This is a group duck pin bowling place (which is like normal bowling but smaller). There's also a small bar area where they can serve food. It was a bit loud and chaotic. When we went the bar didn't have their liquor license yet, so they weren't able to serve us alcoholic drinks. The fries were a speciality item so I'm not sure if they have them all the time but they were delicious. The business is still really new so they're still getting settled in, but I have a feeling that this will become a fun place to go with friends. read more

See all

Great atmosphere, great employees, fast service! I came in during the Cherry Blossom festival and really enjoy myself. The employees were all attentive and helpful. read more

I went to the Social Duck with a group of ladies. We all had a wonderful time! The food was delicious and our server was amazing! One person had a problem with their dish. She received an apology, and an offer to order another meal. The replacement meal was great and it was prepared and delivered quickly. Then, we all went to the other side for bowling. We had a blast! We had some drinks and delicious appetizers. I felt the prices were in line with other restaurants as prices everywhere are up right now. All in all, it was a very successful event and an enjoyable experience! We have already decided to schedule another event there. read more

Everything went well, from the moment I walked in. I was greeted by a friendly hostess to my left and a very attentive bartender to my right. The vibe was excellent and the sound of the bowling balls peaked my interest to bowl. I had never heard of duck pin bowling so I was a little skeptical, but I'm hooked. I can wear my own shoes, listen to good music , grab a bite and enjoy a drink all well socializing and having a great time . Two thumbs up. I will definitely be back. read more

My son and I decided to stop here for dinner .. way overpriced took extremely long to bring out our food...table was covered with pollen..we had to asked for the table to be cleaned...apparently it's not done often.waitress came out with a damp napkins... Lastly I was charged $13.00 for water lemon and honey and my burgers were pink in the middle.. I won't go back here read more

Fun! Service and food were good. Tight space though makes it difficult to move between players. Tables are small and shared so hard to put food/drinks. read more

ZERO STARS! THIS PLACE IS CRAP! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MOSTLY IMPORTANTLY, DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. We decided on this place for friend game night on a Friday. We booked the lane in advance and were given an arrival time. Upon arrival we were greeted by our server, but then she never came back for the rest of the evening. We ordered drinks but we had to return to the bar ourselves for refills. The brisket nachos were not good and the cheese was cold and had started to congeal (gag!). The place is small and for 4 people we were very cramped. There is not even enough room to walk in between the tables and the couches and you end up being uncomfortably close to complete strangers who are trying to stay in their own lane on their own couches. Not only in the service crap, the food awful, but their business policies are unethical. Towards the end of our reserved game hour, we had planned on ordering food and sitting at one of the dinner tables (there is simple not enough room to eat on the couches at the lanes). However, one of the servers came to us and told us that the entire building was going to close in about 15 minutes for a private event. He less than politely kicked us out, saying that we couldn't even order food unless we wanted to take it to-go. Basically, we had 15 minutes to get our stuff and get out. One of the members of our group was at the bar ordering drinks (and therefore didn't get the notice about the private event) and was allowed to purchase beer and alcohol, without being made aware that the building was closing. We were furious that the bar would sell him something that we could not take with us, and so we basically had to chug our drinks. We were never made aware of this private event when entering the building, when we started our game, or even when we booked the lane earlier that afternoon (the website had all times available, with no mention of closing early). Lastly, our game was cut short, leaving us with only one frame remaining and incomplete scores, which really made us angry as none of us got our final score. Thankfully we were nearing the end of our time, but unfortunately the couple across from us was in the middle of a game and was also told they had to leave. No idea what happened with their situation. Basically, we left hungry, furious that we couldn't complete our game, and slightly sick feeling from chugging drinks. I recommend the Ax Throwing place down the street. You work hard for your money...don't spend it here! There's nothing I hate more than unethical business practices. There are better places in Macon to have fun times. Hopefully this place won't last and will be replaced by another establishment that actually values its customers. read more

