    Fried pickle spears and Dr Pepper wings are coming to The Woodlands area. Pluckers Wing Bar will open a new location in Shenandoah next year.

    Located near the intersection of David Vetter Blvd. and I-45, the new Pluckers will be the Austin-based restaurant’s eighth Houston-area location, joining outposts in places such as the Washington Corridor, Memorial City, and Stafford. A Meyerland location (8731 W Loop South) is expected to open soon.

    Credit for that success goes to Pluckers' creative sauces that run the gamut from Maple Chipotle and Spicy Lemon Pepper to Peach Tree Sriracha and Garlic Parmesan. Other menu staples include fried mac and cheese, stuffed jalapeños, sandwiches, and salads. Desserts such as fried Twinkies and fried Cookies and Cream take their inspiration from the State Fair of Texas.

    Once named one of America’s top sports bars by ESPN, every location features a lively atmosphere and plenty of TVs. The Austin Business Journal has named it one of the city’s top places to work.

    Truly devoted Pluckers fans can join the Pluckers club. A $20 membership brings a host of perks, including rewards for every dollar spent, free food on a member's birthday, and more.

    “We’re eager to continue our expansion in the Houston metroplex, and this new location is ideal for reaching new customers who have yet to experience our renowned Pluckers wings,” Pluckers director of marketing Kristin McMinn said in a statement. “We receive so many requests to open locations in communities state-wide, so we’re thrilled to answer that excitement with this new opening in Shenandoah.”

    Two Houston nightlife veterans are serving up a new pickleball venue in Spring Branch. Long Point Social Club is the latest project from The Kirby Group, the local company behind bars such as Heights Bier Garten, Pitch 25, and Bayou Heights Bier Garten.

    Located on the former site of tasting menu restaurant Degust and upscale cocktail bar Diversion (7202 Long Point Rd.), Long Point Social Club is a two-acre venue with 12 pickleball courts (eight of which are covered), four padel courts, a dog park, and an indoor-outdoor bar and restaurant with a full menu of food and drinks. It opens to the public on Wednesday, August 26.

    Patrons will have a variety of ways to use the facility, including four membership tiers as well as being open to the general public. In addition, diners will be able to get coffee and pastries beginning at 8 am at the LP Café or more traditional bar fare — think burgers, bowls, and shareable items — from the Long Point Social Club kitchen beginning at 3 pm and 11 am for weekend brunch.

    Both experienced and new players are welcome. Coaches will offer clinics, private lessons, and group instruction in both pickleball and padel. Enthusiasts will be able to join five-week leagues to play a range of styles, including set partner and round robin play, King of the Court, cumulative leaderboards, padel Americano, and more. In time, Long Point will add Major League Pickleball-style team leagues.

    In between matches, patrons can watch sports on nine TVs or a LED video wall, let their pups play in the dog park, or join a running club.

    The property will also be home to The Bixby, an upscale cocktail lounge with its own entrance. Details on that concept will be shared in the coming weeks.

    “We wanted to create more than a place to play,” Kirby Group co-owner Andy Aweida said in a statement. “Long Point Social Club is designed to bring people together, whether they are joining a league, learning a new sport, meeting friends for open play or simply spending time in the space. Our goal is to build a community where everyone can find a way to participate and feel welcome.”
