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.

Coming here you'll…read morehave to park somewhere, they have a small parking lot but at the same time if you don't find that parking available, are you going to go ahead and get it? How you live. You'll go through security and come in and it's pretty much a dive bar with really good vibes. They have R&B, jazz, blues, lot of different myriads of music types. So it may not look like it, but it's actually a really good spot. I would say you could go and use this to kick it and take a date or a double date situation. There. You could get some drinks, listen to some music, play some pool, it's all good. Now they don't have food like that, but there's a food truck outside and the food truck is actually pretty decent. I'm not going to lie, those wings were actually pretty good. But don't expect this spot to have food on the inside. I've been going in and out here for years so I don't have anything bad to say necessarily. Pick the night you want to go, and go on that night because it's going to be a lot of fun if you pick the right vibe and music you're looking for.

Pro tip: Sort the reviews by newest. There's a pattern... and it exists for a reason…read more I was really jonesing for some Southern food, and this was the only place close to my downtown hotel that was still open at 9pm. I sat down at the bar at 9:04pm, and placed my order for the seafood gumbo, highly recommended by the hostess (who had the personality of a bumper sticker). I looked around the place. The live band was decent. Not terrible, but definitely not good enough for me to watch. Then I waited. And waited. Thankfully, I was able to doom scroll TikTok, because my food didn't arrive till 9:52pm- the place closes at 10pm! There were 4 customers at the bar (which seats 10), and one of the other patrons sitting near me clearly was annoyed that his take-out order was taking just as long. Do yourself a favor. Do NOT come here. The food itself tasted like microwaved leftovers, and was less than luke warm..... like my son's diaper 12 minutes after he pee'd in it. The bartender was nice, but even she apologized for the long wait. Yeah.... don't do it. Stay in your hotel with Lunchables and root beer.

I enjoyed the fried shrimp and fries. The shrimp were nice, plump, and perfectly fried. The menu prices were reasonable. Paid nearby parking is available, ranging from free if you luck up on street parking to $10 in local lots and hotels. I paid $10 to valet park at the Hyatt.

We sat down and were provided water and I asked for a purse holder and the waitress was able to locate one for me. We received our menus and if you're in to a French style menu, this is the place for you. I had the avocado tartine (toast), and others in my party had the eggs Benedict, the crepe; and pancakes. Two of us also ordered a mimosa. Because it was my aunts birthdays, they were given a small treat. It's quiet and very cute ambiance and lighting. They have tea time from 1-4pm which I will definitely be back for. ***I gave this place a 4 only because the menu was sort of limited from what I had known to be a buffet style brunch and I think, to me, I needed a little more seasoning.***

As you'd expect at the Four Seasons it's a very upscale ambiance and the staff is always very welcoming. The bar itself is large enough to hold a dozen or so seats and there is extensive table and banquette seating in the floor area. They have a selection of house cocktails and I've been happy with each one I've tried (my eye always moves to the bourbon/whiskey options on the menu). There is a limited food menu that is definitely way better than standard "bar food" though neither is it fine dining; it's perfect for a light meal. They do have music certain evenings so it can get quite busy then or on weekend nights. Prices are a little above what you can find nearby in Midtown but again this is a five star hotel; I think it's worthwhile for the occasional visit.

The Tabernacle is primarily used for concerts, but hosts other events as well. The building originally opened as a Baptist church in 1911. It became a music venue in 1996. Today, it's owned by Live Nation (Ticketmaster is a subsidiary). The building retains a lot of the look and feel of an early-20th-century church with interesting architecture, stained glass, creaky wooden floors, and all. It has a lot of character, as they say. It also has a lot of bars, at least one on every floor (there are four floors). We attended Ali Wong Live here on Saturday, April 11, 2026. It was a great show and we enjoyed the venue. My wife bought tickets back in November. We sat on the lower level, fairly close to the stage, in Section 102, Row F, Seats 1-2. These seats plus "Premier Parking" in the 100 Luckie St garage (LAZ Parking) cost $380.09 after taxes and fees, via Ticketmaster. The 100 Luckie St garage is two blocks down the street from the Tabernacle. It's an old garage with tight turns and spaces. Before the show, I got a Hendrick's double-shot gin and tonic at the bar in the side room on the second level. It cost $33.45 after tip. A good drink, but expensive. Before this month, the last time I was here was Saturday, August 9, 2014 for a big Yelp event / Yelper party. For that event, the venue was occupied by a variety of vendors spanning multiple rooms and floors. It was a lot of fun.

I got to eat some good food - the vendors and overall people were really friendly. I'm happy that even with the rain it was still a success.
