An on-site café, guest lounge with a cinema projector, and shared TV lounges with Netflix are available. The Orange Line city bus stops directly outside Jailhouse every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on weekends, providing access to Addington Railway Station, Orangetheory Stadium, Horncastle Arena, and Hagley Park.
