The venue continues to refine its guest experience each season, featuring innovations such as a prefab refrigerator-connected beer server that chills entire kegs, a sour server, insulated magic mugs, a mobile order system, and the "Cool Mist Line®" cooling device installed throughout the venue to combat summer heat.
