City Food Hall also features two Topgolf Swing Suites, an immersive social experience offering guests a dedicated space to play and enjoy fantastic food and beverage service. With a massive screen and a selection of exciting virtual games, the Topgolf Swing Suite delivers a one-of-a-kind simulation that's fun for golfers and non-golfers alike. Topgolf Swing Suite is powered by Full Swing golf simulator technology, the same simulator used by PGA Tour pros Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day for off-course practice.
 
“We began planning over a year ago, and the idea was to highlight the talented chefs in the Panhandle-both those with established careers as well as up-and-coming chefs-and give them a space to showcase their talent and develop their businesses. said Kenzie Motai, the partnership's chief operating officer. Destin Commons seemed perfect for the concept because it’s an incredible shopping mall with a lot of traffic, and wanted to be an amenity to the many visitors that frequent it every year.”
 
City Food Hall is open daily from 11am to 9pm Sunday through Thursday, and 11am to 10pm on Friday and Saturday. The venue and Swing Suites are now available for special event bookings including birthdays, happy hours, holiday parties, bachelor/bachelorette events, corporate retreats and more. Event attendees will enjoy great food, drinks, and entertainment at Destin’s newest go-to gathering place.
