Travel Tips
- Strict 21+ night curfew: The venue enforces a firm 21+ cutoff after 10 PM daily. Security bouncers meticulously audit physical photo IDs or passports; digital formats are strictly barred.
- Strict outside drink ban: Bringing outside boba, flask water, or alcohol into suites is prohibited. Finding outside containers via window checks triggers an automatic $100-$200 clean penalty/corkage tariff.
- Microphone hardware liability: Dropping, slamming, or spilling cocktails over wireless microphones is strictly banned. Damaging fragile custom gear triggers full retail-price hardware liability at checkout.
