The Sandy Pickle at The Village Dallas Adds Happy Hour and New Membership Tiers
Pickleball venues tend to oversell the community angle and undersell the bar. The Sandy Pickle, the sport-and-social complex tucked into The Village Dallas at 5683 Village Glen Drive, has always understood that the two are inseparable. Now, ahead of patio season, the venue is making a more explicit case for both, with a new weekday happy hour and a tiered membership program that gives regulars a reason to commit.
The happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m., with half-price signature cocktails across the board. The Spicy Pickle Margarita is the natural anchor. Pickleback shots, a nod to the venue’s name and its bar instincts in equal measure, are also in rotation. It is a straightforward offer, which is part of what makes it work. After-work in East Dallas now has an address.
The membership program introduces three tiers built around how seriously you want to take any of this. The Social Serve tier, at $49 per month or $550 per year, covers free open play, 10 percent off retail, and 25 percent off ticketed events. It is the right entry point for the player who shows up when the weather cooperates and the group chat pings at the right time. The Court Regular membership, at $99 per month or $1,050 per year, adds four hours of dedicated court time each month, waived paddle rentals, and 50 percent off events, a reasonable investment for anyone running a standing game. At the top end, the VIP Rally tier runs $199 per month or $2,000 per year and includes eight monthly hours of court time, waived rentals, and two complimentary tickets to each ticketed event, which, for a venue that runs leagues, live music, and themed nights with some regularity, is genuinely useful.
The venue itself gives all of this room to breathe. The Sandy Pickle features multiple pickleball and volleyball courts, a full-service bar, a putting green, and golf simulators [](https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-sandy-pickle-dallas), along with an Oasis deck overlooking the courts and a covered patio at the main bar. The Dallas Observer named it the city’s best pickleball spot in 2025. [](https://www.facebook.com/sandypickledallas/) The rotating weekend food truck lineup keeps the food side from going stale. The venue does not try to be a restaurant, which is one of the smarter decisions it has made.
Court hours run Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The bar opens later: noon on weekdays, 11 a.m. on weekends, and stays in step with court closing both days. Membership details and court reservations are available at playsandypickle.com.
