Weddings & Private Events

Congratulations on your upcoming event, and thank you for considering The Barrel!

If you’re looking for a non-traditional event venue, you’ve found it! The Barrel features a Bavarian-style outdoor Beer Garden and a rustic indoor Beer Hall, creating a unique mountain hideaway on Moraine Ave. Enjoy stunning views of Prospect Mountain while staying conveniently close to both RMNP and Downtown Estes Park.

We are, first and foremost, a Craft Beer and Whiskey Garden and Hall, offering a rotating selection of exceptional craft beers and a carefully curated whiskey collection. Guests will also find an impressive array of wines, meads, ciders, specialty cocktails, and several non-alcohol options including craft sodas, kombucha, and organic lemonade — perfect for every taste and occasion.

We can accommodate up to 150 guests in our Beer Garden and 150 guests in our Indoor Beer Hall. Our Private Reserve Area is perfect for more intimate gatherings, hosting anywhere from 20 to 75 guests.

To add some extra fun, we have a pool table and a variety of outdoor games available for your event. (Please note: games must be requested at least four weeks prior to your event.)

At The Barrel, we want to help you host your dream event. Whether you plan to bring your own food, hire a food truck or caterer, book a DJ or band, or create your own Spotify playlist, we’re happy to assist in making your vision a reality. Make yourself at home and enjoy every moment in our mountain hideaway!
