All skill levels of people play here and it is very popular for tournaments. Tons of parking. I've done two of the beginner courses here and they strongly differ based on instructor. One was more drill-based, and the other was more focused on fundamentals. In both classes, the instructor gave plenty of time to each person. Would recommend! First timers do have to sign a short waiver, as with every other court.

No menus provided, you have to scan a QR code which i was not a fan of. I ordered the marinated chicken quesadillas and fried pickles, both were very flavorful, the order size of the fried pickles was a bit disappointing for 11 bucks. Also ordered the homemade popsicle, in strawberry which was refreshing. It was my bf's birthday so I asked if they did anything and they told me they would give an ice cream sandwich, but ended up with 1 sad chocolate chip cookie because apparently they ran out of ice cream. Can't really say I'd return unless I were to come and play pickle ball. Staff was friendly and service was decent.

The vibe seemed Kinda off at first, but the host was welcoming and the waitress struck the perfect balance: attentive but not hovering. I ordered off the HRW lunch menu: chopped salad, jumbo wings (not a happy gal with only 2 flats, flats over drums forever), chocolate cake (wasn't flourless but tasted that way, missing the walnuts) and a glass of house wine. A couple hiccups came up, but the staff fixed them quick. Well at least the ones I brought to their attention. The patio is spacious with city views, probably a whole mood at night. Bar had plenty of TVs going: tennis, golf, even WCT. Basically, a solid spot to chill with drinks and friends... just don't expect a flat wing miracle.

Pickleball has been all the craze for the last couple years. It's a struggle finding a park in town…read morewith pickleball courts that are not crowded so most people resort to court rentals. The Pickle Lab is the newest addition to the lineup of pickleball courts in town. Located in the Ion innovation area near Wheeler station, it's conveniently located for midtown/med center residents. You can reserve online - pricing is cheaper compared to most places in town. Parking is free in the adjacent lot for the first three hours. They have four outdoor courts and two indoor courts that are smaller. We chose to play outside and it was just our group and one other group playing. The nice girl who works there said most of their clientele are employees at the ion building and Rice students - both get 20% off. I think they're also super new that no one really knows they're there. The courts outside are nice and well lit at night. Only downside is they don't offer food. I wish they had at least a vending machine for snacks, however I believe they allow you to bring snacks in. They have free filtered water inside also. I guess you could also grab food across the street at one of the restaurants after playing. Overall as far as pickleball courts go it's a nice spot if you're strictly there to just play with friends without having to wait for your turn at a park. If you're looking for a court/restaurant/bar situation this is not it unfortunately. That being said we will be back for a few rounds of good old pickleball for sure!

They do a decent job of scheduling, getting refs, providing lighted fields. This is a way for me to play flag football year round. Locations of the games vary. They can be at the Sportsplex way down southeast w/ $3 gate fee (that gives you a token for a beer or drink). At Quillian which is by Beltway8 and Westpark. Or at various city parks around the town like Lawrence, Love, Springwoods Park, etc. It isn't that bad to register an entire team and split the cost. A good way to blow off some steam after work.

Who ever is running this league must be BANKIN', b/c in order to register a team, you must pony up $550, at least for football.

If you're considering joining The Downtown Met in Houston, do yourself a favor and don't. This…read moreplace is a complete disaster, hiding behind a nice location and slick marketing while delivering some of the worst customer service and member experience you'll find in the city. The communication is abysmal, particularly from Sarah and Alicia, who are repeatedly unresponsive and unhelpful. Emails go ignored, questions are dodged, and if you do finally get a reply, it's vague and often inaccurate. They don't follow up, they don't follow through, and unless you ask five or six times, you will not get any clear answers or confirmations. You are constantly left chasing them down just to get the most basic information. To make matters worse, they will charge you whatever they want, whenever they want, without warning, explanation, or approval. You won't be notified of fees or changes unless you hunt them down to ask. If you're offered a credit, promo, or adjustment, take a screenshot and save every email, because they certainly won't help you figure anything out after the fact. Once you've signed up, you're on your own. Bijan is somewhat more communicative, but not enough to make up for the chaos. There's clearly no leadership or accountability here -- it feels like a group project where no one knows what their role is, and no one really cares. Facility-wise, it's barely above average. Courts are often overbooked, the gym space is mediocre, and amenities are inconsistently maintained. You're paying premium rates for a second-rate experience across the board. Bottom line: The Downtown Met is a textbook case of mismanagement and indifference. For a place that calls itself a "premier fitness and tennis club," it operates more like a poorly run pop-up gym with no structure or respect for its members. Look elsewhere, literally anywhere else would be a better use of your time and money.
