Owners say it's the first pickleball and Wiffle Ball "eatertainment" venue in Michigan!

Dinks and Dingers at 5080 Broadmoor Ave SE in Kentwood combines sports, games, and dining under one roof. The social club features indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, Wiffle Ball, and a full-service restaurant and bar. You’ll also find plenty of laid-back fun with cornhole, foosball, shuffleboard, and trivia.

What to Expect at Dinks and Dingers in Kentwood

While memberships are available—offering perks and different access levels—you don’t need one to rent a court, play games, or enjoy the food and drinks. For those who do sign up by July 19, there’s a deal: half off your first month. Dinks and Dingers also plans to host leagues, classes, and special events.

Dinks and Dingers: What's On the Menu

On the menu, expect shareable starters like street corn nachos, fried pickles, chicken dumplings, pretzel sticks, chicken tenders, fried naan bread, and cheese curds. Dip lovers will appreciate add-ons like beer cheese, hummus, or tandoori yogurt spread for $3 each.

We’re not a private club catering only to pickleball fanatics. We want everyone here—even those who’ve never picked up a paddle.
