Title: The Pickle Bar - Summerville, SC Great flavors, but takeout quality fell short We ordered two BBQ sandwiches on brioche buns for pickup today--one with onion rings and one with sweet potato fries. The Good: The actual BBQ meat, coleslaw, and pickle slices were very good and full of flavor. The Disappointing: Unfortunately, the bottom bun of both sandwiches was completely soaked through with liquid and totally unfit to eat. We had to throw the bottom buns away and eat the sandwiches with a knife and fork, which defeats the purpose of a sandwich. Since we ordered a bit late after the lunch crowd, our onion rings were cold, and the sweet potato fries were cold and limp. We usually order out so we don't have to cook, but I ended up having to reheat both sides in our kitchen. Once they were hot, they were actually pretty good! We didn't want to make another trip back to the restaurant to get it fixed, so we just made the best of it. Verdict: The food definitely has potential, but the takeout packaging and timing missed the mark today. If we decide to try it again, we will definitely "dine in" instead to make sure everything stays fresh. read more

Cool spot!! My husband and I came here to check the place out. We've never played pickle ball but we might start now! We sat outside around the pickle bar courts. We ordered the trio of dips: beer-cheese, pickle, and hummus. All were great but the pickle dip was our favorite!! It's a *must-try* if you're a pickle lover! Definitely check this place out for a unique experience :) read more

Overall Rating: 3.6 Atmosphere: 3.5 | Service: 3.0 | Food: 3.6 | Beers: 4.0 | Price Per Bite: 3.5 Very cool pickleball court plus restaurant with other activities, bands, and entertainment. Service is tad slow just because it is so spread out, but raise your flag and someone will come. Meals came out randomly at different times, mine was wrong and the waiter actually said "are you sure you ordered the pulled beef/pork sandwhich" when he handed me a grilled chicken. Food is typical sports bar offerings. All tasted great, but priced high. read more

The Pickle Bar was close to home and has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that's perfect for hanging out and grabbing a bite. We tried the Chucktown fries and nachos, and both hit the spot--loaded, flavorful, and great for sharing. I am big on seafood and French fries so it was the perfect mix. The vibe is energetic but relaxed, making it a great place to unwind with friends. Solid food, good portions, and a cool atmosphere make The Pickle Bar a spot worth checking out. read more

Food is hot and good always! Great atmosphere whether at bar or outside. Bartenders are personable and on point. Never disappointed.

Do I play pickle ball? No. Did I play pickle ball this day? Also no. It was raining and I believe there was one cold family out there braving the weather. I think there were heaters out there. Cannot confirm. ANYWAY! My husband and I wanted to check it out for future play dates. This place is awesome and I cannot wait to play! They have an abundance of courts, a retail shop upon entrance, and a fairly simple system when signing up. When I checked out the leagues they didn't have any that were opening in the near future so that was a bummer, but there are plenty of community leagues. Ok, so you have the retail shop, a large open area with plenty of tables and a stage for their musicians (check out their schedule). To the right is the bar area which is also very spacious with regular tables and half booths with a large number of chairs at the bar. There are a couple of games on the back wall, too. We tried the naked wings with a variety of sauces. I don't remember most, but I do remember the Carolina gold. Regardless, they were all delicious. The wings were a decent size, but cooked for maybe 30 seconds too long? Didn't stop us from demolishing them. The drinks were fantastic! I had two specialty cocktails - a blueberry vodka drink and a pumpkin spice latte espresso martini. Delicious and strong! I'd go back for the drinks alone. I wish I could remember the names of our bartender, the sauces and drinks, but I was enjoying everything so much I just didn't make note. The vibes, the company, the food and drink. It was a great day. Will return soon. read more

The Pickle Bar - Wing sauces. All delicious. Don't remember the names, sorry. - Bars Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Having visited once just for drinks, I can tell you this is a huge venue indoor and outdoor not just for Pickleball. They do have one ping-pong table and Golden Tee inside by the bar. They also have daily food and drink specials and happy hour. read more

This was my first time playing at this location and it was such a great experience. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The courts will easy to navigate as they were numbered. Plenty of equipment. Indoor and outdoor dining. Accessible restrooms and parking on property. There was a small stage outdoors in which a live performer went on as we were wrapping up our last game. The French fries were delicious as well as the quesadilla. The drinks looked amazing. I would definitely check out this spot again. read more

