Banquets and Hall Rental - Venue Descriptions |
|
Descriptions and information on the venues available for banquet and hall rental at Best Place. |
|||
| Blue Ribbon Hall | |||
| ............................................................................................................................................................ | |||
 |
With your first step into Blue Ribbon Hall, you will instantly be transported back to a time when things were a little tougher and yet life was simpler. Experience a piece of Americana history and enjoy yourself surrounded by Old World charm and hospitality. | ||
| Captain's Courtyard | |||
| ............................................................................................................................................................ | |||
 |
A statue of Captain Frederick Pabst himself will welcome you into his courtyard, which is framed by the Guest Center, Blue Ribbon Hall, and our vintage gift shop. Enjoy the company of your friends, new and old, during a warm summer evening, while tasting the hoppy coolness of a freshly poured beer, and relax while watching fireworks over the city. While the Captain’s courtyard provides a great open air venue for sunny weather, a canopy roof can easily be added to provide protection against rain and colder temperatures. | ||
| Jacob Best Balcony | |||

Under construction, details on the way, looking forward to future reservations. | ||
| Juneau Avenue | |||
| ............................................................................................................................................................ | |||
 |
Juneau Avenue has been restored and widened, offering much space for cars and pedestrians alike. For events exceeding the capacity of our inside venues, closing off part of the street provides another great opportunity for large public events of 330 guests or more. The possibilities of this area are endless. | ||
| King's Courtyard | |||
| ........................................................................................................................................................... | |||
 |
For more than a century, a statue of the good King Gambrinus, the legendary monarch of beer and brewing, reigned at the Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee. The original statue was carved out of wood in 1857. In 1966, it was faithfully reproduced in aluminum. When the brewery closed in 1996, the statue was moved to the relocated Pabst offices outside of Chicago. In 2011, Best Place was given permission to bring back the statue in all of its glory to its rightful home at the original brewery. King Gambrinus’ image now serves as a royal centerpiece for this unique courtyard venue! | ||
| Stammtisch/Edgar Miller Room | |||
| ............................................................................................................................................................ | |||
 |
For the 100th anniversary of the Pabst Brewery in 1944, the Chicago artist Edgar Miller spent 100 days to paint the beautiful wall murals depicting the brewing process and the history of the brewery. His murals line the walls around the “Stammtisch” in our Edgar Miller room, which is adjacent to Blue Ribbon Hall and is ideal for small groups or a romantic rendezvous. Use it for a private meeting with friends, surprise your Valentine with a candlelight dinner, or prepare it as a VIP lounge for your special wedding guests. | ||
| Sternewirt Guest Center | |||
| ............................................................................................................................................................ | |||
 |
The Guest Center at one time was called the Sternewirt, which, translated from German, means Star Host. In 18th and 19th century German breweries, this was the name of the room where the brewery owners entertained their guests. During the time when the brewery was still running, Pabst was renowned for its brewery tours, and tour guests were rewarded after the tour with pints of beer and the Sternewirt’s special atmosphere of authentic German Gemuetlichkeit. | ||
