I was brought here not having any clue about this place, just that it was called "The Gold Room". At first I thought they were referring to the new Aurum Lounge, but they are separate places with two equivalent names, and both of them have opened very recently. This place is located in the Lindbergh Area, and apparently used to be a strip club. Coming in here, I can totally see how it used to be. Apparently the owners are trying to distance themselves from the strip club aspect and make it a pure nightclub, but they can't escape how the club has been built. First off, there are big bouncer dudes outside and a check-in area to pay cover, which COULD be nightclub-ish but just gives off a stripclub vibe. The inside is very, very nice. On the night I went, I paid a $10 cover, but I heard the prices varying from free to $20, so I have no clue. There are a few VIP-looking tables/areas as well, but none of them were enforced the day I went. The upstairs area looks down into the main floor through glass windows, and I guess that could be converted to a VIP lounge if necessary. The main lounge downstairs has a very cool bar area with multiple huge TVs playing in the background and a lot of nice liquor bottles being backlit. The music was relatively good... it wasn't super generic club music but it wasn't anything special either. This place doesn't seem TOO conducive to dancing... I think the crowd preferred to bob their heads and shuffle their feet but there wasn't too much outright dancing like in other clubs. More like a people-watching venue, but not in a super pretentious way. The crowd was very good looking, probably one of the best overall average looks places I've seen in Atlanta so far. Then again, I've only gone once so please don't take my word for it. The only thing taking it down from 5 stars is that it is pricey as expected for a club (cocktails for 8-10 bucks, beers for 5-6 bucks) and it's not diverse. There were a few black people here and there, but it's mostly white. I was the only asian person i saw there all night, except for the bartender asian girl. Still, this place is worth checking out at least once. Great ambiance, venue, etc.

Experience #1: New Years Eve 09'. Pretty fun time, dance party, free champagne at midnight.. until my favorite winter coat and cell phone were stolen! I reached for my coat which was on a nearby barstool to make some celebratory phone calls and my cell was in the pocket of my coat. Both disappeared - both now belong to a guilty stranger. I notified the bartenders and bouncers - they helped me look, people offered to buy me drinks.. One guy even offered me his coat - they were very sweet but I was sad, and in tears. You should not have to worry about stuff like that in Woodside if you ask me. I posted notices in the bar and at the subway stop - never heard anything.. sad sad sad. Experience #2: The other night my gal pal and I stopped in for a couple beers. We sat down at the bar, it was decently full but not crowded. Nice bartendress poured our brews, took a couple sips and then from out of nowhere CREEPERS attacked! Two dudes pulled up next to us and stared the creepy stare like you wouldn't believe! We would glare over at them, they'd look away fast and then a moment later right back at us - gross! We covered our glasses with coasters and stepped outside to confess how uncomfortable we both felt - these were the type of creeps that had probably already ruffied our drinks. So we left. Not worth the stress - just a couple girls trying to have a nice night out. Conclusion: I don't care that you have very cute Halloween decorations and one of the only dance floors in Woodside Sean Og's - you attract bad people, and there are better neighborhood bars that deserve my business.
