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.

I came here because of all the 5 star reviews. My friends were visiting town and I thought it would…read morebe a cool experience to pickle at the Palace of Fine Arts. BUT THEY ACTUALLY MOVED.... I didn't realize that they moved to the Church Of 8 Wheels. Great business idea of the reuse of space but I felt like I was catfished. I booked reservations online they were $25 per person, in person it was $20... Its normally really windy and cold in SF and it felt nice being able to pickle indoors. Air circulation was not the best though. Improvement Opportunities for the Business: 1. Pickle Ball Lines & Roller Skating Lines were both white. The further courts had multiple white lines. It could be confusing at first. 2. Paddling Queue System was in the middle between courts. It was a distraction for me when I was playing because people were walking between courts to place down their paddles. 3. Dead spots on the ground... There were some dead spots on the ground because of all the rollerblading streaks. Also the ground was a bit slippery.

I've met so many great people, coaches, and really think my pickleball skills have improved by practicing here. It's a super fun way to meet people on top of getting an incredible workout! One of the owners, John, is very sweet and welcoming. He would watch when I play and give me pointers that have really helped improve my game! I've seen him do this for everyone and you can tell he's really passionate about helping others improve. Whether you're a pro at pickleball, or just learning, I highly recommend coming to DinkSF!

I had high hopes about trying this program again, and my experience with the coaches was positive…read more Unfortunately, my final class was rained out and rescheduled for the following week. I signed up based on the original schedule, and the cancellation was completely outside of my control. When I couldn't attend the rescheduled class, I was told I would forfeit the class without any exception or credit. I understand that businesses need policies, but I was disappointed by the lack of flexibility in a situation caused by weather and a schedule change initiated by the organization. A one-time exception or make-up option would have gone a long way. This rating does not reflect the quality of the coaches, who were great. The 3 stars are due to the rigidity of the scheduling and attendance policies.

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.

I feel so fortunate to be learning tennis from scratch with Coach Paul. My husband and I had never…read moreplayed tennis before and decided to take a lesson, or clinic. Starting from zero can be intimidating, but Paul is excellent at explaining the basics while keeping the clinic fun. I appreciate that Paul's clinic has a structured approach, ensuring we warm up properly, learn swing techniques, and enjoy playing against each other. Each clinic is capped at 6 people and lasts 90 minutes. Paul pays close attention to each student, providing immediate corrections and recommendations. This helps us know what to improve, making the 90-minute clinic engaging and productive. Most importantly, it's always a good vibe at Paul's tennis clinic, making it a great place to learn a new sport, stay active, and meet new tennis friends!

Came here with some friends for a networking event…read more Good: - The coaches were excellent at teaching a group of 8 - everyone got a fair amount of time to play - The facility is huge and there's a lot in the space, including weights - Nice refrigerator with drinks stocked Bad: - The place only has 2 courts so it was hard to get play time once we got to free play time - Pricey!

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.
