We will definitely be back! - An Eventective User from HOLMEN, WI

We had our 2nd Annual La Crosse Distillery Client Appreciation Event this week and it was a wonderful evening! Great staff, amazing food, and we love the atmosphere at the Distillery! We had right around 100 guests and they all had a great time!! We will definitely be back next year!

UWL Newman Center Senior Night! - An Eventective User from La Crosse, WI

We hosted a celebration here for graduating seniors from UWL who are involved in the Catholic Campus Ministry program at the Roncalli Newman Center. Chelsea was so great to work with. She was detailed, professional, and on top of it from our first phone call and was willing to meet with me in person to go over details nearer to the event. La Crosse Distilling Company has an easy, clear process laid out for their events. I had no questions or confusion, which was SO refreshing. We want to have our event here again next year! Since they are closed on Tuesdays, we had the whole place to ourselves. That was such a gift - got to hang out on the patio with the garage door open and enjoy a beautiful night. Thank you to all the staff!

Management Response
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to host your group and we hope to see you again next year!
Perfect Place to Host an Event! - An Eventective User from La Crosse, WI

My department, the Menard Family Initiative of UWL, housed our scholarship banquet at the La Crosse Distilling Co. I worked closely with their event coordinator, Chelsea, and she was great! Chelsea helped me create a food and beverage menu and provided a seating/table arrangement that met our party's needs. The food, beverages, and service were amazing! I received many compliments on the nights event, which couldn't have been pulled off without the space and service provided. I'd highly recommend hosting your event in their private mezzanine.

Awesome place for an Event! - An Eventective User from La Crosse, WI

We had one of our Client Appreciation Events at La Crosse Distilling Co. last week. One Word: FANTASTIC! From the venue to the staff to the food .. all top notch! This will definitely be a yearly event for us going forward! Dawn Operations Manager OneTrust Real Estate

Chelsea and staff did just a fabulous job - An Eventective User from ,

The title says it all. A last minute request to host a high school girls tennis banquet was handled with grace and professionalism. The food was great and our whole group- girls and parents- all had a great time! Thank you- we will come again.

Great Place to hold a Special Event! - An Eventective User from Iola, WI

Rehearsal Dinner - They went over and beyond

Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Space - An Eventective User from La Crosse, WI

We love The Distillery in general, so it was an easy pick to host our rehearsal dinner. The vibe of the place fit is very industrial, but the event space upstairs just seems more intimate. We had a buffet and expected our 40/50 guests to circulate in and out throughout the night. Instead, everyone was loving the food and drink so much that they weren't leaving! We were pretty much at capacity the entire 3-hour span of our event! With the 40-50 people, it was sometimes a little tight, but there were other table layouts we could have chosen, so this was on us - but again, we never thought everyone would stay the entire time! The space upstairs was also split nicely into the bar/buffet area and the eating/sitting area, so it was super easy to mingle and talk to everyone while also escaping over to the bar when a drink was needed. Chelsea, who coordinated the event as well as hosted the bar, was fantastic. A ton of people arrived at once and she was super efficient in getting out everyone's drinks and the young lady who was assisting with the buffet and clearing plates and everything was wonderful - and never once complained about my several requests for more chairs! Overall, a great location for a rehearsal dinner space and we were extremely happy with our decision!

Great venue for an event - An Eventective User from Fond du lac, Wi

We held a hospitality event here for over 100 clients and could not have been more pleased. The staff and service were both outstanding. The cocktails and beer were great and the food provided was very delicious. Several clients raved about the event the following day and thanked us over and over.

A Beautiful Venue! - An Eventective User from Hartford, WI

My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at La Crosse Distilling Co. and were blown away by the venue and staff. Chelsea had great communication and was incredibly helpful in the weeks leading up to our event and our guests raved about the food and service all night long. We couldn't recommend it more!

Amazing Host and Team - An Eventective User from La Crosse, WI

I hosted my Walk to End Alzheimer's kickoff party at the La Crosse Distilling Co on Thursday, June 23, and the entire experience was first class and memorable. Chelsea Harr, their Event Coordinator, made planning and organizing leading up and during the event seamless and their entire team went above and beyond to help make it a success. The catered food they provided was delicious and enjoyed by all who attended, and the space was both gorgeous and user friendly. I can't overstate how much I enjoyed working with the La Crosse Distilling Co!

Amazing Experience and wonderful event location! - An Eventective User from Janesville, WI

Please have your dinner, drinks, or event at La Crosse Distilling Co! We hosted an event of about 50 people here and the event and location was amazing! Their staff is so attentive and thought of everything we might possibly need before we even got there. Food and drinks are both great. Thank you La Crosse Distilling Co for a great time!

This is the perfect place to have an event! - An Eventective User

We held our daughter's rehearsal dinner here and everything was absolutely perfect! The venue is beautiful; the staff were friendly and accommodating; the drinks were delicious; and the food was AMAZING! Communication was excellent! I highly recommend having an event here!

Rehearsal Dinner - An Eventective User from Charlotte, NC

The La Crosse Distilling Co. worked well for our rehearsal dinner. We had roughly 30 guests, so we ordered two entree's (taco bar and slider bar). That seemed to work really well and we didn't have much food left over. We also gave each guest one drink ticket. Everyone seemed to have a good time. We could definitely see us using this spot again in the future.

Wonderful company dinner - An Eventective User from West Salem, WISCONSIN

We were very pleased with having our dinner hosted at the La Crosse Distilling Co! from communication at the beginning, to being flexible and accommodating our requests, and enjoying the lovely service and food there! We will consider having events planned there in the future for sure!

Awesome Private Cocktail Class - An Eventective User from La Crescent , MN

I had a private cocktail class for my bachelorette party. It was a fantastic event. Hailey was great to work with planning everything ahead of time making sure it was the exactly event I wanted. Our bartender in the day was engaged with us and really wanted to teach us different skills. I would highly recommend.

Excellent Space for Smaller Get Togethers - An Eventective User from Fargo, ND

Our rehearsal dinner was perfect because of La Crosse Distilling Co and the staff! We hosted 30 people in the mezzanine for our rehearsal dinner during Covid-19. The space is gorgeous - pictures do not do it justice. The staff were phenomenal. The general manager checked in with my fiance throughout the night to make sure that things were meeting our expectations. We worked with Haley to book and create menu and timeline and she was very thorough and a pleasure to work with. The food was delicious. We had chips and guacamole for an appetizer and pork carnitas tacos and mixed green salad for the meal and guests raved about all of it. There are some guacamole snobs in my family and they said this guac was the best they've had. The drink were also delicious. We choose the mule, margarita and old fashioned for our guests and all were good. This place was awesome and I would recommend it to everyone. We were so impressed with everything.
