If you provide alcohol or illegal substances to a minor, you will be banned from the venue. Permanently. Re-entry is permitted for all patrons 21 years or older. Please see our door staff on the way out to make sure you get a stamp or wristband before exiting to prevent re-entry issues. All bags are subject to search upon entry. There is no re-entry for patrons under 21. Patrons under 21 may exit to the back patio for fresh air but will not be granted re-entry if they step outside the gated area. No exceptions. The Top Hat does not allow any professional photo, video or audio recording unless it has been pre-approved by the artist and the Top Hat. Flash photography is never allowed, as it disrupts the experience of artists and guests. If you are interested in filming or photographing events please contact our media director.

Patrons under 21 may use this area but must stay within the gated area. Any patron under 21 that steps outside of the gated during an event will not be allowed back inside of the venue.
