Choosing your seats ensures a table. Individuals may purchase their own tickets. Only small tables are placed with four chairs at each. Tables may NOT be moved or moved together as they are spaced 6 feet apart.

BYOB is still in place. Drinks and ice will not be provided.

Masks must be worn at all times, except to take a bite or drink then re-mask immediately. Masks must be worn when entering, exiting, moving about the room and talking to someone other than those you came with. Performers are required to wear a mask when not performing. Prior to the event, surfaces will be sanitized and sanitizer will be present at the doors. 

All guests must enter via the front entrance where temperatures will be taken. Please remain 6 feet apart and follow defined paths. Thanks for your understanding and patience in light of all the changes!
