We read some reviews and were happy to know there's a dance floor in the back that's separate from the bar area - gives some variety. They were playing house music in the back with a fog machine. The dance floor would sometimes fill up and then empty out. Overall the vibes were just not it for me. After we entered and walked to the back, a friend said, "It feels like we just walked into a frat party, right?" It was just not the crowd I would expect for Bushwick. But I'm usually in queer spaces so maybe this is normal and I didn't realize. People weren't unkind or anything but it wasn't a space I'd wanna go back to. We all got some fruity cocktail which was fine. Nothing to write home about and pretty sweet.

Whether it's NBA Jam or Pinball, the games here actually work and give you something to do as you imbibe. I went around Thanksgiving weekend and appreciated the creepy human-sized Chewbacca that moves it's face, greeting guests under the lovely disco ball above. Frozen drinks, wine, hard seltzer and cocktails occupy most of their menu space, at great prices. Mostly I'm charmed by the kitsch of it all, and the booth seating that is perfect for 6 friends but no more. Their full calendar of events include drag shows, dance parties, and karaoke nights. Apparently if you actually do come in skates they'll give you a discount on drinks, so go on and live out your skate dreams here.

Taylor's Tayke: Royal Palms is more than just a venue, it's…read morean experience rooted in intention and community. You can feel that from the moment you walk in. The entire space is an ode to shuffleboard, from the design to the details, all inspired by the owner Jonathan's upbringing playing with his grandparents in Florida. That personal touch shows in everything. It's immersive, nostalgic, and thoughtfully curated in a way that makes the night feel different from your typical outing. My Tipsy Tayke: The drinks are potent and creatively named around shuffleboard culture, which adds to the theme of the space. Easy to enjoy and definitely part of the experience. My Taysty Tayke: The rotating food truck concept is a great touch. You're getting different food options depending on the week, which keeps things fresh and gives you something to pair with the drinks while you play or hang out. Service: The staff is a direct reflection of the culture Jonathan has built. Welcoming, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone has a great time. They care about the atmosphere they've cultivated over the years, and it shows. Experience: If you don't know how to play shuffleboard, you'll leave with some knowledge. Whether it's tips from staff or just getting a few games in, it's beginner-friendly and engaging. The space works on multiple levels. It's a shuffleboard club, a social lounge, and at times even feels like a nightclub with a DJ, sections, and a lively crowd. You'll find everyone from people in shuffleboard leagues to groups of friends, couples on date night, and even notable public figures. All ages are welcome, which makes it feel inclusive while still maintaining a high-energy vibe. In Conclusion: A unique, community-driven space that blends games, nightlife, and culture seamlessly. Perfect for date night, group outings, or just trying something new with a great atmosphere. Stamped by Elajas

Flamingo…read moreand palm tree printed wallpaper, frozen and tiki cocktails galore, a huge open space to play the very simple game of ground shuffleboard. The place would pack out and it was so impossible to get a lane that I stopped going for a while. After a hiatus of over a decade from the place, I decided to return on a Saturday for a date. The place largely holds up, as in, it still feels cool. We got drinks and played taboo while we waited for our lane, which took about 40 mins to free up. At $60 an hour, you can really rack up a pretty penny just to push some pucks around but I'll admit I had fun. The barrier to entry is extremely low. There's a lot of space to spread out and this would be especially fun in a group. I don't know about spending hours and hours here, because at least for me the novelty fades pretty quickly, but I don't mind my once a decade soujourn, assuming this place continues to stay for years to come.

There is nothing exceptional about it. There just isn't enough choice in the area.

First they weren't keeping to the same musical theme as the previous visit, which in itself is not terrible except that the music was so loud it was deafening - my ears are still ringing. Second they claim to only serve good people yet they were serving rif raf with zero respect for their fellow patrons. The bartenders could clearly see how one guy was behaving and they ignored it and just served him his drinks. I thought this might be a cool go-to place, but it's actually worse than nearly every other establishment I've been to NYC. At least the patrons at the other places have reasonable decency, and if they don't the bartender/bouncer does something about it.

Not sure the DJ knew just how much remixing these two disparate songs would resonate with my group but boy did it HIT. Do they even have the same BPM? It simultaneously confused and delighted us, and I wish the whole bar would've erupted into dance but we had fun in our little corner. I'm not one for neon signs, but the fact that they have just the word "Lust" in neon instead of a corny phrase makes it feel tasteful, and it just goes with the pink theme they have elsewhere in the narrow space. They have a backyard but there's not much in the way of space inside, which is unfortunate because the DJ really made us want to dance. Friendly bartenders and relatively cheap drinks for Bushwick in 2025. Solid place to just stop in for a while on a weekend night.
