Rally Pickleball

Description: Informal, contemporary hangout with indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, craft cocktails and gourmet coffee.

Comments: Plenty of space here. Definitely not the spot if you’re looking for peace and quiet, but top tier if you want a lively, energetic, and social crowd. You don’t have to come for pickleball either. It’s also a restaurant, bar, and café serving coffee, pastries, lattes, smoothies, and tea. Whatever you’re in the mood for, they’ve got it.

If you’re planning to hang out and work on your laptop, bring noise-canceling headphones (the Sony XM4s are still the all-time champs). There’s always music playing and the sound of pickleball paddles in the background, but it’s still a solid work spot if you don’t mind a little noise. Mornings are much calmer, and there’s a ton of lounge-style seating, comfy couches, and tables. If it’s warm, there’s also tons of outdoor seating.

The food is solid, parking is free, and the staff are really friendly. It’s clear they’re intentional about making people feel welcome and giving the space a laid-back, friendly vibe. Everyone I’ve talked to has been easygoing and helpful. Good vibes all around.
