And for a fraction of the price!Īn awesome entertainment center with adult libations! The Painted Pin is a Bowling Alley and much more! Upon passing through a huge entry door we were greeting by a cheerful associate who verified our age. And even the staff, who are mainly teenagers, are better qualified as customer service than those at Painted Pin. You don’t get the faux swanky atmosphere, but it is a way better bowling experience. After our first game, we took our business to Midtown Bowl, just 6 minutes away. There are too many establishments in Atlanta that work hard to make a great experience for their guests. Pro-tip for ownership: you can find those online for $99.99… maybe worth the small investment.ĭo yourself a favor and skip Painted Pin. There were no other lanes with bumpers, and no bowling assist ramps (oh yes, so please don’t come if you are handicapped either apparently!).
#PAINTED PIN FULL#
We were the first people in line, but because our full party wasn’t there until 12:03, they gave the lane to another family, made us wait 30 minutes to get any lane at all, then wouldn’t let us move to that lane when that family finished. Then we had to wait with the bowling shut off for 15 minutes to get our check.Ĭhildren and novice bowlers: They have one lane with bumpers, however, if you do not arrive with your full party at 11:55 AM, expect to wait at least 2 hours for that lane if not more. And despite that, they literally shut the game off while we had 2 more people to finish the game because the hour was up. Our bowling lane broke down twice during our $150 per hour experience (doesn’t include shoes), and of course we were not credited back for that time waiting for the technician to fix it. The facilities: Dim lighting and complimentary hand sanitizer cannot completely hide the damaged furniture, broken lane equipment, and layer of grime on everything. It was replaced with cooked meat 15 minutes later but not removed from the bill. So the fact that the rest of the food ranged from edible to decent did not make up for that. Yes, not, “oh no this is cold!”, but legitimately still frozen and uncooked meat. The food: Some of the food was decent, but I couldn’t get past the fact that they brought out literally frozen uncooked meat to 2 children. I will say, however, the only bright spot about our experience is that our waiter, Tom, was really kind, but just woefully busy because they were understaffed.
#PAINTED PIN MOVIE#
Legitimately felt like we were in a movie about a group of lowlifes who hated their jobs and all their customers. "You only waited an hour" was said with a sardonic grin as if one hour is childs play. Later, another man showed up, and he smiled through his 2008 Brooklyn hipster mustache as he refused to solve any issues and acted as if no one deserved to be at his Painted Pin castle. One woman sat slumped in her chair, rolling her eyes as guests came in, spoke in a monotone irritated voice, and made no effort to help guests or act as if they mattered. Service: The front desk (who check you in, give you lanes, etc.) provided hands down the worst service I’ve had anywhere in ATL. And based on our experience, I’d recommend not coming under any circumstance. If you are coming with younger kids that are not competent bowlers, just don’t. I thought… isn’t that a bar? But our friends had been there for a corporate event with kids and said during the day it is kid friendly and they even have a kids menu, so who was I to question? Sounds like a fun low key Saturday! *insert ominous music* We had 4 adults and 5 kids, and spent almost $500 for 1 hour of bowling, 5 kids meals and a few apps, and… SPOILER ALERT… it was a disaster.
I hadn’t been to Painted Pin in years, and friends suggested bringing our kids to bowl together.
