Massive pickleball and gaming facility opening soon at Camp North End
Tipsy Pickle, a new food-meets-sport space with six pickleball courts, opens Saturday, Feb. 22, at Camp North End.
Why it matters: Charlotte, like much of the nation, is working to keep up with the demand for pickleball courts. Plus, there's a growing appetite for places to play, hang out and grab a bite or a drink, too.
What to expect: Tipsy Pickle's 35,000-square-foot space holds more than 930 people total (roughly 150 outside) across its two floors. It includes:
Six pickleball courts — four indoor and two outdoor.
Two TrackMan golf simulators on the second level.
Three bars — two indoor and one outdoor.
31 TVs.
Four pool tables.
Seven classic arcade games.
Shuffleboard.
Darts
A private event space.
Dig in: The Tex-Mex-inspired menu has everything from tacos, quesadillas, and burritos to burgers, wraps, and pizza. Plus, nachos, guacamole and queso, of course.
There are also vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, plus a kid's menu.
Drinks include Giddy Goat coffee, cocktails on draft, beer and wine.
How it works: You can book a court two weeks in advance.
A pickleball court reservation costs $20 per hour Monday-Friday from 7am-5pm. It costs $40 per hour Monday-Friday from 5pm until close and all day Saturday and Sunday. You can bring your own paddles and balls or rent one for $5 per paddle (your rental includes pickleballs). You can also buy a paddle (prices vary). A court reservation accommodates eight people. Reach out to their events team if you have a larger party.
A golf simulator reservation costs $45 per hour Monday-Friday from 7am-5pm. It costs $65 per hour Monday-Friday from 5pm until close and all day Saturday and Sunday.
Pool tables cost $15 per hour. Shuffleboard, darts and arcade games are free.
Context: This is the first collaboration for Charlotte entrepreneurs Mike Salzarulo, the co-founder of Protagonist, and Tanner Brooks, the co-founder of Hopp.
The growth of pickleball's recreational side appealed to Brooks and Salzarulo, the co-owners told Axios in a 2024 interview.
Stop by: Tipsy Pickle is at 201 Camp Road.
It's open Monday-Thursday 7am until 10pm, Friday-Saturday 7am until 11pm and Sunday 7am until 9pm.
It's age 21-and-up after 9pm.
Camp North End has ample parking.

We Found Olivia Rodrigo's Exact Polka Dot Micro Shorts
Is there anything Olivia Rodrigo can't do? Before checking major milestones like "headline a major U.S. festival" and "collaborate with rock legend David Byrne of The Talking Heads" off her bucket list at last weekend's Governors Ball in New York City, she also further cemented her fashion icon status by nailing not one, but two of the summer's biggest trends in one budget-friendly outfit. Ahead of her headlining performance on Saturday, O-Rod was spotted strutting around NYC in a pair of linen polka dot micro shorts from Reformation. Not only is her exact pair somehow still in stock (although some sizes seem to be going fast!), they're just $98, so you can copy Olivia's look without blowing your budget. While the Sour songstress completed her ensemble with a rugged pair of biker-inspired boots to match her edgy aesthetic, it's easy to incorporate polka dots into preppy, classic, or vintage-inspired outfits, too. Dare we say it's one of the most versatile patterns out there? Not to mention, this isn't the first time the Grammy winner has been spotted wearing polka dots, further proving it's one of this year's hottest trends. If you're more into the micro shorts trend than polka dots, the Ref shorts come in solid colors, too. We've seen everyone from Dua Lipa to Daisy Edgar Jones and Dakota Johnson wear itty-bitty shorts, so it was only a matter of time before Olivia jumped on the trend. And spoiler alert: During her performance later that night, she wore yet another pair of hot pants, this time in a bold red complete with studs. If you're inspired to steal Liv's look but not inspired to dish out $98, we found more polka dot shorts in a variety of cuts starting at just $9. Looking for a denim version? We're big fans of the larger dots on this pair from ASOS. And while there are plenty of similar micro shorts available, we're also loving this longer style, ideal for Old Hollywood-inspired looks.
