About 1405 Saloon
1405 Saloon is a lively country-rock bar in Bunnell, Florida. It occupies a renovated one-story building (about 2,139 square feet) on Moody Boulevard (State Road 100) . Formerly known as the Dog Pound Saloon (and briefly “The Porch”), it was taken over in late 2022 by new owner-operators Tom and Lisa, who have fully refreshed the property . They added a raised dance floor, new lighting, and improved décor – even wiring in new stereo speakers – to create a friendlier, up-to-date saloon. Reviewers note the atmosphere is “unpretentious” and welcoming, with friendly bartenders and classic roadside-bar charm . Giant fold-up windows along the front open onto a patio, giving the interior an airy indoor-outdoor feel . Although the space is modest, it includes a full liquor bar (beer, wine, cocktails) and a commercial kitchen. A commercial listing confirms the property sits on a 2.95-acre lot with about 20 parking spots , so there is plenty of outdoor room for gatherings and bike parking. Bartenders report plenty of cold beer and signature cocktails (like spicy Bloody Marys and spiked lemonades) on hand, matching the laid-back Florida saloon vibe.
What makes 1405 Saloon notable locally is its community focus. Tom and Lisa immediately got involved in Bunnell events – for example, hosting a free barbecue lunch during a 9/11 memorial ride and fundraising for local causes . They treat customers like family, attracting a mixed crowd of bikers, rock fans, and locals. In short, 1405 Saloon is a country-themed bar that revived the old Dog Pound’s spirit while expanding it with live music, themed nights, and communal events. It now serves as a rare bona fide dance-and-concert venue in Bunnell’s otherwise quiet downtown scene.
Events and Programming
1405 Saloon is primarily a live-music and entertainment venue. On most weekends you’ll find cover bands or tribute acts playing rock, country, or classic hits on an in-house stage. For example, in 2025 local rockers like Crashrocket, GreenTree Brothers, Black Sheep, and Big Engine have headlined Saturday night shows. The saloon also regularly books themed concerts (for example, a Godsmack tribute band called AWAKE) and runs live radio-talent showcases. Beyond concerts, the schedule includes Karaoke nights (often mid-week), DJ dance parties (80s rock nights, grunge/emo throwbacks, etc.), and even burlesque dance shows on occasion. The venue often holds multi-act nights and special holiday events (New Year’s Eve, St. Patrick’s Day, etc.) with cover charges. In late 2023 they gained attention for hosting wrestling promotions – the Micro Wrestling Federation brought its “little person” wrestling shows to the big parking lot, and ticket prices were around $25 for general admission and $46 for ringside seats . Similarly, “Completely Unchained” (a rock/wrestling crossover event) is held on big weekends. These wrestling excursions are all-ages, whereas most live-music gigs are 21+ (check the flyer: if it’s “all ages” or “18+ only,” it will usually say so).
Special events such as charity rides, fundraisers, and biker rallies occur frequently. For example, fundraisers for Angel Flight, poker runs, and memorial rides often list 1405 Saloon as a designated stop or destination . Recurring nights to note might include weekly pool or dart tournaments, though these are hit-or-miss. Many guests simply come on Friday or Saturday nights for the bar’s live music lineup. In short, the programming is varied: fans can expect cover bands (classic rock, country, Southern rock, even metal), DJ sets after hours, karaoke or open-mic contests, and occasional exotic acts (wrestling matches or novelty shows). Tickets for big concerts and wrestling are usually announced on social media and the saloon’s event calendar well in advance. Unless an event specifies a charge, most nights have no cover or a small entry fee (typically $5–$15) collected at the door. On concert and wrestling nights the price range can jump: general-admission tickets are in the $20–$30 range, with premium or ringside seats (if offered) up to $40–$50. For reference, a Micro Wrestling show at 1405 in January 2026 charged $24.99 plus tax for general seating .
