Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This working distillery marries moody industrial style with deep historic roots, housed in Illinois’ oldest standing brewery. Intimate events might be held in the Distiller’s Hall, which overlooks the production distillery (very cool for a peek at the process!) and is fully equipped with a dramatic limestone bar.
- Light floods through the original skylight in Cooper’s Hall, a stunning space formerly used for barrel-making. Outfitted with an open-beamed barrel ceiling, polished concrete floors, exposed brick walls, and an adjacent patio allows the party to flow easily in and out, it’s got a warm, industrial feel and plenty of flexibility.
- Turn-key packages and expert planning services help the process go down as smoothly as their in-house bourbon. Speaking of bourbon—you’ll certainly want to take advantage of their phenomenal bartenders, who will craft signature cocktails that showcase the spirits made just steps away.
