if you are looking for a urban spot with cool vibes and great staff this is your place! Payton was amazing to work with and answered all of our questions and her staff was great the day of the wedding by assisting and setting up our desserts and room flip. The taco bar was a hit and everyone couldn’t stop talking about the beer cheese. The drinks were also a hit and people loved our selection and couldn’t believe the variety of drinks. We are so happy we had our wedding ceremony and reception here and highly reccomend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue. We also had our rehearsal dinner here the night before and again such a great experience.

Thank you, Robin! It was great to get to know you and Derek along the way and your wedding day was fabulous! Cheers to the two of you!
The venue itself was perfect - casual, a simple wood & brick aesthetic, and it has character so you don't have to bring major decorations to transform the space. It has so much personality as is! We had about 90 people at our wedding and the size of the rooms during the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance felt perfect. I love how our pictures turned out, and our day was amazing! If it's nice day, there's so many awesome spots for pictures outside along the various murals & brick walls. Awesome space for a dance floor & great acoustics during the ceremony.
A few notes for future couples...
- In my opinion a day of coordinator is a must if you are booking here. You need someone aside from UG staff to keep things moving.
- The UG team wasn't always timely with email responses. In the weeks/days leading up to the wedding, we had to double email multiple times to nail down our food & beer selections for the day.
- We went with buffet style mac and cheese, taco bar, and salad for our main entrees. The food was okay! The quality of normal UG food (which is AMAZING) didn't quite hold up in the buffet. In their defense, I think that's normal for buffets. We had to remind them to bring our salad dressing, and the toppings listed for the mac & cheese bar weren't all available during our wedding. They put out coffee with the dessert, but no one saw it because it was back by the beer taps.
- It feels like Urban Growler is going through a lot of staff changes right now. We had some undercooked chicken at our tasting event which I believe led to a chef being fired/a new one being hired & a new events coordinator came in about 6 months ago. Overall, we didn't feel super supported in the planning process. The UG team hopped on the phone for us, but I'm glad we came with a list of questions, as it felt like we had to drive the planning forward on most of the day of logistics.
- There's not a spot to get ready here - so plan to show up fully ready to go!
I wouldn't change our day for a thing, and I would recommend this venue, just be ready to be a more hands on bride or groom when working with UG!

Thank you for your review Kaia! I will note all of your comments and concerns to make sure our team can grow from them. Thank you again for choosing Urban Growler as your wedding venue!
We did our rehearsal dinner in the hayloft room and it was perfect! We appreciated having private space to socialize with our guests and work out final wedding details with the bridal party. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed. The food is excellent and the variety of drinks was great! The staff at the event were very helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. Payton is amazing! She helped us review all the details and offered insight into food/brew pairing for the best variety for our guests. She made planning the event so easy and it was perfect. I can’t say enough good things about Urban Growler and highly recommend for your event. I’ve already been raving about it to our friends and families.

Any questions?
Venue/brewery is beautiful, staff was professional and extremely helpful (Payton was incredible and made the day flawless), and the food was outstanding! We had the mac & cheese bar along with chicken wings, highly recommend!!!

Thank you, Lexy!! It was great to work with you and your family. Your wedding was a blast and all of your guests were great to serve. Cheers to you and James!!
We had our son’s rehearsal dinner at Urban Growler. I worked with Payton and her attention to detail was remarkable. She answered every question thoroughly. Everything was absolutely perfect and I would not change a thing if I had to do it all over again. We really appreciated all of the hard work that Kaylee, Claire and Riley did to make our evening perfect. Many of the guests commented on how knowledgeable and friendly they were, I appreciated that nobody had to wait in line to get a drink. I highly recommend!

Thank you, Vicki! It was so great to work with you and get to know your family. Cheers to the new addition to your family and congrats again!
We loved our wedding at the Urban Growler. Setting was intimate and rustic, and guests could mingle outside between the ceremony and reception. Staff was accommodating, but also laid back, which I loved. My guests commented on how thoughtful and inclusive the night was: great beer and mock tails, gender neutral bathrooms, free parking. It was lovely.

Thanks, Megan! We truly enjoyed hosting your friends and family for your celebration. Wishing you all the best. Cheers to you and Rudy!!
We had our Wedding Rehearsal Dinner at Urban Growler Brewing and it was absolutely perfect. Payton was so wonderful to work with, great communication, she made everything super easy to plan and coordinate. We had our private event in the Barrel Room and it was exactly what we wanted. The staff was so nice and very professional!The food and drinks were incredible, they had so many options to choose from. Highly recommend having a large group event there!

