The room

Daylight closed and came back in May 2026 as Tailgate Beach Club — pool party meets sportsbook, with three heated pools, 125 feet of LED screens and cabanas with consoles. The right call for a football Sunday or a budget cabana, not for chasing a headliner.

Cabanas, daybeds & minimums

Daybed, cabana and bungalow minimums are set by the venue and move with the day — the DJ, the weekend, the weather, the position by the pool. Entry daybeds on an ordinary weekend sit in the low four figures; cabanas and bungalows on a headliner day are their own conversation. We don't print a number because it would be wrong by Friday. Text us the date and we quote the live minimum straight from the venue. You pay Tailgate Beach Club directly at Tailgate Beach Club's price — no booking fee, no markup, ever.
