This is version 1.0 of the Event Center terms (the801-event-terms-v1.0). It governs reservations whose request was made under version 1.0. Current terms: /events/terms

Reservation terms

The terms of reserving the event center.

Written to be read. If anything here is unclear, call (501) 770-0170 before you reserve, not after.

Version dated 10 October 2026 (the801-event-terms-v1.0). This is the version you accept when you tick the box on the reservation form, and we keep a record of it against your reservation.

1. Who these terms are between

These terms are between you (the "customer") and LR STATION 801 LLC, doing business as The 801: Event Center ("the event center", "we", "us"), 801 S Chester Street, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201. They apply to every reservation of the event center made through our website.

Version the801-event-terms-v1.0, dated 10 October 2026. Effective 16 October 2026.

By sending a reservation request and ticking the box that says you agree to these terms, you agree to them. The person who makes the reservation must be of legal age to enter a contract, and is responsible for the event and for everyone at it.

2. How a reservation works

  1. You ask for a date. Choose a date and a block (section 3). Dates can be requested up to six months ahead. A date beyond that is refused.
  2. Your date is held for 24 hours. If we have not answered within 24 hours, the hold is released and nothing is charged.
  3. Your card is authorized, not charged. When you send the request, we authorize your card for $186.30. That is a $100 deposit plus a $75 cleaning fee, with $11.30 of card and platform fees added. An authorization is a hold on your card. No money is taken yet.
  4. We approve or decline. A person at the event center approves every reservation. A request is not a reservation until we approve it. If we approve, your card is charged the $186.30, the reservation is confirmed and the date is yours. If we decline, or the hold lapses, the authorization is released.
  5. An authorization more than 6 days old is not charged. The reservation lapses and your card is released.
  6. The balance is due 48 hours before your event starts. We email you a payment link. If we approve your reservation less than 48 hours before it starts, the balance is due when we approve it. Nothing is taken from your card automatically after the $186.30; you pay the balance yourself through the link.
  7. If the balance is not paid by its due date, we may cancel the reservation and keep the $175 (the $100 deposit and the $75 cleaning fee).
  8. At most two reservations are taken for any one date. Rooms other than the hall are not capped.

If a date shows as reserved, call 501-770-0170 and ask whether we can still accommodate you.

3. Blocks and prices

Blocks and prices
OptionHoursPrice
Morning block8:00 am to 4:00 pm$425
Evening block6:00 pm to 1:00 am$425
Full day8:00 am to 1:00 am, fixed$650
  • A full day runs from 8:00 am to 1:00 am, seventeen hours. You do not choose a start time.
  • The hours between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm are a two-hour turnaround that belongs to us. Both blocks can be reserved for the same date by different customers.
  • A full day takes both blocks off sale for that date.
  • No reservation runs past 1:00 am. Everyone should be out of the building by your end time.
  • Each reservation carries one $75 cleaning fee, collected with the deposit and shown as its own charge. It is the same for a block and for a full day. It is not a damage deposit.
  • Amplified music stops at midnight.

What you pay, worked through. A $425 block: $186.30 is authorized when you ask, and the balance, $345.70, is due 48 hours before the event. A $650 full day: $186.30 is authorized when you ask, and the balance, $584.81, is due 48 hours before the event. The balance is the list price less the $100 deposit, plus card and platform fees.

4. Card and platform fees

Card and platform fees are added to the price you pay, so the amount charged is higher than the list price. The $186.30 is the $175 plus $11.30 in fees; the balances in section 3 include their fees too. The fees are shown to you before you confirm. Card payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.

5. If you cancel

  • If you cancel, we keep the $100 deposit and return the $75 cleaning fee.
  • A balance you have already paid is returned if you cancel more than 48 hours before your event starts. If you cancel 48 hours before it starts or less, the balance is not returned.
  • The date is released as soon as you cancel, so someone else can use it.
  • To cancel, call 501-770-0170, or use the cancel button on your reservation page where it is offered.

6. If we cancel

If we cancel because of damage, a utility failure, or anything else that makes the hall unusable, everything you paid is returned, the deposit and the cleaning fee included, or you may take another date if you prefer.

7. Refunds and disputes

Refunds go back to the card you paid with. If you plan to dispute a charge with your bank, please call us first on 501-770-0170; we can usually fix it faster.

8. Your event

  • Capacity. The hall holds 65 people comfortably and 75 at most.
  • Staffing. Staffing for your event, if any, is provided by LR STATION 801 LLC, not by an individual.
  • Decorating. Decorate as you please, as long as nothing is left that causes permanent damage to the property.
  • Alcohol. You may bring alcohol to your event. You are responsible for who is served, for anyone who has had too much, and for meeting any legal requirement that applies to you.
  • Insurance. Event insurance is not required. You are welcome to take it out, and for a large or expensive event you may want to. Your own belongings and your guests' belongings are your own responsibility while you are in the building.
  • Music. Amplified music stops at midnight.
  • Damage and cleaning. You are responsible for damage to the hall caused by you or anyone at your event, beyond normal wear. The $75 cleaning fee covers an ordinary clean.
  • Running over. Please be out by your end time.
  • Things left behind. Take everything you brought. We keep anything left behind from an event for 15 days, then dispose of it. This is separate from the lounge's locker rule.

9. Your information, emails and texts

To make a reservation we collect your name, email, phone number, the date and block, the type of event, the number of guests, a description of the event, and your agreement to these terms. We use them to run your reservation, take your payment through Stripe, and contact you about it. Card numbers are entered with Stripe and never reach us. How long we keep your information, who else handles it, and how to ask us to correct or delete it are in our Privacy Policy.

We email you about your reservation: received, approved or declined, the balance, and any cancellation. Those emails are part of the reservation and are not marketing.

10. Phone

You can reach the event center on 501-770-0170. How calls are answered and recorded is explained in the Privacy Policy.

11. Limits

Our liability to you for an event is limited to the amount you paid for that reservation. Nothing in these terms limits a right that Arkansas law does not allow to be limited.

12. General

These terms are governed by Arkansas law, and the state and federal courts in Pulaski County, Arkansas have jurisdiction over any dispute about them. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest stands. We may update these terms. The version that applies to your reservation is the one you accepted when you made it, and we keep a record of it against your reservation. A change never applies to a reservation already approved.
