The opening of the Box Garden also means even more food and beverage options for Legacy Hall guests. The space will house a BBQ stall, Carlton Provisions, founded by Jordan Swim of Vestals Catering and the Founder of Chili’s Larry Lavine. These gentlemen know how to prepare a mean BBQ plate. Their labor of love yields tasty creations like oak-fired brisket, five-hour ribs and house-prepared sausage that are oh so good.
With the opening of the Box Garden, Legacy Hall will now have nine total bars! The Box Garden will add five new bars including Idol Time Tiki Bar, Stillhouse Lounge, Unlawful Assembly Outpost, and two rotating pop-ups along with a Hawaiian shaved ice stand.
