The Mark Ultralounge |

79 Poplar St, Atlanta 30303 • 678-904-0050

Distance:
~10.77 mi * |
 |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Formerly that bastion of cool known as Karma, The Mark does the former a few shakes better with its über-hip decor reminiscent of a post-mod movie set and its world-famous DJs attracting some of Atlanta's most beautiful 20- and 30-somethings. The surreal scene is marked by eerie lighting, luxe lounge areas, weathered brick walls, contemporary artwork and TV monitors hung at strange angles – a combined effect that would probably leave Dali himself in awe. If Atlanta needed a lounge to attract trendsetters, this sleek hotel-style bar has definitely hit the "mark."

Rail, finally, hosts special events as they arise. Throughout the week, different nights focus on dance, international, and Asian music.

|
Distance:
~12.42 mi * |
|
|

Description:
PONCEY-HIGHLAND. The subterranean MJQ Concourse pulsates with everything from punk and industrial rock to house and R&B. A wide mix of people meet here on weekend nights, including Tech students, young professionals and die-hard clubbers, many dressed in the hippest Euro-wear. Add to the mix a curious, Japanese-influenced decor, and you've got all the right ingredients for a proper cosmopolitan dance club. When you need a break from "moving to the groove," make your way to the lounge area where you'll find a couple of comfy sofas and a skilled bartender with plenty of cocktails to go around.

Hoedowns |
|
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs) |
|
931 Monroe Dr, Atlanta 30308 • 404-876-0001
|
|
Distance:
~12.65 mi * |
|
|
| |
Description:
MIDTOWN. The first thing you'll notice about Hoedowns is that the guys are serious about their dancing. The mainly gay crowd stays intent on two-stepping, and the in-synch action looks practically choreographed. If you're not on the dance floor (and you'd better know what you're doing if you are!), the spectacle is a lot of fun to watch, beer in hand. There's nothing fancy about the place, which is what many patrons find so refreshing. A pool table and some pinball machines are available, and if you really want to be part of the scene, show up for their free dance lessons (usually Tuesday through Thursday nights and Sunday evenings). Credit cards accepted for purchases of $20 or more.

Description:
MIDTOWN. A cool vibe runs throughout this swanky lounge, part of which is swathed in leopard prints as the name promises. The mid-century modern decor is an apt environment for patrons who cultivate a retro attitude of their own. Martinis are de rigeur, although a variety of cocktails is available, including your favorite. On the lower floor, you'll find DJs offering dance music to groups of young professionals, who gyrate their way into the night. An outdoor patio and three bars ensure that you're never at a loss for leisure pursuits, and comfortable furniture inside provides the opportunity to kick back and relax. If you get hungry, there's gourmet pizza to eat. Great atmosphere in a turn-of-the-century home.

|

Description:
MIDTOWN. A night scene trifecta in the truest sense, this multi-level building houses one of the trendiest nightclubs in Atlanta, a suave lava-surfaced bar and a cozy South Beach-style lounge area. The dance floor, located on the lower level, vibrates to the latest house and industrial beats. Between songs, the young and the beautiful alike line up at the crescent-shaped lava bar to sample what many believe are Midtown's best martinis. Meanwhile, the tony lounge, highlighted by indigo and saffron accents, entices patrons to relax amid velvet couches and a warm fireplace. Lava's 20-something scene often spills onto its candlelit patio, shared with sister nightspot Cosmo.

BUCKHEAD. Not exactly what its name suggests, the trendy Hole in the Wall is a favorite of Buckhead's young and hip crowd, who shake their stuff to the best 70s and 80s grooves until the wee hours. The expansive dance floor, flanked by funky hand-painted murals and hypnotic disco lights, gets packed on the weekends, so show up early to stake your claim. The Hole's kitchen serves up tasty bar food and, if you need to catch your breath, the lounge area offers several comfy leather couches.

Distance:
~16.65 mi * |

Description:
BUCKHEAD. Located along Buckhead's über cool East Andrews corridor, Aiko plays the duality card with a bit of contemporary panache. In the early evening, the fashionably-clad clientele tends to focus on the fare – artistically presented maki, nigiri and sashimi, to be exact. Later in the evening, the bartenders and DJs hold sway, mixing fabuolus martinis and pulse-pounding beats, respectively. Sexy, seductive and exceedingly modern, the space is sure to ensnare even the snobbiest of scenesters.
