Bell’s Hell’s Kitchen Pickleball Club Event: A new kind of pickleball-inspired social event is launching in New York City on August 2, 2025. Hosted at Bell’s Hell’s Kitchen Pickleball Club from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., the Courted Series offers music, drinks, and casual play—not a tournament, but a social vibe with paddles.
The Courted Series, created by The Dink and powered by Buick, blends open pickleball play with lounge-style relaxation and social interaction. This experience is designed especially for young professionals who want to move, mingle, and have fun—even if they’ve never played pickleball before.

What’s Happening on Court
Attendees can rally, hit, or even just fake it on the court. There will be mini games and open play, allowing people of all skill levels to jump in. Special guest Riley Newman, a professional player from Major League Pickleball’s Brooklyn team, will also be part of the action.
Players will also get the chance to try out the Buick Envista, which will be on-site for a hands-on brand experience.
Off-Court Activities
The event is more than just pickleball. A live DJ will be spinning music throughout the day to keep the energy high. Drinks such as spritzes, beers, and mocktails will be served at a courtside lounge, offering a laid-back setting to relax and meet new people.
The event organizers added, “Came solo? Leave with new group chats.” The Courted Series promises to be a space where newcomers can feel welcome, make connections, and experience something new.
Looking Forward
With no pressure to compete and everything designed for connection and fun, the Courted Series is shaping up to be a new favorite for the city’s social crowd. More cities could be added in the future, making this the beginning of a fresh take on community pickleball events.
