Upper patio, lower patio, and the outdoor bar
Our upper patio awaits just outside of our building under the sun shades. That includes ten seats at the outdoor poured-concrete bar, cool to the touch even on the hottest days.
If you prefer direct sunlight, grab a picnic table on the lower patio and face the stage. When the band starts, you will have quick access to the dance floor.
