“ This was a fun experience. The bowling ball is only 5lbs so it makes the game much harder than regular bowling. U also roll 3 times before the next person goes. Overall, great experience, nice atmosphere. They have alot of other games u can play as well, not just bowling. Probably won't do it again because I prefer regular bowling, but we had a good time. ”
“ I parked in the building next to the Painted Duck. This cost like $5 per hour. They have valet parking for $5 total in the basement. You enter this location through some green doors on the side of the building. The venue is in the basement. They check IDs before you come in. The place is extremely nice. No natural light and it has a lounge feel. All lanes were rented out so we could not bowl but that was not a problem. I liked the vibe of the place. I was pleasantly surprised on how they were able to handle the large crowd and still provide good service. This venue is very stylish. Bar is huge and can probably seat 30 people. Clean glass and mirrors everywhere. It is hard to explain this place but it is like a Bass Pro Shop meets a night club. There are other games for those that do not want to bowl. You have horseshoes, curling, soccer balls for billards, darts, and a couple other games. The drinks are the highlight of the show. I tried the Pond water which was black tea and peach schnapps and it tastes great. The frozen duck is a slushie drink with vodka, orange juice, and coconut. The food was only decent. The pork sliders were decent and the triple dip was ok. Chips are extremely thin. ”
“ This is an awesome place for a special evening, or bringing friends that are visiting. You enter the building and walk down a good amount of stairs. To my knowledge there isn't a way for individuals to get there otherwise. If there is please lmk! I have been here a few times but we came recently for a friend's birthday and it was the perfect place for this type of celebration. You have to pay for the bowling lanes, but the other games are free, and there are a lot of them. They have large basketball hoops, a soccer type game, horseshoe, and plenty of others that I don't know the names of (one is a feather game kinda like bocce ball). Drinks/Food: Listen, I love both the food and drinks at this place. Recently I got the Glam Pop and I really liked it. I have gotten their version of the espresso martini before and liked it. I tend to stay with their specialty cocktails. They are reasonably prices considering. I think they fall in the same range of price anywhere else. The food is my favorite part. We have gotten the crab claw dish, its declicious. Chicken fingers and fries, hummus. It's all been wonderful to share. They apparently have this big duck situation going on but thats not for me lol although I'd love to see someone else order it. Bowling: The bowling is a lot of fun. You have to reserve a lane when you get here and sometimes there is a wait, but there is so much to do it really doesn't matter. You can have 6 people per lane so keep that in mind when you book with your group size. You have to rent the shoes but they bring over a bin to your lane and its pretty easy. When you are at the lane you have a server so you can order food and drinks from them. You are on a time limit so be mindful of that. It isn't when you finish the entire game, its based on time. They have music playing in the speakers but some nights they have live music and the bands are usually really good. Great spot, highly recommend. ”
“ Good vibe and great space for adult groups who want to have multiple activities at once's such as listen to music, playing hoops and other games around the bowling alley. It's definitely a lounge feel. Food and as good. The parking deck is available but no validation. Be prepared to pay using card. ”
“ Great atmosphere, mini bowling is so fun plus they have live band ! I also loved the wine. ”
“ Perfect first date place!!! Had so much food, everything was good. My favorite part of the meal was the crab claws and the kabobs. The service was great. The bar was a great experience ”
“ Food: amazing. Service: amazing. Music: amazing. Comfort: amazing. All-in-all: Amazing! Last time it was pretty good, but there was a problem with the shellfish. This time everything was on point- and I didn't order any shellfish. We came in for my sister's birthday and whilst they do not offer a reservable room or table in advance, you can show up early and table-camp to make sure your party gets the quality seats they deserve! I came at 6:15 and table-camped and sat for 45min until my party arrived. Thankfully, I didn't have to fight it out with anyone. I set up our tables with food and drinks just prior to everyone's arrival and when they walked in- BOOM. Party time! Kaiylin was or waitresss and she did a phenomenal job taking care of us from start to finish. I may have accidentally cause a little debate/argument by taking up one of her tables and one of someone else's tables, but I made sure to tip well in order to alleviate that issue. I am uploading new pictures with this review and my highest recommendations are the Filet Mignon Skewers and the Strawberry Caipirinha. We had the following: Duck nuggets (8/10), duck fat fries (7/10), Thai ahi tuna skewers (7/10), spicy chicken thigh skewers (8/10), filet mignon skewers - medium rare (10/10), chicken cobb salads (7/10), smoked beef brisket sandwich (8/10), pulled pork sliders (7.5/10), Au Poivre burger (9/10) With the scores given by my friends and family here...it's easy to say that this place has FANTASTIC food. The music is awesome. The drinks are great. The service is excellent! We'll definitely be back. Maybe my next birthday will be here? Who knows!? Should you try them out? Definitely. ”
