Guest blogger Heather Abell rates this a 10/10 for a chill night out with the family.
Ready to wind down after a long work week? Ivanhoe Park Brewing Co. hosts the perfect kid-friendly event for families and it’s free. Occurring the first Friday of each month from 6-9 p.m., you can enjoy local craft brews and food while viewing an outdoor movie.
Ivanhoe Park Brewing Co. transforms their parking lot into an outdoor movie theater. It’s such a fun idea for parents looking to enjoy a brewery without the side-eye! Bring foldable chairs and blankets to create your own comfortable space. They also have lawn chairs and barrel tabletops set up. Plus, this event is dog-friendly so you can bring the fur babies along too!
In addition, there are tasty pop-up food options available (think: food trucks & tents), or you can bring your own snacks. While we were there, it was a chill vibe with kids dancing and running around prior to the movie starting. We ordered two beers to try, the Peanut Butter & Jelly and the S’mores. Both stouts. Both delicious!
