The Braxton Igloo could be a fun gimmick, but the execution is poor. On our night (the 2nd igloo we’ve rented this year) it was raining cats and dogs. 1) You must leave the Igloo every time you want a drink. It’s a brewery ! Why doesn’t Braxton have someone "running" drinks to the Igloo ? The tips could have been HUGE. Instead, every time anyone wanted a drink they had to walk out into the rain and then stand in the rain at the bar (service was just ok because most folks weren’t willing to stand i the ran it seems) pretty poor. 2.) The Dewey’s food option works well enough but if your order isn’t quite right, you need more plates (like we did) , more dressing/sauce (like we did) - well your just outta luck. Too bad. Net - we won’t be back for an Igloo - (our first of the year was freezing cold) - The experience is just far too dependent on the weather and Braxton seems unwilling to put any effort in to make it a special. Sorry.

Atmosphere was great and have dined at the igloo bar previously. The heater system was different and it was colder than we planned for but all in all a great time and will do it again.

The atmosphere was great, the igloos were cool. Definitely was colder inside than we thought it would be . We did bring coats and blankets but was still cold inside on a 30 degree night. We were able to utilize a Bluetooth speaker which was cool. When we booked we thought it was full service in the igloo meaning they would bring our drinks. We had to go to the outdoor bar. Long waits outside which took away from our time in the igloo . So disappointed in that Over all it was a good experience I would do it again

The igloos needed to be warmer. We were the first reservation for the evening. The door to the igloo was not shut after the heater was turned on by staff. When we arrived, it was just as cold inside as outside. It really took about a 1/2 hour to get any heat in there.

It was a fun experience! We got the igloo for a bachelorette party and we and the bride to be loved it. The only thing to know is they do not provide a Bluetooth speaker like I thought they did so you may want to bring your own. You can’t beat the reservation rate. Other igloos in the area are significantly more expensive.
