About The Warehouse
The Warehouse is a multi-purpose live event venue known for its industrial charm and versatile space. Housed in a repurposed warehouse building, it blends historic character with modern amenities. The venue can accommodate around 1,000 guests indoors, making it an ideal mid-sized location for concerts, cultural events, and community gatherings. Exposed brick walls, vaulted ceilings, and steel beams give The Warehouse a distinctive urban atmosphere, while sophisticated lighting and sound systems deliver a high-quality experience. Since its opening in 2018, The Warehouse has become a notable fixture in South Holland’s entertainment scene – treasured for its unique vibe and its commitment to showcasing a diverse range of events. Whether it’s an electronic music night or an art exhibition, the venue’s flexible design and passionate staff ensure every event is memorable.
Events and Programming
The Warehouse offers an eclectic mix of events, reflecting its role as a cultural hub. On any given month, you might find live rock bands, electronic dance music parties with renowned DJs, indie concerts, or even film screenings and art installations filling the schedule. This diversity in programming means there’s always something new happening. One weekend could feature a local band’s album release show, and the next might host an international DJ spinning house and techno tracks into the early hours. The venue has also been used for community events like vintage markets, theatre performances, and creative workshops, making use of its spacious floor and outdoor areas.
Throughout 2020 to 2025, The Warehouse remained adaptable with its programming. After a brief pause in early 2020, it returned with safely managed, smaller-scale shows and gradually scaled back up to full-capacity concerts as conditions allowed. Notable recent events include summer open-air gatherings where the large terrace becomes a beer garden with food stalls, and collaborative nights with local festivals that turned The Warehouse into an official after-party venue. Regular club nights have become a staple, including themed music nights such as retro 80s parties and cutting-edge techno evenings. The Warehouse has built a reputation for hosting both emerging local talent and established artists, giving fans a chance to see big names in an intimate setting. Ticket prices vary by event – smaller local shows might be as affordable as €10-€15, while larger concerts or special DJ nights can range from around €25 up to €50 for premium acts. Regardless of the event, attendees can expect a well-organised experience with a vibrant atmosphere.
Tickets and Booking
Tickets for events at The Warehouse are typically sold online through official channels. The venue’s website and authorised ticket vendors list all upcoming shows, allowing visitors to purchase passes in advance with a few clicks. It’s recommended to buy ahead of time, especially for popular performances, as many events here tend to sell out due to the venue’s limited capacity. In addition to online booking, the venue sometimes operates a box office at the entrance on event nights for last-minute ticket sales, provided the event isn’t already at full capacity. There are often tiered pricing options – for example, early bird discounts for those who book early, standard general admission prices, and occasionally VIP tickets for special events that include perks like dedicated viewing areas or meet-and-greets.
For highly anticipated shows, presale announcements may be made weeks in advance. Fans are advised to follow The Warehouse’s social media or newsletter for alerts on when tickets go live. Payment for tickets is generally cashless – major credit cards and Dutch debit cards are accepted online and at the venue. If an event allows door sales, arriving when doors open gives the best chance to snag any remaining tickets. Keep in mind that some events have age restrictions (such as 18+ for late-night dance parties), so ensure you meet the requirements when booking. Refund and exchange policies depend on the event organiser, but typically tickets are non-refundable unless an event is postponed or cancelled. Always double-check the terms during booking. By securing your ticket in advance, you’ll guarantee your spot and avoid disappointment for The Warehouse’s in-demand nights.
Seating and Layout
The Warehouse’s layout is designed for flexibility, catering to both standing-room concerts and seated functions. The main floor is a wide-open space without fixed seating, which means it can be configured in various ways depending on the event. For most music concerts and club nights, the floor is general admission standing. This gives fans the freedom to move around, dance, and find their perfect spot. Thanks to the venue’s rectangular, pillar-free design, sightlines are clear from almost anywhere inside – you can see the stage well whether you’re right up front by the performers or towards the back near the bar.
When events require seating – such as film screenings, theater-style performances, or conferences – the venue brings in chairs and can arrange them either in rows facing the stage or around tables for cabaret-style setups. Even in a seated configuration, every seat tends to be relatively close to the action because of the venue’s mid-sized dimensions. There are also a few raised platform areas and the outdoor terrace, which in some events might serve as VIP sections or lounge spaces. If a VIP ticket is available, VIP areas might offer bar tables or reserved spots with an elevated view, ensuring a comfortable experience away from the densest crowds.
