The High Museum of Art is always such an amazing experience! I love how they showcase artists I've…read morenever heard of before. My friend and I went on a free Sunday and even ran into some other friends while we were there. We got to watch a youth dance performance featuring all different styles--from kids dancing in suits to a Mary Poppins-themed routine it was so incredibly cute! The art itself really spoke to me. I got to see cultural pieces from my home country that I rarely ever see elsewhere, and it honestly brought tears to my eyes. They were also highlighting a Black woman's art that day; hearing her story and seeing the way she painted up until her passing, alongside works from other Black artists, was profoundly beautiful. This was my second time visiting the High, and I absolutely hope to go more often whenever I have the time!

I spent about 2 hours exploring the High Museum. The museum is large enough to feel like a full…read moreouting but not so overwhelming that you're exhausted by the end. I especially enjoyed the mix of contemporary and classic works, and the building itself is beautiful with plenty of natural light. We visited on a weekend afternoon and found it busy but still comfortable to navigate. There were plenty of benches throughout for taking a break and really appreciating the artwork. I'd recommend this for a date, solo afternoon, or when you have visitors in town. My biggest tip would be to check the special exhibitions before your visit since they can be a major highlight. Definitely one of Atlanta's gems.

Virtue Rooftop is a whole mood on a Tuesday. I touched down for the "Jazz on the Rooftop" session,…read moreand the live saxophonist was definitely the highlight--sliding through covers and originals with the kind of ease that makes a date night feel effortless. The spot is huge with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, so you aren't cramped while trying to catch a vibe. The 1000 Masks cocktail was smooth and balanced, avoiding the sugar-trap I expected from the blueberry syrup. We started with the Yuca Parmesan Truffle Fries--solid crunch and the truffle wasn't aggressive--and the Togarashi Tempura Veggies, which were light and crispy. I went with the 5Church Lamb Burger Sliders for the main; the gorgonzola fondue and red onion marmalade combo was a heavy hitter, though the lemon-dressed arugula kept it grounded. The food was a solid, reliable choice--nothing that'll change your life, but definitely tasty enough to keep you satisfied while the music does its thing. If you want a laid-back, intentional atmosphere without the extra noise, this is the move.

Beautiful views, but the service and the food left much to be desired…read more I ordered chicken skewers, 2 mocktails, artichoke dip, and yucca fries. The chicken skewers took forever to come out. You only get two of them, and they are served over a bed of mixed greens. They lacked seasoning and flavor. The artichoke dip was extremely oily and had a very strange texture--it was thick and spreadable. The pita bread tasted old and stale. asked for a fork and the waitress forgot. When she brought my fries, she realized that she never brought the fork, and still didn't bring it. I ordered yucca fries, but she brought regular fries. The mocktails were served in these foggy old cups. Even the customer next to me commented on her own cup and said it looked like someone had drank from it. They add 20% gratuity to ALL bills--I was by myself and it was still added. 5 Church is pretty good, but this place was not at all. I paid 65 dollars for my meal, which was absolutely not worth it, given the quality and service of my experience. Looks good for IG but I won't be coming back to this rooftop.

You have to go up to the bar for all food and drink orders but the sales persons wee friendly and the drinks wee tasty and well balanced. It's dark inside but not too.

The walk from the garage to MSR is about 6 or 7 blocks if that many.

I wish I could love MSR, I really do. But sadly no matter how hard I try, they just mess up so…read morebadly it's impossible. I can't help but think the owners here just want suck money out of the LGBTQ community, not provide an actually decent experience. Let's start with the basics. When I was here around Halloween last year, I had to use the bathroom. That was a big mistake. There was a drag show that night... MSR's response? To close the women's restroom and make it a drag prep room and then force people of all identities to use ONE restroom with ONE stall and a urinal. There was easily over 100 people in the building. You mean to tell me a LESBIAN BAR is providing ONE TOILET TO A TON OF WOMEN? Be fr. I had to wait in line with the door to the bathroom open just to use a gross toilet while men are walking in and out freely to use the urinal. Why am I being subjected to that??? Another major gripe that I have with MSR- they (illegally?) deny free water here. Maybe that has changed, the last time I was here was over the summer. But out of the like 5-6 times I have been at MSR, they've denied me cups of water every single time and the bartender insisted I have to buy bottled water. Isn't it against state law to do that in Georgia? What a truly terrible way to treat your patrons. They don't care about you. At all lol. I'm sure if they didn't have to live up to health department guidelines that conditions would be even worse. My sisters room gets business and attention because it's the only lesbian bar in this area. If (hopefully WHEN) another lesbian bar shows up on the Atlanta scene, MSR better count it's days. It's really sad and frustrating to me because I want to come here and have a good time but I just can't. As a patron I've had a bad or neutral experience every single time I went. The only reason last time was neutral was because I held my pee the whole time. I shouldn't have to do that. Please do better. This bar has no right being recognized as one of the last standing lesbian bars. If you're an entrepreneur and you're reading this, please start another lesbian bar here.

I bought tickets and upon entering at the 11pm slot it was pretty dead, but I was able to get a drink and a hookah pretty quickly... Good thing because within about 30 minutes the entire spot was wall to wall with people. The decorations were LEGIT. Bodies hanging from the ceilings everywhere, halloween themed drinks and hookah. I will say that this satisfied my need for a haunted house with hookah and drinks. The dj was lit. Lets just say that halloween feels complete and it is still days away. I don't really know how to top this. I will say... UBER... Lord, Crecent parking sucks on any day or night with action. I will be back. The only thing that turned me off which would be a plus for some was that the place was full of flower smoke. Not sure if its 420 friendly, but it was definitely mixing w the hookah smoke. But, the drinks were strong, the hookah was good and the dj was a vibe. You need a wristband to get to the haunted midtown section, but you can easily cross into the standard nightclub that is connected, which is Embr Lounge.

The burger was ordered and cooked medium. The fries were hot and crispy outside and soft inside. Shrimp and grits - I didn't taste but my guest enjoyed the dish. They said they'd order the dish again. Shore leave - a great cocktail. A great pour that was well balanced. I only wished for a bit more foam. My guest just moved here and said they'd add 5 Church to their lost of "go-tos" based off that first experience. The server was awesome (shame on me for forgetting his name).

Since I didn't spend a lot of time exploring the full potential of, I give it a 3. Check in was easy and the front desk staff and valet were very friendly. Pros: -Very conveniently located. -Politan Row (PR) connected. Lots of food options and entertainment within this area. There is a bar JoJos that lies right in between the hotel and PR. -Breakfast was good. I don't always enjoy hotel breakfast. But this was good and had a decent amount of options. Chicken sausage were good and they had really good Manchego Grits!! Cons: The hotel lacked the wow factor. When I come back for a visit, I don't feel compelled to book here next time. -Water was almost never hot. I took showers throughout the day.. no time was a good time. -Toilet was very old and loud -Noisy!!! We could hear each elevator trip and the people who exited them. -Room smelled stale almost. Luckily I travel with spray. -No shower cap/ Makeup remover/Qtips -The bar located in the lobby was cute but the cocktails were not tasty. $25 and we weren't palatable. -Valet staff was great but it's $69 a day and takes quite a while.
