Thank your team over dinner, celebrate a retirement, or bring everyone together for a company holiday party. Brickyard Hollow hosts work gatherings with craft pizza and Maine beer at several of our restaurants.
Choose from Portland and New Gloucester, or a covered and heated patio in Yarmouth. Each setting offers a different way to gather, depending on your guest count and plans.
Here’s what to know about our spaces, food, and event inquiries.
Plan Around the Occasion
A retirement dinner needs time for stories and a toast. An employee-appreciation lunch might need little more than a shared meal and an afternoon away from the desk.
We host company holiday parties, team outings, client gatherings, and networking events, along with celebrations for retirements and project milestones. If your event includes a meeting or presentation, tell us what you need when you inquire.
Start with the occasion, estimated guest count, and a few possible dates. Then decide how you’ll spend the time: seated for a meal, moving around to talk, or listening to remarks. Those details help us recommend a space.
Choose Your Brickyard Event Space
Think about where your guests are traveling from and how much privacy your event needs. Here are the settings available to discuss with our team.
Portland in the Old Port
Gather in the Old Port, close to the working waterfront and downtown. Portland suits after-work dinners and celebrations with coworkers visiting from out of town.
Our Portland location also puts shops and other downtown stops nearby for guests who want to spend more time in the city.
The Covered and Heated Patio in Yarmouth
Our original Yarmouth location offers a covered and heated patio for events. It’s a casual setting for a team meal or a gathering where people want time to mingle.
Ask our team about the patio’s layout and suitability for your date and guest count.
An Outing in New Gloucester
Our New Gloucester location offers a rural setting for a team outing, with pizza and locally brewed beer after time outdoors.
The property has a nine-hole disc golf course, fire pits, and yard games. Tell us which activities interest your group so we can confirm availability for your event.
Employee Appreciation Lunches and Dinners
Give the team time to enjoy the meal. An appreciation event feels more generous when people can settle in and talk without watching the clock.
Invite a department to lunch, bring the whole team for dinner, or recognize employees who have reached a milestone. Choose a time that works for the people you’re thanking.
Our craft pizzas and shareable starters give coworkers something to enjoy together while they catch up.
Let us know if you plan to present an award or make remarks. That helps us arrange the event around the celebration.
Company Holiday Parties and Retirements
A company holiday or Christmas party can be a casual lunch before the break or a longer evening celebration. Decide whether partners are invited and how much time you want for the meal before choosing your space.
Contact us once you have a few possible dates, especially for holiday events. Flexibility on the date, time, or location gives us more options to discuss.
For a retirement party, leave room in the schedule for a toast, photos, and stories. Tell us about speeches and other planned moments so we can discuss a suitable layout.
We also welcome inquiries for company anniversaries, promotions, and farewell gatherings.
Pizza and Drinks for Your Group
Our menus include craft pizzas, starters, salads, and other brewpub favorites. Choices depend on the restaurant and your event arrangement.
Match the food to the vibe! Buffet style service lets any number of guests eat exactly what and how much they want. For an event straight after work, plan to have food served as early in the event as possible to keep the “hanger” at bay.
Ask about onsite catering options when you inquire. Tell us about vegetarian preferences, food allergies, and other dietary needs so we can discuss menu choices, ingredients, and cross-contact.
Explore our Maine craft beer lineup and ask about other beverage options for your group.
What to Include in Your Event Plans
You don’t need a finished plan to contact us. These details give us a useful starting point.
Share your estimated guest count, preferred dates, and where most people will travel from. Let us know whether you’re planning lunch, dinner, or a shorter gathering.
Include any needs that affect the space: seating everyone together, a presentation, equipment, accessibility, or room for guests to mingle. Mention dietary needs and whether partners or other guests will attend.
Our event team will help you work through the location and setup. For out-of-town guests attending a Portland event, Visit Portland has resources for planning a longer stay.
Catering at Your Office or Another Venue
Already have a venue? We also cater office lunches, training days, company picnics, and celebrations away from our restaurants.
Our catering options include pizza and other food for groups. Ask about drop-off catering if you need a meal delivered to your own event.
You can also ask about adding our beer truck to a catering plan. We’ll need to discuss your location, date, and event requirements to confirm whether it’s an option.
If you’re deciding between hosting at Brickyard and using your own venue, tell us about both plans. We can explain the available services for each.
Send Your Event Inquiry
Use our Host an Event form to send your preferred date, location, event type, estimated guest count, and timing. Include details such as a retirement toast or presentation.
We’ll review your request and follow up about available space and next steps. Capacity, layout, menus, and timing depend on the location and event.
Not sure where to gather? Browse our Locations & Menus page and tell us where your guests are based. We’ll help narrow down the choices.
Corporate Event FAQs
Can you host employee-appreciation events?
Yes. Employee-appreciation lunches, dinners, and team celebrations are natural uses for our event spaces. Send us the group size and preferred location so we can discuss fit.
Which locations have featured event spaces?
Our event page highlights Portland, New Gloucester, and Yarmouth’s covered and heated patio.
Can we plan a company holiday party or retirement party?
Absolutely. Tell us whether you want a seated meal, space for remarks, or more time for informal conversation.
What if we need to make a presentation?
Corporate gatherings and presentations are among the event types we accommodate. Include your equipment and layout needs in the inquiry so we can confirm what works at your chosen location.
Do you offer catering away from the restaurants?
Yes. Ask about offsite food catering and whether a beer-truck add-on is suitable for the event.
How many people can attend?
Capacity depends on the space, layout, and event. Share your expected guest count so we can confirm an appropriate option rather than guessing.
