San Antonio’s Chicken N Pickle: While the brisk winds of winter might not traditionally align with pickleball, one San Antonio venue is offering a unique blend of sport and holiday cheer. Starting November 22, Chicken N Pickle is introducing transparent igloos as the perfect spot for après-pickleball relaxation. Guests can continue to play their favorite sport throughout the colder months, but with the added treat of cozy, igloo-style tents, each offering a festive ambiance and a seasonal cocktail menu.
A Growing Trend in Outdoor Dining
Transparent igloo tents have become a popular feature in nightlife, especially among bars, restaurants, and hotels. The appeal lies in their ability to provide a private, cozy setting for patrons while embracing the outdoor winter atmosphere.
Chicken N Pickle, a College Station-based chain, is stepping into the trend by combining pickleball with an immersive holiday experience, setting itself apart with unique offerings like themed drinks and an inviting, festive setting.
A Special Experience for Adults
To reserve an igloo at Chicken N Pickle, guests must be at least 21 years old. The igloos are available for private reservations or on a first-come, first-served basis, making it easy for visitors to enjoy the atmosphere in their own way.
Inside the igloos, guests are greeted with winter-themed decor, including holiday foliage, ornaments, and cozy furnishings.
The small seating area, complete with a couch, coffee table, and holiday knick-knacks, creates a homey environment, perfect for relaxing after a round of pickleball. Each igloo can comfortably host up to eight people, making it an ideal setting for a small group looking to escape the winter chill.
Themed Cocktails and Holiday Cheer
No winter retreat would be complete without a festive drink. Chicken N Pickle is serving up 11 themed cocktails, from martini flights to creative concoctions like “Wake Up Frosty” — a blend of Ketel One, Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur, cold brew, and vanilla.
Another standout, the “Northern Lights,” features a blend of blueberry-infused Bombay Sapphire Gin, Giffard Blackberry Liqueur, and edible glitter for that magical holiday touch. Of course, those less inclined toward seasonal drinks can opt for a more traditional beer, wine, or cocktail selection.
