The Distillery Bar Room
A private bar with an optional open-air seating set the tone for an elevated event in our Distillery Bar
The distillery bar room is a swanky spot to host larger events. In the summer months, the garage doors can be opened up for the best of both worlds of an indoor/outdoor event.
The space offers casual or formal seating options, and a stunning mable bar. Curtains may be drawn to section the space off from the main restaurant, ensuring privacy & intimacy for your event. Inquire to learn more about hosting your event in the Distillery Bar Room Event at Batson River.
