Do I have to have one tab for the party?
No. You can have a cash bar but the total amongst all tabs needs to equal $500 for the room minimum.

Can I bring in outside food?
Yes, however we do not allow open flames or hot plates. Sterno is permitted. We will always have a food truck here as well.
Can I hire my own food truck?

I'm looking for a good caterer, do you have any suggestions?
Yes we do! Below is a list of some of our local favorites in alphabetical order that are available to cater your party. Please know, we do not coordinate any catering, the information below is for your party to reach out to caterers.
Can my party bring children?
Yes, however we have a very strict policy for anyone under 21. Anyone under 21 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Our production area is an open space with heavy equipment and chemicals. If anyone under 21 is not accompanied by an adult, their guardian will be given one warning before we will need to ask them to leave the premises. We have this strict ONE STRIKE policy in place for you and your guests safety and it's something we take very seriously.
