Our live music shows are primarily 21+, though select events are listed as “18+” or “All Ages.” Please check the event listing for the show you’re planning to attend to see that show’s requirements.

Unfortunately we don’t allow outside chairs. Some shows are general admission standing room and will be listed as such. We have a limited number of tables and chairs in the room for select shows, and some shows have VIP tables available for purchase.

We are committed to making our venue accessible to all patrons. Our facility meets all Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, including accessible entrances and restrooms. Reserved tables are an upgrade subject to availability.
