Two large cupolas and a 14' ceiling fan over the Event Center provide extra ventilation & natural light!
Final work has now been completed on the new Lakeward Spirits Event Center, located on the 2nd floor of The Barrel Factory. The signature space is providing a special venue for banquets, meetings, weddings, and other festivities in the newly-restored, 115-year old factory located in Buffalo's historic Old First Ward. Lakeward Spirits is The Barrel Factory's anchor tenant, and its craft distillery operations along with its Tasting Room & Store are located on the redeveloped factory's main floor below the Event Center.

The Event Center features the newly-restored, original hard maple factory floor. Extensive renovations on the floor were required due to heavy water damage from years of roof leaks.
Additional components of this enhanced space include:

This was my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary party. If you are thinking of having an event somewhere, look no further!!!! You CANNOT and WILL NOT find a more beautiful venue with a more helpful staff than at the Barrel Factory/Lakeward Spirits!! Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful it was with all of the exposed brick and original wood beams and woodwork, not to mention all the natural sunlight that filters in and the views of the grain mills. Gorgeous!!! THANK YOU!! - K. H. K.

About the Event Center
while still under restoration:
while still under restoration:
The “great hall” loosely reminded me of the old Park Lane restaurant that was demolished (for what reason?) a number of years back. Remember that feeling when you walked into the large dining room? You just don’t come across these impressive old spaces anymore – they are usually built with too much drywall and don’t retain enough original wood and brick. In this case, the opposite is true. This place is very comforting in its raw state."
