Is the lounge space free?   We do not charge a fee to use the space, however we do require a minimum tab when we staff the lounge.  We generally require a 18% minimum tip be applied to the final bill.

What is the minimum tab?  The minimum is based on demand, but we will generally require the following:
                                                    Lunch:  $200
                                                    Sunday through Thursday:  $400
                                                    Friday: $600
                                                    Saturday: $800

Do I have to pay the entire tab?  No, your guest purchases will be applied to the minimum tab.  For example, if you have 40 guests, it may be reasonable to assume they would spend $15 each and reach a Friday $600 minimum.  Food is also applied to the tab.

How many people does the Sutra Lounge hold?  We have hosted parties from 10 people to 99.

Is there ample parking for a large event?  Yes, we have 35 off street parking spaces and there is plenty of street parking (without city meters!).

What are the food options?  We have an in-house catering menu available (tab above).  We can also provide special request items.  Our executive chef has been three star rated by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and has worked with many styles of cooking.  We do not allow carry-in items.  All catering must be ordered 7 days in advance so we have time to order and prep.

Are there special deals in the lounge?  The space allows us to provide you barrels of your chosing.  Miller products cost $275.  Many premium and micro beers may be purchased for $375.  There are approximately 120 pints in each barrel.  Now that's a deal!

Is the lounge non-smoking?  Yes, however your guests may smoke upstairs until July 4, 2010.

Is a deposit required?  Yes, we require a $200 refundable deposit to hold the room, order product and staff accordingly.
