    My friend had been trying to get me to play pickleball with him for months. I decided to bite the bullet and go out with him to play a few rounds. We went to DinkSF and I had an amazing experience. I'm glad my first time was with this venue and now I'm on Amazon looking at pickleball equipment to purchase. I would probably be in better shape if I didn't ignore my friend's requests to play with him for so many months. The staff is incredibly friendly and the courts are well-maintained. Highly recommended!

    Upper level court. 1 of 2 courts. All court surfaces are made of plastic tiles.

    Friendly staff and very cool building! I decided not to play due to the court surface is plastic tiles. The tile are made from basketball and pickleball but the bounce isn't true for pickleball. In my experience the ball doesn't bounce correctly if it lands were the tiles connect sometimes. At the time of this post the lighting was poor. (I brighten the photos to show more details) I was told more lights will be added in the future. Could be suitable for beginners to learn the game but I don't recommend it for advance beginners or advance players.

    Cool indoor padel and pickleball place. The courts were nice. The only downside is their lights…read more They were positioned so that one side of the court was like looking into the sun. Also, we were there on a cool day, and we were all sweating. A fan or some cross ventilation would be great. Nice setup, there are locker rooms for changing, a warmup/workout area, a snack area and a retail area. Great use of the old airplane hangar!!!!

    Really disappointing experience at Bay Padel's glow-in-the-dark event…read more The event was clearly overbooked to a ridiculous degree. We arrived just after the recommended regular arrival time expecting to actually play, only to be told that the earliest available time was roughly two hours later, while pickleball had a wait of around four hours. For a paid, ticketed event costing $80+, that's completely unacceptable. If you're selling tickets, there should be some reasonable relationship between the number of people admitted and the actual capacity of the courts and venue. We waited around for about half an hour but ultimately left without playing anything and without even getting a drink. The most frustrating part is that none of this was communicated beforehand. Had we known that buying a ticket effectively meant standing around for hours hoping to get a court, we never would have gone. It felt less like a properly organized event and more like they simply sold as many tickets as possible without much regard for whether attendees could actually participate. Extremely poor planning and a terrible customer experience.

The courts themselves are nice but the nets weren't put together properly and sometimes need adjusting, or creative ways to fix them. Parking is pretty easy in the area and food choices in the area are good too.

    Clean and colorful pickleball courts reservable for $6 every half hour, super easy to book online,…read moreunlike other parks and pickleball courts in the city that are seemingly impossible to find an available slot due to popularity. We planned to play this past Sunday, and everything went smoothly. Communication was detailed clearly via email, parking was even easy to find the day of according to their instructions, and we enjoyed the carefree atmosphere the entire time we were there (fairly private and quiet since there are only two pickleball courts on site). Only problem was that I never received the gate code to the courts neither via email nor text message... so yeah that would have been a problem if someone didn't open it from the inside at my reservation time. I emailed them about this later, and they were apologetic about the mishap and quick to give me a refund. I appreciate their attention to the matter and effort to make things right.

    I began coming here when there was a pandemic discount. Then I stopped. Then I restarted…read more Prices keep going up but I enjoy it. Amazing staff--very kind and helpful, they're personable and help me when I need a specific court or want to book something or need my rackets restrung. They know my name and are very thoughtful--always with a smile. Shoutout to club manager Jake Stafford and tennis racket stringer Gary Bender. I love them and the front desk staff and cleaning crew--everyone is very friendly, helpful, understanding, and accommodating. Multiple times, I have booked courts and had to cancel (or mixed up my court times) and they've helped remedy the situation. Facilities are very nice--I love the pool, hot tub, locker rooms, and courts. The lights are good for night playing and there's some nice seating by the pickleball courts. The views are so good--I love seeing high rises and the Bay and Salesforce Tower looming behind over the club. I love the app for booking courts (and also book classes at Bay Club SF which is further down along the Embarcadero.) Gateway also has a few classes (like a weekly yoga on the grass.) Location is very convenient near downtown and the financial district. It's served by multiple Muni lines and BART and Muni Metro, and there's street parking and a small lot too! My one nit--I miss when there was more workout equipment and more socials and classes! I wish more people went to drop-in pickleball.

    Very disappointing experience. My daughter is a Bay Club member and has guest passes available. I…read morecame with her membership information, including her member ID code, and was willing to pay for my guest pass. However, because she wasn't physically present, the office employee refused to help and was very not nice throughout the interaction. What made the experience even more frustrating was that they had me fill out a form with all of my personal information before ultimately refusing to process the visit. The from desk young guys was better but the other older lady no. I completely understand that clubs have policies, but customer service matters. The way this situation was handled left a very negative impression because I felt they thought I was not telling the truth. Also my daughter had day passes available and was willing to FaceTime but they did not even give me the chance.

    I'm a big Bay Club fan!…read more Great facilities and classes and pool and basketball court. I love just shooting around--not many places to do that in SF it seems (and some of the public courts intimidate me because people play pick-up!). The rooftop view is wonderful. You can take classes there and also just workout by yourself. Classes-wise, I'm a fan of Ignite (kinda like Barry's) and Zumba and some of their yoga classes. I must, however, give the biggest of shoutouts to - Romina, who teaches barre, dance, and mat pilates. Her classes make my day! She has great energy and is hilarious and kind and welcoming. She deserves a raise and so much love! I'll take anything with her. - Andres who teaches some spin classes--he's a real SF cyclist and pushes people hard. I love his instruction. There's a smoothie-making robot upstairs and some space to work from. They're always remodeling and adapting and adding new classes and revamping one of the many levels (it's a big building.) One day, this tennis player will try squash! I like the diversity of classes. This location is not the easiest to get to public transit-wise, but it's worth getting to! Or walking or biking or running to.
