by Jim F. on Yeesh. I read the reviews of this place but thought they might have been a little overly dramatic and snobby. Nope; this place is DOUCHEBAG CENTRAL. First off, it's an English pub with Irish shit (shamrocks, etc.) everywhere. My Irish blood finds this quite offensive, and I'm sure any real Englishman would find it offensive to his heritage as well. But back to the DOUCHEBAGS. They're everywhere, and judging by the overpowering Drakkar Noir and Polo Sport cologne, frat t-shirts, and white baseball caps, I think every fraternity was represented there. The kind of dudes who think motorcycle safety means wearing flip-flops, a backwards hat, and Oakley Blades on their Kawasaki Ninja 250. If you love Affliction and Ed Hardy shirts, you'll fit in great here. The girls are the gum-snapping, glitter-faced, too-much-perfume, platform flip-flop wearing type of skanks. I didn't know these people still existed since the early 2000s, but they're alive and well at Sherlock's. The music was awful; inside it was teenage pop-punk and out on the patio it was some kind of crappy club/house music. The only thing I can't complain about is the normal drink prices. ($3 or so for a beer.)
by Blanch Krichbaum on According to some friends who've lived in Atlanta way longer than I have, this spot used to be the place for the electronic music scene when it was a club called something like 1511.... Even with tickets and trying to get in paying $50/each for V.I.P we were told to wait outside for close to 20 minutes. There are attractive crowds and people in usual club attire. Basically, if you want a large nightclub experience partying in ATL you could do worse than Opera, but be prepared for the usual downsides: selective people at the door, expensive drinks and bar time at 2am?!?!
