ST. LOUIS — Narwhal's Crafted's plan to build an eye-catching location in The Grove appear to be on hold.
The cocktail concept, known for its frozen drinks, said in October 2021 that it would build a new location at 4014 Chouteau Ave., designed to be in the shape of a ship.
“But with the current construction market and interest rates, we thought it prudent to re-open ourselves to other options,” co-owner Brandon Holzhueter said.
Holzhueter said that the company has not completely written off its previously announced plans. However, it's exploring ideas that would make use of the existing building — rather than new construction — and listed the property for sale to “see what happens,” he said.
“Hopefully we’ll be able to settle on a direction soon, and I’ll have more actual news to share,” Holzhueter said.
The Grove property, situated on a triangular plot of land on the eastern edge of the neighborhood, is cornered by Manchester, Chouteau and Vandeventer avenues.
