Questions

Before you boot up

The Hall holds 250 seated or 400 standing, the Upper Deck 125 seated or 200 standing, and the Yard 150 seated or 200 standing. A full buyout fits up to 800 guests.

Do I need to know how to dance?

No. Plenty of people come to watch, shoot pool or catch the game. When you're ready, the floor is friendly, and the best dancers on Thursday win a cowboy hat.

What games do you have?

Several pool tables, beer pong, ping pong and a row of arcade games, plus a 30-foot indoor LED screen and an outdoor LED screen for every big game.

What should I wear?

Boots and hats are welcome but never required. Come as you are, just wear shoes you can dance in.

Where do I park?

Street parking on W 20th and nearby side streets, plus rideshare drop-off at the front gate. For large events we coordinate valet.

Can we host a daytime corporate event?

Yes. We book private events seven days a week, including weekday lunches and afternoons. Most quotes go out within 24 hours.
