Having a ball at Decoy in Gainesville
The new Decoy venue in Gainesville includes high-tech golf, bowling, music, and delicious food all under one roof!
GAINESVILLE, Ga. - What are your plans for the weekend? Do they involve bowling, golf, listening to live music, or going out to eat?
Well, good news: a new venue in Gainesville includes all of the above … all under one roof!
We’re talking about Decoy, which owners Rand and Macy Carswell (of The Chattahoochee Grill) call an "eat-ertainment" concept and which just opened in Downtown Gainesville.
The 16,000-square-foot Decoy features a trio of entertainment spaces: one dedicated to high-tech golf simulator bays, another featuring six lanes of duckpin bowling, and a third equipped with a nine-hole miniature golf course. Decoy also features a full restaurant and 30-seat bar, not to mention a stage for regular live music.
The Decoy team says it hopes to add something new to Gainesville’s rapidly-growing culinary and entertainment scenes, both for local families and for college students (Brenau University is only located a few blocks away).
Decoy is located at 123 Green Street Northeast in Gainesville, and hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays, and 11 a.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays — for more information, click here.
