Do I need a reservation?

Walk-ins are always welcome, but reservations do take priority for tables. Reservations can be made up to a month in advance for up to 6 people and for a maximum of 3 hours.  For groups larger than 14, or longer than 3 hours, please email play@houseruleslounge.com for details.

How much do you charge for the gaming?

To game at House Rules, we charge a $5 gaming fee per person ages 12 and over. Children under 12 are free with a paying adult.

The gaming fee gets your group a table for up to 3 hours and full access to our library of 600+ games.

How does this work? Each guest will be charged a $5 gaming ahead of time if making a reservation online, or in person if walking in without a reservation. The $5 fee is waived for most drop-in style House Rules hosted community events. There is no fee if you're not actively playing games. Non-gaming tables are limited to a 1 hour time slot, best for any group just eating and/or drinking.
