Welcome to the Santa Barbara Bridge Center

The club is open for in-person games Monday through Saturday!

Please arrive at least 10 minutes before game time.
Players arriving late may play only at the discretion of the game Director.

Any player feeling sick in any way should stay home.

To help us with planning, we ask that you put your game on our calendar.

We are aware of the flaws in the reservation system. We have no control over it.

When it does not work, just come to the club and play.
