Tami at Tobacco Road Sports Cafe & Brewery was great to work with. We needed to adjust our guest numbers at the last minute and she was on top of it, making sure everything was taken care of. The space was perfect for our wedding, and our guests raved about the delicious food without breaking the bank. They even hired a special carver for our carving station and ordered special liquor just for us. I highly recommend this venue for any event - they really contributed to making our special day perfect.

We had a wonderful dinner party Dec 6, 2024 at the Trophy Brewing Morgan Street location! Planning the event with Brittany made for an excellent night. Her quick responses to my many questions and helpful recommendations ensured our party to go off without a hitch. Trophy is known for their pizza, so we were very impressed with how good the alternative entree's were. The apps and entree's were served hot, on time and plenty and desserts to die for. The two room venue was comfortable for our 50 guests and the attentive, friendly and polite staff went above and beyond serving the drinks, apps and attending to our guests needs. We were also very appreciative of Tabatha and the staffs unexpected help for decorative setup and break down and the slide show setup before and after the event. We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Trophy Brewing & Pizza!
