Description:
DOWNTOWN. Set in the lower part of a former warehouse, this eminently appealing place has been pleasing patrons since 1981. Its dim, well-loved interior boasts leather furniture and a substantial bar, where regulars hang out after the work day's done. During the day, a menu of light fare is available, and appetizers are standard at night. Old-school drinks (especially martinis) are a source of great delight to patrons, and beer, wine, and liqueurs can also be had. Plus, there's live music – mostly jazz – offered nightly. A great, laid-back destination.

Description:
LITTLE FIVE POINTS. Sometimes overshadowed by Atlanta's other night scenes, Little Five Points has much to offer. Take the popular Euclid Avenue Yacht Club, which promotes itself as the "most exclusive yacht club in Atlanta." Indeed, everybody from Hog-riding bikers to members of the local hard-rock and Dead Head scenes to the occasional Virginia Highlands refugees hang out at this offbeat joint. Nautical decor and colorful personalities notwithstanding, the Yacht Club serves up potent cocktails and just about any domestic brew you can imagine. Best of all, there's no cover.

Star Community Bar |

(Nightlife - Bars) |

437 Moreland Ave, Atlanta 30307 • 404-681-5740
|
|
Distance:
~12.21 mi * |
|
|
| |
Description:
LITTLE FIVE POINTS. From the hokey Elvis shrine across from the main stage to the retro-style Little Vinyl Lounge, this Little Five Points classic is 100% rock-n-roll. Fun bands, loud music, and cheap beer are hot commodities at the Star, and it's not uncommon to find a few yuppies interspersed among the more rustic regulars. If you feel like taking a break from the deafening Southern rock or blues acts onstage, head downstairs to the seedy LVL, a self-described "bucket of sin with a stain-resistant skin," where the happy hour scene is laid back and the jukebox is the stuff of legends.

Description:
WESTSIDE. A fun Westside beer joint, this one is a little out of the way, but that doesn't deter the regulars who hang out there. Decidedly casual, anything goes as far as attire. But if you are downtown sightseeing or having a meal, it's an entertaining place to head afterwards. The schedule is full of live shows, which range from great to less-than-great. Pool tables and homestyle grub round out this laid-back nightspot's offerings.

Manuel's Tavern |

(Nightlife - Bars) |

602 N Highland Ave, Atlanta 30307 • 404-525-3447
|
|
Distance:
~12.47 mi * |
|
|
| |
Description:
PONCEY-HIGHLAND. Somewhere in between Va-Hi and Little Five Points, cozy Manuel's stands as the stately grandfather of Atlanta's nightlife scene. The bar the "New York Times" once referred to as "Atlanta's quintessential neighborhood bar" dates back to the mid-50s, when Manuel Maloof opened the place to serve sandwiches and suds to the neighborhood crowd. Today, the joint serves as a city archives of sorts, with its Coca-Cola mural, classic Braves pennants, and old beer cans. Sunday nights feature Manuel's popular trivia contests, which tend to get fairly competitive, and the Laughing Matters comedy troupe leaves patrons in stitches the first Saturday of each month.

|
|
| |
Description:
MIDTOWN. A location near Piedmont Park, floor-to-ceiling windows looking out on 10th Street, and a friendly, casual vibe distinguish this neighborhood bar, whose clientele is largely gay. For many years, Blake's has been a top place to socialize, have a drink, and check out other attractive patrons before heading to late-night dance clubs. Shaking up the regular goings-on are frequent drag performances. Although guys of all ages are welcome, most of them fall into the 20s to 30s range. NB The menu features breakfast eats all day as well as downhome ditties like fried pickles and tater tots.

Description:
PONCEY-HIGHLAND. A great alternative to the high-profile joints in Va-Hi and Little Five Points, this North Poncey gem is a favorite with the local alternative crowd, who adore the eclectic beer selection and cool music. Take a seat at the funky bar area and imbibe to your heart's content or, if you like, make your way over to what may be the downtown area's best jukebox and pick a few of your favorite Smiths, REM, Dylan, Cure, or Pixies tunes. In addition, the Righteous Room's kitchen serves up some of the best bar food you can imagine, whether it's one of their tasty burgers with fried onion straws or a turkey pita and hummus.

Description:
VIRGINIA HIGHLAND. A Virginia Highlands favorite, this retro dive has been serving up great pub grub and cold brews to neighborhood folks since the late 40s, becoming a sort of local historic site along the way. Crusty Braves pennants date back to the days when guys like Matthews and Aaron patrolled the field. Check out the old timey phone booth, antique cash register, and the classic PBR and other beer-related paraphernalia – hey, somebody has to collect that stuff! Saddle up to one of the old vinyl bar stools, order something fried and a tall pitcher of beer, and just let the scene take over. You'll quickly start to think of Moe's & Joe's as a second home.

Description:
MIDTOWN. You'll love this SOB – that's Smith's Olde Bar, of course. Though DJ dance parties are common, you'll also frequently find live music presented on the circular stage. Special songwriters' nights often showcase up-and-coming talents on the cabaret-style stage. If you aren't in the mood to dance or if the live show isn't your style, head downstairs for free jazz, or get into a game of pool. The relaxed vibe and broad array of entertainment options make this venue a favorite.
