We do allow some food and non-alcoholic beverages for our Public and Private Events. Our staff will provide more information regarding what type of food and non-alcoholic drinks are allowed.

HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY MINORS?

Anyone under the age of 21 will be identified by wearing a wristband. Sip & Develop does accept vertical ID’s — Primarily because a customer may have recently turned 21 years of age and has yet to receive his/her horizontal ID. In most jurisdictions, letting minors drink in your establishment - even as an innocent mistake – can result in fines for our business and criminal citations for our employees. We’re dedicated to providing legal alcohol service and protecting our employees. 100% ID checks are performed for all customers. We appreciate your understanding.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROMO, VOUCHER CODES, AND GIFT CERTIFICATES?

A promo code is a discount code that you receive from us directly via an email promotion or occasionally from the burgundy banner found at the top of our website. Valid promo codes can be used towards all public sessions (with the exception of private parties) and provide an immediate discount at checkout.Combining multiple promo codes is not allowed under any circumstances. Customers bookings received using multiple promo codes will reflect in the customer paying the price difference minus the unauthorized promo code(s) used.

A voucher code is a code that you receive from Customer Service when canceling your reservations. The voucher code must be used to reschedule your session within 30 days from your original reservation date.

A Gift Card is a unique code sent via email or given to you by another person.

Please note: Posting any of our codes, including gift cards to any 3rd party site is prohibited. Also, coupons/codes/promotions taken from any 3rd party sites are not valid and will not be accepted.

WHAT IS YOUR BAD WEATHER POLICY?

Our first concern is for the safety of our guests and instructors. When extreme weather is an issue (i.e. hurricanes, blizzards, etc), we’ll consult with some neighboring businesses and then make a decision as to whether we will cancel the session or not.

Public Sessions– If we cancel the session we will notify all guests that have signed up in advance immediately, via email. If we remain open, and you are coming from a distance or are not comfortable attending the session, please send us an email and we would be happy to help you reschedule your session to a date that occurs within the next 30 days.

Private Parties– We will reach out to the party organizer immediately if we close due to weather. If we remain open, and your group is unable to attend due to weather, shoot us an email and we will happily reschedule your event to a date that occurs within the next 30 days. Groups that opt to reschedule with less than 24 hours notice, due to weather, will not incur a facility fee of $125.
