Welcome to Taproom Parties!

Thank you for your interest in hosting a party at Newburgh Brewing Company! From birthdays and graduations to showers, rehearsal dinners, and everything in between, we love being part of your celebrations. This guide covers how parties work in our taproom – timing, food and drink options, and what to expect.

🎉 No Room Rental Fees During Normal Hours!
If your party is during our regular taproom hours, there are no rental fees – you simply pay for your food and drinks. We'll reserve space for your group within the taproom.

Party Details
Party Length & Early Open

Most taproom parties are scheduled for about 3 hours. If you'd like a longer event, just let us know.

Many groups choose to begin 1–2 hours before we open on weekends for a quieter, more private feel. Early-open time may include an hourly rental fee, and your catering order can often be applied toward that minimum.

Shared Taproom Atmosphere

During regular taproom hours, the space remains open to the public. We reserve a bank of tables for your party, but other guests will also be in the room.

It's a lively, casual atmosphere that still gives your group a "home base."

Looking for a Fully Private Experience?
For guests looking for a fully private experience or events outside our normal hours, we offer private taproom rentals and early-open options, based on date and availability. More detailed information is available in our separate Private Event Info guide.
Food & Catering
Buffet-Style Catering

We offer a full Catering Menu with salads, proteins, pastas, sides, appetizers, and brunch trays designed for groups. Most items are served buffet-style.

Half trays typically feed about 8–10 guests. Full trays feed about 16–20 guests.

Deadlines, Tax & Gratuity

Final headcount & catering order are due 10 days before your event.

An 18% gratuity/service charge and NYS sales tax are added to all catering orders. Menu items & pricing are subject to change based on availability.

  • Non-alcoholic beer options
  • Pepsi soft drinks & juice options
Space, Families & Decorations
Seating & Layout

Most taproom tables comfortably seat about 8 guests (up to 10 with added end chairs). We'll reserve a cluster of tables tailored to your group size.

We ask that your party primarily uses the reserved tables so we can keep other seating available for walk-in guests.

Family-Friendly & Kids

We're very family-friendly and love having kids in the taproom! Feel free to bring coloring books, small games, or other quiet activities.

We simply ask that children stay within your party's area and away from busy walkways and the bar area.

Decorations

Balloons, banners & centerpieces are all welcome!

Please avoid confetti or glitter, which are difficult to clean up. If you have a specific décor idea, just run it by us first.

Outside Food & Dessert

Outside food & drink are not permitted, with the exception of dessert items such as cake or cupcakes.

Please bring your own plates, napkins, and utensils for dessert service. We're happy to store desserts in our walk-in cooler.
