I am sure, if communication was better, then the entertainer would try to stay on some sort of schedule. Needless to say, after spending money for a VIP ticket, we were only given about 20 minutes with the entertainer and instead of the hour that we paid for.

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.

It wasn't super crowded, plus we got there early, so we were able to go right up to the front. But even if we were further back, it would've still been easy to see. The security, entrance staff, and bartender were all super kind. We could leave and come back, which was nice. It was a bit cold inside the venue so I liked being able to go back to my car for a jacket, which most other venues do not allow. They have a parking garage that ranges from $10-25, which is probably the best bet as parking is limited in this area. Overall, I think this is a great venue. It was clean, easy to grab a drink, and incredible to get so close to the artist performing. It really elevates the performance and whole experience. Shoutout to Wynne for putting on an incredible concert!

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.

That's a very useful tip to include because the parking price difference is significant. I'd add it…read morenear the end like this: I recently visited Center Stage Theater on two separate days for the Claressa Shields vs. Kaye Scott fight events--Thursday for Media Day and Friday for the official weigh-ins--and the venue was a great setting for both. Center Stage has a really cool atmosphere that works especially well for an event like boxing. It feels intimate enough that you're close to everything happening, but still has the professional feel you want for a major media event. From a media perspective, I appreciated being able to experience the venue on back-to-back days and see how well the space transitioned between Media Day and the weigh-ins. The staff was welcoming and professional, and everything felt organized throughout both visits. With fighters, trainers, promoters, photographers, videographers, media, and guests all moving around, organization can make a huge difference, and the venue handled the activity well. I also really liked the character of the theater itself. It doesn't feel like a generic event space--it has its own personality and creates a great backdrop for photos and video, especially during something as energetic as a boxing weigh-in. One tip I would definitely give anyone planning to visit is to check the parking apps before paying at the kiosks. I was able to find parking for $21 for the entire day through an app, while paying directly through the parking kiosk was $14 for only three hours. If you're going to be at Center Stage for several hours, especially for an event, using a parking app can save you quite a bit of money and keep you from having to worry about your time running out. Being there for the Claressa Shields vs. Kaye Scott Media Day and weigh-ins gave me the opportunity to experience Center Stage Theater in a completely different way, and I came away impressed. Two days, two different events, and a great experience both times. Definitely a venue I would be happy to return to for another boxing, entertainment, or media event.

As I was doing some research about this venue, I was particularly interested in the parking…read moresituation. From what I read, there were a few different options. The venue has a parking lot directly under the property. Other options mentioned include an office building across the street and a hotel next door. As we approached the venue on W. Peachtree street, I saw a parking attendant waving a flag encouraging patrons to use the venue parking. I followed his encouragement and took that sharp left down the ramp. As my research reported, it was tight and congested. I had to drive down at least three different levels to find an open spot. I paid for my parking at one of the machines positioned around the parking deck. It was the usual; enter your license plate and pay with a credit card. It was fairly reasonable at $20 for 9 hours. I saw a few people waiting and waiting for an elevator that never arrived. Your best bet is to walk up the path that you drove down to get to the theater. When we made it to the top and the front entrance a staff member asked if we were drinking, checked our IDs and placed a bracelet on our wrists. Once we entered, walked past security and through the metal detectors doors, we made it to the lobby area. A full bar was right in front of us and we joined the fast moving line. They had about 5 - 7 beer options. I ordered the Scofflaw POG Basement IPA and Wifey ordered the Yuengling lager. We scooped up our beers and went to find our seats. There were staff members everywhere to help. We found our seats and settled in for the show. This is a mid-sized venue and there is not a bad seat in the house. We thoroughly enjoyed the almost 2 hour show and the artist sounded great. As the show wrapped up we headed to the restroom where we both had to stand in a line, but it was fine and the bathrooms were clean. Wifey had a longer line than I did, of course. While waiting I was able to snap a few more pics. We headed back to the parking lot which took us about a half hour to reach the street level. Overall, we had a very good experience at Center Stage and would return for another show. 3.5 - 4 Rating

The workers were all nice, and for how many people came navigating in and out really wasn't too bad. The only kind of weird thing is the bathrooms are downstairs so that can get super crammed, especially the women's side. You do have to get the right seats, though. There's a huge balcony but only the middle section really allows for a real view of the stage, so don't be tricked by that. Otherwise, you're better off being down below. Also, if you are farther back on the main floor, make sure to walk up closer to the stage and look up. Trust me, it's worth it.

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.
