Brewery Vibes for your Albany Private Event
From casual happy hours to wedding rehearsal dinners, your event deserves a space that feels relaxed and welcoming. At the Common Roots Albany Outpost, you’ll find flexible spaces that fit whatever you’re planning, whether it’s drinks with coworkers or celebrating with family and friends. With great beer, scratch-made food, and a team focused on making things easy, your event will feel less like a production and more like a good time everyone can enjoy.
A Space that Works for You
At Common Roots Albany Outpost, we offer three distinct event spaces designed to accommodate everything from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations. Whether you’re planning a rehearsal dinner, shower, or company happy hour event in Albany, we offer a space that invites your guests to relax and enjoy.
The Great Room is our largest and most versatile space. With soaring ceilings, tall windows, and a striking stone fireplace, it’s an ideal setting for wedding welcome dinners, large corporate mixers, or milestone celebrations. The open floor plan can be customized to suit seated dinners, cocktail-style receptions, and everything in between.
The Montgomery Mezzanine offers a semi-private space that seats up to 60 guests. Overlooking the taproom, it features high, open ceilings and a relaxed but polished atmosphere. It’s a great choice for birthday parties, retirement celebrations, and business meetings. Need more room? Pair the Mezzanine with the Quackenbush area to expand your guest list, gain access to a private bar, and create a fully private experience.
The Quackenbush is perfect for more intimate gatherings, such as cocktail parties, off-site meetings, or smaller private events in Albany. It offers flexibility and charm, overlooking the Great Room from a cozy corner of our space.
Each of our event spaces features warm wood accents, abundant natural light, and a clean, modern aesthetic. Whether you’re aiming for a professional setup or a laid-back vibe, our dedicated event staff will help customize the layout and atmosphere to match your vision.
Dedicated Team, Smooth Execution
Planning an event can be stressful. But at Common Roots Albany Outpost, our goal is to make it feel easy.
From your first inquiry to the event day, you’ll work with the same dedicated event coordinator every step of the way. An experienced point person who knows the space, understands your vision, and makes sure everything comes together just right.
Whether you’re deciding which space best fits your vision or choosing the right menu for your guests, our coordinator will guide you through the entire process. We’ll help with floor plans, timelines, food and beverage selections, and day-of logistics, so you can focus on hosting, not troubleshooting.
Our hospitality team is experienced putting on all types of events, from formal corporate dinners to casual birthday gatherings. No matter the size or type of event, we’re here to make sure things run smoothly behind the scenes, so your event feels seamless from start to finish.
You bring the reason to celebrate. We’ll handle the rest.
Award-Winning Beer and Scratch-Made Fare, Tailored to Your Event
We strive to deliver food and beverage options that live up to the occasion for your event. Treat your guests to a selection of our award-winning beer, alongside a curated selection of wine and spirits. It’s the perfect complement to a menu built entirely in-house, featuring scratch-made fare and customizable stations that can be tailored to your preference.
Guests can choose from crowd-pleasers like smash-style burger sliders, wraps, tacos, and pizzas. With plenty of options, including vegetarian (gluten friendly) choices, you can mix and match to create a spread that suits your vibe, whether it’s casual or more refined.
When it comes to drinks, we offer flexible bar packages to match your needs and budget. Hosts can opt for a full open bar, cash bar, or choose one of our hybrid options. Our limited bar package allows you to set a price limit for open bar, transitioning to a cash bar after a certain price is hit. Alternatively, a ticketed bar gives guests a number of drink tickets to be used before switching over to a cash bar.
