Notch Brewing captures the spirit of classic European beer halls and beer gardens, with an atmosphere built for conversation and connecting. The Star Room provides the feel of a Bavarian beer hall, with room for 40 guests seated and up to 100 standing. It features high ceilings, communal tables, a wood burning stove , and A/V capabilities. Outside, the Notch Biergarten overlooks the tidal South River and Salem's Harborwalk. Notch's beer has attained international recognition, and the tap room offers 14 beers inspired by German and Czech classics, in addition to gluten-free and non-alcoholic options. An onsite kitchen offers German beer hall and street food staples, as well as allowing outside food. For ten years, Notch has been a great space for community, corporate, social events, and more.
