This is an Atlanta staple and after living here for decades, I finally went. My friend is born and…read moreraised, they had nothing but great things to say. Located off of Piedmont Avenue - a one way street, look for the valet sign to pull in on the left. The cafe sits below street level - it's downstairs, like in the basement. But the vibes and energy shout sexy, speakeasy and spot to see new or rising talent. On this visit there wasn't any special guest or talent - it was Open Mic. Sign up and save $10 on the cover at the door. They seat you and servers provide menus for food and drinks. We had the grilled shrimp, others had pizza and light bites. The Texas margaritas were delicious and served strong. The talent was engaging and ranged from poets to singers. Overall, I'd definitely come back and check ahead to see who's performing. With the parking and cover, you invest some cash before you're entertained.

Good amount of seating that gives off a family basement kind of vibe. I'll start with the con: the service here was subpar. We sat in the overflow area and there were tables all around us. The two servers that we saw in the area repeatedly NEVER came to our table to greet us or take our order. My boyfriend ended up having to walk himself to the bar to get a drink and order some food for us. Even once the food came I had to flag her down to get another drink. We were not hidden or hard to see, so that was very disappointing. The comedy show was really good. The comedians were fun and funny. Each one's personality was so different and big and we laughed the whole night. Although good service is huge to me, I'd come back and give it another try because overall I really enjoyed the scene.

There's a discrete pink door on the side of the building facing the paid parking lot. If you go earlier in the night you might be able to catch free street parking. On a Friday at 9pm, it's a bit quiet and intimate, but it really picks up after 10pm when the crowd comes. The drinks are good and decently priced $14-18. The Wake The Dead was so refreshing and my favorite even though they all were lovely to drink. Plus, there was a live dj playing r&b after 10pm. The food is flavorful but the portions are a bit small. You'll be satisfied but not full. So consider getting an app too if you're truly hungry or eat before you get there. This is the perfect place to go to for a night cap with your boo or catching up with your girls over drinks.

We chose the gaming only reservation which included unlimited play and 30 minutes of bowling for $30 pp. Luckily we went on a Thursday evening around 5:30 pm and it was empty so we could play any games we wanted. I could imagine this place getting super packed, though, and it being difficult to play games. They have a variety of games from darts to shuffle board to the classic arcade games. We were there for 2.5 hours and it was more than enough time to play most of the games. The reason I am taking one star away is that they need to do better maintenance on some of the games. The curling lane didn't work and many of the arcade games were partially broken. We didn't eat but they serve food there and there's lots of tables to sit at. They also have a full bar. The cocktails were decent and reasonably priced, ~$16 including tax and automatic tip. Overall, it's a really fun spot for a date or for hanging with friends. I would highly recommend avoiding their peak hours. They validate an extra hour of parking so you get 3 hours free and there's plenty of spots in the garage right next to the place.

The ambiance gives grown and sexy-almost like an upscale lounge. It is located in the interlock development in midtown-however please note it is a standalone restaurant not located in the high rise where most other businesses are located. Keep this in mind when looking for the place. Service has always been pretty good to me. I can tell they have worked thru the kinks of newness and I appreciate that it is not overly pretentious. I have had several items here-fried calamari, truffle fries,Philly cheesesteak rolls, and the Brussels sprouts. A word of caution-the Brussels sprouts are VERY SPICY so if you have a low tolerance for heat do not get these! The drink selection is very thoughtful and every drink I have had there has been tasty. I can't wait to return.

I only handed my card to one lady (the bartender). Older black lady with a terrible wig that was in a pony tail and another younger lady. Stealing is a sin. No matter your religion. Ain't too many things worse than a thief. Getting Waffle House (On Panola Rd) on my card when I tipped IN CASH 25% is stupid of you. Buying cheap furniture and tires on my card is even stupidER of you. I used to come to bigelows all the time with my mother, siblings and friends. I've watched this place deteriorate over the years. It used to be a place where the older crowd can come and chill, drink and dance. Now it's a much younger crowd reminiscent of the lounges you see all over Atlanta. Well NOW the police are involved. The fact is I'm going to get my money back. I'm going to be fine. You on the other hand won't be. One of the things I can do in the meantime is blast this business. If you're foolish enough to visit this place after reading this just DONT USE YOUR CARD.

Parking is free and the door is free from 6-9 PM. After 9 PM it's a $15 cover. For my Mom's 75th we reserved a table for 10 and planned to dance, eat & drink to our heart's desire. Ellery's didn't disappoint. I'd called ahead to Mr. Shane Murphy - great customer service and greeted me at our table to say thank you. If you love line dancing, old school music, the over 50 or 60 crowd - this is the place for you. Great for groups, singles and couples to have a night out!

The band Pure Soul delivered an incredible tribute to Frankie Beverly & Maze. Their performance was spot on--capturing not only the timeless sound and energy of the music, but also sharing the history behind Frankie Beverly, the band, and the songs that have touched generations. It truly felt like taking a wonderful trip back in time while celebrating the legacy of an iconic artist. The tickets started at $30, with brunch purchased separately. In my opinion, the entire experience was well worth the price of admission and the brunch. The quality of the live performance alone made it a memorable afternoon, and the brunch only added to the overall experience. City Winery's Atlanta brunch buffet is offered separately from the show ticket. The venue was clean, comfortable, and relaxing, creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy great music, good food, and wonderful company. This wasn't my first visit to City Winery, and I can honestly say that every experience I've had here has been enjoyable. If you love classic soul music, great live performances, and a relaxing Sunday outing, I highly recommend attending one of the Pure Soul tribute brunches. I'll definitely be back!
