On June 20, 2014, the High Museum replaced their Friday Jazz concerts with Friday Night Music…read moreRemix. Now in addition to jazz they offer blues, Latin music, bluegrass and other genres on a rotating schedule. The museum revamped it when visitors asked for more variety. The event is free for members of the High and is also free to all visitors with half-price admission to the museum. My friend is a member and she asked me to be her plus one for Friday Night Music Remix at the High. I first attended the event a couple years ago with friends from out of town and was happy to return. By the time we got there, the jazz band was playing and all of the tables were occupied. There was only seating for about 100 and there were more people standing than sitting. After a few minutes we went upstairs to walk through the exhibits to a soundtrack of jazz. I really like the concept--enjoying music, sipping drinks and exploring the art exhibits. It's a very diverse crowd too in terms of race and age...20-somethings to 60-somethings...tourists...groups of friends...and people on dates. Some are there for the jazz and art; others seem more into the cocktails. The dress code is all over the spectrum from sophisticated to casual. Men wear things like polo shirts and khakis or button downs and jeans. Ladies wore everything from jeans, cardigans & heels to maxi dresses & sandals. My one criticism is about the lighting. I wish they would add mood lighting or at least dim the existing lights, something to make the large space feel more intimate. I know it's not a nightclub but I associate live music with low lighting, not high watt bulbs. Other than that it was a nice event and I plan to return in the next month or two.

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.

It seems to be a spot that locals go with pool going in the background and people drinking and hanging out. There's a decent selection of drinks from beers to cocktails to non-beer alternatives. The music was incredible, the place was decently crowded but we were able to get seats still, and it was a fun time all around. I'll definitely be coming back to hear Uncle Sugar again. There's paid parking right outside the tavern for $10, although it gets full quickly. However, there's free street parking on Sundays in the surrounding areas.

I've been here twice, had amazing experiences, and didn't pen a review. 2015, my gf who lives in Atlanta recommended while I was visiting on a work trip. Great recommendation. We had a great time catching up over delish food items while listening to jazzy tunes. I even saw a few famous folks while here as well. 1st impressions are important and this one was grrrreeeeaaattt!! Welp on 7.26.2024, Hubby and I visited and sat at a high top at the bar area. We were greeted by Joseph who was pretty attentive, making great recommendations. We came in for drinks and ordered the following Down South Peachtree Tea ... & then I HAD to order the Catfish Nuggets. The drinks and my catfish were all amazing! Speaking of amazing, great bands all the time!! This place is the total package for the soul. We have a trip coming up sooner than later to the A and we are certainly returning!!

It took some time to receive our food. The mashed potatoes had too much pepper, salmon medium rare was cooked too much, pork chops with peach glaze outstanding sweet potatoes, Mac and cheese, and carrots were good as well. The string beans could have cooked a bit longer. Overall, when I'm back in the ATL I would come back.

I visited Apache Café on a Friday night, and unfortunately, the experience fell far below…read moreexpectations. The biggest issue was the customer service. I initially ordered a rum punch, but our server suggested that I try a Bahama Mama instead. When the drink arrived, I realized it contained coconut and explained that I have a coconut allergy. I was then told that drinks cannot be returned once they have been poured. That response was especially frustrating because the drink ingredients were not listed on the menu, and I had relied on the server's recommendation. The interaction with management made the situation worse. I was told that I needed to "stick to what I know" when ordering drinks, which came across as dismissive and unprofessional. Guests should not be spoken to that way, particularly when raising a legitimate allergy concern. The drinks also tasted overly diluted and did not reflect the price or quality I expected. Between the $20 entry fee and $15 parking charge, the overall value was difficult to justify. The ambiance is ok but the bar area is cluttered and what not. A few artists performed before we left, but the venue did not have the same energy or quality that I remember from previous years. Apache Café has long been known as a place that supports local talent, but based on this visit, both the customer service and product quality need serious improvement. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling undervalued as a customer, and I would be hesitant to return.

We selected this venue as the backdrop for the Atlanta Black Chambers Health & Wellness Committee's social mixer, and it did not disappoint. The food was awesome and had everyone singing its praises. 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. Come out and support this Black woman-owned business. The ambiance and hospitality make this place stand out in a great way!

The ambiance and overall mood of the restaurant were beautiful--definitely a nice setting for a girls' night out. Unfortunately, our server really took away from what could have been an even better experience. She was incredibly cold and sterile throughout the entire evening. At no point did she seem happy to be serving us; instead, we were made to feel more like a burden than guests. We were warm and inviting toward her, but we never got so much as a smile in return. It was noticeable enough that it became hard to ignore. That said, the food was GOOD. I ordered the $30 burger, and it was every bit as delicious as I hoped it would be. I couldn't even finish it because my appetite said "girl, that's enough" , but even a day or two later I was still thinking about how good that burger was! I also had two $30 French 95s, which definitely caught me off guard. I would have appreciated knowing there was an upcharge before ordering the second one. That said, I also take some responsibility for not asking more questions before ordering. Despite the service, my girlfriends and I still managed to have a great time, and that says a lot. I'm just not sure I'd return. The food and atmosphere were enjoyable, but when you're spending this kind of money, the service should match the experience.

Went to see my first live performance this weekend and was blown away! What a cool feeling venue to…read morelisten to great music and enjoy some tasty beverages! The building decor and design in itself is a treat--in an artsy and historical style--but the sound system in that hall was on fire! The line outside wasn't terrible, and the staff and security were all very respectful and laid back. No drama. Fair warning, they let me in with my mini-backpack but tossed any snacks I had in it. No biggie! So, if you find yourself touring around Centennial Park and want to catch a show, it's not too hard. The main floor allows for the party to really happen, but only for those who can endure standing for hours at a time as it's standing only. There's a floor level for VIPs, which I bet was totally worth the money. We sat up in the balcony, so we could sit and see it all. Whew! The seats are very snug! I'm only 5'3", and it was a squeeze for my legs. My 6'1" hubby said he was ok, but his legs were open the entire show to fit. On that note, be prepared for LOTS of stairs! Drinks were tasty and made well. My pizza wasn't exceptional in any way, but it was edible for bar food. And really, the bartenders were all friendly and patient. Just a cool night altogether. Great experience for a small-venue show on a date, with girlfriends, or a big group of fans alike! We saw James Blake, and the only issue I had was the bright flashing lights. I had to squint by the end of the show. But it didn't seem to bother the other thousand in the hall.

Just a warning again though. It is very loud! I mean off the charts! I would bring ear plugs when I go again just to keep my hearing intact.

I got to see The Roots perform and they are a musical group that I really love so to see them, especially for free was amazing. 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.
