The hotly anticipated pickleball entertainment venue Electric Pickle officially opens Monday in south Tempe.

The big picture: Dubbed the "Topgolf of Pickleball," the bar, restaurant and pickleball combo will be the first in the nation. In addition to nine pickleball courts, the facility features a two-story indoor/outdoor restaurant, golf simulators, bocce ball, private cabanas, ping pong tables and a stage for live music.

Zoom in: Electric Pickle, located just south of IKEA near Interstate 10 and Warner Road, goes beyond standard bar fare. The restaurant's menu features seared ahi, short ribs and barbacoa nachos.

Unique cocktail options include spiked slushies and a guava mojito.

How it works: Serious pickleballers can invest in a $100 monthly membership that includes discounted court and golf simulator rentals and unlimited open play.

Players can make one-time court and simulator reservations online and in person.
Restaurant reservations can also be made online.

What's next: Electric Pickle has plans to open additional locations in Nevada, Texas and California.
