The Perfect Venue
“Who knew a brewery could be so elegant? Avondale features an event space nestled above the bustling brewery exclusively for events like weddings and rehearsal dinners. Exposed brick, stately beams, strung lights and plenty of natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows provides a rustic yet sophisticated feel, whatever your rehearsal dinner style may be. Plus, don’t miss out on the delicious craft beer (and cocktails) available.” - inevents.com
