We used this space for our rehearsal dinner and perfect is an understatement. They are so easy to work with and super accommodating. Sara answered all my questions and went above and beyond for us. Could not recommend this place enough!

Lauren and the Avondale Brewing Company team were incredible. My husband and I had planned our wedding originally at an industrial winery in Oregon but because of COVID moved our wedding to Alabama. When we found ABC it was so similar to our original vision and aesthetic we thought it was perfect. Lauren was so accommodating to work with; willing to meet with little notice and very responsive. Less than 30 days out, ABC got their liquor license and we were able to change our contract to a open bar so easily! The space is beautiful, and even though they had a Battle of The Bands the day of our wedding, they paused the event during our ceremony so it felt quiet and intimate. Then during our cocktail hour our guests got free entertainment - it was perfect! We are so lucky we found this venue and would love to use it again for future events.

We held our son’s rehearsal dinner at The Upstairs. Wow, what an awesome venue. Loved all the vintage touches. And Lauren was an absolute sweetheart! She was so helpful and easy to work with. It was the perfect start to a perfect weekend.

We held our rehearsal dinner upstairs at Avondale. Such a beautiful, quirky place to set the tone for the weekend! Loved the view of the city and the fairy lights! Saw's catered, which just rounded out the whole experience.

We used Avondale for our rehearsal dinner and it was an awesome venue. The building is beautiful and the setup is amazing. We loved the look of the globe lights along the ceiling. They are very laid back and easy to work with when it comes to rentals/catering! We used Saw's and Post Office Pies since they are right next door and they do a lot of work with them, so it was smooth process.

although avondale is a bar downstairs, they have a beautiful event space upstairs with a warm "warehouse" feel! Taylor, the event director, was so sweet and helpful throughout our planning and was great to get along with! I'm so glad we chose to have our wedding at Avondale. not to mention the price was GREAT compared to other venues, and they even offer their tables and chairs for your use.

Avondale is a beatutiful historic building and we could not have picked a better place to have our wedding/reception. Taylor Lander helped us cordinate everything to do with Avondale and she is truly amazing to work with. We worked with Taylor so long that we became good friends with her. The staff was wonderful and they accomidated us so well we would recomend them to anyone that wants a beautiful, somewhat stress free, unique wedding or event. Also they have wonderful beer that your guest will love and enjoy. I honestly can not say enough good things about Avondale Brewery, their beer, or Taylor!

I love the exposed brick and dark wood beams in this space. The room is easy to transform into a lovely reception site. We sat about 130 comfortably with room for a buffet, cake table, gift table, band, and dance floor. Its perfect for a rustic chic, natural, or country/southern themed wedding.
