"If busy is synonymous with the trail, then Painted Park is a Beltline spot with a capital B and an exclamation point. It sits just off the pedestrian paved path and is designed for maximum outdoor drinking and socializing for the younger, post-college set. The patio is the point, so snag a local brew from their outdoor bar and sprawl out on the picnic tables or padded lawn chairs. If the weather takes a turn, head to the multi-level indoor space (that you access via a concrete tunnel). It’s filled with the sounds of casual chatter mixing with ping pong balls bouncing and skee balls ricocheting off their tiered holes." - juli horsford, demarco williams, nina reeder, jacinta howard
