About this space

Our front-of-house space is the home of the bar — an area where guests can buy drinks or food, or set up a bar tab if preferred.

The room connects to the courtyard, a private function space, and the dining room. It's close to the restroom. This is the public-facing area of the venue, where any guest can move around freely.

The space isn't for private bookings, but works as an area where guests can move around and get drinks. All guests may access this space with no extra charge.
