    My wedding was off the hook. The owner made sure that everything went smooth for us and kept checking on us a couple days before the wedding to make sure everything was going perfect. I was referred from one of my good friends who had their wedding at his other venue the CLYBOURN and my experience was just as great wonderful. If you want a beautiful ceremony and reception in an affordable venue, this is the one.

    We want to pick a better place not only was it the most affordable venue in downtown but the location was right in the past district hotels right there breweries everything that we needed was right out our front door and the space and the owners were incredible. cannot wait to get our pics back from our photographer. They just opened in September but evidently they’re getting very booked and we were lucky enough to get in right away. Obviously nobody really booked the first three months but we have been planning for two years.

  • An amazing venue

    The Barley Room at Pabst was an exceptional choice for our wedding venue. Their communication style was very strong - they answered every call and text we sent, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value was super affordable, costing us a lot less than almost all the downtown venues we had looked at. On the day of our wedding, the staff at The Barley Room went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and our guests were well cared for. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful venue that exceeded our expectations in every way.
