first things first
are you moving?
All events are 21+ unless specifically noted. There is a two drink minimum for each guest.
No, Almost Famous will remain at 2271 S Vasco Road for the foreseeable future.
when should we arrive?
Generally, the venue and wine bar open an hour before showtime. If you are trying to secure lounge seats to a busy show, this is the best time to arrive.
On Friday and Saturday nights, the main act usually starts at 7:30 pm, with doors at 6:30 pm. Bands typically have a break midway through the set.
Please visit the ticket page of the event for specific times, as set times are subject to change.
parking
We recommend parking along Research Drive. Limited parking is also available on Vasco Road.
ticket sales and refunds
Ticket prices are subject to change, and sales are FINAL unless there is a band cancellation.
If you need to cancel your tickets, you can log into your Eventbrite account (www.eventbrite.com) and request a refund, as long as this is done seven days or more in advance. If you have trouble with this, please contact Eventbrite’s customer support by visiting https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/.
Eventbrite’s fees are ALWAYS non-refundable.
ADA
In accordance with ADA laws, please inform our staff of any accessible seating needs at time of ticket purchase. We require at least 24 hours notice prior to showtime in order to reserve ADA seats. Please contact us at support@almostfamouswine.com.
first come, first served?
Has the show started, and you spot an empty table?
If the table is in the lounge area, go ahead and snag it. These tables are first come, first served, unless the staff has put down a sign stating otherwise.
In the stage room, you can purchase a bistro table or high top table seating up until 8:15 pm.
Bistro table or high top table seats cannot be claimed first come, first served until after 8:15pm.
beverages
No outside beverages, including non-alcoholic beverages.
With a menu of 15 wines in diverse styles and sophisticated non-alcoholic options, there’s something for everyone. Water is available for purchase from the bar.
We are by law a tasting room, and do not serve alcoholic beer or spirits at public events. Believe us, we’ve looked into it, but a different license would greatly restrict our ability to sell our own wines, and we’re not set up to be a restaurant.
Beer can be offered at private events, when you rent our venue. You can also have a full bar, provided you are working with a caterer with the correct license.
food
Bring your own dinner! (Or snacks! Or dessert!)
Outside food is welcome, but please bus your table of any food items when you are finished. You are responsible for cleaning up the food and packaging you bring or purchase.
On a typical weekend night, food trucks are available around Vasco Row, steps away from our venue. Check http://www.vascorow.com and http://www.altamontbeerworks.com to see what’s available.

lost and found
We don’t have a dedicated lost and found, but lost items are occasionally kept at the bar for a short amount of time. The venue is not responsible for any personal property lost at the venue. Please don’t leave items at your table unattended.
i’m having trouble buying tickets
Oof! We’re sorry you’re having trouble with Eventbrite.
First off, if the seat is gray on the Eventbrite “venue map,” that means it is already sold, in someone’s shopping cart, or not available for sale.
Second, sometimes Eventbrite can be a bit glitchy on phones. If you can’t see the “checkout” button on your phone, flick your finger to see the very bottom of the ticket purchase window.
Finally, if your issue is related to using refund credit, remember that you need to be logged into your Eventbrite account. Then, your credit should appear automatically at checkout.
We do not support ticket buying over the phone or email. This is because your preferred seats can sell out before we can return your call.
Is your issue something different? You can reach out at support@almostfamous.wine.