Tickets and Booking
In general, 1405 Saloon does not have a traditional box office with advance online sales (like a theater or arena would). Instead, tickets for special events are sold either through the organizing promoter or directly at the venue. If a concert or wrestling show has admission fees, look for announcements on 1405 Saloon’s social media pages or local event listings (such as community bulletin boards). Often you can buy tickets in person at the bar before the show (during business hours). For example, Micro Wrestling Federation events were advertised on their official site, and tickets could be purchased through the promoter’s ticket link. Many people simply arrive at the venue before showtime and pay at the door if seats remain. Popular shows (especially on weekends) can sell out, so a smart strategy is to arrive early or call ahead to reserve a spot. The phone number listed by the venue is (386) 313-6303; staff can sometimes reserve a “tab” or take requests for carpool groups. On most nights, though, tickets are not required – the bar is open for walk-ins for drinks and food. Cover charges (if any) are collected at the door in cash or major credit cards. (The venue accepts cards for payment even on cover charges , and bar tabs can be paid by credit.) In summary: check the event listing, arrive early on big nights, or buy online through the official promoter when available; otherwise show up and pay at the door.
Seating and Layout
The layout inside 1405 Saloon is an open, standing-room bar format. There is no reserved seating or a fixed seating chart – it’s mostly general admission. Upon entry you’ll see a long wooden bar with stools on one side and a performance area on the other. This stage/dancefloor is at the far end of the room. Around it are some low tables and chairs, but on live-show nights most guests gather and stand near the stage or in front of the dance floor. In practice, the first few rows by the stage offer the best view of the band, but you can watch from anywhere on the floor. If you want a seat, you’ll find bar stools lining the counter and a few high-top tables near the dance area. The outdoor patio (accessible through the big fold-up windows) is often set up with plastic chairs and park benches – especially for open-air events, guests often spill outside where they can grab a patio seat or pull up a folding chair. Note: one official event page specifically advises bringing a camp chair or standing for outdoor wrestling shows , implying fixed chairs are limited outside.
VIP or reserved sections don’t really exist here. At special events like wrestling nights, “ringside” (immediately around the ring) was sold as a scarce premium space (at a higher ticket price) , but for normal concerts everyone is on equal footing. Sightlines are pretty good from most of the room, as the ceiling is relatively high and the floor plan is unobstructed. The sound is amplified by speakers at the front, so extreme front-center will be loudest (bring earplugs if you have sensitive hearing). It’s often easier to hear vocals clearly from a few feet back. The limited seating means busy shows do fill up. If the room seems full, consider watching from the patio or standing near the bar; the view of the stage is still decent on the patio side thanks to the wide window openings . In summary, think of 1405 as a casual, general-admission dance hall. The best positions depend on your preference – upfront to dance close, or farther back near the bar for a drink and a view. Table service is not provided (it's a first-come, first-served bar), so plan to buy drinks at the counter.
Getting There and Parking
1405 Saloon is located at 1405 East Moody Boulevard (Highway 100) in downtown Bunnell (Flagler County). This puts it at the heart of Bunnell, roughly 10 minutes by car west of the Flagler County seat on the coast. The most convenient access is by car: from I-95, take exit 284 and head east on Highway 100 (Moody Blvd) into Bunnell; the saloon is on the south side of the street. If coming from north or west Florida, follow I-95 S to exit 284. From the south or east (Palm Coast area), you can use I-95 N or local routes until they converge on State Road 100. In short, Highway 100 connects to Bunnell and leads right to 1405 E. The GPS coordinates are roughly (29.475, -81.18).
Parking is available on-site: there’s a dedicated lot that holds about 20 cars . Many riders also simply park on the grass area outside the lot. During major events, the lot can fill up quickly, but there is ample spillover parking along Moody Blvd and neighboring streets (generally free street parking). Bicycles and motorcycles are welcome – in fact, on many biker-ride days you’ll see rows of bikes lining the lot. For convenience, arriving early (30–60 minutes before a big show) secures a closer spot. After-hours street parking is generally safe in downtown Bunnell, but be mindful that highways (FL-100) can be busy.
