Pickleball just got a major upgrade. Houston’s Midtown, Solarium is a new, upscale destination blending racket sports with stylish dining and socializing. Created by Rex Hospitality Group (the team behind MAVEN Coffee + Cocktails) in partnership with The Kirby Group, this 9,000-square-foot, multi-level space reimagines the traditional sports lounge experience.
At Solarium, guests can enjoy elevated menus, VIP experiences, and lively games of pickleball and padel—all in a vibrant, luxurious setting. The venue features a striking indoor-outdoor glass-enclosed bar, earthy-chic interiors, and an expansive patio called The Courts, home to four pickleball and two padel courts. Five private bays, crafted from repurposed shipping containers, offer air-conditioned comfort for private events or competitive play.
The all-day menu puts a creative twist on classic clubhouse favorites, offering dishes like bang bang shrimp, truffle grilled cheese, and decadent brunch options such as Belgian waffles and shakshuka. A dynamic cocktail program highlights signature sips, frozen drinks, and zero-proof options, with brunch classics like mimosas rounding out the offerings.
Pickleball and padel fans can reserve courts online or in person, with pricing starting at $10. Solarium also houses a pro shop for gear rentals, merchandise, and grab-and-go snacks.
With pickleball’s explosive popularity and the rising appeal of padel, Solarium offers a fresh, fashionable way to connect, compete, and unwind.
