ACCESSIBILITY
All customer spaces inside Songbyrd are accessible to a wheelchair, and we have one ADA bathroom stall; all restrooms, including ADA, are gender-neutral bathrooms. Nearly all of our live shows are standing-room, with some barstool seating on the side.
If you need to sit, stools are available. Please let any of our staff know, and they will be happy to get you set up with everything you need. Arriving on the early side can make this simpler, but they’ll be able to work it out regardless. Please note we cannot add more stools, and the area is in a fixed location, so there is limited ADA seating for every show. For sold-out shows, you will need to email us in advance to ensure we can accommodate you. If you want to plan in advance, you can contact us at info@songbyrddc.com and provide us with details like what event you have purchased tickets for and how we can best accommodate your needs. We will do our best to accommodate you, but we do have limited space and have to ensure that everyone is safe and as comfortable as possible.
