by Trula Ringle on bleh - I was here for a dj battle...I don't know why because I'm not really into that unless there's drinking and dancing which there was more of the first and less of the latter. The beats were good but I don't think I'd go there again without my crowd of fun lovin folks (that could be said about anywhere really). The crowd isn't my type. But perhaps if I had gone on a different night instead of dj battle...again it's not really my scene. Otherwise it's alright...I wonder if they still have live streams of the parties there......hmmmmmmmmm..........
by Blake B. on Star Bar is like a little slice of Texas shithole dolloped right on the creamy center of Little 5 Points. Of course, that's the whole reason people go there: it should pretty much be your capital if you're into rockabilly/surf/swing/cowpunk/dives. They have a tiny dirty little stage where bands of such a nature play 6 days a week, through a very mediocre sound system. Again: this is what people go for. PBR and the potential fist fight and Johnny Cash on the jukebox and lots of grime. They even have a little altar to Elvis, fixed with tons of memorabilia, where you can pop your head in and pay tribute. That's not a joke. Star Bar definitely isn't my cup of tea. Mainly because sometimes I drink a cup of tea. Tea drinkers aren't allowed in Star Bar. You need at least two tattoos and an exwife. Or long hair (metal style, not pretty boy) and a leather vest. All that said, they have one of the best karaoke nights in Atlanta, simply because all the people who usually hang out there actually try to stand up drunk on stage and warble Judas Priest. It's frighteningly hilarious.
by Rebecca O. on Ready for a good time? Head over to Taverna Plaka on a Friday or Saturday night, but be sure to have made a reservation beforehand. The food is pretty stellar, considering the restaurant is about to turn into a Mediterranean discotheque around 11 p.m. That's when the lights dim and the music is cranked up. If they haven't already, the belly dancers come around to dance on your table. And then it's your turn. Get up there and swing that napkin around in the air! Bottom line: Take your most fun friends, eat dinner, dance on the tables. Oh, and take shots of ouzo. And if you don't like ouzo (which I don't), I highly recommend the house red wine. Two bottles later and you'll be up on that table if you weren't already.
