Food after the show

From 11 am to 2 am, SNAX Pantry & Wok serves every day. Social Bar & Lounge brings in food and drinks from 5 pm to 1 am on Fridays and Saturdays. That makes two places to eat after 11 pm on weekends.

Retro Kitchen & Bar runs on split hours. Sunday to Thursday it serves 9:30 am to 2 pm, then 4:30 pm to 9 pm. On Friday and Saturday, service runs until 10 pm. Retro Bar has 24-hour liquor service on Fridays and Saturdays. Holiday kitchen hours need confirming on the venue's own website.
