Matthew and Kinzie have decided to provide all food and beverage items for their guests. This being said, the only cash you will want to bring is to tip the bartenders. Please note, if you look questionably underage, you must bring and provide your ID. The bartender has the right to refuse anyone an alcoholic beverage if they do not look of age and cannot provide proof of age.
