by Erin A. on I met a couple of friends here Friday night. I tolerated it for about an hour. It's not often I walk into a bar and feel young anymore, but since the crowd seemed to be mostly in the mid-40's to mid 50's range, I felt like a fetus. The drinks were good, and our waitress was friendly. The live band was ok, but the set list was taken directly from the Wedding Singer soundtrack. Now, I'm no beauty queen, but I've never seen a bigger bunch of unattractive, scantily clad, over-tanned, retirement aged people in one room in my life. I felt like a guest at the third wedding of my 55 year old uncle somewhere near the Jersey Shore. Not for me.
by ericka L. on As I am sure some of you recall me reminiscing, I have some very fond memories of this place in one of its former incarnations as Little Pedro's. Let's just say it was a cop bar, and I used to love me some cops. So that being said, I didn't have any trouble finding the joint, though all the construction in the area kinda effed up my sense of direction. However, parking was easy, since there's a ton of metered parking and it's free after 6pm. The entrance, as others have noted, is on Vignes, and takes you right to the sweet spot, aka the bar. Of course, it took me a while to get to the drinkies, as I had to run the gauntlet of rateclubser love, replete with hugs, squeals of recognition, and a few feelsies. I ordered a Stephytini and was pleasantly surprised with the strength of my cocktail. I think I had two Stephytinis and two Gimlets, all of which were highly enjoyable and well-mixed. Regarding the bartenders, I don't particularly remember them being overtly friendly, but hotness, efficiency, and the ability to make a drink that will knock me on my ass matter more to me than a smile at this type of event. I thought they did an incredible job. I loved the red lighting and the cozy seating. I'd like to come back here and neck with somebody cute sometime. And if he's reading this, I hope he knows I mean him. :)
by Venita Baro on This was the first nightclub I've ever been to in Atlanta. I went with a couple friends on a Friday night and had a pretty good time. We ended up getting in for free and quickly entered through the "VIP" line. The club itself was set up really nice as it featured a cool lounge-type area covered by tents that included lots of places to sit and a couple bars. I imagine on a night when celebrities are there those places are off limits. Once past the outside lounge part, we made our way into the main room of the club that was jam packed wall to wall and it was only about 11 p.m. The music was bumpin though and after the first drink being completely swarmed by other dancers didn't seem to bother me. The drinks were kinda pricey at $10 but the bartender hooked us up with some really strong drinks. One drink tasted like two drinks, so it was all good. Overall, it was an OK club with a predominantly college-aged crowd. There were definitely some good looking people there, but I wouldn't go every weekend. Maybe 3 or 4 times a year. I guess I'm more of a lounge chick now who likes to chill, sip a martini and listen to some music and hold a conversation.