Public transit options are limited in Bunnell. There is no local city bus that stops directly at the Saloon. The nearest fixed-route bus services are in Palm Coast (the Palm Coast bus line) or express buses (Greyhound/FlixBus) that stop at Palm Coast or Daytona Beach. For example, intercity buses on I-95 stop at Flagler Beach or Palm Coast (a few miles east). If arriving by Greyhound or FlixBus, the closest station is about 10 minutes away by car. There is no train service in Bunnell (the nearest Amtrak stop is in Palatka, 20 miles south). Rideshare services (Uber/Lyft) do operate in the area, but drivers can be scattered in small towns, so scheduling a ride after a late show may require patience or a call to a local taxi. (A nearby town center address – or a known landmark like the Bunnell post office – helps drivers if Moody Blvd is hard to find.) In practice, driving oneself or carpooling is easiest. If you do rely on a ride-share, meet your driver at the corner of Moody Blvd and Roosevelt St, which is directly at the front entrance of the saloon.
Inside the Venue
Patrons enter 1405 Saloon through a single front door that opens into the main barroom. Expect a rustic, no-frills decor: the walls are plastered with posters, neon beer signs, and vintage license plates. The ceiling is relatively high, with exposed trusses and some stage lighting hung above the performance area. For lighting, the saloon uses colored spotlights on the stage and subdued overhead lights for the audience area – this creates a low-lit, rock-club feel once the show starts. The sound system is typical for a bar: a house PA system feeds from a mixer near the stage, with monitor speakers directed at the band. It’s clear enough for bands and singing to carry, but music can get loud; many visitors recommend earplugs if you stand near the speakers.
On arrival, you may go through a quick ID check (the staff is diligent about 21+ rules after dark). There is no bag check or metal detector under normal circumstances, but as with any concert venue, sharp objects, firearms, or illegal substances are prohibited. Cartoon-friendly items like cell phones and small cameras are allowed; many people film a song or take photos (flash photography is best avoided for the performers’ sake). The saloon has no formal coat check – space is limited and the weather in Florida is usually warm, so light jackets can just hang on chairs or the barstools. Speaking of seating, you’ll find that when you walk in: a row of wooden bar stools along the counter, a couple of high-top tables, and some bench seats on the open patio side.
The bar is the focal point: it stretches about halfway down the room on one side. Bartenders here serve beer on tap, mixed drinks, and have a small wine selection. They make good cocktails (reviews mention the “wife loved her drinks” and “lakescold beers” ). They also run the register for tickets or cover charges when events require an entrance fee. Credit cards are accepted, but it’s wise to bring some cash for incidentals or because lines can back up at the register on busy nights. The bartenders are known to be friendly and attentive, and they can usually point you to where the restrooms are and what’s on tap. (Speaking of restrooms: there are the usual two - one men’s, one women’s. They are not fancy, but kept reasonable. One of them is wheelchair accessible, with a ramp leading into the building at the side entrance, so the venue does meet basic ADA access standards.)
Food-wise, 1405 Saloon offers more than just peanuts and fries. Adjacent to the bar area is a small kitchen space (often branded “Angie’s House of Flavor”) that serves barbecue and pub grub. In practice, on show nights one finds burgers, hot wings, nachos, and smoked meats available. (At one big event, a local caterer provided a free BBQ spread on-site .) If you arrive hungry, you can order at the bar and the kitchen will prepare it. Menu offerings may vary, but expect casual, hearty fare – sandwiches, burgers, BBQ, and friendly specials (daily wing deals, taco nights, etc.) during regular hours. Beers and cocktails pair well with this bar-food style menu.
Other amenities inside include a modest stage for bands, a few wall-mounted televisions (usually tuned to sports games on some nights) and sometimes a jukebox when no live act is on. The entertainment area sometimes features pool tables or a dartboard off to the side; if you’re into games, look for these in the back corner. The venue is generally cash-only for arcade games. For connectivity, there is no official Wi-Fi for guests, but cellular service is reliable in the building (4G LTE on major carriers) so you can stream or text easily. Cell reception even on the outdoor patio is good.
