The People’s Courts Open in Portland August 2023 With Two Restaurants | Eater Portland

"Opening August 25, the People’s Courts is a sprawling 48,000-square-foot rec center and social space at 2700 NE 82nd Avenue that pairs extensive games and sports—including five indoor and six outdoor pickleball courts, bocce ball, indoor disc golf, cornhole, ping pong, and an arcade—with two on-site restaurants and full bars. The bars keep several Oregon beers (including Level and Migration) and ciders from Bauman’s and Double Mountain, offer two cocktails on tap (a Vieux Carré and a margarita finished with a blood-orange syrup float), and make cocktails and mocktails to order using local distilleries; one signature example is the Dink Drink with Rose City gin and Wild Roots marionberry vodka paired with kombucha and bubbles. As a playful nod to the courts, whiskey shots can be served with picklebacks." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

Portland Pickleball Venue Swings Open This Summer With Big-Name Restaurant | Eater Portland

"Opening this summer in a 48,000-square-foot facility near the Rose City Golf Course at 2700 NE 82nd Avenue, I’m intrigued by a massive indoor–outdoor sports-entertainment venue that pairs pickleball (five full-size indoor courts plus six outdoor courts and “skinny singles”) with bocce, ping-pong, cornhole, an arcade (partnering with Quarter World), and a nine-hole putt-putt–style disc golf course. The food program—backed by Nate Tilden of Olympia Provisions and Brian Spangler of Apizza Scholls—reads as one restaurant split across two kitchens: the Parlor will focus on 12-inch, tavern-style pizza cooked in a deck oven with classic toppings like fresh vegetables, pepperoni, house-made fennel sausage, mozzarella, and pecorino, and will also serve soft-serve ice cream; the Kitchen will produce rice bowls (offering gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan options), smash-style griddle burgers, salads, and Olympia Provisions sausages such as frankfurter, bratwurst, and Käsekrainer. Both kitchens have full bars pouring a Pacific Northwest tap selection plus cocktails and wine, with pitchers available so people can eat and drink while watching friends play; courts can be rented by the hour with open-play windows, and the developers say the concept is meant to be accessible, family-friendly, and fun. The People’s Courts is developed by Dave Sacks, Dave Schrott, and Robert Sacks and is expected to operate roughly 9 a.m.–10 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m.–midnight on weekends." - Clair Lorell

I recently hosted my 50th birthday party at The People’s Courts, and it was absolutely perfect! We had such a great time—everyone loved playing pickleball, and the venue had the ideal mix of fun and relaxed energy. The food was really good, the space was just right for watching the game, and the service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. It’s such a well-run place and a fantastic spot for any kind of celebration. Highly recommend!

This place is AWESOME! Pickleball, yes. But what about Bocce, ping pong, corn hole, axe throwing, and fantastic food to boot? This place has it all. Our kids had a blast and so did we. Come give it a shot! BTW, we got in with our Pogo Pass!

The People’s Court is such a gem in Portland! They’ve got the best beer rotation around with always something new and solid on tap. Plus, it’s a total hidden spot for vegans to grub. The beyond pickle burgers and vegan thin crust cheese pizza are legit, and the meatless mcchick’n is fire. The vibe is super chill, staff is always cool, and it’s just an all-around fun place to hang out with friends, play some games, and enjoy great food and drinks. Definitely one of my go-to spots in the city.

We recently had a work event and it was amazing from start to finish. Everything went so smoothly, and the staff made the whole experience stress-free and super enjoyable. The space was awesome —really clean, well set up, and had a great fun vibe. The layout worked great for our group, with plenty of room to move around and still feel connected. Big shoutout to the team—they were awesome. Super friendly, on top of everything, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure everyone had a good time. Any little request we had, they handled it right away without a fuss. The food was amazing! Overall, just a great experience all around. If you're thinking about hosting an event, definitely check this place out. Couldn't be happier with how it all turned out!

We hosted our daughter's 13th birthday party here for ten of her friends and we HAD THE BEST TIME. Like, seriously — every single minute was a delight, from the way we were greeted by the staff, having the run of the Den (which was absolutely perfect for the kids [all age 12-14]), the arcade, the food, the ice cream, letting them get their own sodas (huge hit), and then just being able to all play on the courts together. It was just an absolute delight and success from start to finish. Everyone had so much fun -- even though I don't think anyone actually hit a single ball over the net properly. I might have had the best time of all, because just watching kids have fun was pure joy. Thank you, People's Courts -- it was a great day.

