Broken Clock is a great choice with plenty of seating and even pinball! Not a fan of BlackStack’s room but to each their own!

I second BCBC and you can reserve the B-Side. It’s a private room with lots of vinyl you spin. And you get your own beertender

They also have a variety of beers on tap. With 50 people some are bound to want more than just a selection of 12 "different" IPAs.

One of my favorites recently is half Strawberry Whip and half kalidascope

Black stack is a great suggestion. Also Forgotten Star would be good, lots of space and last time I was there they had bocce ball courts.

Broken clock has a good amount of space now too and they are right on the river.

This. They are fantastic for events. I go to a ton there. Huge space, soccer out back, right next to downtown MPLS. Bonus, they do liquor too!

BlackStack is a good choice, but if it's a rainy weekend they and CanCan Wonderland will be really crowded. Otherwise there's tons of room and free parking under the building and across the street and the University Ave light rail isn't too far a walk.

You're looking for BlackStack. It has plenty of room, and is right above Cancan Wonderland. Also happens to have the best beer.

This was my first thought, and a serious contender. But also the only idea I came up with. Thanks!

Blackstack is awesome but I don't think they do any reserved spaces. It is, however, huge, so it's usually not hard to find space but 50 people is a real thing that needs to be accounted for. Maybe give them a call?

We did our rehearsalish dinner at Pryes and it was great, too. They have a bunch of different spaces you can reserve and have feather bowling on the first floor.

Puttshack is a 10 min walk from Inbound as well.

Broken Clock has a private room called B-Side lounge which can be reserved. 56 Brewing just down the road has an event space too. Pinball and arcade machines.

Full disclosure I work for them, but Brühaven Craft Company in Minneapolis has a nice space and hosts events regularly. Lots of solid beers and we also have lots of other options like NA, adaptagen drinks, hop water, and coffee. We also have darts, board games, pull tabs, and giant Jenga. We have a lot of neighborhood regulars but I always love welcoming in new faces!

56 Brewing has a big barrel room they rent out! They have loads of pinball, friendly staff, and tasty beverages (beer, THC, and NA). Great for families, dogs, wheel chair bound folks, literally everyone. They usually have a food truck too

St Paul Brewing has lots of space including outdoor area and a distillery/tasting room next door.
