by Jason C. on Here's a text message convo that pretty well sums up Sanctum: chick friend: I'm sad you didn't stay and dance :( me: Sorry. i was tired and wasnt into that place. it was like gay goth weirdness. me: I'd be glad to dance somewhere less like the scene of a brutal murder on CSI Miami.
by Jermaine Garrott on I really really disliked my experience here. I paid $20 for a club that was freaking empty and had to wait 45 minutes outside in the cold to do it. It turns out that the Hip Hop Dungeon is packed to the brim while the House music is played to a relatively empty ground level. The bar basically can't do anything if it involves more than 20 seconds to make. The hip hop room was claustrophobic and dirty, which was weird considering how nice and spacious the top floor was. Gah. It just sucked. Almost all my friends have been to Temple once, and that will probably be the only time they'll ever go there.
by Chrissy A. on Halo is definitely one of the more upscale bars in Atlanta's midtown that make you feel like you are really actually in a city. A favorite among many young professionals of Atlanta, this hip-and-trendy bar delivers serious cocktails in a seriously swanky setting that gives off that oh-so-cool vibe that you see in the movies. Most of the kids who play here think that they are too sexy for their shirt, and that everything is "hot. " Eh, alas, if you come with a group of friends it actually can be a very fun playground. If you can find a place on the couches, you are in luck, because it will totally be your night, but if not, expect to be a bit uncomfortable as their isnt much seating. Solution: Keep on drinking. The more you drink, the more fun you have. It's definitely a huge step up from the college bar scene I was accustomed to a few years back...Serious cocktails, serious atmosphere, and seriously swanky. The crowd is super-posh, and there is a ton of money floating around, so if that is your thing, I say jump on board; you will be comfortable here. I find it a great place to visit from time to time...But I dont go quite as often as I did when I first moved here...Some people call this place a bit pretentious, and I can understand why...But that wouldnt stop me from spending a night out on the town -and slinging back a couple of cocktails here..What can I say...I have the ability to have fun in any and all setting-especially with a cocktail in hand! The decor is artsy, and the actual bar itself is dimly lit and serves to bring people together. There is a great seating area towards the back, and up the stairs. Cocktail tables and a small scale stair case serve as an area for more seating... I dont consider this a dance club, but there is an area where dancing happens...I dont think its actually designated for dancing, but it works! A diverse, ever-changing crowd keeps this club interesting. Nightlife enthusiasts are attracted to Halo's inviting, upscale feel...especially popular midweek. It's a nice setting for sipping cocktails and listening to music; there's even free wi-fi! Weekends, however, attract a coiffed and accessorized clientele on parade. All in All: Seriously Swanky, Stylish, & Sultry Spin On Atlanta Nightlife
