Private Events at Nonesuch River Brewing
Gather your people and let us handle the details. Nonesuch River Brewing brings a working brewery, a scratch kitchen, and a welcoming team together, so your private event feels easy from the first note to the last toast.
Why choose a restaurant like ours for your next event
A good event restaurant does more than provide a room. It gives you a calm process, a clear plan, and food and drink that fit the moment. At Nonesuch, you get brewery fresh beer from Scarborough, a seasonal menu at both locations, and a service team that keeps the day on track while you enjoy your guests. If you are comparing restaurant options around Maine for your event, this is a place where planning feels straightforward.

Food and drink from a working brewery and scratch kitchen
Our kitchen makes dressings, sauces, and staples in house and updates menus with the seasons. Guests can expect shareable starters, bright salads, and hearty plates, plus desserts that change with the time of year. The bar features our beer brewed on site in Scarborough, along with thoughtful cocktails and zero proof choices. We can design a light spread for mingling or a plated menu for a seated dinner. Buffets are available when you want to keep the room moving and the conversations flowing.
Planning and process
Share a date window, an estimated headcount, and your preferred location. We will reply with availability, room suggestions, and a menu approach that fits your goals. Expect clear notes, prompt follow ups, and a point of contact who will keep your timeline in view. If you would like to taste before you book, ask about a visit for beer flights or select dishes.
Capacity and layouts
Final layouts depend on the event type, headcount, and season. The Scarborough mezzanine seats up to 80. A full building buyout seats up to 200. Poland works well for smaller weddings, showers, and intimate receptions, with outdoor seating by the water when weather allows.
