What does my membership get me?

Members are granted exclusive access to the club during open hours, which gives you plenty of time to swim, sip, and socialize! Guests may only attend when a member has invited them. In addition, members get a ton of other perks. Check out all that is included here.

When is the club open?

The club is open Wednesday-Sunday seasonally. The club reserves the right to be closed for inclement weather or select private events. In 2021 we will be open from April 8th-October 1st.

Is the club family-friendly?

While we do encourage families to play and swim, we do have a full-service bar open during club hours, so we would encourage parents to use their judgement and bring their children in the mornings and early afternoon. We do ask that parents watch their children at all times as there is no lifeguard on duty. Members can bring their minor children free of charge, children 21 and older will need to pay for a day pass. Due to the size limitations of the swim area, we are not able to allow large floats or pool toys. Much like a guest, parents must be present with their children at the club.

What does swimming look like?

The cold water spa is approximately 25'x25' and 3.5' deep with a waterfall feature facing Main Street and a swim up bar. Because of the size, it's not suitable for lap swimming or diving. It's a great place to cool off and socialize with a cocktail in hand! Aside from enjoying time in the water, we have three large lounge sectionals, dining tables, and bar stools, making it a great place to lounge and relax with your friends!

How do I get in?

Members will be given a magnetic key card that will get them entry to the building lobby and elevator. The club is located on the 7th floor of Falls Park Place, at 600 S. Main Street. The lobby is located on Falls Park Drive next to Parsley & Mint. You'll need your key card to get into the lobby and then use the marked elevator to go to the 7th floor. The lobby is not manned, so we do ask that members escort their guests to the rooftop. There is a $40 replacement fee for lost or stolen magnetic cards. In the event of bad weather, there will be a sign in the lobby indicating the club is closed. 

Can I cancel my Membership at any time?

Due to the size of the club, we are only able to accept a select amount of members each year. We do ask that members commit to a minimum 3-month membership, after which you can cancel with a 30 day notice. 

How many guests can I bring?

Members can purchase a day pass and bring up to three guests at a time to enjoy the club. After three visits, a guest must become a member to continue to visit the club. Guests are free on weekdays, weekend day passes are $10. We reserve the right to limit the amount of guests on holidays, such as Memorial Day and Fourth of July. Special Events may have a higher guest pass rate.

What is the attire for the club?

We encourage fun in the sun, so casual pool wear is acceptable. We do ask that you wear appropriate swim wear in the pool, no underwear or athletic wear for swimming. Out of consideration of other building tenants, please come dressed with a cover-up and shoes to get through the lobby. We unfortunately have limited restrooms and no dressing rooms, so please come dressed with your swimsuit under your cover-up. We do provide a towel service free of charge. 

What is the Bar Service like?

We offer a full-service bar featuring craft beer, select wines, and signature spirits whenever we are open. Members can leave their credit card on file, or tab out each time you visit. Our drink pricing is comparable to other local bars and restaurants. Members can bring their own bottle of wine for a $15 corkage fee. We do ask that you leave coolers or liquor at home. 

Does the club serve food?

We don't have a kitchen, so although we don't offer a full food menu, we have several options for you. 

• We do stock a few snacks you can purchase at the club.
• Members are welcome to order to-go lunch or dinner from local restaurants and bring the food up. We have complimentary delivery set-up with Chicora Alley and Papi's Tacos. 
• Members are welcome to bring in their own snacks or meals, we just ask that you bring everything prepared (no cooking on-site) and clean up after yourself. 

How do I become a member?

Membership candidates must fill out an application, submit an application fee and sign our Membership Agreement. Candidates seeking our discounted residential rates must also provide proof of residence. To learn more, contact us. 

Can I bring my own food & beverages?

Members and their guests are allowed to bring in a picnic basket or other snacks as they wish. We do not have any cooking facilities on-site, and we do ask that you clean up after yourselves. We do have a full-service bar available, so we ask that you leave any glass, coolers, flasks, and any kind of liquid at home. If you wish to bring an empty water bottle, we offer tap water you are more than welcome to fill it with. 

How do i host an event?

We offer private event rentals to members, find out more here.

What is the application fee for?

Like most private clubs, we charge a $150 initiation fee per member ($200 for a couple) to cover the staff time of getting you set up in our system, running a background check, and issuing you a key card. This is a one-time fee you will not have to pay again as long as you remain a member in good standing. 

What is the Security Deposit for?

All members will need to submit a $100 security deposit to cover any damages, lost key cards, or unpaid bar tabs. If you choose not to renew your membership, your deposit will be returned to you minus any damages or service charges. 

What forms of payment are accepted at the club?

Topside is going cashless for the 2022 season! Please be prepared to pay with a card!
