    Best Rehearsal Dinner Ever!

    The Taproom at Front Street Brewery was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. Their communication was efficient, and the quality of their work was superb. The space was beautiful, spacious, and had a lovely rustic feel that was perfect for our vision. Nicole, the event coordinator, was amazing - she made sure everything we wanted was ready and available the day of the rehearsal dinner. I would recommend the Front Street Brewery in a heartbeat!

    So spacious, uniquely beautiful

    We loved our experience of hosting our rehearsal dinner at Front Street Brewery! It was SO nice to have our own private space! So spacious, uniquely beautiful, and just overall such an enjoyable and seamless experience. Everyone loved the food and drinks—especially the mac & cheese! Nicole and her team were so responsive and helpful. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to host an event, you won't be disappointed!
