I didn't realize that they moved to the Church Of 8 Wheels. Great business idea of the reuse of space but I felt like I was catfished. I booked reservations online they were $25 per person, in person it was $20... Its normally really windy and cold in SF and it felt nice being able to pickle indoors. Air circulation was not the best though. Improvement Opportunities for the Business: 1. Pickle Ball Lines & Roller Skating Lines were both white. The further courts had multiple white lines. It could be confusing at first. 2. Paddling Queue System was in the middle between courts. It was a distraction for me when I was playing because people were walking between courts to place down their paddles. 3. Dead spots on the ground... There were some dead spots on the ground because of all the rollerblading streaks. Also the ground was a bit slippery.

I've met so many great people, coaches, and really think my pickleball skills have improved by practicing here. It's a super fun way to meet people on top of getting an incredible workout! One of the owners, John, is very sweet and welcoming. He would watch when I play and give me pointers that have really helped improve my game! I've seen him do this for everyone and you can tell he's really passionate about helping others improve. Whether you're a pro at pickleball, or just learning, I highly recommend coming to DinkSF!

Stagecoach Greens is a super cute date spot or family night out spot. I dropped by recently (on a…read moredate!) and was utterly charmed by the set design of each mini golf course. I loved the walk through SF's history, and felt engaged at every hole. I like billiards so I loved one of the later holes that challenged you to use your putter as a pool cue. The actual square footage of the course is not very big, but they pack a lot in the space they got. I didn't try the food or drinks but there was ample seating. Drinks but not food were allowed on the course itself. All in all not a bad way to spend $20 for a fun evening!

I enjoyed a round of minigolf this past Saturday before closing time, after grabbing a meal at…read moreSpark Social SF. Usually, I pass the slow people and jump to different holes out of order then come back, but I started early and was in no rush to finish, so I just kept myself busy while waiting for groups ahead of me, including a large party of 6 who kept causing a delay. The boom & bust course was made up of interesting props and decor representing SF landmarks and settings throughout time. Every hole had a starting point with little descriptions and buttons that could be pressed to hear about the history or fun facts about each scene. But only some of the buttons worked. Overall the holes were pretty easy, so for most I got a hole in one or two, but at least the sets were amusing, to keep it interesting. Some of my faves were the Barbary Coast Saloon with old-town piano music playing inside, the Gold Rush Graveyard which has a coffin that opens and lights up, though I think there's a specific hole that activates it (I got it in the left and nothing happened), Alpha In The Air with skyscrapers battling it out, and Spirit of Invention where players are instructed to use their putter as a pool cue (this was different). Some parts were broken and/or closed off, such as one of the Sierra Tunnels Mining Co. tracks covered with blue tape. But the place was in good condition altogether, the 18-hole course not bad at all.

I have to say. I do enjoy playing the rec sports at Mission Bay. I have played in their…read morerecreational v-ball league on Tuesday nights for four seasons now. The league has a variety of skill levels from beginning to intermediate. The teams are a variety of students to working folk. It's a good work out and the atmosphere is quite friendly. Location-wise, it's easy to get to by car and you can even take muni there. What's nice is that they also validate your parking for $1.75 for up to 3 hours. Way better to keep your car safe in a garage than parked on the street. The ref, Roger, is pretty fair and has been the ref for as long as I can remember. He doesn't call all the "illegal" plays but it's a more relaxed atmosphere so definitely don't play here if you want every single infraction to be called. The price is a little steep for non-UCSF students and there is no discount for the more people on a team, so the more the merrier doesn't really apply here.

My only complaint is that some of the teams in our "intermediate" league should NOT have been there. A lot of the guys were former JUCO or D-III players who were huge. I mean, come on, there shouldn't be anyone dunking in an intermediate league. Overall, a solid league to play in... I've since played in a number of other leagues around the city, and this one compares well. U n-monitored player skills led to discrepancies in competition level. C ost is comparable to most leagues in SF. S omewhat of a pain to get to... all the way on the Southeast side of the city. F acilities were top-notch.

There are a few different areas to play, including one for basketball and one for dodgeball. The kids didn't play at the basketball area as much since there were teenagers playing there but they enjoyed the main trampoline area where there are plenty of trampolines to jump around and a section where you can dive onto a mat. The place is considerably clean and we didn't find anything that would have raised any concerns. However, the set up for birthday parties can be lacking since there's a long table for guests to sit and eat but it can be cramped if your party size is larger than 10 children. The space for guests to use when hosting a party can create a bottleneck when the food arrives, with everyone trying to get food in a limited space. Luckily the party next to us finished early so we ended up using their table as well. Parking in the area can be challenging during the weekends, and costs $3 per hour. We found this place to be safe enough to let your kids run around by themselves while parents can relax.

It is a smaller gym, but they make great use of the space, and it never got too crowded even during peak hours. They have a tiny weight lifting area that you can only access by a ladder. I really enjoyed the variety of routes here, and I was very happy with the lower grade options. Most of the people I saw here were doing much harder routes. I really like all the seating they have available. They have fast wifi, and you can leave your phone at the front desk if you need a charger. They currently have a deal for a two-week membership for new members. It's only $30, and it includes shoe rentals and chalk. This is the same price as a day pass! You need to cancel before the renewal date, or you will be charged $50 for the next two weeks. I thought this was an amazing deal to get to try out Benchmark.

Some of the most fun climbs I've had in my entire climbing journey so far. I had the chance to…read morecheck this place out very early into getting started with climbing so many of the climbs back then were out of reach as I was climbing fairly low grades at the time but they really do have a lot of fun climbs that incorporate a variety of skills/techniques My main reason for the high grade despite a fairly large lack of amenities that my primary gym has is they just create a welcoming third space that overshadows their lack of space and feature rich gym equipment. The climbs are some of the more unique ones I've encountered with many of them challenging your sense of body positioning/tension with a good range of beginner styled climbs that allow for a friendly atmosphere. This has been my second time come and the community here seemed quite close knit as many were cheering for each other wrt their "projects" As for some nitpick downsides, the seem to only have one shower area for men's bathroom with a fairly small open changing area that is tucked into a corner. Given the space is nearly quarter to half the size of comparable SF climbing gyms I guess I could see the reasons behind it. Their sets were also a bit inflated imo but my reference points are Movement, Touchstone, and Mesa Rim gyms so it's not quite fair to say it's a universal truth but it felt like their climbs were a tad too easy for the higher grades. Maybe it's a reason people find it more welcoming but regardless the way the climbs are setup it felt exciting which is rare after climbing for nearly two years now They also have beer on tap (for members) which was surprising but seemed to really emphasize on the community focused aspect and their smaller membership size One other drawback as I think back is this location is honestly terrible for parking as it's on a busy corridor of Van Ness St so parking is really only good after 6 PM since meters stop charging then. If I take all these into consideration this place would be a 4.5 stars. I really like their sets, they have a two-week membership that is $50 / two-week period with discounts for students and Medi-cal You can probably try most of their problems within the two week period given how small the gym is but for now I see this as a slept on gym primarily because it doesn't have the same presence that larger corporate gyms in the Bay have
