Upscale bowling alley offering beer, modern snacks & bar food, plus bocce, Ping-Pong & Skee-Ball.
"You might associate bowling alley food with the uncomfortable one-two punch of eating chicken fingers followed by jamming your greasy fingers into a bowling ball. The Painted Pin in Buckhead offers a different experience. Between turns and decorative Lebowski quotes, you can relax on a couch and eat some of our favorite items like the soy ginger-glazed edamame, smoked ribs, and wood-fired pizzas. You can always embody the Dude and do a deep dive into White Russians, but the Moscow Mule slushies go down smoothly and, probably, too quickly." - nina reeder, jacinta howard
"The owners of the Painted Duck also own the Painted Pin, a boutique bowling alley featuring bocce ball, ping pong, pop-a-shot, darts, and ski ball on Miami Circle in Buckhead. At the bar, there’s beer, wine, and classic cocktails to pair with the shared plates, sandwiches, salads, tacos, and wood-fired pizzas." - Beth McKibben
"Like the partners’ other Atlanta game bars, boutique bowling alley Painted Pin in Buckhead and duck pin bowling and gaming parlour Painted Duck on Brady Avenue, this latest gaming endeavor will also feature a full bar serving cocktails, beer, and wine and a kitchen offering everything from sushi and charcuterie boards to sandwiches and salads." - Beth McKibben
"Illinois-based bowling and bistro chain Pinstripes has confirmed that it’ll be opening in Buckhead’s Phipps Plaza development sometime this year." - Eater Staff
"If you’re still unsure what to do after weighing all the other birthday options on this list, just say “f*ck it” and go bowling. And while you might associate bowling alley food with the uncomfortable one-two punch of eating chicken fingers followed by jamming your greasy fingers into a bowling ball, the Painted Pin is a little different. Between turns and Lebowski quotes, you’ll relax on couches and eat soy ginger-glazed edamame, tuna poke wontons, and wood-fired pizzas. The Moscow Mule slushies go down quick though, so maybe just take it easy like The Dude and order a White Russian." - Neal Cohen
