CAN I COME TO BEAT KITCHEN IF I’M UNDER 21? 

SHOWS: Each show has its own individual age restriction: All Ages, 17+ or 21+. Check out the specific listing for the show. ALL 17+ and 21+ restricted shows require a valid government issued ID. No exceptions. 

DINING: We welcome guests of all ages for patio dining at any time. All ages are also welcome for indoor dining during Saturday and Sunday brunch. In the evenings, indoor dining follows the age restriction of that night’s show. For example, if the show is 21+, all indoor diners must also be 21+.

I’M BELOW THE SHOW’S LISTED AGE RESTRICTION! CAN I STILL ATTEND? WHAT IF I’M WITH A GUARDIAN? 

Sorry, we cannot make any exception to our listed age restrictions. For example, if it’s a 17+ show, and you’re not 17, you will not be allowed into the show even with a guardian present. Even if it is your favorite band. Sorry.

Seating is first come, first serve. We recommend dropping in early before a show to grab a bite to eat. 

I FORGOT MY CREDIT CARD / PHONE / WALLET AT THE BAR! 

Drop in during our normal business hours and pick up your lost item at the bar. 

I’D LIKE TO BRING MY CAMERA AND PHOTOGRAPH THE BAND PLAYING. IS THAT COOL? 

Although we do not have a camera policy, the bands typically do. Generally, cell phones and amateur cameras are fine, but professional cameras will need to be cleared. Please send detailed photo examples and/or proper photo credentials to info@beatkitchen.com.
