If you haven’t pinned down your New Year’s Eve plans yet, consider ringing in 2022 at two of Atlanta’s favorite upscale boutique bowling alleys — The Painted Pin and The Painted Duck.

Doors open for the Prey for a Great 2022 party at The Painted Pin on Dec. 31 at 7 p.m., and will go on until 2 a.m. Guests who pay the $20 cover charge can enjoy a live DJ from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., and a champagne toast and balloon drop at midnight. Party-goers can also rent bowling lanes for $40 per lane, per hour, and enjoy complimentary games, including darts, bocce, ping pong, shuffleboard, skee-ball and more. Valet is $3 per car.

The Painted Pin is located in Buckhead at 737 Miami Circle, NE, Atlanta, GA.

Over on the Westside, The Painted Duck, a “distinguished drinkery, duckpin bowling and gaming parlor,” is hosting Get Your Duck On. The party goes from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m., and for a $20 cash cover charge, guests can enjoy a live band from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., midnight balloon drop and champagne toast.

The Painted Duck also offers 16 full service duckpin bowling lanes and other indoor games, including Belgian feather bowling, indoor horseshoe pits, knuckleball, shuffleboard, air hockey and more. Bowling lanes are $40 per lane, per hour. Valet is $3 per car.
