The BAD Space at Santiam Brewing

The BAD Space at Santiam Brewing is a flexible event venue in Salem, Oregon, suited to organisers planning private parties, live performances, comedy nights, meetings, fundraisers and community gatherings. The venue operates as a dedicated event space alongside Santiam Brewing, giving organisers access to a relaxed pub setting with practical facilities for both social and performance-led occasions.

The space can accommodate up to 90 guests and includes tables and chairs, a fully lit stage, PA equipment, a 32-channel mixer, house instruments and a green room. This makes it particularly suitable for live music, open mic sessions, presentations, talks, comedy shows and other programmes that need a proper performance set-up. The venue also offers sound support for live music when required.

Food and drinks can be arranged through Santiam Brewing, with the restaurant menu available for event guests. Organisers may also bring commercially prepared outside catering subject to an additional fee. The full bar serves the venue’s own beer alongside cider, wine and mixed drinks, while outside alcohol is not permitted.

Private bookings are available for events lasting between four and eight hours, with different rental options depending on the day, timing and length of the booking. Organisers can decorate the room within the venue’s guidelines, and a site visit can be arranged before confirming the event. With its built-in technical equipment, catering options and intimate capacity, The BAD Space is a practical choice for smaller celebrations, company gatherings and entertainment-focused events in Salem.
