Bistro Section 2 sits a little apart from the main floor and seats up to 60 guests while staying close to the action. The Sports Bar has several big screens and a lively feel, and works for club presentation nights, birthdays and game-day functions. It can be set up for small groups or larger gatherings. Outside, the beer garden is split into sections with plenty of shade. Section 2 is a more open corner near the bar that holds up to 35 guests. For seated groups there is a share-style set menu at $58 per person for two courses or $69 for three. Stand-up events can order platters of sliders, arancini, skewers, pizzas and more.