For the best experience at a standing concert, many regulars aim to arrive early and stand center-front, directly facing the stage for immersive sound and interaction. If you prefer a bit more space, the sides of the floor or near the back can offer a calmer experience while still providing good views and clear sound. The Warehouse is praised for its acoustics – the combination of high ceilings and acoustic treatments means that music sounds crisp throughout the hall. One tip: avoid standing too close to the speaker stacks if you have sensitive hearing, as the volume up front can be intense (disposable earplugs are often available at the bar or door). Overall, the layout ensures that whether you’re dancing in the crowd or watching from a more relaxed spot, you’ll feel part of the energy while remaining comfortable.
Getting There and Parking
The Warehouse is located in the Zuid-Holland province, in a revitalised industrial area not far from the city centre of Rotterdam. Its address is along the harbour district, making it easily reachable by both car and public transport. If you’re driving, navigate to Schiehavenweg 14 in Rotterdam – the venue is well-signposted. There is a dedicated parking area right in front of The Warehouse where VIP guests or early arrivals can park for free, as well as additional street parking in the surrounding blocks. In the evenings and on weekends, finding a spot is usually straightforward, though on particularly busy event nights it’s wise to arrive a bit early to secure parking. Street parking in this area is often free after business hours, but be sure to check local signage for any restrictions or daytime fees.
For those not driving, public transport is very convenient. Tram line 8 from Rotterdam Centraal Station has a stop only a few minutes’ walk from The Warehouse, with the journey taking about 15 minutes. Several bus routes also pass through the harbour area, and the nearest metro station (Coolhaven) is roughly a 10-minute walk away. If you prefer cycling, you’ll find bike racks right by The Warehouse’s entrance for secure bicycle parking.
Rideshares and taxis can drop you off right at the door. Simply provide The Warehouse’s name or address, and drivers will locate it easily. After the show, you’ll typically see taxis waiting nearby, or you can book a ride via a mobile app. Since the venue is close to central Rotterdam, a taxi trip to most hotels or city landmarks is quick (usually 5–10 minutes). If you plan to use public transport for your return, be mindful of the schedule for the last tram or metro (around midnight). On Friday and Saturday nights, Rotterdam’s special night buses are an option, but many attendees choose taxis or rideshares when events run late into the night.
Inside the Venue
Upon entering The Warehouse, visitors are greeted by the raw and stylish interior that gives the venue its character. The entry process is typically smooth: tickets are scanned electronically at the door, and friendly security staff conduct brief bag checks to ensure everyone’s safety. Once inside, you’ll find yourself on the main floor with the stage usually set up at one end of the hall. The high ceiling overhead is criss-crossed with professional lighting rigs and speakers, hinting at the impressive production quality the venue is capable of. During events, dynamic lighting and effects transform the space, washing the old warehouse in color and motion and creating an immersive environment.
The atmosphere inside shifts with the event. It can feel like a pulsing nightclub with lasers sweeping over a dancing crowd during a DJ set, or take on a mellow, ambient tone during a daytime art expo. Generally, The Warehouse manages to be both intimate and energetic – the space isn’t enormous, so there’s a communal vibe among the crowd, yet the tall ceilings and open layout give everyone room to breathe. The concrete floor is typically kept clear for standing and dancing, but along the sides you might find a few high-top cocktail tables or lounge seats (depending on the event format) for those who want to take a brief break while still staying in the action.
Food and drink are certainly part of the experience at The Warehouse. The venue features a full-service bar along one side of the hall, stocked with a range of beverages – from local craft beers and wines to classic cocktails and soft drinks. Prices are comparable to other city venues; for example, a beer or soda is reasonably priced, and often you’ll use a token system or contactless card payment for speed of service. At music events, the bar remains open throughout the show so you can grab a refreshment whenever you like (perhaps between sets). For longer events or all-day festivals, you’ll likely find food options as well: the outdoor terrace often hosts gourmet food trucks or snack stalls. These vendors serve up local favorites and international bites, meaning you won’t go hungry if you’re spending many hours at an event. Inside, there are a few standing counters and ledges where you can rest your drink or snack while still keeping an eye on the stage.
