by Gayle Sturner on ATTENTION PARTY-GOERS: If you haven't been here, you're missing out! Good beats, fun crowd, tacos, and.. wait for it.... chocolate covered strawberries!!! My kinda club! We arrived here on the craziest party bus ride ever! It was one of my best gal's birthday. There was no wait for us because we made reservations. Got there with just enough time to pop bottles and get our drink on at the tables. It started to get packed really fast but we were already having a blast. I must say that Blvd3 is one of the nicest clubs I've been to. There's an outside lounge/bar area decorated with lights for people that want to chill outside. Not to mention, the taco man was out there too! I got to try one taco which was pretty good. Of course, I had to keep munching on something to avoid even furthur intoxication! Inside, there was a huge stage with dancers and the upper levels were for people with reserved tables I believe. Super crazy, super packed! After a couple more drinks and tons of dancing with everyone, I snuck away to indulge on those dipped strawberries. My gf and I ended up staying there for a good while and chatted it up with the server. She was too cute.. if I were her, I'd love my job too! All in all, there's not much more to say when you're having the time of your life with the people you love. Thank you Blvd3 for the good times. We will definitely meet again!
by Samantha K. on Designed for kids, but I'm a nerd, so it doesn't matter. This aquarium is awesome. Some highlights: --the HUGE viewing area of the Ocean Voyager exhibit. You can see manta rays, whale sharks, etc. Stand still for a while, listen to the music and ignore the kids, and just watch. It's captivating. The walk-through tunnel on your way there through the exhibit is cool, tool. --Beluga whales. I'm a sucker for these, but wow they're fun to watch. --Otters in the same general area as the Belugas. Too cute. --The living reef toward the end of Tropical Diver. Kids seem to lose interest relatively quickly, so again, if you stand and wait a little while, you can have it to yourself for a bit. If you're downtown, check it out! This was probably my favorite tourist spot in Atlanta.
by Antone Fedoriw on What...a...joke. The number of plastic-faced girls complaining about their shoes outside should have been a tip-off to the fact that this is not an LA scene bar, it's a bar for people who are desperate enough to breathe the same air as a D-list reality TV star that they will lease out their dignity for the price of a rum and diet Coke. It is not a fun place to drink, it is not a fun place to dance. It felt like an overpriced frat party, not a Hollywood lounge. Skip this place and go to the Standard if you want an LA bar. We had high expectations, what we got was a staff who acted like they're getting back at the popular kids that snubbed them in high school. Now, I'm as OK with snobbery as the next person if your bar actually merits it. But there is nothing at Apple that is special, unless you count relatively cheap valet parking. The drinks are uninspired, the bartenders are vapid and glassy-eyed, the decor is hideous, seating is impossible, the service is so slow it might as well be moving backwards, and the door staff is simply wretched (and will force you to buy bottle service, which isn't even worth *half* what it costs). The most telling thing of all: on the way out, we were talking to one of the security people. He said that the owner pushes the bottom line so hard on all of the staff that everything they do is with money in mind. Not that any confirmation was needed that this place doesn't care about their customers, but this guy sealed the deal. It is crystal clear that all they care about is money, because it doesn't feel like they spent a dollar on actually creating a place people *want* to go.
