by Hilary L. on Woo! Gay Bars! I have only visited one other gay bar - in SF. Since Atlanta is becoming the new Gay capital of the world it was only appropriate to go to a gay bar. It's sad to see the supply of men turning gay. I'm not sure what we women can do to help stop this trend; more lingerie? More cooking? Cleaning? I don't know what - but the men at this bar were really hot. I'm sad that I couldn't get anyone to buy me a drank. I did get the "you're pretty" compliments which felt great, but not one guy asked for my number!!!! Tear.
by Josie K. on good food. free pitcher of margarita on birthday when you buy a few dishes. i especially liked the hibiscus margarita. see also: the coconut shrimp and the plantains with tamarind sauce, they are glorious. no cover if you go there for dinner; at 10 it becomes a little dance hall with awesome music (some nights it's senegalese with electronic drum circle feel at times) but get out of there by 11:45 because it becomes kind of a clusterfuck, unless you particularly enjoy being smooshed in a sweaty crowd. sometimes i do sometimes i don't, i just like to give the warning.
by Gilda Bason on The mark, for me, of a truly great bar is one with enough elevated space for me to dance on should the need arise. And hip-hop music. And strong drinks. Vertigo has all three.
