As soon as my wife saw Prairie Street, she knew immediately this was the venue she wanted. Neither of us is from Rockford and we have no real ties to the area. But Prairie Street Brewing Company is an absolute gem. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Every member of the staff, especially Visouda, was so accommodating and put up with our incessant questions. It was the perfect setting for our wedding; it gave us both a ceremony right by the beautiful river, and then offered the rustic beauty that we were looking for in a venue. Not to mention, it was priced much cheaper than every other venue we considered. And quite frankly, even if it’s not for a wedding or special occasion, everyone should just go there. Incredible atmosphere, fantastic food, terrific vibe throughout the whole place, especially on Thursdays when they have live music on the dock. I wish I lived closer because I would be a regular. Thank you to everyone at Prairie Street for giving us the perfect wedding day!
