by Gary L. on This pretentious little club thinks it's something it ain't. They say it's guest list only... on a case-by-case basis. That's a load of horseshit! Tried to go here twice. Once, I was let in. The interior is done up really well and succeeds at creating a 'sexy' vibe. A lot of hot women, a lot of guys with chest hair popping out of the top of their striped shirts. As I stood outside with/waiting for friends, I watched the asshole bouncer turn away group after group of people, male and female alike. What a fucking buzzkill. The other time, I was denied. I can't blame them for their little guy/girl ratio-fixing policy, but really - who does this benefit? If a group of 5 attractive girls aren't going to go in because you won't let their lone guy friend in with them... uh, that doesn't make any sense to me. Besides, we all know that women don't pay for their drinks - they find chump guys to. And if you keep the chumps out, who's paying for all that alcohol? If you're a girl and you want to get in, hike up that dress. If you're a guy and you want to get in, when they let your hot female friend in - hold her hand. But I wouldn't bother anyway... this place is WACK.
by Denise S. on I went to Atlanta to visit a friend and I personally liked the downstairs..nice to grab a drink it's got a pretty cool design. I also like that you can go upstairs and have a drink outdoors.
by Tonda Garvin on I was hoping with a name like this that the clientele would be Jewish long island girls in Juicy sweats with flat-ironed hair. Much to my chagrin, the crowd was even more disgusting than that! We came here before the Roisin Murphy show at Mansion to get our pre-game on. Their happy hour is decent, with $4 well drinks and draught beer. Pretty standard - but they do take credit cards ($20 minimum) which is a plus. Behind the bar you can see the bottles lined up in a cooler for some B+T douchebag to purchase and "impress" the ladies with. Minus points for that because DIY bottle service is so 2007. There aren't many places to sit, but luckily my friends and I snagged a corner couch-type thing for ourselves. Across from us were some relatively unattractive folks chowing down on one of Velour's personal pizzas available on their small bar food menu. It looked good enough, but I'm on a strict diet of vodka and soda so I did not partake. The man chowing down on said pizza was doing so while sipping on some cosmo-y type drink surrounded by some less-than-classy ladies. I'll reserve my comments. Half of the seating in the bar was roped off as VIP - which is inherently humorous considering the place was pretty empty. The bartender was nice and attentive for the most part and the place is kept clean. Bottom line though is that the place is awkwardly setup and seems to attract a majorly lame B+T crowd later on at night. If that's your thing I'd suggest Velour as a hangout, but it's unlikely I'll be back.