“ Coming here for the first time, it was like walking into a speakeasy. The entrance to the place was a side door from a street, and just walking down a couple flight of stairs that looked like I was walking into a dark basement. But then you open this wooden door, and the place opened up to this very cool bright speakeasy vibe of games and lounge seating. Kids are only allowed inside the place during the weekends before 5pm, and that's when we came bc we have a little one and a teen. First thing I noticed was this beautiful chandelier in the middle of the place, and the exposed brick walls. Has a industrial rustic look to the place, and just instantly fell in love with the look and feel. Very cool place to hang out with family, and friends. This place has duck pin bowling, basketball, shuffleboard, and soccer pool (like playing pool but with soccer balls). I had the nitro espresso and also tried the French bread pizza and artichoke and spinach dip. All were delicious! The food is a bit pricey, so expect to spend on those apps. The pizza had about 4 small slices. The chips and dip was a decent portion for snacking. Service is quick too. This is a great place for any outing or celebration like birthdays, bachelorette/bachelor, or graduation. Would highly recommend. ”
“ Such a fun place to spend an evening! I recently visited The Painted Duck to celebrate a friends birthday, and I'm so glad that she chose to ring in her day here. We parked via valet which was a breeze but we were so confused about where to go! The garage is very mute in color and you'll almost miss the sign that tells you where to go, lol. But it's there! When we went up to higher ground, we spilled out onto a street and immediately ran into the building. Apparently we jumped the gun? because we went into the very first discreet-looking door that we saw lol we stumbled into a quiet check-in desk and were guided upstairs. When we got up there I realized that everyone else was entering from another door lol oops! Since I visited in December, when we arrived, the place was packed and covered in couples in party sequins, ugly holiday sweaters and business professional. A very diverse crowd! I assumed that there were several company holiday shindigs happening lol. Because of this, each lane was packed and the various games around the building were in use. No biggie! We were actually earlier than the birthday girl and decided to take a seat at the bar to kill some time. To start, my bf and I had cocktails and the Mexican Trio of dips. Our drinks were fantastic and the bartender was so sweet and efficient, despite serving so many at once, great service. That Mexican trio was sooooo good. Omg the hot corn? Bananassssssss! A must try. When the birthday girl arrived she put her name on the list and we were told it'd be a bit of a wait, but that was expected. Lucky us, there were so many great seating options and we took a corner area that comfortably sat our group of 8 or so. We received such wonderful service!!! Between our group, we all ordered several different drinks and bites, and when I tell you that we (almost) loved it allll?! There was only one item that my bf and the birthday girl didn't love, the garlic & herb crab claws as they thought the taste was a bit off. But our amazing waitress took it off and we quickly replaced it with another item. But wow - I didn't expect the food to be THAT good. The birthday girl is a chef and she was blown away. We ordered items such as Chicken Skins (which were super flavorful and fresh!), the duck fat fries, peel & eat shrimp, some skewers and duck nuggets. SO GOOD. [Now, I can't really speak to pricing. I like to live my best life and think that we really got some bang for our buck here, but I can understand folks feeling that it's a bit pricey.] After we indulged in our food and drinks while catching up, we noted that the guests who were using the lane in front of our section was prepping to leave so we took their spots. I don't even remember how long we were waiting to play because we truly got to enjoy some great food and drinks in the interim. The game itself was a lot of fun! I'm a lil weakling so lighter balls to play pin bowling with are very appreciated although I still lost lol. I really can't wait to return! I love that they're not just focused on the games but are offering wonderful service, and even better food paired up with their experience! ”
