THE HEART OF THE CLUB
Elevated above and steps away from the courts, enjoy a curated food menu, refreshing smoothies, crafted cocktails, and local beers while watching live sports on TV or cheering on friends on the court. Whether you’re catching a game, meeting up on an off pickleball day, or winding down after play, it’s the perfect place to relax, connect, and stay awhile.
Outside Outside food and beverages are not permitted on the premises;
however, refillable water containers are allowed.
FLORIDA ROOM RESTAURANT
NOT WHAT YOU'D EXPECT AT A PICKLEBALL CLUB
Swing by the Florida Room after your match or date night and experience chef-driven cuisine from James Beard nominees and Top Chef alumni, infused with South Florida soul, all in a light, airy, lakeside setting.
Think you’re too sweaty? Grab a table outside. Still dewy? Pull up a seat at the bar. Feeling fresh? Settle into the dining room. However you show up, there’s a seat that fits the moment. Refined yet approachable, where food, drinks, and atmosphere all capture the spirit of South Florida and The Fort.
Want something closer to the courts? Try our Serves & Thirds Bar for drinks, bites, and easy hangs right in the middle of the action.
