No more FNL :( but come see us for regular ol’ lunch and dinner service on Friday and remind us you still love us.

On Saturday we have a super exciting show with David Kaiju, Squirrel Movement, and Spür. Doors at 8:30, show at 9, tickets $15 adv / $20 dos.

See you every day?

Omg hehe we are sooooo excited to announce Kinky Bingo coming to The Space in October!

Kinky Bingo is the sexiest live game show you’ve ever seen. Join the Baroness of Bad Behavior, her majesty Mistress Dani herself, for a night of cheeky jokes, hands-on games, and, occasionally and famously, bingo that would make your grandma blush.

The prizes are scandalous. The games are unhinged. And the audience is as likely to be
begging for mercy as shouting “bingo!”

Come dressed for trouble. Leave your shame at home but bring your dignity as an offering. The Baroness likes that.

Feeling nervous already? Don’t worry if you’re shy – our exclusive Pink Armband Society signals to our staff and performers that you just like to watch

Kinky Bingo is strictly 21+. Safety is our first priority. Costumes, gear, and curiosity are all
encouraged.

Wanted to be a bit adventurous and play around with a fun cocktail this weekend using buzz buttons- a small edible flower that’s makes your mouth all tingly and fuzzy like tv static ⚡️

The drink itself is a balance of sweet and umami with the white misooo mmmmm

The idea is that you eat the button while sipping so you get a a mouth full of sensory explosions

On Thursday we have open mic comedy starting at 8pm and we will be serving the comedy burger all night long.

Friday is the LAST Friday Night Live of the season, and while we are sad to see it go, we are hoping for one last crazy Friday where we can serve you all drinks and good food.

This event will feature tons of local talent and will feature networking, live performances, interviews, and a chance to vote on your favorite performance.

See you every day?

Sooo for some reason… Ian’s midwest passion called him get out of bed this morning… go to the farmers market and put a corn special on today (specially harvested from Kohler Family Gardens ✨ )

And for some reason… he believes there’s no one else in this town or state that can go band for band in a corn eating challenge. One of his many talents!

So if you’re really about that life and want the smoke, come put your money (and this fire ass corn) where your mouth is 🤫
