The second level of our grand Stables is quite beautiful. There were no stairs to what was the second level hay mow, as a result, this area of the restaurant was virtually unseen for decades.

When venturing through the second level for the first time, Stables owners stumbled upon a few very interesting artifacts. They found an old oak barrel filled with oats, an empty Champagne-Velvet beer bottle, and a uniform from the Union army of the Civil War. The vision of a hot, over-worked, brewery worker sneaking off for quick, cold beer comes to mind!

After months of cleaning the soot and grime from the upper level, the carpenters were able to open up a section of the floor and create a grand staircase that welcomes guests as they enter the restaurant. All of the wood on the second level is original with the exception of the wainscoting around the stairway. The solid poplar beams, ceiling, and floor were cleaned up, stained, and shellacked to give this room a very rustic feel.

For private groups, the rear two-thirds of the second level is our grand banquet hall. The room seats groups of 30 - 175. Lavish buffets or sit down meals are available for business dinners and programs, family gatherings, wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners, and holiday parties.

The banquet room also features all the amenities to make your function successful - a fully stocked bar, internet access, audio-visual aids, and a dance floor.
