Questions

Good to know.

Can we bring food?

Yes — bring a food pop-up or a caterer of your choice. We run the bar; you handle the food.

How does the bar minimum work?

You commit to a minimum in bar sales. Your guests' tabs count toward it — if the tab comes up short, you cover the difference. A full buyout also carries a per-guest minimum, about $30 a head.

How do we hold a date?

Send the inquiry form and we'll get back to you with a quote. The rental fee holds your date once you're confirmed.
