Vault 31 Bar House Policies and FAQs

These are our house and video game policies.

HOUSE POLICIES:
RULES: Yes it does.

  • Don’t be an asshole!: Being an asshole to other patrons, Vault 31 staff, or Vault 31 equipment will get you a one way ticket out of Vault 31 and into the wasteland. You may also see an asshole tax on your tab. DON’T BE THAT PERSON!

  • We are 21+. Please have your valid ID on your person at all times, we may ask for it multiple times. We do not accept expired, or highly damaged ID’s.

  • IF YOU ARE SICK, OR FEEL SICK. PLEASE STAY THE FUCK HOME.

  • Please make all orders at the bar under the order sign. Sorry, we do not provide table service.

  • Absolutely NO outside food or drink allowed anywhere in the establishment. Yes, that includes water bottles. No, we will not smell your fucking water bottle, just don’t bring it in, we will serve you water. (acceptations for birthday desserts upon approval ONLY)

  • Please sit at tables and chairs the intended way.

  • We will not serve visibly intoxicated patrons, no matter how “fine” they are. 

  • Hand sanitizer is available near the entrance and exit, sofa coffee tables, and around the bar. Please use it to disinfect your hands (Please only when necessary, and not to over sanitize). Hand sanitizer is not a replacement for washing your hands with soap. We advise all patrons wash their hands before and after eating, drinking, gaming, and before and after touching your beautiful face. 

  • Absolutely no smoking or vaping in the bar. You will be removed and added to our perma-banned list.

  • Vault staff have the final say. We will NOT tolerate carelessness with the above rules. Please be mindful. Thank you.

GROUP AND RESERVATION INFO:



At this time, we are no longer accepting reservations unless it’s for a private event. Email reservations@vault31bar.com for more info.

Walk-in groups over 8 guests will have the cover charge automatically applied per person. Larger parties we ask that covers to be placed on one tab.

Groups of 12+ may be turned away due to space availability.

Groups larger than 12. Please email reservations@vault31bar.com

We do not host bachelor or bachelorette parties. Not even with a private event.
Sorry, nothing personal. Just too many ill-behaved groups ruined it for everyone else.

Hey. Going to be really transparent here. Large unexpected groups are pretty difficult for us to accommodate. Our space and amenities are more designed for smaller parties. Sorry y'all.

VIDEO GAME CHECKOUT:


Think of us as a video game library/museum. Pick a console and a game from the list, and we will get it set up for you assuming it’s available. (Not all TV’s can play every system, please check with a Vault Technician)

  • $5 cover per person for all day play.
    $10 to rent a PC.

  • Must have an open and ACTIVE tab.
    NOTE! Hourly charge may occur if tab is left inactive for too long with active gameplay.

  • When using house controllers - YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE. Please be respectful to the equipment as some of it is 30+ years old.
    Look, we know Cuphead is hard. But please do not take your shit gaming skills out on any equipment or furniture. We will add any damaged or “lost” equipment to your tab.

  • Return any/all house controllers to the bar when finished. Again, you are responsible! Only then will we close your tab and hand your card back.

  • Please check with staff before sitting at a station that already has controllers, it may be a reserved seat, or the patrons who checked out the system and controllers are away at the time. (They may be ordering at the bar, or outside)

  • We know, we have a fuck ton of games to choose from. We ask that you try and not change your mind on a game or system multiple times in a short span of time.
    Second cover charge applied to excessive game/console changes.

  • Please do not ask staff to pick a game for you. We will intentionally pick something awful and you will not be allowed to change it.

  • Games are subject to availability. If we had something one week, and not the next, it’s because of the size of our library. We do not have the space for our collection, so we rotate things in and out. Want a specific game or system to be available for your next visit? Check with staff.

FAQs

  • Am I allowed to bring my own controllers???:
    Yes, please feel free to bring you own controllers to be used on our systems.

  • You had a special a while ago, can you make it again?:
    YEAH! Well… Probably. Depending on what was in it, we can make most of our specials again. Just ask.

  • Can I take photos and videos of the bar?:
    Yes, please do! We just ask that you tag us in any social media platforms you post to.

  • You had (insert game here) last time, why is it not available now?:
    As much as we want store our entire library in house, we just don’t have the room. So our game library rotates all the time. Not all games and systems are available at any given moment. Games and systems are subject to availability.

  • Do you host events?:
    You bet your ass we do! Check our calendar for updates.