Great experience when a large group visited for a book club outing. We all ordered a variety of drinks and food. The waitress was so kind and sweet - and did a great job with hosting a big table of girls unexpectedly. The mules were great and also loved that they offer rotating sours! Would definitely pop by again, very welcoming and fun read more

The bar is a nice size and family oriented. Went during Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. I had food and drinks. The low side country quesadilla was amazing everything they put Inside it was perfect blend. The sauce that they drizzled on top was the perfect touch. The sweet potatoes fries were cooked to perfection with a light touch of salt. I never would have thought to put salt on sweet potatoes fries they are a must have. read more

A bar with a pickle theme?? What..like pickle margheritas?? Then I pulled up like OHHHHHHH!!!!! OF COOOOURSE!!! IM SO SLOW!!!! I get it, and I likes. First of all, Nexton is beautiful. When they finish it's going to be something special. Pickle players everywhere. You need reservations to get a court. THIS BAR AREA IS BERNANERS DUDE!!! So nice and clean in here. And it's ducked off in the cut. Impressed with the menu. I'm always looking for choices in menus. Hate mundane. The pickle dip is like feta meets dill. I loved it. Wraps and quesadillas were excellent. Some of the better sweet potato fries I've had in a minute. They also have some original cocktails. This was a great business idea. Athletics, good food, and spirits. ILL BE BACK!!!! read more

The OG Burger at The Pickle Bar turned out to be a stellar intro to this sporty, savory hangout. From the crispy fried pickles to the final fry, everything just worked. Consider us officially hooked -- and already plotting our next taste test adventure on the Pickle Bar menu. read more

I am not a pickleball player, but The Pickle Bar might convince me to become one! My spouse and I met a sizeable group from our neighborhood here. We were early, so we started at the bar. They have decent happy hour specials from 4 pm - 6 pm. The vibe is upscale sports bar. They also have karaoke nights and live music. Staff did a great job accommodating our group in the outdoor space. It was a warm and sunny evening. Servers were attentive and thorough. We each ordered a burger. It was tasty and the portions were generous. I would be happy to come back and maybe try out a pickleball lesson. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!! Not only have a celebrated my birthday here, taken lessons and clinics, but I also play in the open play sessions they offer. I find myself here multiple times a week and I've invited my friends and family to join on multiple occasions. I've loved getting to become a part of the picklebar community! The food here is delicious and I've almost ordered everything on the menu at this point. I am gluten free and I am very thankful that the menu offers gluten free selections. The service here has been wonderful. The servers have always been attentive to check on me even while I'm playing on the court. In addition, I know the kitchen is excellent when it comes to allergies or food limitations. I feel very safe eating here. The layout and design of this place is perfection. I love getting to have the outdoor courts outside with a nice area next to it for friends or family members to hang out at while some of us play pickleball. Not to mention, on Saturdays they usually have live music outside that just makes the atmosphere perfect! The picklebar is definitely becoming a very well rounded and welcoming community for not only pickleball enthusiasts. They also offer salsa, Zumba, host trivia nights, live music, and have an upcoming karaoke night!! read more

I usually enjoy time spent at the Pickle Bar, I've visited for a variety of reasons to include listening to live music in the "Yard", Happy Hour and even Karaoke on occasion. They advertised Karaoke at 6:30 pm on Instagram, needing a distraction from Christmas shopping and traffic, I thought I would check it out with a friend. Upon entering at 6:15 pm, I asked the tall slender male bar tender which side of the restaurant they would have Karaoke tonight. He says it's on the other side of the restaurant BUT at 6:00 pm we have a PRIVATE party in that room. WE are seating them FIRST and then we will let OTHERS enter that area. I said "It seems strange that you would advertise Karaoke to the PUBLIC at 6:30 but host a PRIVATE party in that room at 6:00 pm????? I then turned to walk away (in my mind this is tacky and I'm leaving) I hear the bar tender say in an extremely LOUD obnoxious voice "Well Have A Good Dayyyy". My advice to the business is, Remember that a business cannot survive on private parties alone. Remember the public will not patronize a business where they are made to feel second fiddle or treated with disregard. I don't think I'll return. The bar tender was rude and lacked appropriate customer service training. read more

What a concept!! I visited the pickle bar with some friends that were visiting the area. My group had never played pickle ball before, but we watched a quick YouTube video and gave it our best try. They do offer lessons from a local pro if that's more of your groove. The pickle bar offers both covered and uncovered courts and they are available to rent hourly. In addition to renting the court you can rent paddles and a pickle ball. If you prefer to bring your own paddles and ball, that is ok too! They have a full service bar so that you can indulge in your favorite drink while playing! They have some cool speciality cocktails, but I went with a beer from a local brewery. While you're playing, the staff comes and checks on you to see if you need additional drinks or if you want to order some bites. My only comment is that there needs to be a full fence that separates the courts. During our time playing, our ball rolled into the courts adjacent from ours and people had to stop their game. Besides this minor flaw, this place is awesome and I'll totally be back!! read more

Food was good. Service very good. No atmosphere and very Noisy. Not much if you don't gi to play pickleball.

