Pinellas Ale Works is a craft brewery and event space hosting wedding rehearsal dinners in Saint Petersburg, FL. Owned and operated by Dennis Decker, who also acts as head brewer, this venue offers an off-beat and contemporary location for fashionable newlyweds-to-be. Couples who choose to celebrate their nuptials here will be met with an award-winning selection of home-crafted beers and a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.
The building was formerly an auto body repair shop known as Harold’s Auto Body. In 2014, extensive renovations began to convert the shop into the brewery and distillery as it stands today. The bar opened in 2016 and has been serving a range of over 30 craft beers ever since, including one named after their building’s original namesake. This bar’s talented team constantly seeks to exceed their own expectations of beer and offer a selection of favorites and new recipes. Guests might get to try a Russian Imperial Stout, inspired by the first train in the county in 1888. Alternatively, they may prefer the Piddle Pils, their take on the classic Pilsner. Pinellas Ale Works boasts a stylish industrial-inspired decor, with long wooden benches, exposed piping, and murals painted across the walls. The site also offers a spacious beer garden illuminated with fairy lights and dog-friendly for animal lovers. This area is ideal for funky cuisine options such as food trucks, while traditional celebration features such as dance floors can also be added.
In addition to rehearsal dinners, Pinellas Ale Works can accommodate engagement parties, wedding showers, receptions, and after-parties. Dedicated staff, including coordinator Michelle Appleyard, will be on hand to assist throughout the event. She will be available to help with the planning journey and ensure the details are handled. While the event space may be rented without a bar package, Pinellas Ale Works can facilitate individual and group tabs and open bars. Guests can enjoy an outstanding range of beers and a selection of wines and ciders. Staff are happy for couples to bring their caterers on-site, whether traditional plated meals, buffets, or food trucks. Pinellas Ale Works is wheelchair accessible.
