PARKING FOR THE SONS OF HERMANN HALL
There is a small parking lot directly across the street from the Sons of Hermann Hall.   (Note: the lot across the street does not belong to the Sons of Hermann Hall and there will be a fee on some nights.)  You can park free on the un-metered portion of Elm street near the Hall and on some of the surrounding streets.  Check the signs carefully!

If you park in a metered space anywhere in Deep Ellum, please remember that meters must be paid up to midnight SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.  Unlike other areas, you must pay the meter every day of the week in the club district.  Parking laws in Deep Ellum are strictly enforced.  A few quarters are a lot cheaper than a parking ticket.

PLEASE check the signs carefully and DO NOT park in reserved spaces or in the lots belonging to any any local business with "no parking" signs.  (For example, Brake & Clutch across Exposition from the Hall.)  Be sure not to park in any space marked "Reserved for Baylor Police."   (Don't laugh - people do this!)  If you park illegally your car will be towed very quickly which will ruin an otherwise great evening.

Trust us: your car might be on a tow truck before the front door closes behind you.   We've seen it happen!  Towing companies in Deep Ellum are fast, ruthless, and expensive.  Please don't take a chance.  Most nights there is more than enough parking within a short walk of the front door.  If you are unsure, please ask at the downstairs bar.

Our side of Deep Ellum is a bit more peaceful than others but if you are at all concerned about walking to your car after a show please ask one of the Hall's member  volunteers at the downstairs bar.  We will be glad to escort you to a nearby vehicle.