Finally, note the overall vibe: expect a mixed crowd of ages 20–60 on music nights, mostly in casual attire (jeans, T-shirts, cowboy boots). Some patrons come in leather jackets and bandanas, especially on motorcycle nights. There is no formal dress code – it’s country-chic meets biker bar – but most people lean toward a rugged-casual style. Also, after dark the bar can fill up and get warm, so light long sleeves or a denim vest usually suffice. Before you know it, you’ll feel at home amid the drift of neon light and guitar riffs, which is exactly what the owners intended.
Nearby Amenities
Although Bunnell is a small town, amenities near 1405 Saloon cover essential needs and some dining options. Right across Moody Blvd are a few fast-food and convenience spots. For example, a Burger King is just next door (on the opposite side of Hwy 100), and a McDonald’s is a short walk (about 0.1 miles east) . A couple of pizzerias and delis (like Manny’s Pizzeria and a local sub shop) are also in this strip of businesses. About a 5-minute drive east (along FL-100) is a larger shopping plaza. There you’ll find a Domino’s Pizza, a Panera Bread (0.5 mi away), Panda Express and Chipotle, and other chain eateries for quick bites . If you want sit-down restaurants, the closest ones require a brief drive: Flagler Beach has seafood grills and brewpubs (10–15 min east on Highway 100), and Palm Coast has sidewalk cafes, bar & grills, and sports bars about 5–10 minutes down US-1 (heading south). For late-night cravings, the Bunnell area has few restaurants open past 10pm, so diners often head to Daytona Beach or Palm Coast, or eat beforehand (Angie’s grill, 1405, or fast food) before a night out.
As for lodging, options in Bunnell itself are limited. There are a couple of motels a few blocks north (such as Days Inn & Suites right off I-95 Exit 284, and a no-frills “The Palm Inn” near US-1). For more hotel chains or resorts, most people stay in Palm Coast or Flagler Beach (15 min away) or in Daytona Beach (30 min away) and treat 1405 as a night destination. Vacation rentals and Airbnb’s are also available in the region if you plan an extended trip. Transportation-wise, if you need public transit after an event, note that there’s no direct city bus stop at 1405 Saloon. The nearest bus connections are in Palm Coast along US-1, or via the Amtrak bus (Greyhound/FlixBus) stop in Palm Coast (around 6 miles east). Therefore most visitors advise arranging a car ride, or using Uber/Lyft (though rideshares can be slower in this semi-rural area late at night). Taxis are rare but some local companies can be called ahead. Lastly, for pre-show parking after midnight, there is a strip mall a block away with a 24-hour Wawa and a gas station; it’s safe to park there and walk back if needed.
What Makes This Venue Special
Several things set 1405 Saloon apart from your typical neighborhood bar. First, it’s rooted in Bunnell’s motorcycle and rock culture. The exterior neon sign and interior décor nod to outlaw-saloon style, and the mix of honky-tonk country and classic rock music makes it feel like an old-school biker hangout revived for 2020s Florida. Second, the owners’ local ties and community focus give the place real heart. As one local article noted, Tom and Lisa “have breathed new life” into the old Dog Pound, revitalizing Bunnell nightlife with music and charity events . They participate in local charities (Angel Flight, veterans’ rides, cancer fundraisers) and even celebrate their customers (hosting customers’ birthdays and anniversaries right at the bar). Regulars become like family here, and that reputation draws both bikers and neighbors together.