Thank you, Bonnie!! It was such a pleasure to get to know you and your family along the way. Cheers to you and Adam!
We LOVED our wedding at Urban Growler! The event space is beautiful, with plenty of space for dinner and dancing, high top tables for chatting away from the music, and a private bar for your event. Plus, with the included help of the event coordinators, planning and organizing our wedding was painless and fun! On the day of, UG staff was dedicated to making sure our wedding timeline was executed perfectly and worked with all our vendors to get flowers, decorations, DJ, and dessert all set up and taken down. Amazing value for money, getting married at the Urban Growler is a no brainer!!

Thanks, Lienne! It was great to work with you. Cheers to you and George!
Urban Growler absolutely saved the day when my original venue canceled on me 2 months before my wedding!
They swooped in and created the most perfect reception space with not a lot of time. Everything was perfect and the tacos were exceptional. Even the chips were the best I’d ever had!
They were wonderful and I would recommend them to absolutely anyone!! 10000/100⭐️⭐️

Thanks, Logan!!!! It was so great to host you, Sean, and your wonderful guests. Cheers to a wonderful marriage!
My partner and I held our wedding reception in the barrel room at the Urban Growler and we also catered through them. The venue was gorgeous, the staff at the event were amazing, and the food and beer was great! Their event manager Payton was amazing to work with and was super accommodating. Our wedding went smoothly and everyone had a blast. I can’t recommend UG enough!!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/23/2023
Thanks, Elise! We loved hosting and all of your guests were so sweet. Cheers to a wonderful life together!
We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Urban Growler and it was perfect! Payton was super easy to work with, the food was amazing, and of course the drinks were on point! You have a lot of options in regards to food and drink and everything is reasonably priced for the quality. We highly recommend their event team for gatherings and are very pleased with how it turned out

Thanks so much, Heather! We loved hosting for you and Luke, all of your family and friends were so sweet! Wishing the two of you all the best, cheers!!
Working with Payton at Urban Growler was by far the easiest part of wedding planning! I can’t speak highly enough of her and the staff at UG. Payton answered all of my questions from day one and was a great sounding board when I needed help making a decision. Our actual wedding day was so smooth. The team at UG did a great job of making sure everything went according to plan - if something didn’t, I had no idea! If I could plan my wedding all over again I would still choose UG because of the great experience we had!

Thank you so much, Macey! It was so fun getting to know you and Mike and we wish you all the best! Congrats!!!
We loved our wedding reception at Urban Growler! Payton was easy to work with through the entire process! We loved her great recommendations for decorating the space, their taste testing events, and her frequent communication to make the wedding planning process very smooth! The only kink in our event was our food did not taste the same as what we had tasted at the tasting event - however, we got great reviews from our guests and we were the only ones aware of it! Overall, Urban Growler made it right and would highly highly recommend their event space and team!
Response from the Vendor on 11/18/2022
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. We loved hosting your reception and thank you for your patience and grace with the catering. Wishing you all the best!
Loved, loved, loved getting married here! Payton was AMAZING and helped us with every step of the wedding process. It was a beautiful space and fun to work with! Loved it!