Facilities at The Warehouse are designed with guest comfort in mind. Restrooms are located toward the rear of the building – with separate facilities for men and women, as well as an accessible toilet – and are kept clean and well-stocked throughout the night. A dedicated coat check is available near the entrance, which is a welcome feature especially during colder months. For a small fee (usually a couple of euros per item), you can securely leave your jacket and bags and enjoy the event unencumbered. Do note that the coat check tends to get busy immediately after the show ends; some guests beat the rush by stepping out a few minutes before the final song to retrieve their items early, but staff work efficiently to return everyone’s belongings in a timely manner.
Connectivity inside The Warehouse is generally good. Cell phone reception is solid across most of the venue, so you should be able to send texts or upload a quick photo of the show. The organisers occasionally offer free Wi-Fi during special events (such as conferences or tech showcases), but for a typical concert or club night there’s no public Wi-Fi – your mobile data will suffice. Keep in mind that with the music and crowd noise, making phone calls from inside isn’t practical; if you need to take a call, it’s best to step outside to the terrace or entry area where it’s quieter. In all, you’ll find that while you’re inside The Warehouse you can stay connected as needed, but most people are too busy dancing or enjoying the show to be on their phones for long.
Nearby Amenities
The Warehouse’s location near Rotterdam’s city centre means visitors have plenty of amenities around to enhance their outing. In the immediate area around the venue, and a bit further towards downtown, there are options for both dining and drinks. A couple of waterfront restaurants sit within walking distance – perfect for a pre-show dinner with a view of the harbour. For greater variety, you can venture to nearby districts like Witte de Withstraat or Nieuwe Binnenweg, which are only a short tram ride or drive away. These areas are full of restaurants and cafes to suit all tastes, from trendy fusion eateries to traditional Dutch pubs and quick bite options. Grabbing a meal or drink in these neighbourhoods before heading to The Warehouse is a popular choice.
If you’re looking to continue the fun after an event, there are a few bars in the harbour district itself that stay open late, offering a relaxed spot for a post-show drink. Alternatively, Rotterdam’s more bustling nightlife zones in the city centre are just minutes away and feature clubs, cocktail bars, and music lounges that run into the early hours. For those visiting from out of town, staying overnight is easy: there’s a boutique hotel in the nearby Lloyd district (within walking distance of the venue), and numerous hotels ranging from budget to luxury in Rotterdam’s centre just a short taxi or transit ride away. The surrounding area is generally safe and quiet at night, so whether you’re finding your car, catching a tram, or walking back to your hotel, you can feel at ease after the show.
What Makes This Venue Special
The Warehouse stands out among venues in the region for many reasons, combining a rich sense of character with community spirit. First and foremost is its architecture and setting: few places let you enjoy live music or art in an actual historic warehouse by the harbour. The building’s original purpose – storing goods in decades past – can still be felt in the rugged details like old brickwork and tall industrial windows. Yet it has been thoughtfully renovated to serve modern needs, turning a once utilitarian space into a canvas for performance and creativity. Attending an event here isn’t just about the show on stage; it’s about soaking in the ambience of a location where old meets new. Many visitors find it thrilling to dance under century-old rafters or to browse art in a space where forklifts once trundled; it gives a sense of authenticity and soul that a generic hall simply can’t match.
Another aspect that makes The Warehouse special is its cultural impact on the local scene. Since its opening, it has provided a platform for the The Hague/Rotterdam area’s arts and music community to thrive. In a province filled with large arenas and traditional theatres, The Warehouse carved out a niche as the go-to spot for alternative and underground culture in an accessible, welcoming setting. It’s a place where an experimental electronic music night can coexist with a community theater performance later that week. This genre-blending approach has fostered a vibrant community of artists and audiences. Local residents credit The Warehouse for injecting new energy into the neighbourhood, spurring nearby businesses (like cafes and shops) and contributing to the area’s revitalisation.
The venue has also been the site of some truly memorable moments that live on in local lore. Fans still talk about the surprise appearance of a famous DJ at what was expected to be a low-key Warehouse party, and about the time a rising Dutch rock band played an encore out on the terrace under the night sky because the crowd just wouldn’t let them leave. The Warehouse’s flexibility – with its indoor stage and outdoor space – means it can host these sorts of spontaneous, magical experiences. Its size adds to the magic as well: it’s big enough to attract notable performers, but small enough that those performers often mingle with the crowd after their sets, creating personal memories for fans. Artists frequently praise the enthusiastic yet respectful audiences here, noting that the intimacy of The Warehouse lets them form a real connection with everyone in the room.
