CityPickle Long Island City

CityPickle LIC is frustrating to deal with. I’ve actually had some good experiences here — I’ve enjoyed lessons with Dylan, and even hosted a birthday party at this location. That said, the overall experience is outweighed by some serious issues. The courts are extremely cramped. Speakers overhang the courts and actively interfere with lobs, and the dividers between courts feel like a tripping hazard. Overall, the setup feels poorly thought out and cheaply maintained. My biggest frustration, though, is their customer service. CityPickle has no phone number to call, and email responses are painfully slow. Unlike other facilities that try to work with their players, CityPickle is rigid and unaccommodating. They initially refused to offer any credit for hazardous driving conditions during a snowstorm — even when I had an ankle sprain. A credit was only offered after I explicitly mentioned my injury. I constantly have to battle their email team to use a $20 credit. For a company that charges premium prices, the courts and customer service feel anything but premium.

Solid place for drinks and drinks! You can book online and it's all weather. Highly recommend for groups - made for a great company event

First time at CityPickle LIC and I already can’t wait to come back! The staff was super friendly and welcoming — the front desk made everything so easy. I’ve been to a few pickleball spots, but this one has such a fun, social vibe. They even have a bar and kitchen, which makes it feel like a whole experience, not just a game. Jordan made me the Rum in the Coconut — seriously so refreshing with the coconut water! 10/10 — such a good time!

I do not recommend these courts for anyone other than beginners just learning to play. The courts are right on top of one another with inadequate spacing between courts or behind the service line to be able to serve without hitting a wall behind you or a player from the court behind you with your back swing. Balls from other courts are constantly coming onto your court. The court surface is just painted concrete and the lightning is also poor.

Keepin it real in LIC Got invited to an event (not a paid customer) and it was honestly pretty fun. Some of the best indoor courts out there, even has a lounge and food area to hangout. Plenty of seats on the side to watch your friends play as well. Def an ideal spot for pickleball
