Having been to Eleven 50 several times before it closed, I was curious to see what had become of the club. After a $2.5 million restoration, the club has some remaining vestiges of its Eleven50 days, namely the large dance floor and stage on the bottom level, with some nice additions found on the second level. This is where the redesign is most noticeable: from the oversized crystal chandeliers to the VIP-sections that resemble opera boxes to the gilded walls, you do get the sense of being in a grand ole opera house. Not to mention the fact that from the second level, the bottom level spreads out before you like a stage for some interesting people-watching. The drinks were good and strong - at least on opening night - but a little on the pricey side for Atlanta. The outside area is still nice for lounging and more intimate conversation but has none of the look or feel of the interior. Instead, it feels more like being on the beach in Miami with cabanas and table service. A nice repose for those preferring a good scene with less stress. A note to the wise: glass panels were used around the bottom dance floor and along the second level as balstraudes. My entire party was on the way up to the bar for the first drink of the evening and almost ran into the glass panel. They are not clearly marked and i can only imagine what would happen after a drink or two. Management should assess the situation. The reason for the 3 stars - definitely a see and be seen kinda place. It's hard to lose yourself in the music and just dance.
