How far ahead to book

Our rule of thumb for groups. Individual venues vary, so confirm when you call.

Groups of 10 or more: book a private room 3 to 4 weeks ahead in a normal week.

Conference weeks: book as soon as your dates are set. Each conference guide shows our book-by date.

Game nights near the arena: book pregame dinners at least a week ahead.

Holidays: many restaurants close or switch to set menus, so confirm hours before you book.