Visitor Tips and Information
To make the most of your time at The Warehouse, it helps to know a few insider tips and important details ahead of your visit:
Accessibility: The Warehouse is committed to being inclusive. The entrance and main floor are on ground level, so wheelchair users and those with limited mobility can enter without stairs. Inside, the open layout makes it relatively easy to navigate through the crowd. An accessible toilet is available on-site as well. If you have specific accessibility needs or require a companion to assist you, it’s a good idea to reach out to the venue in advance – they can often arrange early entry or find a suitable viewing spot to ensure you’re comfortable.
What to Bring: Be sure to have a valid ID with you, especially if the event is 18+ or if you plan on buying alcoholic drinks (the bar staff will check IDs for age). The venue and its vendors mostly use cashless payments, so bring a debit or credit card; it’s faster and easier than cash, and some events won’t accept cash at all. A small bag is fine for your essentials, but avoid bringing large backpacks as they may not be allowed in (or you’ll be asked to store them at the coat check). Ear protection is a smart idea – the sound system is powerful, and disposable earplugs are usually available, but bringing your own comfortable earplugs can improve your experience while keeping your hearing safe. Dress in layers or bring a light jacket if it’s a cooler night; even though it might get warm inside with the crowd, you’ll appreciate a jacket for when you step outside or on your way home.
Venue Policies: The Warehouse maintains a friendly, laid-back environment, but there are a few rules to keep in mind. Smoking (including e-cigarettes) is not permitted anywhere inside – if you need to smoke, you can step out to the designated smoking area on the terrace, where ashtrays are provided. Outside food and beverages aren’t allowed in, so finish up any snacks or drinks before you enter. Professional cameras or recording equipment require prior permission; however, taking photos or short videos with your phone for personal use is typically fine (just avoid using flash). The security team is present at events for everyone’s safety – they’ll perform a quick check at the entrance and keep an eye on things during the show. They’re generally approachable and helpful, so feel free to ask them if you have any concerns while you’re there. The key is to be considerate: look out for fellow attendees, don’t block anyone’s view unnecessarily, and follow any instructions given (like clearing pathways or not leaning on stage barriers).
Timing and Entry: Plan to arrive a bit before the show’s start time. Doors usually open 30 minutes to an hour prior to the event. Arriving early not only guarantees you a good spot (especially for standing shows where being up front is part of the fun) but also makes entry easier – you’ll breeze through ticket scanning and any security checks with minimal waiting. Once inside, you can grab a drink, find your preferred spot on the floor, and settle in as the venue fills up. If you have tickets at the door or need to visit the box office window, definitely come as soon as doors open to sort that out without missing any of the performance. After the event, keep in mind that the venue is in a mixed-use urban area with some residents nearby, so it’s courteous to keep your voice down as you head out. Fortunately, the exit leads you directly to the front parking area and street, where you can quickly get a taxi or walk to the tram stop without wandering through quiet residential blocks.
Age Restrictions and Dress Code: Always double-check the age policy for the event you’re attending. Many of The Warehouse’s nighttime events are 18+ (no minors allowed, as alcohol is being served and the vibe is adult-oriented). Some concerts and daytime events are open to younger audiences or all ages, often with the stipulation that under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. If you’re under the listed age, unfortunately you won’t be permitted entry, so save yourself the trip and choose an appropriate event. As for how to dress, The Warehouse doesn’t enforce a strict dress code – the emphasis is on comfort and personal expression. You’ll see people in casual jeans and sneakers, others in club-ready outfits, and maybe even some costumes on a themed night! Wear something you feel comfortable standing and dancing in. Sensible shoes are highly recommended because you might be on your feet on a concrete floor for a while. And if you’re coming in winter, remember you can check your big coat at the door. Ultimately, come as you like, and be ready to enjoy the show without worrying about your outfit.
What is the capacity of The Warehouse?
The Warehouse can hold approximately 1,000 people indoors. This capacity makes it a mid-sized venue – large enough to host popular acts and energetic crowds, but still intimate compared to arena-sized venues. During sold-out events, the space fills up with fans, but the smart layout and high ceilings keep it from feeling too cramped or overwhelming.
Does The Warehouse have seating or is it standing room only?
