This is version 1.3 of the Event Center terms (the801-event-terms-v1.3). It governs reservations whose request was made under version 1.3. 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 23 October 2026 (the801-event-terms-v1.3). This is the version you accept when you tick the box on the reservation form, or on the payment page of a payment link we email you, and we keep a record of it.
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-v1.3, dated 23 October 2026. Effective 23 October 2026.
By sending a reservation 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
- 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.
- You choose how to pay. Either the deposit: the deposit charge of $115.00 for a morning or evening block, or $121.75 for a full day. That is the $100 deposit and our platform fee of 3% of the reservation (the price and the $75 cleaning fee: $15.00 for a block, $21.75 for a full day). Or the whole reservation at once: $515.00 for a block, or $746.75 for a full day (the price, the $75 cleaning fee and the same platform fee). No card processing fee is added. A date that starts less than 72 hours after you reserve can only be paid in full.
- Your date is reserved when your payment goes through. There is no approval step. You have one hour from sending the form to finish the card step; if it is not finished in that hour, the date is released and nothing is charged. If you reserve by phone and we email you a payment link, your date is on hold for one hour, starting when we send the link and ending at the time shown in the email; asking for the link again does not extend it. If payment is not completed by then, the hold ends, the date opens to others, and nothing is charged. Once your card is accepted, the reservation is confirmed, your card is charged, and we email you.
- If you paid the deposit, the balance is due 48 hours before your event starts. We email you a payment link 72 hours before your event. Nothing is taken from your card automatically after the deposit charge; you pay the balance yourself through the link. If you paid in full, there is no balance.
- If the balance is not paid by its due date, we may cancel the reservation and keep the deposit charge (the $100 deposit and the platform fee).
- 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
| Option | Hours | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Morning block | 8:00 am to 4:00 pm | $425 |
| Evening block | 6:00 pm to 1:00 am | $425 |
| Full day | 8:00 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, paid with the balance when you pay the deposit, or in your payment when you pay in full. 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 with the deposit: $115.00 when you reserve, and the balance, $400.00, 48 hours before the event. A $650 full day with the deposit: $121.75 when you reserve, and the balance, $625.00, 48 hours before the event. Paid in full: $515.00 for a block or $746.75 for a full day when you reserve, and nothing later. The balance is the list price less the $100 deposit, plus the $75 cleaning fee. There is no platform fee on the balance.
4. Card and platform fees
No card processing fee is added to any payment: you pay the amounts shown, whatever card you use. Our platform fee is 3% of the reservation (the list price plus the $75 cleaning fee) and is taken once, in the deposit charge or the payment in full; the balance carries no fee. Every amount you will be charged is shown in sections 2 and 3. Card payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.
5. If you cancel
- If you cancel, the deposit charge ($115.00 for a block, $121.75 for a full day: the $100 deposit and our platform fee) is not returned. If you paid in full, that part of your payment is kept and the rest is treated as a paid balance (below). If you cancel before your card step is finished, nothing is charged.
- The $75 cleaning fee is always returned. It is part of the balance: if you have paid the balance (or paid in full), it is returned from it; if you paid the balance by hand, the event center returns it to you; if you have not paid the balance yet, it was never taken.
- A balance you have already paid is returned in full if you cancel more than 48 hours before your event starts. If you cancel 48 hours before it starts or less, only the cleaning fee part of the balance is 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, the platform fee 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: when it is confirmed, 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 the version you accepted. A reservation whose request was made under version 1.0 of these terms (the801-event-terms-v1.0) stays governed by version 1.0, one made under version 1.1 (the801-event-terms-v1.1) by version 1.1, and one made under version 1.2 (the801-event-terms-v1.2) by version 1.2; all three stay published. A change never applies to a reservation already confirmed. Questions: 501-770-0170.
