World of Beer Royal Palm Beach, which the company now brands as WOB Bar and Kitchen, sits in the Southern Palm Crossing center at 11121 Southern Boulevard. This location runs Topgolf Swing Suites, which puts a simulator bay in the middle of a craft beer hall. For western Palm Beach County, that combination is hard to find anywhere else.
The bays run the standard Topgolf Swing Suite game set. Virtual courses and the Topgolf target games sit alongside multi-sport titles covering dodgeball, hockey, baseball, football, and carnival games. Call (561) 834-2430 to check availability, especially on a Friday or Saturday night when the bar itself is busy and the bays book out.
The beer program is the reason this chain exists. World of Beer stocks more than 500 beers from around the world, with a long list of craft options on draft. The company started in 2007 in the Westchase neighborhood of Tampa as a bottle shop, and the selection has stayed the point ever since.
There is a rewards app that tracks the beers you have tried, awards badges, and ranks you on a local leaderboard. That sounds like a gimmick, and it partly is, but it also nudges people to work through a list of 500 rather than order the same lager every visit. Wine and spirits are both available too.
The kitchen is tavern food done properly. Burgers, chicken wings, and shareable plates form the core of the menu, and the room is classified as a gastropub as much as a sports bar. Monday brings a five dollar classic burger with tavern fries. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from three to seven.
Events keep the room busy through the week. Themed trivia nights are a regular fixture, and the bar runs tap takeovers where a single brewery takes over the draft list for a night. Live music happens as well. If you want your simulator hour to sit inside a room with something going on, that programming helps.
Hours suit an evening plan. The bar opens at eleven in the morning every day. It closes at ten Monday through Thursday, stays open until midnight on Friday and Saturday, and shuts at nine on Sunday. Those late weekend hours are unusual for a Swing Suite venue and make this a genuine night-out option.
The venue handles groups and private events, with an event space on site and catering arranged through a third-party platform. There is patio seating outside, Wi-Fi throughout, and televisions across the room for whatever game is on. Dogs are welcome, which fits the shopping-center patio setting better than you might expect.
Royal Palm Beach sits inland from West Palm Beach along Southern Boulevard, which makes this an easy stop for anyone in Wellington, Loxahatchee, or the western suburbs. Southern Palm Crossing has plenty of parking and other shops around it. The venue is wheelchair accessible at the entrance, in the lot, in the restrooms, and in the seating areas.
Guests rate this location 4.5 stars across roughly 926 Google reviews, which is a strong score for a chain bar. For a golfer, this is a social bay in a very good beer room rather than a place to work on your swing. For lessons, launch monitor data, or a club fitting, use a dedicated indoor golf facility.
