Penn Brewery

A Penn Brewery buyout includes all banquet areas including main Bierhalle, Ratskeller, Eisenhalle, and outdoor Biergarten and Terrace areas. Enjoy views of the brewhouse, the city skyline, authentic cobblestone Biergarten, and 19th-century lagering caves.

Designed in the style of an industrial loft, the Eisenhalle, or “Iron Hall,” is equipped to host buffet-style meals for larger parties and business meetings of up to 120 seated guests. However, it can accommodate more guests for cocktail parties and other “stand-up” events and features its own private bar. Eisenhalle is on the second floor of the building, a bit away from the brewpub itself, and thus offers a quieter, more private atmosphere for your event.

The Ratskeller is a cozy space decorated with rich dark wood paneling, colorful stained-glass windows, and a direct view of our large beer tanks in the Lager Keller. The Ratskeller seats up to 50 guests and includes its own private bar.

This unique outdoor space boasts a quaint European feel, with its cobblestone courtyard, wrought iron gates, and greenery in summer. Perhaps the most unique architectural feature of this space is the stone caves and tunnels which were constructed to chill, or “lager,” barrels of beer in the days before refrigeration became commonplace. Penn is one of just a handful of remaining US breweries that still has lagering caves.

Most Penn guests best recognize the Terrace as the site for our annual Oktoberfest celebration. You can book the Terrace for your own private event as well. The Terrace offers spectacular views of our city with this tented space for up to 100 seated guests, or more for a stand-up reception or party. German bierhalle style tables and benches are available. A 20 x 30 foot tent covers this space and is included in the price.
