Here are some new venues coming to metro Atlanta in 2024 that will offer an “eatertainment” combination of gaming, food and drinks.
Five Iron Golf. Set to open in Midtown at the end of January, this 16,000-square-foot space will house 13 golf simulators, food and beverages, and indoor golf leagues. In addition to golf there will be such games as shuffleboard, air hockey and pool. The golf simulators will accommodate up to six people for $75 an hour. Menu items will include loaded pub chips with queso and pulled pork, hot honey pepperoni pizza and smashburger sliders, plus a full bar with cocktails inspired by professional golfers.

Painted Pickle. Atlanta-based Painted Hospitality will add two new locations this year that founder Justin Amick has dubbed “compeateries,” or “a place to compete, eat, drink and be social.” One of them, Painted Pickle, is expected to open in early February in a 32,500-square-foot warehouse between Buckhead and Midtown. It will have eight indoor pickleball courts, a central seating area and an outdoor court, along with a menu of shareable plates, salads, bowls, sushi, paninis and a full bar. It also will have space for live music, as well as other games, such as pingpong, bucketball and darts.
