Built in 1916 and operational until 1986, the Steam Plant supplied heat to over 300 customers in the downtown Spokane corridor. The historic building was completely renovated in 1996 (after sitting dormant for ten years), and turned into a one-of-a-kind restaurant and event center! The Steam Plant features a restaurant, bar, and several unique event spaces. This amazing venue can accommodate wedding ceremonies and receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, and bachelor parties. Small private dining rooms including the Pipe Room and Boiler Room can accommodate up to 24 guests for intimate dinner gatherings. The enclosed Rooftop event space features two outdoor patios, skylight views of the Stacks, a bridal ready room, house sound system, and a built in bar. The Rooftop can accommodate seated dinners up to 120 and receptions up to 168. The north patio space can accommodate wedding ceremonies for up to 80 guests. Our Stacks Room (located in the historic Steam Plant), can accommodate a ceremony up to 100 with guests can proceed up to the Rooftop for reception. The newest addition to the Steam Plant, is our Avista Loft. This space, located on the 3rd floor, features floor to ceiling windows showcasing Spokane's skyline. It also has a bird's eye view of the restaurant, a built in bar, a house sound system, and an additional unique bonus room.
