Entertainment

Live Music

$5 live music fee for guests 21+ during shows.

As many of you know, producing live music comes with significant behind-the-scenes costs, equipment, staffing, and overall event operations. This small fee simply helps us sustain and continue growing the experience.

We also want to be transparent: our bands are paid separately through pre-arranged agreements. This fee is not a gratuity for performers, but rather supports the overall production that makes live music possible here. We will still have a tip jar available if you'd like to share a little extra love directly with the band—they always appreciate your support.

If you've been with us from the early days, you've seen how much this space has grown. Our goal is to keep live music thriving for years to come. And as a thank you, we'll still be offering free live music during some of our larger annual events.

We appreciate you more than you know and look forward to many more great nights together.
