by Taylor Cullinan on This is one of those places that really needs separate reviews for the restaurant and the nightclub. While I realize the food is not the reason that people come to Medjool, it's damn tasty, nad pretty affordable if you go during happy hour. Being Middle Eastern, I can say that the tabouleh is completely authentic and made just the way it should be made; and all of hte other apps we tried were tasty too. And of course, you can't beat the rooftop lounge. You should, however, leave here before it comes a nightclub.
by Kyra M. on This was one of the first places I hit up when I first relocated here, due to it's rep alone. Well the hype is partially right. I went on a Friday night in my slut bucket get up like the rest of the chicas there. Don't judge, yall know that's what grown and sexy REALLY means for girls (tight dress, 4inch heels). Now I don't know if it's b/c I am from a small city but this place was like Hollywood to me in comparison to where I had come from. I was not used to paying 20$ to get in and 20$ to park 2 parking lots ovr, but that's the norm in Atl I see. The line was not to bad at 11:00, or lets jus say it actually moved. Happy to make it inside 40$ later for no real reason, I was so impressed by what I saw, it didn't matter. Long wrap around bar, fish tank, upstairs/downstairs, big booth seating, and FINE guys; AM I IN HEAVEN? Well this is what I thought then, cause I was green. OMG older guys around early 50's, late 40's bought my sis and I drinks like the world was ending. Younger guys hit on us in between and made for an occasional blush. One guy was there with his son and thought they were gonna tag team us, woow rly guys? It's sad when we had to play gay to get them to disappear. But ladies watch ur drinks being passed, opportune time to get spiked if not careful. It happened to my landlord here, and she ended up in ER. Yikes The DJ was 103.3 Frank Ski who did a descent job spinnin. There were a few people dancing, but most mingling. This is great for singles wanting to be seen. BEWARE of those stunting, meaning looking like money bags but broke as a joke. This place crawls with this. You can see sugar daddy's, gold diggers, stunters and bawlers all under one roof here. I wouldn't mind doing VIP here when I am feeling classy.
by Mitchell Labitan on Okay..So this was my first time going to kress and I wouldn't go back. Yes, there are 3 levels, and an elevator to take you to each level..unless you decide to work out and use the stairs. The decor is actually pretty decent too. BUT there is not variety in music here. If you enjoy just dancing hip hop all night, then Kress is right for you. There was a level where they play mash ups/80s BUT the only person in there was the deejay. Third level and basement both played hip hop. UM CAN WE GET SOMETHING ELSE PLAYED!?! sheesh. You take the long walk down to the basement just to hear the same song that you heard on the 3rd level. The men dressed themselves as if it was an 18 and over club. total fail. The basement smelled of sweat and weed. The floors were sticky. It was like a ghetto highschool party.
