Electric Pickle, the nearly 5-acre pickleball, dining and outdoor entertainment destination, is now open in Tempe — the first of six locations planned across the Southwest.
Blending pickleball with globally inspired cuisine and lively entertainment, Electric Pickle offers an elevated experience. The centerpiece is a 12,000-square-foot indoor and outdoor restaurant serving bold dishes like Seared Ahi, Sticky Short Ribs and Garlic Noodles & Shrimp, alongside creative cocktails such as the Pickler’s Punch and Guava Mojito. A chic second-floor lounge provides a more intimate setting — complementing the lively energy of the restaurant below.
Pickleball enthusiasts can book courts online for groups of up to 12 or enjoy walk-in play. Memberships, priced at $100 per month, include unlimited open play, advanced bookings, morning discounts and Pro Shop savings. With nine state-of-the-art courts, including four equipped with AI technology, Electric Pickle redefines the pickleball experience.
Beyond the courts, the venue features private cabanas, Full Swing Golf Simulators, bocce ball, ping pong, cornhole and a lawn with a live music stage. Guests can enjoy weekly events, as well as a lively happy hour showcasing food and drink specials. Event bookings are also available for celebrations, corporate outings and private gatherings.
Developed by the leaders behind Eureka! Restaurant Group and Knighthead Capital Management, the venue combines modern design with lush greenery to create a dynamic backdrop for its wide array of amenities.
Tempe, selected as the debut location for its vibrant and welcoming spirit, serves as the ideal backdrop for this innovative concept that includes monthly memberships featuring exclusive perks. Located at 8688 S. Emerald Drive near I-10 and Warner Road, this flagship venue is just the beginning of a planned national rollout. Future destinations include Las Vegas; Katy, Texas; Roseville, California; Rancho Cucamonga, California; and Reno, Nevada.