Thanks, Jaci! We loved hosting you and Colton and all of your guests. You decorated the space so well and your day was beautiful! Cheers to a wonderful marriage!
My husband Sam and I hosted our wedding reception at Urban Growler and we absolutely LOVED it!! Payton, the event organizer was SO easy to work with and made everything so smooth leading up to and the day of the reception. We had a little over 100 people and it was a perfect space for our laid back (post-elopement) wedding reception. The food was fantastic and the beer was amazing - the fact that we were able to have 6 different taps was great. They also offered hard seltzers and seltzer cocktails that we put on 2 of the taps - they were a huge hit! Overall, we had such a fun time and we were very happy to support our favorite brewery in the Twin Cities :) I would book this venue again in a heartbeat!
Response from the Vendor on 07/19/2022
Thanks Casey and Sam!!! Your event was such a joy to be a part of! All of your family and friends were delightful. Cheers to a wonderful marriage!
Payton, the event coordinator was fabulous - very helpful and all communication was clear and prompt. We held a rehearsal dinner for 80 people in the Barrel Room and everything worked out perfectly. The room looked great and the staff at the event was very helpful. Would definitely recommend Urban Growler and would go there again.
Response from the Vendor on 06/21/2022
Thank you, Dianne! Everything was fabulous! Congratulations on your son's marriage!
We had the absolute best experience working with Payton at Urban Growler! We had been looking around St. Paul for a rehearsal dinner venue and they did not disappoint! The Hayloft room was perfect - we had our own private room that looked out to the brewery and outside as well as a separate room for guests to get their food and drinks on tap without having to go down to the taproom (and private bathroom)! They were so accommodating and easy to work with and the food was delicious! Our guests throughly enjoyed it and we would highly recommend them to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 06/21/2022
Thanks, Melissa! Our team loved serving you and Ben and your guests. Everyone was so sweet and gracious. Cheers!
My husband Evan and I had our wedding reception at the Barrel Room at Urban Growler Brewing Co. and we had a wonderful time. Payton was so easy to work with and great at responding quickly to questions. Planning our event was effortless. We had a live band and the space accommodated our group so well . All of the staff working our event were lovely to work with and we would definitely recommend this event space to others looking to host an event/party!
Response from the Vendor on 06/14/2022
Thanks Madison and Evan! Such a FUN wedding reception, cheers!
We rented the hayloft at Urban Growler for our rehearsal dinner and it was awesome! We had about 35 people and it honestly worked great. The food was really good, obviously the beer was awesome, and the staff were really easy to work with and very helpful! The hayloft offers an intimate, fun atmosphere, and is also a cool experience because you have to walk through the brewery floor to get to it, so it's almost like a VIP brewery tour to get there! The one drawback is the parking. We were lucky that there wasn't a large event in their bigger space on the main floor, so it wasn't really a problem for us but the brewery really only has street parking, so you and your guests will have to deal with that, but it's all free street parking and if you're used to any parking situation in Minneapolis/St. Paul, this really isn't any different. Overall a great place for a party, rehearsal dinner, or whatever you might need it for and the taproom is a great atmosphere! I would highly recommend Urban Growler if you're looking for a reasonably priced venue to host an event.

Thank you so much, Doug! We loved hosting your event and wish you and Haley all the best!
We had our rehearsal dinner at Urban Growler. Our planning process was so easy. We were given different menu options, as well as different room options. We went with the Barrel Room and could not have been happier. The cleanliness and attention from staff was top-notch.

Urban Growler was a perfect venue to host a casual rehearsal dinner! Communication from the staff was easy, fast, and stress free. The delicious food was served promptly, and it paired well with the beers available at this wonderful brewery. I would highly recommend having your event in this space.

We were extremely impressed with the staff at the Urban Growler.
They all went above and beyond making sure that everything went well. The food was spectacular and we look forward to dining there again.

Thank you, Phyllis! Happy we could help!
Great space for a relaxed rehearsal dinner. We had 45 people and were very comfortable. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The beer was awesome and great selection. Non-alcoholic drink choices were also very good.
I rented the Hayloft for our rehearsal dinner ahead of our daughter’s wedding day. Getting to the Urban Growler’s Hayloft was a fun experience, with a look behind the scenes and some interesting history of the building.
Very urban, relaxed and at the same classy.
Payton was easily available and very helpful. We had several special requests that she helped with in a cheerful and comforting way.
I ordered the taco buffet and the guests said it was excellent!
I highly recommend the U G’s party venue and services.

Thank you, Christine! It was so fun to work with you in the planning stages. Congrats on your daughter's wedding, I'm sure Paikka did a wonderful job!
We rented out the Barrel Room at Urban Growler for a welcome dinner the night before our wedding. All of our guests (mostly out of towners) were invited to this, so it was important to us to have a fun, more casual event for our traveling guests to enjoy. The food and drinks were delicious, and the whole atmosphere in general was awesome. Our guests had a blast and it really just made our weekend that much more special. We worked with Justin and Payton, both of whom were so helpful and responsive. Payton was our primary contact for day of and she truly ran everything so smoothly. We felt she had it all handled and it was great not to have to stress about how it would go. We'd definitely recommend this space for any events you may have!
Such a wonderful company to work with. Easy and fast communication, details are always straight forward, and very accommodating to food sensitivities! The space was beautiful and the perfect size for our wedding. The best part: EVERY SINGLE STAFF MEMBER WAS AWESOME. Urban Growler, thank you for making our big day so special!
