Families can visit during the day, and the game floor offers ticket prizes. The no-kids policy kicks in after 10:00 PM, changing the room's audience late in the evening.

A Change of Pace

Azul and Elston Electric give this pairing two different centers of attention. Latin American seafood and a smaller riverfront deck put the meal in focus at Azul, while its other spaces host louder events. Pinball, giant screens, and an animatronic band frame Elston Electric's bar food and drinks. The appeal is meal first, games second. The audience rules also differ, Azul admits guests aged 21 and older, while Elston Electric welcomes families before its no-kids policy begins after 10:00 PM.
