Frequently Asked Questions

What sports do you show?
We show all major sports including college football, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and more. Catch Longhorns, Cowboys, Spurs, Rangers, and all Texas teams on our giant outdoor cinema screen and 25+ smart TVs throughout the venue.
Can I host a watch party?
Yes! Groups of 20 or more can reserve a private section with dedicated screens, custom food and drink packages, and your own server. Contact our events team to plan your watch party for game day, playoffs, or any big event.
Do I need tickets for events?
Most events are free and open to the public, just show up. Some special events (live music headliners, holiday parties, themed dinners) may require tickets or reservations. Check the event details on our calendar.
What's the typical crowd like?
Everyone. Seriously. You'll find young professionals, families, retirees, first-timers, and regulars all sharing the same space. Our events are designed to be inclusive and welcoming, whether you come solo or with a crew, you'll fit right in.
Can I bring kids to Social events?
Absolutely. We're family-friendly during daytime and early evening events (movie nights, vendor markets, Sunday afternoon music). Evening events (trivia, salsa, late-night music) tend to be more adult-focused but aren't restricted. Check event details for age recommendations.
Is there a cover charge?
Most nights are free entry. Occasionally, headline acts or special events may have a small cover charge ($5-15). We'll always communicate this clearly on the event listing.
Do I need to play pickleball or padel to attend Social events?
Not at all. The Social is open to everyone, players and non-players alike. Come for the sports, stay for the food, never touch a paddle. That said, you might get curious after a drink or two.
Can I reserve space for a private event?
Yes. Reservations for groups of 20 or more go through our Events Team. Fill out our private event request form with your date and group size, and we'll send package options within 48 hours.
What's the difference between a restaurant reservation and a private event?
Restaurant reservations for groups under 20 can be made through OpenTable. Private events are for groups of 20 or more and include reserved space, catering, and beverage packages coordinated through our Events Team.
How do I book The Social for a private party?
Fill out our private event request form with your date, group size, and event type. We'll send you package options and availability within 48 hours.
What kind of food and drinks are available during events?
Full menu from The Kitchen plus craft cocktails, local drafts, and wine. During events, we often run specials (taco night, drink deals, themed menus). You can order from your table or grab food at the bar.
Can I watch a specific game?
Absolutely. With 25+ TVs and our giant outdoor screen, we can show multiple games at once. Just ask a team member and we'll put your game on the nearest screen.
Do you host fundraisers or community events for nonprofits?
Yes. We partner with local nonprofits and community organizations for fundraisers, awareness events, and volunteer gatherings. We offer discounted space rental and donation programs. Reach out via our Partner Inquiry form and let's talk about how we can support your cause.
What if I want to perform or sell at The Courthouse?
We're always looking for talented musicians, local vendors, and creative partners. Fill out our Partner Inquiry form with details about your music/products/organization, and we'll be in touch if there's a fit.
Is there a dress code?
No dress code. Come as you are: athletic gear after your match, date-night attire, casual jeans and tees. We're here for a good time, not a formal time.