Third, the venue’s design is unusually open-air for a bar, thanks to those folding windows . Even when inside, you feel connected to the outdoors, which is a big plus on cool winter evenings or scenic Florida nights. The mix of indoor barroom and covered patio dining area is great for summer months and gives the place a festival-like vibe. Fourth, the entertainment roster is really broad. Beyond live bands, no other local venue in Flagler County (outside Flagler Beach) is known for things like jewelry-night, themed dance contests, or hosting a mini-wrestling ring in the parking lot. This variety – dance floor Saturdays, pool table league week nights, big-screen sports, karaoke duets – makes 1405 feel like a one-stop entertainment hub. Even weeknights can be lively with trivia or Karaoke. And because the saloon is one of the only full-service bars in the city, it has captured the crowd from surrounding towns too.
Finally, the food connection adds to its character. Unlike many small bars, 1405 effectively partners with local eateries (the in-house “Angie’s” BBQ kitchen) to offer actual meals. Patrons aren’t just paying for a bar and stage – they get buffalo wings, burgers, brisket, and fries without driving across town. Locals say the food (especially smoked ribs and chicken wings) is "remarkably good for a biker bar," making it not just a late-night spot but also a casual dinner choice. This blend of warm country cooking with cold beers accentuates the Southern hospitality feel that keeps locals coming back.
Visitor Tips and Information
- Arrive Early: For popular shows (especially on Fridays/Saturdays), the floor can fill up fast. Arrive 30–60 minutes before start time to grab good viewing spots or parking. Doors often open at least 45 minutes prior to showtime. On wrestling event pages, “doors 7pm, show 8pm” is common. Early arrivers also beat any cover-charge line.
- Age Policy: Most nights are 21+ due to the bar and late hours. The sign doesn’t always say “No minors,” but staff will ask for ID until about 9pm. (Black lights and live music aren’t exactly toddler-friendly anyway.) However, family-friendly or all-ages events do happen (like weekend matinee wrestling). If you have kids, call ahead to confirm if the next event is all-ages. Under 18s should expect to be seated toward the back away from loudspeakers. Expect 21+ enforcement once evening sets in, and carry valid ID at all times if you plan to drink.
- Dress Code: Casual. Come as you are in jeans, boots, band t-shirts, or biker leathers. Some patrons wear Harley‐style gear or bandanas, but it’s not required. Think “country concert” style. Ladies often wear cowboy boots or comfortable heels. Jackets and coats can be stored on chairs; no formal coat check is available. Comfortable footwear is recommended if you plan to dance.
- What to Bring: Photo ID is a must for the bar. Cash is handy for cover charges (though credit cards are accepted for everything). For outdoor events (wrestling or midday parties), bring a folding chair – organizers routinely advise “bring a chair or stand” . Sunglasses aren’t needed inside, but you may want a sweater for cooler nights on the patio. A camera or phone is fine for pics, but flash photography during a show may annoy performers.
- Bag Policy: Large backpacks and alcohol are not permitted. Daytime backpacks are usually OK; on concert nights security may ask you to inspect your bag. No outside drinks or food can be brought in (there’s enough on-site anyway). Umbrellas (if needed for rain) can be left with staff. Basically, bring personal items (phone, wallet) and leave valuables locked in your car or hotel.
- Accessibility: There is a wheelchair ramp to the side entrance and at least one ADA-accessible restroom. The main areas are ground-level with a wide entry. However, some of the interior floor space can be packed, so a wheelchair might be diverted to the back near the patio doors (which still has a good view). The staff have been reported as helpful to patrons with mobility issues, but if you require any special accommodations it’s wise to call ahead.
- Tipping and Service: The bartenders work hard on busy nights. Expect to tip them (15–20%) if you enjoy your drinks and food. They may also double as ticket-takers for the event, so treat any staff (briefly) like theatre ushers: a quick greeting and thank-you goes a long way. Unlike large venues, 1405 doesn’t have attendants serving you at your table (it’s self-service once inside), but they will bring your food to you if you ask after ordering at the bar.
