FAQ

Yes. The studio space is a private section away from the main bar, and guests can play whatever music they like.

Yes, AV is set up on site, but the main bar does not have a screen for presentations, if that is what you need. The smaller Studio area has AV, but seats around 40 and does not offer cabaret layout.
