Drop Shots HTX is more than just pickleball, it also offers a sleek full bar, indoor courts, a scratch kitchen, a second-floor lounge with arcade games, lounge seating and a 9-screen sports wall that could be used for private events or birthday parties.
“Some venues lean into serious competition, we lean into fun,” Co-founder Shawn Outlaw said. “We’re the only indoor pickleball facility inside the Loop with a full bar, kitchen, lounge and patio. But more than that, we’re the only one that feels like your new favorite neighborhood hangout, even if you never touch a paddle.”
Drop Shot HTX offers 10 signature pickleball-themed cocktails, as well as pizzas, premium sandwiches and acai bowls from Clutch City Kitchen. The space also hosts rotating events like Glow-In-the-Dark Fridays, Tacos & Tequila Saturdays and Pancakes & Pickleball mornings.