We held a party here and reserved the Den, it is a fantastic space! Everyone from toddlers to grandparents found something fun to do with the arcade, big screen tvs, cornhole and, of course pickleball! Staff was super helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend for get togethers or parties!!

Indoor pickleball courts that are air conditioned. Inside is two bars with a good food menu of sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, and rice bowls. Prices aren't insane. There's also an arcade, ping pong tables, and some other games that I didn't play. Overall, staff was helpful and there was rental equipment available as I didn't have my own. Good place to play.

This place is SO wonderful! We had our son's graduation party hosted here (after several other great experiences of going there as a family) and it was such a great experience! Michelle and her team were wonderful about communication and meeting our needs and the staff the day of the party was excellent. Would highly recommend this spot for any upcoming celebrations you have! Our son and his friends had SO much fun...guests from ages 13-73 ALL enjoyed it!

It's a good / average place if you're there to play pickleball. There are indoor and outdoor courts. They have a bar for drinks and bar food - but I wouldn't go there for the food. There are plenty of parking space.

I'm a racquet/ paddle kind of person! I've played competitively in badminton, racquetball, tennis and ping pong. I'm getting up there in age, and friends my age have been transitioning to pickleball. I tried it several years ago, but my knees weren't having it. Decided pickleball wasn't for me. Fast forward a few years. A friend told me that there was a friend on Facebook that was starting a pickleball group. I asked to join the group. I like staying social and active in my old age. For our first get together we decided on a location that was centrally located of where everyone was coming from. I'm in Hillsboro, one was from Vancouver and another was coming from Troutdale. We decided on The People's Courts. I like that there was plenty of parking. I entered the building and it was spacious with plenty of courts, good lighting. I got there early and since I hadn't eaten yet, went to The Kitchen (I love the reference to "kitchen" in pickleball!) to see what they had. There were a few vegan items, I ended up getting fries and a coke zero while waiting for friends. When my friend that made the court reservation got there, there was a mix up with his reservation. He tried to reserve online, but was unsuccessful. So he called and spoke with someone. The problem was that the reservation was for last month. Availability was now more limited. We ended up getting an outdoor court for half an hour. I actually liked playing outdoors, though it was a warm day. We got The Bunker down in the basement for the next hour. I kind of liked it down there because it was private and had fun music playing! We didn't really know the rules, so we just rallied around. It was a great workout! Upstairs, it looked like plenty of courts, plenty of seating areas to gather and be social. Ping pong tables, corn hole thingies. I saw an arcade. Everything you need to have a fun time!

Detroit pizza was AMAZING. Arrived hot and delicious, and reheated very well up to two days later (if it lasts that long). 10/10

We had our company holiday event at The People's Court and it was 10 out of 10. I love the idea of an interactive event vs sitting at a dining table. We had a personalized sign upon entering, amazing drink menu, delicious appetizers and food and fun sports to play. Everyone enjoyed feeling young again and just playing pickleball, bocce ball and cornhole. They even let us box the leftover food and take it home!

Honestly was super disappointed, didn't feel like it was a great place, the food was mid, the games were ehh, it was way too hot inside, and they honestly don't even know anything about what they represent. It's like they had a bag of money laying around and said "let's make a really bad pickleball play place for people with money to burn!" If I could give a zero I would. The whole vibe of the place was sub par at most, a cruddy version of an actually fun sport at best.

This is not just an indoor Pickleball facility, but they also have other fun games like indoor disk golf, Ping Pong, Arcade, bocce, and cornhole. In addition, they have two restaurants. One serves pizza, and the other has a larger many with many choices of alcoholic drinks. My main interest in pickleball. They have five indoor and six outdoor courts. I would go there not just for pickleball but also for the food and drinks too. Our exprience so far has been very positive. Everyone is positive, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere there is festive and feels like a party. Parking is not an issue, as they have plenty of spots. The pickleball court prices are on the expensive side, so I recommend going there in a group of four. It makes it more tolerable.

Super friendly staff who are eager to help. First timers such as us full of questions and excitement. We had an indoor court for an hour loved it would definitely return! It is a little spendy but if you were to share cost with a group not bad at all. We had a blast and a good work out.

Cool spot for Pickleball, bocce, and ping-pong. Somewhere to put your drink while playing ping-pong would be great. Could also use some hooks in the changing area in the bathroom. Overall, a solid place to spend some time.

