Indulge in all-new specialty cocktails and snacks at The Courtside Bar adjoining the interior garden, or sit down for dinner and drinks at the award-winning The Gardner Café featuring a full menu of sweet and savory dishes to fulfill your culinary, as much as your cultural, appetites!

The Courtside Bar

And a changing array of “Courtside Bites” (available for just $1) will adequately sustain you to explore the galleries and art activities that await.   

The Courtside Bar accepts cash and all major credit cards.
