by Eric A. on Cool atmosphere. I reminded me of clubs in LA. I went here for an event that started at 6pm, it was crowded. The layout could be better to entice larger crowds, but I guess this day in age, crowded = better
by amy h. on since i've been out of the punkrock scene for over a decade (hello corporate world), DIY punk is something i haven't witnessed for quite some time...the denim jackets strewn together with hoodies, sewn-on patches and faux leopard print, dreads, studs, spikes, and piercings. after getting off a rather lengthy flight from the left coast to the ATL, my friend obliged me with a drink at a local hipster hangout in poncey highland, appropriately named 'the local'. as we walked past a car parked in the lot with a NOFX sticker prominently displayed on the trunk, i could tell this place was special. from the street, this joint looked more like a country ranch than a trendy hangout, but the minute we walked in, i could sense the tight pants and low-lit dive bar hipster essence that was contained within. never in a hundred years would i have guessed this place would have fernet, but when the crust punk bartender poured my drink, and 'dont call me white' started blaring on the jukebox, i knew that this was going to be a trip to the dirty that i wouldnt soon forget...
