Barrel House Z is a brewery, taproom, and event space, ideal for weddings and other special occasions in Westwood, Massachusetts. Founder Russ Heissner, who became the first brewer at the infamous Harpoon Brewery in 1986, started Barrel House Z 30 years later.

Facilities and Capacity

Today, Barrel House Z is known for its delicious, small-batch craft beers, decades of brewing experience, and chill, neighborhood vibe. This South Shore venue offers a laid-back and inclusive setting to celebrate your wedding. Choose from several spaces, both indoor and outdoor, with each offering a similarly relaxed vibe. Inside, the exposed piping and cement floor create a stylish, industrial aesthetic, perfect for any wedding theme or colors. Mingle over a game of cornhole or gather around the picnic tables over delicious beers. As a family-friendly location, the brewery welcomes kids, while dogs are invited to join in the celebrations on the patio.

Services Offered

At Barrel House Z, you and your guests can enjoy bar snacks and hot dogs from the taproom menu. Alternatively, a range of food trucks are often on-site, while outside food can also be brought in, allowing you to create a celebration all your own. Of course, all of this can be paired with one of the many craft beers made on-site, which include pale ales, pilsners, and stouts, among others. Refreshing craftails, or craft hard seltzer with mixers, can also be enjoyed, as can several non-alcoholic beverages, ensuring there’s something on the menu for everyone in attendance. Above all, the team looks forward to welcoming you for your special day and will work with you to create a unique and memorable experience.

Reviews of Barrel House Z

5 out of 5 rating

Happily Ever After

Barrel House Z was everything my husband and I wanted for our wedding. The staff went above and beyond meeting and exceeding our expectations. Brian Peters, the general manager, was extremely attentive to all of my questions and requests. He was awesome to work with and was super flexible with us. Our vendors were accommodated warmly and fit right in to the space. The brewery was such a fun vibe, and our friends still talk about our wedding. Not to mention, the beer is delicious. You really can’t go wrong having a wedding here, I’d do it again a hundred times over.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
