FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR NIGHT AT THE ROYAL PALMS…
-
Walk on in when we’re open and sign up for a walk-in court
Book a Cabana Party up to 75 days in advanced for a party of 10+ players
Book a full-space, half-space or rooftop buyout at any time!
-
Nope… We’re primarily a first come, first served shuffleboard club so we encourage walk-ins to put their name in for a court.
-
Walk-ins are always encouraged here at The Royal Palms. Courts are $60 and are rented on a first-come, first-served basis. We do our best to keep courts available for walk-ins and if there's a line, we limit play to one hour per party to try to get as many people on the courts as possible.
-
Shuffleboard is generally played 2 on 2, 4 on 4 or 8 on 8 and takes about 15 minutes. We can modify the structure for any sized party! We recommend a group of 4-10 for traditional play, but we’re also a perfect date night spot for a group of two!
We've got plenty of complementary games like giant jenga, giant connect four and much more. There is also overflow seating throughout the venue and benches on the courts.
-
Wait times vary based on the flow of guests and we'll get you on a court as quickly as possible. We generally find shorter wait times closest to when we first open our doors for the day!
If you’d like to skip the wait, a Cabana Party can be arranged in advance!
-
Short answer, yes… But, we don’t recommend it.
If two courts under two different wait list names become available, there’s a high chance they are NOT next to each other.
It’s better to put one name on the wait list and let the front desk know you’re interested in two courts.
When there’s a wait, we do limit every party to ONE court for ONE hour. If there’s not a wait, we’ll always do our best to accommodate your requests for more courts and more hours of play.
-
Indeed! The Royal Palms was built to be a place everyone can enjoy. The shuffleboard courts are fully wheelchair accessible.
-
On league nights we generally have more limited court time available as our competitor’s often use the majority of the courts. That said, you’re always welcome to walk in and sign up for a court!
-
Not at all! Your party will receive a five-minute pro lesson at the start of your event, and your server will be able to answer any shuffleboard questions you may have for the duration of your event.
-
We recommend closed-toed shoes but we see plenty of shufflers in heels! Wear something comfy because shuffleboard can get INTENSE (jk, but not really, jk)… But really just wear whatever you want.
-
Unfortunately the health department doesn't allow us to admit dogs… but we really do love them! (Certified service animals are permitted)
-
Street parking or park in the closest garage! Link below to reserve your spot.
-
We don't allow ANYONE under the age of 21 at our bar. Even cute, tiny sleeping people.
The only time we make an exception, is in the case of a full venue private buyout or on specified Family Sunday dates.
-
We do NOT permit any outside food except cakes and sweets.
-
Any cabana that is not reserved is first come first served. There are also hundreds of seating options throughout the venue that walk in guests are welcome to sit at.

party info
-
Yes, we require a two or three hour beverage package to reserve court time. All packages include all N/A options.
-
Pricing ranges based on guest count, duration of the party and drink package. Admin fees, taxes, gratuity required.
-
Odds are, we've got another crew of party people coming in right after you, so once your time's up, you'll need to vacate your cabana/court...but the party doesn't have to end!
Grab yourselves a table and send someone to get Cards Against Humanity from our front desk; you've got the whole night ahead of you!
-
All of your cabana party guests will have bracelets to identify themselves, so you can always start a tab when you arrive and let your guests go to the kitchen, flash their bracelet and order what they like. Then simply close out your tab at then end of the evening.
Additionally, we recommend catering for large groups.
-
Yes, you can bring in cake (or any other festively sweet treats) but no, we can not provide refrigeration and we don’t have any of the necessary cakey accessories for you to eat it with. Please bring any plates, cutting knives, utensils, napkins, etc. you might need. Also, you have to solemnly swear to clean up after yourselves. (And maybe save us a piece.)
-
Unfortunately, no. We’ve turned away all sorts of other parties to hold your spot. If you decide to cancel your event for any reason after you’ve signed the contract, a cancellation deposit will be charged to the credit card on file.
-
A deposit is due upon signing your contract, but the remaining balance is due with a physical card.
-
No outside SAVORY food is allowed (cake or other sweets are fine by us.)
-
We only allow outside catering with a Full-Space Buy-Out. Restrictions and fees apply.
-
It's true. Every single person attending your party, even if they're not planning to drink OR shuffle, MUST be included in the beverage package. The good news is, all our beverage packages include all our NA drinks so there’s bound to be something delicious for everyone. No exceptions will be made. Seriously. (P.S. Shots are not included in the beverage package).
If you have friends who just want to swing by, without being added to the drink package, and aren’t staying for the full event, we recommend they come toward the end—about 20 minutes before your event wraps up. Most of our guests tend to stick around for a more casual after-party once the main event ends!
-
Thanks for reaching out!
We recommend booking for the minimum number of guests you’re confident will attend. We’re always happy to add guests at the start of the party, but please note that we can only decrease the guest count by up to 10% with at least 48 hours' notice.
Shuffleboard games are played in teams of 2 on 2, 4 on 4, or 8 on 8, with each game typically taking about 20 minutes. In addition to shuffleboard, we’ve got plenty of complimentary games like giant Jenga, giant Connect Four, and more. We also have overflow seating throughout the venue and benches by the courts for everyone to enjoy.
Here’s a breakdown of our required guest minimums:
10+ = 1 court + 1 cabana
16+ guests = 2 courts + 1 cabana
21+ guests = 2 courts + 2 cabanas
31+ guests = 3 courts + 2 cabanas
46+ guests = 3 courts + 3 cabanas
There’s no maximum guest limit for your reservation, so feel free to add guests as needed! Additional guests will be added to your final bill at the same rate as the contracted guests. While we can’t guarantee additional courts or cabanas once the contract is signed, we’ll always do our best to accommodate any requests.
See you on the courts!
