Our events venue is open! We are actively welcoming guests for private events
and happy hours in our tasting room and on our patio.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Happy Raptor Distilling is about making memories, which is why we poured all kinds of heart into our space. Our venue's capacity is perfect for work events, small fundraisers, family gatherings, or celebrating with friends. Schedule a private happy hour, reserve the patio, or rent out the whole space for a night - we're here to help you dream up a unique and memorable shindig.

We are proud to offer our venue for free to nonprofits,
​including discounted bar packages.

Things to know before you book.

- Our space can accommodate a maximum of 116 guests indoor and outdoor. To prevent feeling crowded, we recommend a cap of 45 guests either on the patio or in the tasting room. For a full venue rental, we suggest 75-80 guests as a comfortable maximum to prevent feeling squished.

- Due to current legislation, no outside beer, wine, or spirits are permitted.

- Happy Raptor is family friendly. We provide some small toys and non-alcoholic beverages (like soda and lemonade) for families. Children are not allowed behind or sitting at the bar. Of course, we never serve alcohol to anyone below the age of 21.

- Pets (except service dogs) are not allowed inside the tasting room but they may hang out at the front near our garage door (when leashed and with their owner, of course).

- Our space includes a tasting room with bar, patio with seating, a production area, and two large gender-neutral restrooms. The production area is typically closed to the public during events unless specifically arranged otherwise.
​
- We do not have a kitchen at Happy Raptor. However, outside food is welcome.
​Potlucks, food trucks, catering, pizza delivery - the choice is yours.
