Maple Grove's Pints & Paddle Combines Pickleball, Taproom, And Burgers

MAPLE GROVE, MN — A new concept restaurant is coming to Maple Grove that will combine the increasingly popular sport of pickleball, a taproom, plus casual dining.

Ryan Companies broke ground on Pints & Paddle last week. The 40,098-square-foot complex is slated to open in the fall of 2023.

"We cannot wait to introduce Pints & Paddle to everyone in Maple Grove and the surrounding cities," said Tim Skaja, one of the business partners, in a news release.

"Being from this community, we noticed an opportunity to provide more access to pickleball year-round to people on this side of town. There’s nothing like this here."

Pints & Paddle will be located at The Grove off I-94 and Highway 610. It will feature 10 indoor pickleball courts, a self-pour beer and wine tap wall, plus burgers and more.

Malone's Bar and Grill will debut a "rapid-order and pick-up" restaurant in the Pints & Paddle taproom, Ryan Companies said. Customers can watch pickleball matches while eating on the mezzanine level.

"As a Minnesota-based company, we’re proud to help bring a new, local entertainment complex to life," said Patrick Daly, the vice president of Ryan Companies.

"Pints & Paddle will have a positive, lasting impact on the community. We look forward to seeing people of all ages enjoy the complex for years to come."
