The spaces

Our spaces, one kitchen, and the evening built around you

An open-air courtyard on Main Street, a banquet hall named for one of the men who put the building up in 1872, and a speakeasy opening this fall. Each one is yours alone for the night, each one is fed by the same kitchen that cooks the à la carte menu, and our in-house event coordinators run all three — so the only real question is which space suits the evening.

The Courtyard on Main

Open air, umbrellas up, for as long as the season holds

Our open-air space right on Main Street, with the courthouse square across the way and rich history surrounding it. Perfect during the season for open houses, sales pitches, or just a get-together with old friends in the middle of the afternoon.

  • ◆Open-air tables on Main Street
  • ◆Umbrellas by day, lanterns and heaters after dark
  • ◆Cocktail service or a full seated dinner
  • ◆Indoor space held in reserve for weather

The one with room to spare

William Tripp's Banquet Hall

Open floor, high windows, room to move

An open-concept hall under a pressed-tin ceiling, with tall windows over Main Street and exposed brick down one wall — where the board room meets the reception and memories are made. House sound and a projector are already in the room, so a sales kickoff on Monday and a wedding reception on Saturday both work without anything being carted in. From plated dinners to buffets and stations, we handle it all.

The 1830 Speakeasy

Cocktails and small plates

Our newest room, and the quietest — low-lit, with a bar of its own and a working fireplace, built for a proper cocktail, a short list of appetizers, and conversation you can actually hear. It opens this fall by reservation only, Thursday through Saturday from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m., and the whole room can be taken privately: drinks before dinner in the hall, a client reception, an anniversary that wants candlelight instead of a banquet.

  • ◆By reservation only
  • ◆Thursday – Saturday, 6:00 – 10:00 p.m.
  • ◆Its own bar and a working fireplace
  • ◆Available to book as a private room

What we host

If it is worth gathering for, we have hosted it

A rehearsal dinner on Friday, a pharmaceutical speaker program on Monday, a funeral luncheon at noon and a company holiday party that same night. These spaces change clothes easily. Tell us what yours is and our in-house event coordinators will make it happen — including the thing you do not see on this list.

Rehearsal dinners

The night before, both families in one room, and a toast list nobody has to shout over.

Pharmaceutical & speaker dinners

Rep-hosted programs and lunch-and-learns. A closed room, working AV, and an itemized invoice for your compliance team.

Conferences & corporate meetings

Sales kickoffs, board meetings, all-day sessions. Coffee gets refreshed without anyone having to ask.

Celebrations of life

A funeral luncheon or a memorial dinner, handled gently and quickly. Tell us the day and we take it off your list.

Holiday parties

December books early and it books out. One room, your whole staff, and a menu that suits both the vegetarians and the prime rib crowd.

Weddings & receptions

Ceremonies down the street, dinner and dancing here. Plated, family style or stations, depending on how the night should move.

Birthdays, anniversaries & retirements

The milestones that deserve more than a long table pushed together in the dining room.

Showers, graduations & reunions

Daytime or evening, twelve people or the whole class. Brunch works as well as dinner.

How it goes

Four steps, and none of them are chasing us for a reply

  1. 01

    Send the request

    The form below is everything we need to check the calendar — date, headcount, the kind of night you have in mind and a rough budget.

  2. 02

    We come back with options

    Usually the same day. Which space fits, what the timing looks like, and a couple of menu directions at your budget.

  3. 03

    Build the menu

    Plated dinner, family style or stations, off the full menu or something the chef writes for the night. Dietary restrictions handled in advance, not at the table.

  4. 04

    Show up

    The room is set, the AV is tested and your guest count is confirmed. You get to be a guest at your own event.
