Listen, this venue itself was nice enough, but the drunken yokels all over the place were not enough to convince me to want to come back for my $70 tickets for a culinary related speaking event on vacation. Do you know how many drunken/clumsy idiots I saw fall down, or fall up, the balcony stairs? Entertaining sure, but pathetic and sad.
Most respectable venues limit the alcohol consumption to the bar/outside the performance space, and with good reason.
