BEVERAGE SERVICE UPDATE
Beginning January 1, 2026, Wisconsin’s new Barn Law requires all wedding venues to serve alcohol under a Tavern B liquor license. To stay compliant while keeping events affordable, The Barley Room now offers a professionally staffed cash or credit bar with no minimums and some of the most affordable drink packages in the industry. Limited BYOB is still allowed for select refreshments. Non-alcoholic weddings and events are always welcome. Our goal remains the same: flexibility, transparency, and affordability for every celebration.
