by Grant G. on Can't beat the drag show! In the world of gay bars, there are plenty of annoying things to deal with - but Blake's has always been one of my favorites. The newly renovated upstairs area is a great place to chill. The drinks can be expensive, but that is about par for the industry. And the drag show floor is simply just a side of the bar - it gets quite crowded. This has been a mainstay of the Atlanta Gay scene for some time, and I don't see that changing. You can always come back and it's the same diverse crowd.
by Leroy Clampitt on At the middlesex, it's all about when you go. I went once after 12 on a friday with a line outside. I didn't stay in the line. I've also been a couple of times during the week where the place was dead. The movable chairs and tables are kinda cool, but make it a little hard to get comfortable and really "lounge". Overall, it might be the classiest place to go out in central square. Im sure with the right crowd, the venue is happening.
