PKL Social

PKL Social is a pickleball-driven sports bar and beer garden in Houston's Heights/Washington Corridor area, opened in March 2024 on Shepherd Drive beside its sister restaurant FM Kitchen & Bar. In August 2025 the two concepts merged under the PKL Social name, and a 2025 expansion added golf simulators, four pickleball courts, 25-plus screens, and a large patio. The full-service bar runs a real zero-proof program anchored on Cut Above, a Houston-made non-alcoholic spirits brand. Press coverage of the venue's mocktails highlights the Pa'no'ma (Cut Above Agave Blanco, grapefruit, lime, agave), a Gin & Tonic on Cut Above Gin, and a spicy mezcal-style margarita with Cut Above, pineapple, lime, agave, and jalapeño, plus a house non-alcoholic PKL Cherry Limeade. The restaurant and beer garden are all-ages; the pickleball and golf-sim areas are 21+.
