Smells like urine inside. Just appeared to be very outdated. Maybe new carpet is needed.

I really like the skate environment but this place needs some love and care. Someone lost their passion and it's just here. Went for food and the pizza container was ahhhh...I was scared to eat anything out of it ...I was ready to spend for all the kiddos but the container wasnt clean. If they take better care their business..it will boom again in my opinion .... But the owners passion is gone and I can see it all over the place. THE STAFF is friendly and great attitudes So I rate 3 stars bc the staff is great. read more

The man was very nice. Even understanding. Music was alright. Some was not kid friendly during the day when getting our skates he was on the phone which was a bit annoying. Made a long process take longer (we had over 20 students). My people didn't really like their food. They ran races which was awesome. Very fun. Prizes were given. We will return! read more

Golden Glide deserves a "0". Golden Glide is unfortunately not a good place to work. All employees are unfairly made responsible for taxes that the company, as an employer, is legally obligated to pay. This includes improperly passing on employer tax liabilities--such as unemployment taxes--to employees. When these concerns are brought to management, particularly Ms. Miesha, there is a noticeable lack of accountability, and the blame is shifted to their payroll service provider. It is the responsibility of management at Golden Glide to ensure that the proper mandatory Georgia state taxes are accurately withheld from each employee's paycheck. If an employee notices an error in their pay, they have every right to bring the issue to management's attention. In turn, it is management's duty to address the concern promptly and ensure that any necessary corrections are made by coordinating with their payroll service provider. Proper handling of payroll matters is a fundamental part of maintaining trust, which Golden Glide have lost, compliance, and fairness in the workplace. Additionally, Golden Glide does not withhold the correct state, federal, and FICA taxes, which can leave employees facing unexpected tax bills from the IRS. These issues are not disclosed up front, and employees only learn of them if they review their check stubs and ask questions. Unfortunately, those who speak up face retaliation. One example includes an employee being removed from the schedule after raising concerns, only to be told that the company was "revamping" operations--a vague and inconsistent excuse, especially when that employee's schedule had remained unchanged for months. After reaching out for clarity, the same employee was told by Ms. Miesha that it would be her last time responding. This lack of communication and professionalism is concerning. Many of the staff are young workers who are doing their best, and it is troubling to see them taken advantage of in this way. I urge anyone considering employment at Golden Glide--especially parents of teens or young adults--to pay close attention to their paychecks, ask questions, and ensure they are being treated fairly. No employee should be misled, retaliated against, ignored, or penalized for advocating for their rights. read more

I thought this was FAMILY NIGHT?!? This feels more like ShiRAQ night!! My family has experienced being clipped more times tonight. Even rudeness. SHAME! I know the kids are out here just trying to have fun, but ITS FAMILY NIGHT. Little kids, even less experienced skaters that aren't being fully considered in the rink. Maybe FAMILY night should be moved to Thursday?!? read more

I had a great time! I will definitely be returning for adult skating night ! I recommend everyone to try at least once!

Skating rinks are magical this one's no different my home rink my first rink. Good music great community

The music is full of nasty extremely graphic sexually lewd music during family skate times. Literally every few minutes there are lewd, graphic words and phrases coming from the music that I cannot post here as it would be shocking. Little girls and boys skating here during family skate times listen to music about oral sex, etc. I have complained, but it is falling on deaf ears. I really wanted to make this work but it is just way too much. They need a parental advisory stamp on their website. The crazy thing is there are other great choices in music that are loved by teens such as R&B and some of these were sprinkled in but right back to the sexual and violent music. read more

Golden Glide is a step under Cascade if you ask me. It's not AS INTENSE but it's definitely intense on adult nights if you're a beginner still in your infant stages of learning to skate. The people are friendly and will help you in the middle but the space was kind of small so you were really confined to the middle ONLY if you aren't a fast skater. I did deduct one star because there was no concessions there only vending machines. Most people are hungry after burning calories so I hope they'll reopen it soon! Also, it's a little far out from downtown and it's in a secluded cut that you could easily miss by accident at night time. read more

I've been skating a couple of months now and have visited 10 of the local skating rinks. This was the second and last I've visisted. So I've visited twice. Location it sits off in the cut, you might miss your turn if you're not paying attention. It's not over-crowded like Cascade. The rink size is average. The first time the floors were high glossed and gliding great. This past Sunday, not so much . However, it's apparent, they're doing renovations as I could tell the floors been sanded or something because they were dull and some spots looked like they started re-glazing but hadn't finished. The food area was closed off due to I assume renovations but, they've added vending machines. So, I am looking forward to the finished product. I'll give them a month before I return to check out the progress. A youthful altercation occured while there and it was professionally handled. I do believe these rinks need more than 1 security guard. The Sunday DJ did a good job assisting in taming the crowd post-altercation by starting the music back with some Kirk Franklin. The overall experience was okay. read more

A classic, modern, popular skating rink! I brought everybody. Everybody loved it. And that's on everybody.

