About The Blakeley at Grain Theory

We are a brewpub located in downtown Abilene, where we focus on aroma-packed and flavor-driven beer. We take great pride in our meticulous commitment to quality here, but we don’t shy away from experimentation, funk, twists on tradition, and unique ingredients. Our high standards extend to an expertly curated wine list, remarkable coffee available from our in-house Coffee Bar, and a full Kitchen serving a locally and internationally inspired menu. We've placed all this and more into a thoughtfully designed space in the heart of the city we love. We included a special event space within the brewpub to provide a unique experience for a wide variety of groups. We call it The Blakeley, named after Robert Blakeley who designed the Fallout Shelter graphic - yes, we are located in Abilene's only fallout shelter!

Wonderful venue and great staff to work with! - An Eventective User from Abilene, TX

We recently hosted a reception at The Blakely at Grain Theory. Nick Williamson was great to work with and everything went so smoothly! I highly recommend this venue

Yes yes yes! - An Eventective User

Had a small grad party for our daughter, and it was very accommodating. Philip was wonderful, the space was big and we were able to have our own music. Doing this again!

My 30th birthday - An Eventective User from Abilene TX

We had my 30th birthday here and we were accommodated very well! The owners and staff were absolutely wonderful, very nice and helpful. David went above and beyond to make the day special. The food was delicious and the place was very clean and well put together. I also appreciated the extra mile they went for the kids and the women’s restroom having feminine hygiene products! 10/10 for us and we can’t wait to stop in again!!

Amazing place to host an event! - An Eventective User from Abilene, TX

Grain Theory is an amazing place to host an event. Hands down. They are straight forward, easy to communicate with, and you wouldn't even know they're there but always available to help. There's a reason why they're the talk of the town in regards to business and breweries. Book them.

Awesome Event Venue! - An Eventective User from Abilene, Texas

Had a work party here, and was really impressed by the wine choices, the food, and the beer wall!

Perfect place to break the ice! - An Eventective User from Abilene, TX

We had two events in the back room at Grain Theory in two weeks time. It was a wonderful experience! We were hoping that a little beer, some great food, and a change of scenery would lead to great discussions and a chance to get to know people better...that's exactly what happened.

Beautiful Venue! - An Eventective User from Abilene, TX

I am a local high school theatre director and when we were looking for a location for our end of year awards ceremony I contacted Grain Theory about catering and using their event room. The Blakeley was a perfect size for our group and the Grain Theory staff went out of their way to make sure that all our needs were met. They even developed a special menu of finger foods that suited the tastes of teens. The best thing was the view. For a scenic and gorgeous view of downtown Abilene, there is no better location. The high windows on the second floor in the heart of the city made for the kind of cool, urban photo ops the students and parents loved.

Great Place to have an Event - An Eventective User from Abilene, TX

This venue provides ample space for almost any occasion. The "self-pour" feature was fantastic, and not one guest went thirty. Also, the food is excellent! I will have another event here.

Excellent event location - An Eventective User from Abilene, TX

This was a great space for our team to meet during the day to accomplish some planning for the year while also having some space for team building. The Grain Theory team did an excellent job of taking care of us and they were professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend.
