COVID-19 Policy

We are no longer requiring proof of vaccination at the door for any event unless specified on the event flyer.

Masks are highly encouraged for everyone, regardless of your vaccination status. We keep disposable KN95 masks available at our door in case you forget yours. Some events will require masks, and that will be specified on the event flyer and in communications about the event.

Our space is also equipped with a large-room air purifier containing a medical-grade H13 true HEPA air filter.

Accessibility Info

Elevator: Our venue is located in a basement, down a flight of stone steps from ground level. If you need to access the venue by elevator, there is one located in the foyer of Mesa Verde (the restaurant upstairs from us). Inside the elevator, press the button labeled “B” to be taken to the venue. Please make sure to check in with the volunteer at our main entrance on cover nights when you arrive.

Bathrooms: We have two gender-neutral bathrooms. One is not wheelchair accessible, and has two toilet stalls. The other bathroom has a urinal and a wheelchair accessible toilet stall. Neither bathroom has automatic doors, so please let a bartender or door volunteer know if you need assistance with opening or closing doors.

Seating: Our bar area is not accessible for wheelchair seating, but we typically have several tables around the room that are. If you’re at an event without tables and need one, please let a bartender or door volunteer know and we’d be happy to set one up for you. We have many places around the venue to sit down and rest.

Lighting: The venue is often dimly lit unless the event is something like a reading. On dance nights, we have moving lights and lasers and occasionally use a fog machine and strobe lights.

Sound: On dance nights and band nights, the venue is quite loud for several hours. We keep a supply of foam earplugs on hand. If the sound becomes too overwhelming, we have a covered patio area where you are allowed to take drinks (please note: this is also our smoking area).