The food was great, although a little on the pricey side. The duck pin bowling is fun. We had a Macon Week Burger and a Split Pea - their version of a Beyond Beef type slider. Both were served with fries and everything was delicious! I really wasn't expecting to be so impressed and I'm glad I stopped in to check them out. Definitely recommended. Wait staff were super nice, too. read more

It's more of a bowling like environment. Similar to top golf but for bowling. Not actual bowling with real bowling balls and real bowling pins... (all staff was very nice and friendly) read more

The Social Duck - "Bowling" - Bowling Near Me - Macon, Georgia

Really enjoyed the new experience, bowled a 142. The drinks, staff and food were great

Today myself, my wife and our 12yr old daughter decided to partake in the Duck Pin experience soley based on a social media post that my wife saw online. Upon arrival the experience started out great as we felt welcomed, but by the end of our time on site, things unfortunately went left and didn't end so well. My family was greeted with positive energy when we entered the established. Television screens above every bowling lane as well as televisions all around the wall of the bar area made for a nice vibe. Since we were first time guest, the guy at the front desk went over the food menu and bowling procedures with us. We purchased our bowling lane and during the process followed up by ordering our food. My family and I had fun bowling and enjoyed the food, but what happened next is where everything went left. Though our bowling session expired, my family and I were still eating along with watching the WNBA(Atlanta Dream) on one of the big screen televisions. So, we received the "verbal" okay and "thumbs up" from the guy that greeted us at the front desk to move over to the far end section so that we could finish eating our food, continue watching the basketball game in the process. There was no one in the section that we moved to nor the section next to where we moved, but all of the other lane/sections were occupied as well as the bar area had a few patrons. Moments later, the television showing the WNBA game that we were watching was changed to another channel showing college football(Texas vs UTEP). Since we were watching the Atlanta Dream game, I politely went to the bar and asked the bartender about the channel being changed while we were watching the game. The bartender was nice and stated that he has no control over the television like other establishments and directed me to the same front desk guy that we've interacted with since we've been at the venue. This is where everything went downhill. Once again I "politely" asked the guy from the front desk if he turned the television and he said, "yes." I then replied that me and my family was watching the WNBA game that was on that particular television and I asked him was he going to turn the television back since we were watching it. The guy said(with a straight face) "No." Wow. I didn't argue with the guy, but I felt that he owed me and my family an explanation since we were PAYING customers. When I asked the guy "why he turned the television and wasn't going to turn it back" to the Atlanta Dream game, the guy told me that he "changed the channel based on the CONSENSUS." Of course I knew what the encyclopedia definition of the word "consensus" means, but I wanted to get a more clear understanding from the guy who said it. I asked the guy what he meant by "consensus," he stated that the majority of the people in the establishment wanted to watch football. The issue that me and my family had with his response is not only were we paying customers, but all of the other televisions in the establishment were ALREADY on football games.....Cowboys vs. Giants and Eagles vs. Chiefs. I followed up by saying to the guy, "so me and my family watching the WNBA on that particular television didn't matter?" The guy's response was contradictory because he said "I'm not supposed to take channel change request and plus this isn't a sports bar!" At this point I felt disrespected and disappointed to say the least because prior to this interaction my family and I were enjoying ourselves. But now I was disturbed. So, I asked the guy who could I speak to other than him about this particular matter and he said, "my boss's name is, Mark (478)973-5060....you can call him. Of course after calling Mark several times upon leaving the establishment, Mark didn't answer or return our phone calls. Might I add that other than some of the staff, me and my family were the only black people in the establishment during the time of the incident. What was even more sad is not only did our 12yr old daughter have to experience this kind of interaction, but the football game that the guy changed the television to was a college game RERUN that aired on television the day before our visit to the establishment. Of course the "welcoming" feeling that I mentioned in the beginning of this post was no longer there. They don't ever have to worry about me returning to this particular establishment. Our money and time can be spent ere we feel welcomed. read more