Came in today to wear these girls out!!!! I see my plan is working, they keep sweating and falling while trying to look cute and skate at the same time. The crowd is perfect at 1-5pm on weekends for 12 and under. Not too crowded with experienced skaters mostly beginner to intermediate skaters having fun. The food bar serves your typical pizza, chips, frosty, and hot dog type of foods. The DJ keeps the music Pumping for all ages. Restrooms are pretty clean early as well. Lots of Birthday parties going on too. Also they have a couple arcade games and a jump house. The price for entry including skates is $10/ person. Afterwards they will be exhausted!!!!! read more

Golden Glide - Skating Rinks Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Came as a date idea on a Saturday night. While I haven't been roller skating for almost 15 years, I thought I'd give it a try. I really liked the rink as it was pretty spacious and the employees were all super nice and helpful. The music is on the louder side, but that's all great. What I loved to watch were all the coordinated skating efforts. Loved them. Saturday nights is teen-night, just that you know, so watch for all the kids. Parking is a tad difficult because everyone is jammed into there, but besides that no complaints at all. Wish I was able to skate better. I got shin splints in about 15 minutes :( but definitely would/will come again. Next time, I wouldn't mind trying the food; there's a party area. read more

It was mediocre went for the jive biscuit 2019...just horrible ...the structure of the floor felt like Markham...my Chicago skaters know what I'm talkn about....that step down to get on the floor is the craziest ever...I didn't like the music, too too many ppl, parking was non existent, one car was actually sunk in a mudhole...hope they got that white Lexus out of it and roll call for Chicago was bunk...I love my skating but Jive biscuit is not for me read more

I used to come here as a kid all the time but now as an adult this place looks a little run down. However the kids are happy so I'm happy. Foods good to so that's a plus. read more

Golden Glide is a hot skating rink like any other skating rink I've been to.. I like coming here because they have adult nights and you have to be 18+ to skate & they play older music. Friday nights are the adult nights. So, after 1130p come on out and have fun. read more

It's like Soul Train on skates. Golden Glide, an old fashioned roller rink with mostly African-American clientel, is a bit of a hike from Downtown Atlanta, but it's worth it. People literally dance their way around the rink, spinning, twirling, sliding...it really is a sight to see. I consider myself a competent skater, having grown up playing roller and ice hockey, but I still felt like I was slowing down the much more accomplished regulars. One guy was doing figure eights around orange cones, which he would occasionally juggle. Another pair were practicing for the roller skating equivalent of the Olympic figuring skating pairs competition. read more

I love to take the kids here.... They having different nights and times for different skaters.... The food is good and the people who work here are very nice and make it fun!!!! If you want to have a good time with the family this is somewhere good to come for the weekend!!!! read more

I will never visit this establishment again. My car was broken into and my wallet was stolen. They broke into about 10 cars on the same row. A manager told me that it has nothing to do with them. That is not something you say to someone that came to enjoy themselves but instead had their car vandalized. If you don't want want your vehicle glass all over the ground and items stolen don't go here. There are other places to skate that are safer. Also, there is no adequate lighting, no security guard on the premises for parking, and parking is horrible. My car was stuck in the mud. It took three people to push my car out of it. read more

Decided to have a skating party for my 43rd birthday and chose Golden Glide. Most of our crowd hadn't laced up in skates since we were in our teens (and everyone was 30-mid forties), but this is such a great space and a huge rink...no one felt intimidated. I cannot tell you how much fun we had! The staff were SO sweet and made the day just perfect...the music was incredible and it was such an amazing experience. Love this place! Highly recommend it!!! read more

This place is pretty cool, family skate night on Monday $5. Looks just like it did in the movie ATL. Concession stand was closed tho ....boooooo. 5 stars for the DJ alone!! read more

It's a little hard to find, but Golden Glide is one of the most lively, jumpin places to skate in Atlanta. Saturday afternoons are great for beginners and Sunday nights are awesome for Adult Skate (if you can keep up!). Each time I go here, I meet someone new and most of the regulars are professionals in my book. I have yet to meet a regular that isn't nice and willing to show you a new trick or give you a tip on how to skate better. read more

This place is so fun, good dj, and the vibes are nice. Everyone can skate here, do tricks all that so be prepared to bring you A game lol. We went Friday night during the adult session. Made me and my boo want to buy our own skates. Would def go back read more

It's a vibe, all the DJs are a vibe! I love the atmosphere. I can learn here on the weekdays and vibe out and do my thang on the weekends

Took my daughter out for a skate. She had a fantastic time! People are friendly, place is cleaner and better maintained than other rinks around. They kept it under control and family friendly, and did fun activities like races and dance contest. Music is LOUD and all hip hop!! Would be nice if they'd mix it up a bit. read more

I've gotta get back to Golden Glide. Since I moved further away I haven't been back much but it is very fun. And the best part about it is that it's one of the most affordable family places you can go to! read more

I used to come here a lot (twice a week) and moved back up north it was good to see that some things never change enjoyed the music and the floor is always clean A+ always and next time I come to town I will definitely be back. read more

I had a lot of fun when I went on Friday night (adult skate). I didn't do much skating because the floor was crazy slippery and more people were watching the floor than on it but just the watching was entertaining. read more

I'm from BKLYN Empire Roller Dome. This place is okay if your looking for an upbeat local environment, they don't keep the same DJ so the music varies however I always have a good time when in the ATL YALL... I'ts a very friendly environment and when and if you fall people come from everywhere to pick you up. Unlike NY they just roll by you and every man for himself...Lol. But when they are Jamming it's off the chain. Depends on the night and the crowd. read more

I went this past Sunday night for Old School night. The crowd was few but everyone was really showing off their moves and in the middle some of the old school pros were teaching their tricks. A nice spot to hang out. The crowd looked to be 30s+ read more

This place is sending me spam texts and I am on the do not call list. ANNOYING!!! they are texting me at 4am!!

Another great roller rink. When I moved here from Detroit, Mi in 1988, this was the first place I looked for in the yellow Pages. Lucky for me, it was only 10 minutes from where I lived at that time. nice people, excellent skaters...great place to take your family. read more
