TEMPE, Ariz.—Electric Pickle, a new entertainment and dining venue in Tempe, has introduced a lineup of private event spaces for groups looking to combine sports, food, and socializing.
The nearly 5-acre complex features nine pickleball courts—four of them covered—along with a two-story indoor-outdoor restaurant, Full Swing golf simulators, bocce ball, ping pong, cornhole, a live-music stage, and cabanas. The venue can host private events for as few as 20 and up to 1,000 guests.
The four new event spaces include:
- The Ace Room: A semi-private room off the main dining area with seating for 50, sliding glass doors, and a built-in TV for presentations or sports viewing.
- The Top Shelf: A second-floor space with a private bar, golf simulators, balcony views of the courts, and a live-music stage. It seats 96 people and accommodates 130 standing guests.
- The Cabana Bar: Located next to the covered courts, with seating for 106 across the bar and patio lounge areas, it is geared toward groups wanting to stay close to gameplay.
- The Full Monty: A full-venue rental, including all courts, simulators, dining spaces, bars, entertainment zones, and restrooms. It can host up to 1,000 guests, with seating for 500.
Menu options include prix-fixe dinners for 12 to 22 guests and buffet-style spreads for larger groups. Signature items range from BBQ Pork Sliders and Hot Honey & Sausage Pizza to sushi-style Electric Rolls and Steak & Frites. The bar menu includes cocktails like a Pickle Martini, spiked slushies, and a jalapeño watermelon margarita.
Electric Pickle’s Tempe location is the first of several slated to open across the country, including Las Vegas and Reno, Nev., and Roseville and Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
