by Tony Z. on Went here for dinner. It's good, really good. But, I think it's a bit overpriced for pretentiousized comfort food. The good news is that everything on the menu is recognizable. The other good news is that the entrees and appetizers are well cooked, well seasoned. The great news is that service is fantastic. Bottom line is, if you're trying to impress someone, and want to be treated like "Hollywood," then go here. If you want to relax and have a few drinks and some nibbles, come to happy our here. But if you come for dinner and order a couple of appetizers, a few of drinks, and a couple of entrees, you'll be out close to a couple hundred bucks after tax and tip. Again, I really enjoyed the food, but I probably won't be back for dinner. It just doesn't make a ton of sense to me.
by Arvilla Schearer on One of the advantages of Atlanta's sprawling infrastructure is the ability to put together a club the size of Compound. Pulling off such an over-sized club in most other cities would be cost prohibitive due to real estate costs, or else be forced so far out into the 'hood that you'd be afraid to go there. A night at Compound won't be cheap, but it's cheap in comparison to similar scenes in other major cities. You're paying for the atmosphere more than anything else. It's young, crowded, and definitely about being seen as well as having a good time. Parking in the pay lots closest to the club will add another ten to twelve bucks to your evening. That being said, if the immediate streets around the club are full you're better off sucking it up and paying than parking too far away. The neighborhood has definitely improved a lot over the last five years, but it's still got its rough edges to deal with now and then.
