Upstairs at Stoup

Ballard

Welcome to Upstairs at Stoup, an intimate extension of the taproom that can be reserved for your next private gathering.

Upstairs at Stoup looks westward, with floor to ceiling windows and a deck over the beer garden, and can easily accommodate 48 seated or up to 60 mingling. Event hosts may select the four Stoup beers that will be on tap. We also have a selection of wine, local hard cider, as well as a rotating selection of non-alcoholic options.

When it comes to food, outside catering is welcome! Any of our rotating food trucks are a great option and we would be more than happy to put you in touch with them.

Evening and weekend events are booked in 4 hour blocks between 5 pm–close in the evenings, and between noon–4 pm on weekend afternoons.

Are you a business looking for a meeting venue or educational beer tasting opportunity for your employees and/or customers? Upstairs at Stoup is available in 2 hour blocks from 9 am–4 pm, Monday–Friday, and is fully outfitted for a meeting or presentation.
