How to time dinner before a show at Nectar Lounge
Nectar’s own calendar shows the door time, and the music usually starts 30 to 60 minutes after the doors open. Ticket sites, and the list above, show the start time instead, usually an hour after the doors. A table at Grappa about two hours before the start time gives you a relaxed dinner and gets you to Fremont around the time the doors open.
The box office opens at the door time on show nights and has no daytime hours, so buy tickets online in advance.