I thought the food was bland, the waiter was sweet but It did take a while for the food to get out though, even though their wasn't much ppl at all. It nice inside and it's cool how you get to play pickle ball. read more

I went to the yelp event and it was a fantastic time. The food is fantastic and the drinks are great. The service is even better! They check on you and make sure you have everything you need! But my favorite part was the courts, they are well painted and lit, you can easily play at night. One of my favorite places near my house to have a good time at. read more

So much fun! We really love the open atmosphere, on-site restaurant, and availability of courts. They are in the new Nexton area and have a really cool vibe going on. I do get a little annoyed at the folks waiting for the court you are on 15 minutes or so before your hour is up, it would be nice if they had a staggered time or other buffer. We did have to wait for lessons to clear up 5 minutes into our time and then the instructor yelled at us for having our to-go container on the court, but no apologies for running late and eating into our time. Those are minor inconveniences but would be nice if they could figure a way out or enforce the time a little better. read more

My favorite place to play pickleball around here! Only wish I was closer, but it's worth the 30 minute drive. I love that they have an intermediate open play - since that's not an option that I've seen elsewhere. Also their open play pass is very reasonably priced so even though It's an hour roundtrip I still find it worthwhile. Looking forward to participating in more events there in the future! Thanks for putting together a great place! read more

Ive been wanting to try pickle ball and saw this place and had to check it out! Walked in without a reservation and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a very straight forward process and you can even get instructions to play or have lessons. They have a restaurant and a bar area and have servers walking around outside to get food and drinks. The outside patio is cute and has corn hole along with the courts you play on. read more

Didn't come to play the game; we came to eat the food. And it was fantastic! I had a grilled chicken sandwich with 'Hoppin Johnny' on the side. The appetizers were also excellent: the fried deviled eggs, a quesadilla, and a couple more for the table. And everything came out well prepared and hot. read more

One star is not my rating, it just gets me in to place my option of this place. Unless the prices on the menu include court time then I will never go here. Do your self a favor and look at the menu with prices before you decide to go here. Wings are a little over $2.00 each and the burger for $16.00, kids meal burger $10.00 is high but the best value. read more

This place is off the charts. First class operation. The Topgolf of pickleball. Staff is very welcoming.

I was so excited about visiting ! Here's the breakdown , if you plan on going on a hot day, book a covered court ahead of time. We played in an uncovered court in 95-degree weather with no clouds, and I kept having to stop because it was too much. The court is $20 for one hour, and I did not know you have to pay an additional $6 for paddles and $3 for a ball. The food was great, and the drinks were flowing, and overall, the service was great. They come to your court and bring you drinks and food as well. Definitely plan on coming back , I had so much fun read more

The ambiance was great. I visited on a Saturday evening with a reservation and they had live music start around 7pm. It was a fun atmosphere. The service wasn't as great. We waited at least 45 minutes before anyone came to the table, just to tell us they will help us and be right back. They never did come back. We saw that same worker help a bunch of other tables before finally a different worker came to us to get our order. Overall, it was still a nice experience since we were more focused on the game. read more

The food was great, and the service was great. Taking a star back because it's very loud and echoey and it was too difficult to carry a conversation. read more

Happy hour beer was $5.50, hearing good things about food & servers. Was nice just to see players pickling. Worth a visit

Fabulous food and environment! There is always something going on that is fun and the menu changes with yummy specials often! We highly recommend even if you don't play pickle ball. read more

We only reserved and played pickle ball, but great atmosphere and likely a hot spot when weather is a little nicer.

Great place, we had a large group in the summer with friends. The food and atmosphere were great and we all enjoyed some pickle ball.

This is my second time here and will be back. Even though I live downtown it is worth the little extra drive. The option of covered versus uncovered courts is awesome! The space is huge and the food and drink options are excellent. (Not to mention they carry High Noon so that's a big win for me) Keith gave us a little lesson and he's very thorough. He made me feel much more confident in my game. read more
