When you book a party at any of our Good News locations, we will put you in an area that fits your party size and other customers may be sitting right next to your party. If you want some privacy, we will reserve the entire patio in O'Fallon or the front room in Defiance. Each of these can hold about 50 people and we will close the area to the general public. Note: +In Defiance the public may be walking through this room to go to the restrooms. We try to use close the section and have our other customers use the bathroom outside, but this is not possible on busy weekends. + We require a 30 person minimum buffet and bar for Semi-Private events as we have to close the entire section to the general public. This can be paid by the host or a hybrid approach, but either way $15/person for food and $20/person for bar = $1,050 minimum.

Our brewery can accommodate up to 50 guests for small private events. We have both indoor and outdoor seating options to suit your preferences.