It depends on the event. Many concerts and club nights at The Warehouse are general admission standing, which means the main floor is open for the crowd to move and dance. However, for certain events like film screenings, theatre performances, or conferences, the venue can set up seating. In those cases, portable chairs or tables are arranged to face the stage. There are no permanent seats installed, so the configuration is flexible. Always check the event details – if it’s a seated show, it will be indicated, otherwise assume it’s standing room.
Where can I buy tickets for events at The Warehouse?
Tickets are available online via The Warehouse’s official website or through authorised ticket vendors and platforms. Each event usually has a dedicated ticket link on the venue’s site or social media. It’s advisable to purchase in advance because popular events often sell out. If an event isn’t sold out, you might be able to buy a ticket at the door on the night, but that’s not guaranteed and door sales are usually first-come, first-served. Always use official channels to avoid any ticket scams or invalid tickets.
Is there parking available at The Warehouse and is it free?
Yes, The Warehouse offers parking options. There’s a small parking area immediately in front of the venue where early arrivals (and VIPs for certain events) can park, and it is free of charge. Beyond that, the surrounding streets have public parking spaces. In the evenings and on weekends, street parking in this area is typically free or low-cost, but always check the signs to be sure. On very busy nights, these spots can fill up, so it doesn’t hurt to get there a bit early if driving. Additionally, the area is safe for parking, but it’s still wise not to leave valuables visible in your car.
What public transport options are there to get to The Warehouse?
Public transit to The Warehouse is very convenient. The easiest way is to take Tram 8 from Rotterdam Central Station; it stops only a few minutes’ walk from the venue. The ride from Centraal to the venue’s stop is roughly 15 minutes. If you’re coming via metro, the closest stations are Coolhaven or Delfshaven (on lines A, B, or C), which are about a 10-minute walk. Several city bus lines also service the general area. If you’re coming from further away, you can take a train to Rotterdam and then hop on a tram or grab a short taxi ride to The Warehouse. The key is that the venue is near the city centre, so it’s well-connected by transit.
Are there age restrictions for events at The Warehouse?
Age restrictions depend on the event. Most nighttime concerts and DJ parties at The Warehouse are 18+ (you must be at least 18 years old to enter) because they run late and alcohol is served. Some early-evening shows, weekend daytime events, or cultural performances may be open to all ages or have a 16+ guideline (with under-16s accompanied by an adult). Always check the specific event announcement or ticket information for age requirements. Security will check IDs at the door for 18+ events, so bring valid identification. If you’re under the specified age, unfortunately you won’t be allowed in, even if you have a ticket.
Does The Warehouse have a coat check?
Yes, there is a coat check at The Warehouse. It’s located just inside the entrance. For a small fee, you can check your coat, backpack, or other items and get a ticket to pick them up at the end of the night. Many people use it, especially during the winter months or when they have helmets (for cyclists) or large bags. The line to drop off and pick up can get a bit busy right when the event ends, but it moves quickly. Using the coat check is highly recommended so you don’t have to carry your jacket in the crowd.
Is The Warehouse accessible for wheelchair users and those with disabilities?
Yes, The Warehouse is wheelchair-friendly and strives to accommodate all guests. The entrance is on ground level with no steps, and once inside the main floor is flat and open. There is an accessible restroom available. During crowded events it can be a bit challenging to navigate, but staff are very helpful – you can contact the venue ahead of time to arrange early entry or a reserved spot if needed. Guide dogs are allowed for those who require them. If you have any special requirements, it’s best to reach out beforehand so the team can assist you upon arrival.
What are the food and drink options inside The Warehouse?
The Warehouse has a full bar where you can buy drinks throughout the event. They offer a good selection of beers (including local brews), wine, and a range of spirits for mixed drinks, as well as non-alcoholic options like soda and water. Drinks are usually purchased using tokens or directly by card, depending on the event. Food-wise, for most regular concerts there might be only light snacks (like crisps or candy) available at the bar. However, during special events or festivals at The Warehouse, they often bring in food vendors or food trucks which set up on the outdoor terrace. These can include anything from burger stands and pizza to ethnic street food. If having a full dinner is important to you, it’s a good idea to eat before coming, unless the event has been advertised to have food stalls.
How early should I arrive for an event at The Warehouse?
