Where the players play…
Shout out to Ludacris.
A favorite Webb past time is having a few drinks while playing some games. And the type of game doesn’t matter! It could be card games, board games, video games - hell, we might play you in Chutes and Ladders if you have it!
You get the point: we like to have a good buzz and a good time!
And seeing as how combining food, drinks and games is a sure way to lure in all Millennials, there are a number of Atlanta-area businesses that have done just that. So while this is not an exhaustive list, here are some of the ones we tried, enjoyed and now want to recommend.
First up is a place Mrs. Webb has been to a few times, Puttshack! Puttshack is indoor mini-golf that has gone high-tech. Your ball is connected and registered to you, so it doesn’t matter what order you play in or what hole you start on because your ball is keeping track! Puttshack also has a great menu of food and pretty strong drinks, and there are four 9-hole courses so you can have a different experience each time you go! Great for groups, parties, kids (during the daytime), get togethers, and dates! Cost: Gameplay - $ to $$ , Food and Drinks - $$
Next up: Slingshot Social! This spot is games up front, and food/hangout in the back! There are gaming classics with a twist like Pong and Pacman, and then there are the new faves like ax-throwing and beer pong. Upon entering you purchase a card with credits and use that for all your game access. There is also a beer wall where you can sample and drink lagers and ciders. Beyond that is a bar and seating area with tons of TVs so you won’t miss a game and you can order some game day eats. Honestly, you could come for the games, or just hang out and watch some TV by the bar, and either would be a good time. Cost: Gameplay - $$, Food and Drinks -$
In an underground lair in the heart of the city lies The Painted Duck. No lie, we had to look for the green door with the duck head and then go down a flight of steps to find this gem! Once there we were met by a spacious hangout featuring several unique, old timey games and a mini-bowling alley. There is also a full food and bar menu (and one of the most interesting wallpapers we have ever encountered)! If bowling is not your jam (or in the budget) all the other games are free and they also have bands and shows periodically which are worth checking out. Cost: Gameplay (for bowling) - $$-$$$, Food and Drinks - $$
Revery VR Bar! No need to adjust your contrast, this modern spot is adorned with red neon throughout! Revery is surprisingly affordable (especially if you are splitting the cost) and it is a damn good time! It doesn’t matter if you have never encountered a VR helmet before, it is easy and fun to use (just be mindful of your friends who may accidentally try and knock you out!) Add in a couple of decent drinks, an on-site food truck, and a DJ, and you have the makings of a great night out. Cost: Gameplay - $-$$, Food and Drinks - $
Again, this is not a completely exhaustive list, but hopefully it gives you some ideas and a feel for the vibe of each space, and we definitely look forward to adding more!
