Barrel 118

Our Story

Barrel 118 is a captivating event venue nestled in the heart of Eatonton's vibrant downtown historic district, a charming oasis in Georgia's picturesque Lake Country region. This remarkable building, completed in 1900, boasts a rich history, originally serving as a warehouse where local farmers stored their cotton before its journey via rail. The structure later transformed into the H.B. Hearn warehouse, a hub for the storage and sale of essential farm supplies. Today, Barrel 118 stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of its past, reborn through meticulous restoration and modern renovations completed in late 2019.

The venue's industrial chic aesthetic blends seamlessly with classic elegance, creating an atmosphere that is both timeless and unforgettable. Exposed brick walls whisper tales of a bygone era, while original hardwood floors gleam beneath the soft glow of 15-foot arched windows. Soaring ceilings punctuated by majestic wood beams add a sense of grandeur, providing the perfect backdrop for a range of private events. It's a space where history meets modernity, where rustic charm embraces refined sophistication.
