Join us for an intimate, chef-driven tasting experience featuring a selection of courses from our event menu, craft beverages, and a beautifully styled Barrel Room ready for a wedding celebration.

More than a traditional open house, this is an opportunity to experience the details that make a wedding memorable. Come hungry, ask questions, take photos, and envision your guests, your menu, and your celebration coming to life. Whether you're considering the Barrel Room as your wedding venue or DESTIHL as your caterer, we're excited to help you imagine the possibilities.

Our events team will be available throughout the experience to answer questions and discuss your plans. If you're exploring options, bring your preferred wedding date and estimated guest count so we can talk specifics. 

General Admission: $25 per person

Join us for a creative night of painting, pets, and pints in the Barrel Room! Guests will receive a paint-by-number outline of their pet (based on a photo they provide) and all the supplies needed to bring their masterpiece to life. No experience is necessary; just bring your love for animals and an appetite for fun! Tickets are $55 per person, and a portion of the proceeds will go to 2nd Hand Ranch in Princeton, IL.

Your ticket includes:
• A custom paint-by-number outline of your pet
• All painting supplies & step-by-step instructions
• A DESTIHL beverage to enjoy at the event
• The chance to support a great cause!

Arrive early to grab dinner in the Beer Hall before the event. Barrel Room doors and bar open at 5:30 pm

IMPORTANT: You must send a clear photo of ONE pet to Megan at mecouri@gmail.com immediately after purchasing your ticket to ensure your custom outline is prepared in time.

Join us in the Barrel Room where yoga instructor Selina Pritchard collaborates with Hannah of 'Flowting Feathers' to combine the beauty of yoga, the benefit of breath, and the power of sound. Selina will start the class with deep breathing and gentle movement, then Hannah will guide you inward with sound-healing frequencies that promote balance and connection to the body. Selina will conclude with a calming meditation to leave you feeling relaxed and at peace.

Each ticket includes access to the private class and a hand-poured soy candle by Cedar & Scotch. Don't forget to bring your own mat!

Could this BE any more Thanksgiving? Grab your lobster, your Joey, or your Rachel and join us for Friendsgiving Trivia, a whole night of questions about the one show we'll never stop rewatching. Six rounds cover all ten seasons: Central Perk, the apartments, the breakups, the catchphrases, and, of course, all those Thanksgiving episodes.

Pull up a chair, wear your best Thanksgiving pants, and bring your team. PIVOT on over for a night of trivia and good food with your favorite people. Prizes go to the top teams!
