by Brent H. on I've been going to MJQ since around 2003 and though it's undergone some changes in the crowd, DJ's, and decor it remains my first choice when I'm going out in Atlanta. The music is all over the place. Don't come expecting to hear Top 40. There are a million other clubs that cater to that. On any given night you will hear a few top 40 songs but you'll also hear Funk, Soul, Dubstep, Dancehall reggae, Baltimore Club, Electro, House, Indie Rock, and just about anything else you can think of. A lot of the DJs take risks which doesn't pay off from time to time but for the most part it definitely works. and one big thing: DO NOT MAKE REQUESTS TO THE DJS. They usually will not honor them anyway. MJQ is one of the few places that really lets DJ's show off their artform and let them be creative. Don't ruin it by asking for the "Boots with the fur" song or Black Eyed Peas. There are two rooms; The main room and the Cafe. For me, the Cafe is the better room. The music's a bit more eclectic and I like the intimate atmosphere. Here's a breakdown of what goes on during the week: Wednesdays: Main Room - Varies. Cafe - House or Funk/hip-hop (alternates weekly) - This is usually when a lot of the dancers in Atlanta show up. The house dancers and poppers tend to dominate the cafe on the house nights and the b-boys dominate on the hip-hop/funk nights. When I say Funk, I'm referring to James Brown style, 60's era Funk and breakbeats. Not 70's "Workin at the car wash" Funk. The dancers have been a staple at MJQ since it was just a little room under the clairmont hotel so if you're a spectator show a bit of respect...don't push anybody, don't get anybody's face, don't make fun of them, etc. As a b-boy I can tell you most of us are very respectful and just want to dance. Price - Free I think Thursdays: First thursdays of the month the Cafe is usually open to accomadate the 21+ crowd who are at Drunken Unicorn for Fuck YESSS, a monthly electro party. Main room's usually closed. Every other thursday, it's usually closed unless there's a special event going on. Friday: Mostly 90's Hip-hop and reggae in both rooms. All the fridays I've been are packed. You'll occasionally see a few b-boys there. Price: 5-10 Saturday: Main room - Used to vary a good bit but lately it's turned into a Dubstep night for most of the time. I like dubstep but unless I'm at a dubstep party, i can get tired of it. The Cafe - also varies a good bit, hard to say what you're going to hear in there on a Saturday. Price: 5-10 2nd saturdays are usually Sloppy Seconds where bigger acts will come through. It gets packed early and is usually 15-20 depending on what acts are there. In my opinion, Saturday has become the weakest night to go but it's still better than 95% of the clubs in Atlanta if you actually want to dance and not pose at a VIP table. If you really want to see MJQ, I say go on a Wednesday. Some final things: -Cash bar. Don't be surprised when you get there. -Parking this is a parking lot across from MJQ that is paid. You can also park in the shopping center on the opposite side where Bookhouse Pub is but it fills up early. There's also street parking on Bonaventure street (Liberty Tattoo is on the corner) and the next street over. Don't park at Kroger, you'll probably get towed. -Leave the sandals and open toed shoes at home. The floor gets filthy and a lot of glass gets broken throughout the night. If you get a cut, it's on you. -Be respectful. I know the bouncers here and they don't put up with BS from anybody. You try and pick a fight or get too rowdy, you will get kicked out in a hurry. -If you want Bottle Service or a VIP section or want to posture and look cool, please, please choose another venue. You're in the wrong place. A lot of what put MJQ on a slight decline in the past couple years is a clientele coming and expecting something it's not and then getting angry about it and ruining the vibe. This isn't coming from a place of pretentious "This was our spot and it needs to stay underground." I simply want the new people that come to check out it to enjoy as much as the regulars who've been coming since it opened. MJQ serves a specific niche in the Atlanta club scene and I would hate to see it become a carbon copy of all the other places out there.
by Amie B. on I'm reallllllllly bummed. I always go to this place...and always have a great time. The drinks are really strong, and the music is good. There are lots of different areas to go to - its just a good place in general. BUT on Wednesday night we got all ready to go there and it was closed!! CLOSED! WTF?
by Hollis Cofresi on I think the word 'cozy' really sums this place up. Everyone that works there has always been overly nice to me, the drinks have been fine, and to me anyway, the music sounds great. I've seen a few pretty mellow bands play here, so that might be why I never noticed any problems with the sound. Just remember to avoid driving there because parking in that area is hellish at best.
