📝 Policies & House Rules

A: Families are welcome during morning and afternoon hours, we're a café by day and a cocktail lounge by night, so evenings tend to be more adult‑oriented.

A: Yes, well behaved companions are most welcome.

A: Smart casual is recommended, elegant is welcomed, but comfortable attire is acceptable.

  • Daytime - Relaxed & Refined: Come as you are, from morning runs to coffee rituals. Athletic wear is welcome, but keep it neat and intentional.
  • Evening - Elevated & Effortless: As day turns to night, so does the dress code. Think elegant casual: sharp, stylish, and composed. No slippers, flip-flops, gymwear, or sleeveless tops or shorts (for men). Come ready for a night that looks as good as you do. Stay sharp, stylish, and composed. 

A: Yes, we’ve established some house rules. Nothing too serious—just good sense. They’re designed to ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone, including our hardworking team. Here they are, so you know:

  • 1. Feet down, please. Sofas and stools are for sitting - not feet, naps, or yoga. Keep the lounge a lounge. 
  • 2. Dress the part. Smart Casual - Simple, Sharp, and Slightly Iconic. No flip-flops, slippers. Dress like you might run into your ex. Just in case. 
  • 3. Be kind to our people. Our team is here to serve, not referee your drama. No shouting, bullying, or harassment. Please be nice - it looks good on everyone. 
  • 4. Respect the room. Enjoy yourself, but remember there are others in the storyline. Keep the volume, behavior, and personal space respectful. Iconic, not incident report. 
  • 5. Love is love. Disrespect isn't. Everyone gets a seat at Protagonist. No discrimination, harassment, or hate. That storyline ends here. Exit stage left. 
  • 6. Performers are not props. Applaud, tip, and respect boundaries. Touch only with consent.
  • 7.  Drink responsibly. Enjoy responsibly. Know your limits, stay hydrated, and keep regret off the menu.
  • 8. Smoke free, vibe full. No smoking or vaping inside - keep the air as fresh as the cocktails.
  • 9. No outside food & drinks, please. We have coffee, cocktails, and food to keep the plot moving. Outside snacks simply weren't cast for this episode.
  • 10. Handle with care. Our furniture may not have feelings, but they are expensive. Treat them with care "Oops" isn't a payment method.
  • 11.  Keep the vibe going. Stay, enjoy, and help keep Protagonist going - grab a drink, two, or something from the menu. Your support keeps the vibe alive.
  • 12.  Don't be that Protagonist. We love a little drama - just not the kind that needs management. If the vibe turns into an incident report, it's time to exit stage left.
