Slice Padel Co

Slice Padel Co sits at 920 N Loop 1604 W, San Antonio, TX 78232, on the north side of the city with the Sonterra golf course as a back-door neighbor. The venue is reached directly from Loop 1604 between US-281 and I-35.

Stone Oak, Hill Country Village, and Hollywood Park sit within a short drive. Slice Padel Co padel is positioned as San Antonio’s first full entertainment padel club, blending court time with a rooftop bar, live music, and rotating food trucks.

The club is family-run, founded by brothers Juan Carlos “J.C.” and Armando Merlo. They built the project to introduce padel to the Texas market as a social, food-and-drink-led alternative to pickleball. More on the founders and concept is on the Slice Padel Co website.

The padel courts

Slice Padel Co has four outdoor padel courts, all built to the standard 10m by 20m doubles spec with tempered glass back walls and metal mesh side panels. The playing surface is artificial turf with sand infill, the format used at most U.S. padel venues.

The courts run under floodlights so play continues well into the evening. Because every court is open-air, weather and wind exposure are part of the experience, though the Sonterra location is sheltered by surrounding buildings on the north and west sides, which helps on breezy afternoons.

Photos from the venue show the four courts grouped together with shaded seating between them and a clear sightline to the rooftop stage above.

Booking and access

Slice Padel Co operates on a pay-and-play court reservation model rather than membership-only access, so anyone can book. Courts are reserved through Playtomic - you can book a court on Playtomic in 60, 90, or 120 minute slots.

Live rates show at the booking step. Typical U.S. outdoor padel pricing in this market sits around $20 to $45 per court per hour depending on peak versus off-peak. Prepaid credit packs may be offered through the club; check Playtomic at the time of booking for the current published rate.

The club keeps long hours, with bookings available roughly 6:00 AM to midnight to match the bar and entertainment programming on weekends. Parking is on-site at the Loop 1604 complex, and the building has step-free entry from the parking area to the courts and clubhouse.

For availability questions the team is reachable on (210) 499-0700 or at info@slicepadelco.com. A WhatsApp line on +1 210-966-4693 handles quicker replies during peak periods.

Programme and social at Slice Padel Co

The hospitality side is built into the venue rather than bolted on. There is a full-service bar with rare-bottle lockers, a stage for live music and charitable events, and two to three rotating food truck residencies on the lot.

Big-screen TVs cover major sporting events, stone fire pits and picnic areas surround the courts, and a mega-sized Jenga setup adds to the social mix. The rooftop event space hosts private bookings alongside scheduled live music.

On the play side, Slice Padel Co runs mix-in sessions and social tournaments for members and pay-and-play guests, with weekend programming that ties into the bar and food-truck nights. Coaching is offered through the Slice Padel Academy for all ages - see the coaching tab for tiers and pricing.

Best for padel in San Antonio

Slice Padel Co is a strong pick for players based in Stone Oak, Sonterra, Hollywood Park, and the broader north-side 1604 corridor who want padel paired with a real food-and-drink venue rather than a bare warehouse setup.

Date-night doubles, group outings, and players who like a social atmosphere with music and food on site will get the most out of it. The pay-and-play model also makes it easy for visiting players to book without joining a membership.

It is less of a fit for players who want a strictly indoor, climate-controlled facility - all four courts are outdoor, so summer afternoons and cold fronts will dictate when you play.

Visitors driving in from south San Antonio or New Braunfels can use Loop 1604 directly from US-281 or I-35; allow extra time on weekend evenings when the bar and live music draw a wider crowd.

Slice Padel Co runs the Slice Padel Academy for all ages, offering private one-on-one lessons and group clinics. Pricing is confirmed at the time of booking through the venue.
