You kind person! The best way you can help your independent neighborhood music venue survive an indefinite, pandemic-induced closure is to write to your state and local representatives. Let them know you think that local music venues are at least as important as local golf courses and should be considered for public relief assistance. Check out the Independent Venue Coalition for more information on how you can make a difference.

Firearms, large knives, fireworks or explosives, drugs, outside alcohol, large bags, musical instruments or noise makers, large signs, spray paint, replica weapons, costume masks, any items determined by our security staff that could be used as a weapon, used to threaten other guests, used to disrupt events. This list is subject to change without notice. Only on-duty law enforcement is allowed to carry firearms on our property.

We allow bags, parcels, gifts, boxes, etc smaller than 16”x16”x8”. All bags that are allowed into the building will be thoroughly searched. It is our security staff’s discretion to allow or not allow any bags even if they are of correct size. We kindly ask that you avoid bringing large bags if at all possible.

We hold all lost items for 30 days. If you have an item you are missing within the last 30 days please contact us at info@mississippistudios.com, please provide a description of the item including make, color, shape, etc. We typically have a large number of items so being as descriptive as possible is very helpful for us to try and find it for you.

If you are sure you left it here, just come by during operating hours and check-in with the staff. If you are unsure send us an email at info@mississippistudios.com and we can take a look for you. We shred any unclaimed cards after 30 days.

We want everyone to have the best possible experience when coming to our events. Please contact us at info@mississippistudios.com and provide us with details like what event you are planning to attend and how we can best accommodate your needs. We do our best to find the best location for you and your guests but have limited space and have to ensure that everyone is safe and as comfortable as possible.

No. Our OLCC liquor license does not allow for us to have minors mixed with over 21 year olds when our events are listed as 21+.

We accept all IDs listed on the OLCC list of acceptable IDs; Valid State Issued Drivers Licenses or ID cards, Valid Passports, and Valid Military IDs. Valid means not expired and unaltered. The OLCC defines ‘State’ as a United State or protectorate. If you are a guest traveling from out of country we suggest bringing your passport.

If a show is listed as 21 and over or you wish to drink an adult beverage and appear under the age 30 we will ask for your ID. State law requires us to verify the age of anyone who appears under the age 26 by using one of their approved forms of ID.

If you appear to be visibly intoxicated we reserve the right to refuse access to anyone, regardless of being a ticket holder or not.

When an event is listed as general admission it means all seating and standing locations are first come first serve. Some of our events are fully seated and general admission which just means first come first serve seating. Make sure to not leave open seats between you and your neighbor so all groups can find seating.

When an event is listed as fully seated it means we have seating throughout the venue all the way up to the front of the stage and do not have any areas for standing or dancing.

Yes! Food and beverage purchased from Bar Bar are allowed in the venue for most shows. Just no glass cups please!

Just send us a note at info@mississippistudios.com! We love hosting events!

You can email booking@mississippistudios.com. Please understand that we have little to no control over opening spots for national touring acts and our calendar fills up pretty quickly. All submissions are considered but not all are responded to.

The majority of our tickets are digital and you can just simply share a screenshot of the ticket you want to share. If you have other order needs please contact EventBrite customer service.

Typically not, but sometimes. Best way to find out about additional tickets is to sign up for our mailing list. We do not offer a waiting list for available tickets.

Absolutely, the first stop for ticketing related questions is with the EventBrite customer service team. If they are unavailable or unable to assist please email us info@mississippistudios.com

Unfortunately we cannot assist with orders placed on 3rd party ticketing platforms as we have no access or control over them. We do also have to caution purchasing tickets from strangers or on Craigslist, we see plenty of people get ripped off and it breaks our heart when we cannot help.

All ticket sales are final and we have a no refund policy in most circumstances. You are welcome to share your tickets with a friend or someone who can attend.

We will email ticket purchasers directly and post updated information on our website and social media channels.

Mississippi Avenue has street parking only. If you’re having trouble finding a spot, try going a couple blocks off the main avenue - there is typically plenty of parking on the side streets.

Absolutely, we’re big fans of our Bar Bar burger and we’re not ashamed of it, but if you're looking to explore what the neighborhood has to offer we suggest checking out Radar (right next door), Mee-Sen Thai Eatery, Wolf & Bear’s Falafel or Uchu Sushi.

It depends on the event, but generally it is no professional photography, flash is discouraged, and please don’t be a distraction to your fellow show goers.

We often don’t know the official schedule until the day of the show and even then it is subject to change. Most events have a door time and start time listed and we do our best to start every event as close to ontime as possible. Typically opening acts play for 30-45 minutes.
