An area once reserved solely for the practical application of aging beers, and on occasion for private beer dinners, we opened up this space for guests to host private events such as ceremonies, receptions, showers & rehearsal dinners. Located within DESTIHL Brewery, the Barrel Room is where you’ll find something unique. Our modern-industrial space is perfect for the craft beer experience, a place where you’ll be greeted with our warm hospitality, and an experience unlike any other in Central Illinois.

“Destihl has always had a special place in my heart, but my husband and I were blown away by how perfect it was for our wedding venue. It was the perfect mix of relaxed/elegant, and we had so much fun. Our reception was in the barrel room, which is beautiful and full of character on its own. We appreciated that the food options were very similar to Destihl's restaurant/brewery menus and made with the same care and attention to detail. As craft beer lovers, we were really excited to have a large selection of Destihl’s own beer for guests, but also wine and spirit options as well. We received compliments all night about how unique and delicious the food and drinks were. By far my favorite part of our wedding at Destihl was the staff. They approached our wedding with so much professionalism and hospitality. Amanda, the event manager, was organized and on top of everything. She was incredibly responsive and even reached out at certain time points to check-in and make sure all my questions were answered. Destihl uses an online portal to track everything, which was extremely helpful during planning with all the wedding logistics and vendors. Everyone was so attentive and helpful, which made for a great experience. I feel very lucky to have had our wedding here.”
