Family-Friendly Volleyball and Sports Bar in Spring Branch: The Decoy

The Decoy is one of those spots that you can’t help but keep coming back to. Since opening near the Memorial area, it’s become a favorite for laid-back hangs, casual sports, and family-friendly fun—with a setup that makes it just as easy to chill with a drink as it is to jump into a game of volleyball!

The outdoor space is huge, featuring three sand volleyball courts available for rent, along with cornhole lanes, tons of covered seating, and a massive outdoor screen for watching the game. Inside, the vibe continues with a full bar and more TVs, so no one misses a play. It's easy to see why this place has become a go-to for everything from team outings to Sunday watch parties.

The Decoy also makes a point to be welcoming for all ages. There’s a covered playground for kids, cocktail and drink towers for groups, and even your four-legged friends are welcome. It’s family-friendly during the day, and shifts to 21+ after 10 PM, so you can cater the vibes to your group.

When the weather warms up, you can expect crawfish on the menu, and on weekends, live music keeps the atmosphere buzzing. If you're planning a birthday, company event, or just a weekend get-together, the space is set up to handle it. You can book courts and events directly through their site at thedecoyhtx.com.

And here's a tip for locals—use your Houston Hotpass for a free 2-hour volleyball court rental and a bucket of beer, which is a solid deal for anyone looking to turn a casual night into a full-on outing.

The Decoy is a great place to kick back, get active, or do a little of both. Rally with friends, bring the whole family, or just catch the game with a cold drink in hand! This spot covers all the bases.
