THE SPACES

THE BEE HIVE BALLROOM

The Bee Hive Ballroom adds historic elegance and character to any event. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows first used the ballroom upon opening in 1896. Under the layers of past renovations we rediscovered a room frozen in time. From the original tin ceilings to the Douglas fir floors this Ballroom provides a versatile palette for your table and decorating plans.

Ideal uses: Wedding ceremonies and receptions; parties; corporate seminars, dinners and events; craft nights

Occupancy: maximum 100 (formal seating). 120 drop-in events.

Dimensions: 24 by 60 feet

Amenities: bar with up to 4 taps; 4-hour bartender service; PA/sound system; small stage; adjacent kitchen; chair lift for people with disabilities.

THE SPEAKEASY LOUNGE

The Speakeasy Lounge is a cozy jewel of rehabilitation overlooking Central Avenue. This was the office area of the IOOF Ballroom and features the original display windows, rustic wainscoting and its own bathroom.

Located at the front of the building, it can be reserved alone or in conjunction with the adjacent Bee Hive Ballroom.

Ideal uses: Wedding groom’s, bride’s or child room; corporate meetings; club events; family reunions; wedding or baby showers; gender-reveal parties; book and craft clubs.

Occupancy: maximum 25 (formal seating).

Dimensions: 24 by 24 feet

Amenities: bathroom; adjacent kitchen; chair lift for people with disabilities; wide-screen TV-projection.

THE CATERING KITCHEN

The kitchen is located between the Ballroom and Lounge and is available for use by any caterer you select. Worth Brewing Company does not offer catering services.

Dimensions: 11 by 13 feet

Amenities: stove, refrigerator, commercial sinks, prep tables.

THE GREEN ROOM/PRIMARY REST ROOMS

Worth Brewing Company earned a “Preservation at its Best” award for the building rehabilitation in 2016. One reason was our unique solution of saving a historic structure while ensuring a safe and functional modern facility. We added an emergency rear access, handicap accessibility and modern restroom facilities to the Ballroom by linking to and rehabilitating the adjacent Erickson building. That building’s southern room was transformed from a derelict apartment to a large anteroom and modern restrooms.

Dimensions: 24 by 30 feet

Amenities: anteroom “green room”; women’s and men’s restrooms.
