Chicken N Pickle opens in Grapevine next, then Allen.
More than a place to play pickleball, Chicken N Pickle is a restaurant and bar. The general manager hopes it's a spot where people of all ages hang out for several hours.
Pickleball is popular with seniors and with young people. It’s fun on blind dates and for group get-togethers. This mix of ping-pong, badminton and tennis, usually played 2-on-2, can be a good cardio workout. Or, participants can take it slower, hitting the ball between sips of beer. Because the sport is relatively new, Chicken N Pickle hires coaches for several-hour stretches who can teach clinics to people of all skill levels. Pickleballers otherwise rent a court by the hour — $40 at prime time, $20 otherwise — and many players reserve online, in advance.
“We wanted there to be a place where, once you’re done playing pickleball, you stay,” the GM says. “Watch the World Cup game. Have a bite to eat for lunch. We’ll have a band playing or you can sit at a fire pit. Have your kids meet you after school. We don’t want this to be an average 45-minute hangout. Our goal is 1.5 hours to 2 hours.
