Ravelhotel.com describes weekend nights as the venue's most popular time, when the space transforms into an "energetic lounge," and enforces a strict dress code — no sneakers or flip-flops, no exceptions. A follow-up search of Gametight/promoter listings found walk-in guests reportedly pay double compared to guests on a free guestlist, and that groups celebrating occasions are "encouraged to reserve seating in advance."
On busy Friday and Saturday nights the combination of dress-code enforcement and an age cutoff (21+ after 9pm, per the same search results) points to real door friction, though neither source gives a specific quoted wait time.