- Nearby Info: If you’re hungry before a show, the Bob Evans in Flagler Beach (10 min east) is a classic nearby diner. For a quick lunch, there’s also a Jimmy John’s and a deli on Moody Blvd about a mile from the saloon. For overnight stays, the Days Inn (just off I-95) and a couple of budget motels are 5 minutes away; higher-end hotels are in Palm Coast or Daytona if you want nicer accommodations.
What is the capacity of 1405 Saloon?
1405 Saloon is a one-story saloon of roughly 2,139 sq ft . Fire-code capacity is not posted, but in practice it holds about 100–150 people total. There’s a lot of standing room and some seating. Because the lot is large (nearly 3 acres ), many people spill outside when it’s packed, but indoors expect at most around 100 patrons before it feels very crowded. The public parking lot (~20 spots) also limits how many will drive in by car . The friendly staff keeps an eye on crowds, so they won’t oversell capacity.
What kind of events does 1405 Saloon host?
The venue’s calendar is packed with live music (local rock, country, and tribute bands most weekends), karaoke and DJ dance nights. It also hosts novelty shows like stage wrestling (Micro Wrestling Federation) and charity poker runs. You’ll find theme nights (80s rock night, grunge night, burlesque evenings) and sports-viewing parties on big TVs. Regular features include karaoke or open-microphone one evening a week, DJ nights, and fundraiser rides or car shows using the lot. Essentially, any night might have a band, DJ, or special event – check the online schedule or call to see what’s happening.
How and where can I buy tickets for a show at 1405 Saloon?
For most live music nights at 1405 Saloon there is no advance ticket – you can just walk in and pay any cover at the door. When special events (like large concerts or wrestling matches) require tickets, they are typically sold through the event promoter or at the door on the event day. There is no separate box office or central ticket office. If tickets are needed, announcements are made on the Saloon’s Facebook page or posters. Sometimes you can pre-purchase through an online dealer listed in the event ad. Otherwise, arrive early at the Saloon before the doors open and buy tickets at the bar. The venue’s phone (386-313-6303) can also take advance reservations for some shows. Pricing usually runs from about $5–$15 for cover on a big music night, and $20–$30 for specialty events .
Is seating reserved or general admission?
All seating at 1405 Saloon is first-come, first-served. There are no assigned seats or tables; it’s general admission. On concert nights people stand or sit around the stage area in no particular order. There are a few bar stools and tables along the walls, but no reservations are taken. For special events like wrestling, “ringside” tickets (with seating around the ring) might be sold at a premium, but in general every spot in the room (indoor or patio) is open. If you want a good view, arrive early and claim a spot near the stage. Otherwise guests freely mingle or move around during shows.
Where is 1405 Saloon located and how do I get there?
The address is 1405 East Moody Boulevard in Bunnell, FL 32110. It’s on State Road 100 about 8 miles west of Flagler Beach. By car, take I-95 to exit 284 (Florida Highway 100) and head east; 1405 Saloon will be on your right just past the Bunnell city center. If you’re coming from Daytona Beach or the north, drive south on I-95 to exit 284. From Orlando, take either I-4 East to I-95 North, or use US-1 South through St. Augustine. Public transit is limited: Greyhound or FlixBus stops are in Palm Coast (a 10 min drive east), and there is no direct bus or train to Bunnell. Most people reach 1405 by car or rideshare.
What parking options are available?
The saloon has free on-site parking. The parking lot in front of 1405 can hold about 20 vehicles ; there is room for additional spots along the gravel lot edges. During busy events it can fill, so overflow parking is allowed along Moody Blvd and side streets. Many customers park on the grass outside the lot as well. Motorcycles line up easily along the front curb. Street parking on Moody is allowed except in marked no-parking zones. In winter months (when the bar closes later) the small town streets are safe to walk. If you park in a downtown lot or side street, just watch for tow-away zones – but generally late-night parking enforcement is lax in Bunnell.
Can I take public transportation to 1405 Saloon?
