4/5 for a casual visit
3/5 for an event space
I've been here once with the family for a couple afternoon pints and was happy to know that my dog was allowed to sit with me! The beer was good and the space is cool. Recently, my sister-in-law rented out the space for her birthday party. It is pretty expensive to rent and the added extra costs that were unclear when negotiating the venue made for a nasty little surprise at the end of the night. Beyond that, the biggest problem was we did not have access to the space until an hour before the event! They were bottling beer later than they were supposed to. This made the set up very frantic and in my opinion a bit dangerous as a lot of the floor was wet! During the actual event, the staff were very nice (one bartender perhaps a lot too nice!) and everyone enjoyed the event. Guests were very impressed with this unique place.
Now here's what was the best part and what makes me think as a private event space, Henderson could soon be a 4/5. My sister-in-law and bro had a follow up meeting with the management at Henderson and aired some of their concerns. Their thoughts were well received and Henderson even did a price adjustment which really helped reduce any animosity. In the competitive world of craft breweries, a bit of goodwill goes a long way!!!
