Pickleball

Pickleball Restaurants Coming to the Lowcountry

Perhaps closer to ping pong and badminton, it’s played on a court that is similar to but smaller than a tennis court and even comes with a kitchen. To learn more about it, watch this video. And if you are already a local player, have you heard about the two new pickleball developments being developed in Mount Pleasant and Summerville? Crush Yard is a club and casual restaurant complex that will soon open off Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant. The 40,000-sf complex will have 8 indoor courts, shuffleboard, outdoor fire pits, live music, and yard games. Read more here. The Pickle Bar, a similar-sized facility, will be opening in Nexton in Summerville in 2023. This restaurant-retail-recreation concept will bring together 9 outdoor pickleball courts, a game yard, a stage and a southern-inspired bar and restaurant. Read more here.
