Ball on! Moodswing, Denver’s all-in-one pickleball, restaurant, bar, coffee shop, live music, co-working, event space, and outdoor patio concept, is finally set to open in the new year.
Moodswing will celebrate its grand opening at 3625 E 48th Ave in the Elyria Swansea neighborhood, Friday, January 9 – Sunday, January 11, 2026, with three days of programming featuring open court play, food specials, live music, DJs, play against a pro (play against the former #1 pickleball player in the world), Stock Show after-party line dancing, and more!
After undergoing an extensive two-year adaptive reuse buildout by the Perpetual First team, Giovanni Leone, Colton Cartwright, and Justin Riley, Moodswing is primed to serve as the ultimate third space, full of creative lounges and thoughtful, multi-purpose design.
Featuring a robust culinary menu developed by Nicholas Dalton, chef and co-founder of Brasserie Brixton, Moodswing will also boast a full bar program featuring beer, wine, cocktails, and N/A beverages, a dedicated coffee program, an expansive co-working space, an indoor and outdoor stage for live concerts, and Denver’s largest outdoor patio.