On first visit, I've had no issues. Air conditioned indoor pickleball courts and they also had what looked like 2 singles sized courts along with a dinking sized court. 6 outdoor pickleball courts as well. Corn hole in between pickleball courts and bocci on the outsides along with a whole setup for table tennis made this place an interesting mix of sports all in one place. They have an arcade with throwback games as well as pinball and they said their putt putt style disc golf was opening soon (basement) Only played pickleball there but the facility was clean, the courts well made, and everything taken care of so far. The only down side is the ceilings are too low. It doesn't come into account for normal play but it rules out some shots (lobs mostly) I'd say for pickleball, it might be better suited for drinking and having fun while playing versus competitive pickleball. It has a bowling alley vibe with bar seating overlooking all the courts. Full restaurant and bar were open but didn't get to try it

Got a chance to have an office happy hour here and it's definitely a great spot for both activities and food/drinks. There are plenty to do here: pickle ball, bocce ball, table tennis, and even a disc golf putt-putt! The space is super large too. The food they provided was tasty. The Thai Meatballs packed a punch and had strong curry flavors. I also really enjoyed their Tater Tots. Drinks were also exceptional. Even their on tap Punch and Magarita were delicious.

Idea is cool! Playing physical games there were no fans, I saw 2 against the wall of bocce ball court, but no plug ins! Music that was on overhead was low and terrible, at the very least I'd say play today's hits so you get a mix of it all. Also the food menu was ok, I wanted to try the pizza but they only had 12" as their smallest, so I didn't. It was my first time there and the person working the front didn't give me a breakdown of where everything is etc. I found out from a friend when I left that there's a basement with courts too?!? I will probably go back with a group and give it another go, but it was underwhelming.

It's definitely a fun place to go. Lots of pickle ball courts, corn hole, bocce ball, ping pong tables, and a small arcade make for a great place for a company event, family night or a fun date.

Really amazing space for pickleball and other merriment (pingpong, arcade games, corn hole, etc.). Easy online reservations process for booking a court, and the whole facility is well-maintained, clean, and ready to go. Only rec is to plan ahead and skip the food and drink options. The offerings are fine, but dang, the folks working those areas are consistently disgruntled and sometimes downright hostile. It's amazing how that kinda vibe can really kill your buzz after a fun time on the courts!

Finally got to check this out and I must say I love Pickleball! Came on a rainy evening and opted for the smaller court since there were only two of us. There seems to be a generous amount of time to play, so it's not like there's a timer going. My experience was that everything was very clean here, and we were able to play a good 30 minutes. The bar staff was nice and I got a margarita, and my friend a chilled Irish coffee. The fans on the courts could have been facing the players as it got pretty sweaty. The arcade has a mix of DDR (with an attached flat monitor,hehe), pinball, retro, and the Star Wars arcade. Would absolutely recommend for a big group as there's lots to do, but they did well for a small group too.

This People's Courts is such an awesome idea and area. My friends and I have been coming here for pickle ball and have so much fun every time we play. The space itself is well branded and in addition to pickle ball courts, it has food, drinks, and arcade games available. We love it here and can't wait for the next time we reserve courts!

The very best place to play pickleball in Portland. Excellent courts. Since their opening, they have gone out of their way to revise and tweak their schedule and prices to accommodate all players. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The people who show up for the open plays are the very best kind of fun. Sure, people are competitive, but not aggressive or oppressive. The culture at TPC is first and foremost "have fun" and make sure those who are just learning get supported. Food: good salads and bowls. Pizza is also good. Fine selection of beers, cocktails. Cider selection - dry is my jam - is a bit limited. So happy they are busy and doing well!

It gets five stars because it's unique! It's a game room where you can play indoor pickleball, pingpong, bocce, disc golf -- am I missing anything? I know we have a few pingpong places in town, and I'm sure there are indoor pickleball courts, but I believe this is the only place where you can play so many games. It's sort of like a bowling alley (except without bowling) -- you pay at a desk up front, get your equipment, and then go play. Great spot for an office party or adult birthday party etc -- but you don't need a big group. It's also a nice place to bring visiting relatives who are ready for some more active experiences (especially if the weather is bad outside), or just go with a friend or two. (Not sure about going alone -- you could do disc golf solo, but the other games need a partner.) There is an extensive draft list, so if one of your friends doesn't want to bend more than the elbow, he will be fine! Cocktails and NA beverages too. There also is a variety of food options, but we didn't try them. (Psst...this place is right next door to a great pho place, Pho Oregon! That's where we went to eat.)