Public transit access is very limited. There is no local bus stop at the Saloon. The nearest bus line stops in Palm Coast (about 7 miles east) on Parkshore Drive. Intercity buses (Greyhound/FlixBus) serve nearby stops along I-95 or US-1, such as in Palm Coast or Daytona (each about 10–20 minutes away). The Flagler County public transit does not cover Bunnell. If you fly in, Daytona Beach (DAB) or Orlando (MCO) airports are the closest major airports (60–90 min drive). Once in Bunnell, most visitors rely on driving, rideshares, or local taxi services. Uber/Lyft work, but rideshare cars aren’t super frequent at late hours, so pre-book or arrange a pickup point. In short: the safest bet is to drive or catch a ride from nearby cities.
Are cameras or recording devices allowed?
Yes, personal cameras and phones are generally allowed. Many guests film part of the show or take band photos. However, flash photography can be distracting to performers, so it’s polite to use non-flash on shows. Video-recording is not officially prohibited, but be aware the bar is a smoky, dim-lit environment. Large professional cameras (with big lenses) aren’t common among patrons and might draw a questioning look from security if they think you’re there to do press coverage. For normal phone snapshots and video clips, there’s usually no problem. (One unique tip: the bar’s folding windows make a neat background for selfies with the crowd behind you.)
What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
There is no strict dress code – just come comfortably. Most patrons wear jeans or shorts and casual T-shirts or Western-style shirts. Cowboy boots, bandanas, and leather vests are common, especially among bikers. Women often wear casual tops with boots or skirts. Keep in mind it can be warm by the bar, even if outside feels cool, so layers are wise. If there’s a themed night (80s night, etc.) the 1405 social posts will usually say so – on those nights people often dress up accordingly. In general, though, if you can dance in your outfit and feel comfortable at a rock bar, you’re dressed right for 1405 Saloon.
Can I bring my children?
1405 Saloon is primarily a 21+ establishment, especially after sunset, because it’s a full bar and rock concert venue. Children are usually allowed during afternoon or early-evening all-ages events (like a Sunday wrestling matinee or special family karaoke afternoon), but those are exceptions. If you want to bring kids, verify the event’s age policy ahead of time. When minors are permitted, they typically sit at the back near the patio, away from the loud speakers. After about 8–9pm, expect ID checks at the door – large kids will need an adult. Under Florida law, those under 18 can be on the premises only if they accompany a parent/guardian and aren’t drinking. So yes, you can bring young teens to a matinee show, but not a late-night Friday concert. In doubt, call the venue or check the Facebook event details for “all ages” notes.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
The main entrance is ground-level (with a slight ramp on the side) and there is at least one ADA-compliant restroom. The interior has a flat floor, so a wheelchair can move around the main bar area. On busy nights, it might be easiest to stay near the patio door (it’s a bit wider) or the bar end. The staff are accustomed to assisting guests who need help reaching the bar or stage; they will typically open any swing doors and suggest quieter spots. If you have special needs, it’s best to call ahead, but generally the saloon is accessible for those with limited mobility.
Are outside food or drinks allowed?
No. As with most bars, no outside beverages (alcoholic or otherwise) can be brought in. Also, outside food is typically not permitted. Since 1405 Saloon has its own kitchen, there’s no need to sneak in snacks. The bartenders don’t mind if you bring chewing gum or sealed water bottles, but any opened food or drink from outside will be politely refused. Plan to purchase from the saloon’s menu – the prices are reasonable and popular items (burgers, wings, fries) are available. Tip: If you have a specific dietary restriction (like gluten-free), call ahead to see what the kitchen can prepare.
Is there coat check or storage for personal items?
No formal coat check. On cool evenings people usually just hang jackets or hoodies over chairs. Cell phones, cameras, and small purses or bags are carried by individuals. If you bring a larger bag or backpack, the bartenders may ask you to leave it near the front as a courtesy (the space behind the bar is tight). The venue staff will keep an eye on left items during the show, but anything valuable should really stay with you or locked in your car. Tip: This is a casual barroom; many people keep their wallets and keys in a front pocket rather than a coat pocket.
