🪑 Pull up a seat
Guests can reserve a table for up to eight — rentable tables are available for $150/show or $400 for the series. Please request at least two days in advance, so plan ahead for next week’s concert.
Concert-goers are also welcome to bring your own seating, or rent chairs to support the event. But we have a feeling you might be on your feet grooving away to the tunes.
