Towne Hall West
All the beauty and charm of Towne Hall but half of the space for smaller gatherings of up to 80 seated guests.
Our hand-crafted knotty alder wood doors are pulled closed to divide our larger Towne Hall in half to provide space for smaller gatherings, without losing the character of the fuller Towne Hall space. This room also connects to the adjacent Wine Room.

Towne Hall East
All the beauty and charm of Towne Hall but half of the space for smaller gatherings of up to 80 seated guests.
This half portion of the Towne Hall space has a dropped ceiling providing for a cozier feel and enhanced acoustics for smaller gatherings than our larger Towne Hall space. This room also offers a 9’ x 12’ drop-down projection screen and a lofted projection system which can be used for video/slide presentations or television.

The Bar in Shanty Towne
One of a kind expansive bar for gatherings of 100 to 200 guests.
Enjoy our wrap-a-round bar that has been crafted from a live-edge 96 year old black walnut tree and seats 50 guests, as well as cocktail table seating for another 50 guests. Enjoy the 13 televisions which can display sporting events, event montages, or company and event logos.
