once inside you pretty much have a brewery, beer hall, and restaurant all in the same place. They have a great decorator because it looks amazing inside with the lights and how it was designed. They have a great upstairs area where you can most likely rent out for parties and other events, and they have games upstairs as well like ski ball! The beer is amazing! You can get a ton of there beers here and you can sample ones to figure out which ones you really like before ordering! I highly recommend the City Wide IPA if you have not had it! Very good taste with a ton of flavor! I really recommend this place and think you should all check it out! read more

4 Hands Brewing - City Wide Halloween Image - Breweries Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Food was ok but enjoyed the drinks and overall vibe! Great place to relax and spend time with friends.

The beer was great. We enjoyed the seasonal absence of light pb&j! But the food... not so great. We ordered the pretzels for our son and they seemed microwaved like the ones you can buy at aldi. The pork shoulder Sammy was doused in so much mustard it was disgusting and the meat was super fatty. The brisket poorboy was decent (def the best thing we ordered). Then we also had the peel and eat shrimp, they lacked seasoning and the cocktail sauce was pretty gross. Would go back for beer, but not to eat. read more

A year to the day of my first review, and I went back - this place is over 1,000 miles from where I live (or have ever lived) and I've been here twice. And bought a shirt. They're that good. The four main brews they do are all awesome. Each is better than the last, culminating in the Divided Sky IPA, one of the best I've ever had. It's got enough hop kick to smell like pine, but is well-balanced and not a slap in the mouth like other IPAs (looking at you, Stone). The seasonal stuff is a little all over the place, but they're well-crafted. Good beers are part of it, but the layout of this place is awesome too. The main table is the former warehouse door which I now need to find a replica of for my wife. The bar is lined with boards from an old barn. They have Dyson Airblades in the bathroom! And the giant glass wall where you can watch dudes with beards make beer. Had the same bartender both times - apparently one of the original employees - and he's a cool dude. Actually opened the place early the day we showed up for the Cardinals game. read more

4 Hands Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

My friend and I left a disappointing experience at Four Strings for a clunky one at Four Hands. I had my StlGram passport book. There was an offer for a free beer, bur I'm not a beer person, so I brought a friend. The offer says free game day City Wide beer. I googled it and they don't have a beer called Game Day, so I figured they meant sports, and this time of year specifically Cardinals, game. I checked the Cardinals schedule and it said they were playing in Cincinnati. The offer said nothing about it being good for a HOME game and I have seen people watching games in bars in the past, so I assumed any game day. Apparently that is not right. I use "apparently" differently than I usually do because I don't have a 100% straight answer on this... We parked (in their lot, which probably fills up on busy days, but which had space yesterday) and went inside. Four Hands has 2 floors. The passport said to get the drink in the taproom. Approached the first floor bar and found out that that is the taproom. My friend needed food first thing and was directed to a side window where food orders are taken. You can't order food upstairs where you will probably be eating it. You order it at the window, get a buzzer, go upstairs, find a table, and come back downstairs for your food when the buzzer goes off. Does anyone remember the old Steak n Shake workaurant commercials? I understand that it's a bar with food and not a restaurant, but it did take a few minutes out of our together time. The pickins were slim, especially for vegetarians. She made the decision and I didn't review the menu, but a Companion pretzel stick and cheese was about it. Yes, one pretzel with delicious rarebit for $9. Then I'm ordering that drink for my friend. The male bartender gets busy with something else and a female bartender comes by and looks at my passport. She says, "Just so you know, this is for game days only." She starts to get the drink. She's saying it so the other bartender can hear it and respond. He says, "I know, but they came down here, so I was going to give it to them," or something like that. I said, "It is a game day." She says, ""Is it? Is it a game day?" rhetorically, like the lack of Cardinals ballcaps so close to downtown means that it is surely not a game day. I said that they were away but playing. She didn't say anything else. Maybe she knows things about sports terminology that I don't. Maybe she was JV or Varsity or something. Maybe they use their own language in the Soulard area. I don't know. It is my understanding that it's a game day whenever the team plays. If you want to give out those promotional drinks only on days when 4 Hands is full of Cardinals folks, be more concise in your wording. And if you were going to give me the drink anyway, why criticize my patronizing your establishment? We were encouraged to head upstairs after ordering because there is more space there. It is a good space. Cool looking in every way. Exposed brick, neat lights. There are 2 skeeball machines. Food was ready soon enough. It was really good, but surprisingly light. There was leftover rarebit at the end, but by then we were on our own upstairs and couldn't easily order another pretzel. When we realized how light the pretzel was, we moved on the Planters House. I won't go back to Four Hands unless someone else picks it and I can't talk 'em into Schafly, Charleville, Urban Chestnut, Augusta Brew Haus (the fave) or even Square One. It's just too clunky of an experience for someone who isn't going to hang out with a bunch of friends for a few hours. read more

4 Hands Brewing - Madagascar Columbia - Breweries Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Out of a few great breweries in the St. Louis area, 4 Hands definitely boasts the largest most spacious tap room. With two floors of bars, TVs, arcade games and seating, there's tons of space and activities for everyone. 4 Hands also has a nice shopping area with hats, t shorts, glassware and the like. Not being from the area, my main experience with 4 Hands had been "Madagascar" and it's different variants; however, getting the chance to visit their taproom gave me an insight into some of their other beers, including "Father Time" barleywine which was awesome. Prices are great, taproom is cool, beers are above average and even the food was good! Thumbs up! read more
