Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery

Groups choose a semi-private space for 16 to 60 guests or a full buyout for up to 175, then plan the menu and bar package with the venue's events team, who reply within 24 hours. On the day, a venue coordinator handles logistics, and the event wraps by the midnight curfew.

Vibe

Casual, warm brewpub in a former theater: reclaimed wood, exposed brick, botanical jars behind the bar and a view of the brewhouse.

Space layout

One long ground-floor room with a front area by the street windows, a central bar, dining tables and booths, and a curtained table area beside the brewery windows. Event spaces are the Botanical Room, the Biergarten, a partial buyout and a full restaurant buyout.

Private events

The Botanical Room, the Biergarten and the partial buyout are semi-private and cover groups of 16 to 60. A full restaurant buyout closes the brewpub to the public. The events team replies to requests within 24 hours and sets the menu and bar package with each group, and a venue coordinator helps with logistics. Events end by midnight.

Food & drinks

The Brew Pub Feast is served family style: salads, vegetable sides, a choice of sandwiches and entrees, and dessert, with optional beer pairings. Bar snacks can be added per person. Drinks come as hourly beer and wine or beer, wine and cocktail packages, or a consumption bar charged per drink.

Group size

Botanical Room 16 seated or 20 standing, Biergarten 20 seated or 25 standing, partial buyout 40 seated or 60 standing, full restaurant buyout 115 seated or 175 reception style.