Okay...SO MUCH FUN! We went as a family tonight...FREE to play on Friday nights in February AMAZING! We all had a blast!!! If you want to play pickleball, you do need to make reservations. So we didn't get a chance to play pickleball, but we played corn hole and ping pong.

Great place to play during the better weather days in Oregon. The outdoor courts are nice and well maintained, lots of seating options both inside and outside for socializing too. The indoor courts are also nice but the ceilings are low making lobbing difficult. There's also a lot more than pickleball courts, there's food, a bar, arcade and other activities to enjoy.

Since this recreation building opened, I've been for pickleball, work bonding, hang out with friends. So nice to have a local pickleball court that serves food and beer, have plenty of seating for groups, have a variety of game options like disc golf, ping pong, corn hole, bocce ball, and arcade. Plenty of activities for everyone. Large parking lot is also a plus. Only downside is the cost to play and too crowded on Thursday-Saturday evenings. This is my go to pickleball locale.

This has quickly become our favorite place for all things fun! We've played Pickleball here a handful of times & tonight ate at the restaurant for the first time. We had low expectations, but were pleasantly surprised that the food was pretty good! I had the NOLA Fried Chicken Sandwich that has a bit of spice to it, yummy homemade coleslaw, unique pickles that really offset the spice of the chicken. My aunt had the Nathan's hotdog that was grilled, along with a grilled bun, and fries. The fry sauce was good too. We'll definitely eat there again and we're excited to try something new next time, like their Pho bowl, which looks very freshly made too. Such a fun place with Pickleball, ping pong, bocce ball, corn hole, and disc golf. Lots of choices for a fun time. This place would be a great idea for Corporate events.

So glad a place like this opened up in SE PDX! Plenty of things for everyone to do whether it's pickle ball, bocce ball, arcade, or just enjoying food and drinks. My first time playing and it was a blast. The courts were cleaned and well maintained. The employees were super helpful. I'll def be back.

Awesome courts, awesome arrangement of the whole place. All of the staff that we interacted with had a great gracious and friendly attitude. I can't remember when I saw SO many customers with huge smiles on their faces, laughing and socializing in the mix of activities. It felt like the way better, more adult but still family friendly version of the skating rink hang out of decades past. Super fun. Also, a big THANK YOU to one of your team members, Johnny (I believe), who pulled his car around to give us a jump start in the parking lot after we had spent hours inside playing pickleball, cornhole, skeeball, pong, & pinball. Apparently we accidentally hit the hazard lights, eventually draining the car battery.

TPC is amazing. Great pickleball courts, friendly staff, good hamburgers, a decent "semi-pro" shop with some cute merch. I wish it wasn't quite as expensive to rent courts and that you could rent a court for 90 mins after 5 but honestly love them and what a great addition to this area of town.

If you were advance 4.0+ , don't waste your time join the open play on Monday and Thursday night, other woman's old man's who claim the 4.0+ there wrong on there rating, they will try to slow you down so you can play at there level 3.0

Tricia W.

Yelp
Drop by to play some open Pickleball and there's only one court available and the people were sitting around for a turn. We're too tired to even dink. Low energy and not much availability to actually play Pickleball. I was on the willing to pay $15 to really do nothing when I can go to a local park and play which I did for over an hour and no Cost with people who actually wanted to play and not sit around talking about how they were too tired to do anything.

We were happy to see this being built, because we are curious about Pickleball! We checked it out yesterday, and instead of playing pickle ball we just opted for bocce ball. We had some yummy drinks and some tater tots and watched everyone around us having a lot of fun. Who knew but now I love bocce My daughter accidentally tripped and bonked her elbow and one of the staff came over and gave her ice cream to make her feel better. It was really sweet! We will definitely be back for some Pickleball action once we have a group.

THE place to play in Portland! The indoor courts are attractive, and SO MUCH QUIETER than any other indoor place I've ever played--which allows conversation and jokes in between points. The six outdoor courts are also lovely. Whether indoors or out, there's piped in music, which amps up the fun-factor. My friends and I love playing pickleball here, then enjoying a social beverage or two (great beers on tap) and having some food. The perfect location for a date night or fun with friends. Such a great addition to the Portland food + sports scene!
