Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- For parties of 15 or more, it's recommended to place a catering order at least 48 hours in advance to ensure seamless service.
- If you're not booking a cabana party, arrive closer to opening time for shorter wait times for walk-in shuffleboard courts.
- While outside savory food is not permitted, you are welcome to bring in cakes and other sweet treats for your celebration.
- Consider utilizing the paid street parking or free options on nearby streets like Leavitt and Wabansia to avoid parking fees.
- If you have guests who only plan to stop by briefly, it's best to have them arrive towards the end of your booked event to avoid being included in the beverage package.
