THE SHUFFLE CLUB - showcase - 19 Bethnal Green Road,
Shoreditch , London E1
Another one of the many venue showcase events in September as venues want to get pre Christmas bookings.
This large venue used to be Beach Blanket Babylon.
Right in the heart of Shoreditch, their gorgeous venue spans three vibrant floors packed with both Deck and Table Shuffleboard. Double the games, double the fun.
Head up to their gorgeous rooftop bar – The Veranda – the perfect spot for relaxed catch ups and city views whatever the season.
Level up your social with craft cocktails, delicious sourdough pizza, small bites, plus our fan-favourite bottomless brunch – everything you need for an unforgettable time with mates.
We had a few games of Shuffle , as it is very easy to play.
To play shuffleboard, players take turns sliding heavy pucks down a long, narrow, and waxed table into scoring zones at the far end. Players aim to get their pucks into the highest scoring areas while also knocking their opponents' pucks off the board or into lower-scoring areas. Once all pucks are played, only pucks in the scoring zones count. Only the player or team with the furthest puck scores points in that round
There is a stand up stick pushing the puck Deck version too .
Complimentary Rum Punch cocktails , prosecco , wines ,beers ,
burgers, pizza slices and canapes.
