Guests from Colonialtown check in with a valid photo ID, open a tab, and get an RFID wristband. The wristband unlocks 50 self-pour taps of rotating craft beer, hard seltzer, cider, and cocktails on tap. Pour a taste or a full glass and pay by the ounce. A full bar with cocktails and spirits is staffed if you want a bartender instead of the wall.
Mixed groups land here because one person can stay on seltzer, another can work through the tap wall, and a third can sit at the full bar. Nobody has to commit to a single pitcher. See the self-pour tap room page for the wristband walkthrough.