It’s wise to arrive around the time doors open, or even 15 minutes before that if you want to be at the front of the queue. Doors typically open 30 minutes to an hour before the show starts. By getting there early, you’ll have time to go through security, check your coat, get a drink and find a good spot without rushing. If you have general admission tickets and you’re eager to be up front by the stage, arriving early is essential. For reserved-seat events (if any), early arrival still helps you get settled comfortably and avoid last-minute crowding in the lobby. Overall, aim to be at the venue no later than the official door opening time for the smoothest experience.
Can I take pictures or record video during shows?
For most shows, taking photos or short video clips on your phone for personal use is perfectly fine. Many attendees snap a few photos of their favourite moments. Just be courteous – avoid using flash (it can distract performers and other guests) and don’t hold your phone up for long periods, blocking others’ view. Professional photography or videography (with DSLR cameras, tripods, or long recordings) is not allowed unless you have prior permission or a press pass. If an artist or event has a strict no-photo policy, staff will usually make an announcement or put up signs. As a rule of thumb, casual photos are okay, but focus on enjoying the live experience rather than filming the whole thing.
Is re-entry allowed if I leave in the middle of an event?
Generally, The Warehouse has a no re-entry policy. Once your ticket is scanned and you’re inside, if you exit the venue (beyond the designated smoking terrace) you likely won’t be allowed back in on the same ticket. This is standard practice to prevent pass-outs or ticket sharing. The good news is the venue has everything you should need during the event – bars, restrooms, and a smoking area – so there’s little reason to leave. If there’s an emergency and you absolutely must step out, talk to the security staff; they might give a hand stamp or make a note, but re-admittance is not guaranteed. It’s best to plan to stay for the duration of the event.
What time do events at The Warehouse usually end?
Typical weeknight concerts at The Warehouse tend to finish around 11:00 PM or midnight. On weekends, events — especially DJ-led club nights — can run later. It’s not uncommon for a Friday or Saturday night party to go on until 2:00 or 3:00 AM. Some special events might even approach a 4:00 AM closing. Each event will have its own schedule, so it’s best to check the details on your ticket or the venue’s announcement. Keep in mind that if the event has an outdoor component (like music on the terrace), local noise regulations might require that part to end earlier than the indoor festivities.
Is there a dress code for The Warehouse?
No – The Warehouse does not enforce a strict dress code. Attendees usually dress casually and comfortably. You’ll see a bit of everything, from jeans and band T-shirts to stylish outfits for a night out. The general advice is to wear what makes you comfortable for standing, dancing, or moving around. Many people opt for sneakers or flat shoes since there’s a lot of standing. Unless an event specifically announces a theme or dress requirement (which is rare, except maybe for a costume party or themed night), you can come in normal attire. As long as your clothing isn’t offensive or hazardous, you’ll be absolutely fine.
Can I rent The Warehouse for a private event or party?
Yes, The Warehouse is available for private hire, depending on its event calendar. The venue’s versatile layout makes it suitable for a range of events: companies have booked it for product launches and corporate parties, and individuals have used it for things like large birthday celebrations or even indie film shoots. If you’re interested in renting The Warehouse, you should contact the management via their official contact channels (email or phone) well in advance. They can provide details on capacity for different setups, available dates, pricing, and what equipment (sound, lighting, stage, etc.) is included. Keep in mind that because The Warehouse does host its own public events, private events are scheduled around those, so flexibility with dates is helpful.
Are there hotels nearby for visitors coming to an event?
Absolutely. The Warehouse’s central location means there are several accommodation options nearby. There’s a boutique hotel just down the road in the Lloyd district, which is very convenient if you want to stay within walking distance. Additionally, Rotterdam’s city centre (only a few minutes away by tram or taxi) has dozens of hotels, from budget-friendly to five-star, so you can easily find one that suits your needs. Some visitors also look in the Delfshaven area for charming guesthouses or B&Bs, which are close by. It’s wise to book in advance if you know an event will draw a lot of out-of-town fans, but generally finding a room in the city is not difficult.
Can I pay with cash at The Warehouse or is it cashless?
The Warehouse has largely moved to cashless payments for efficiency. At the bar and ticketing areas, you’ll typically pay with a debit card, credit card, or contactless payment (like a smartphone app). Some events use a token system where you buy drink tokens with your card, then exchange the tokens for drinks. It’s best to assume you won’t be using much (if any) cash at the venue. If you do bring cash, note that there isn’t an ATM on site, so withdraw beforehand if needed. Most guests find using cards very convenient and it speeds up service at the bar.
