10 Bars & Clubs in Atlanta That You Shouldn't Miss

November 8, 2021 Hector Krause

Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the "capital of the new South" and "the next international city" to "the best place to do business." It's also a great place to visit. Fueled by the prosperity of local mega companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves - Atlanta is on fire. And this time it's a good thing. From world-class restaurants and a myriad of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. Stop by the Atlanta History Center or visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Browse through the former home of famous author Margaret Mitchell or pop into the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum for details on the life and times of the former president and his family. Whether you choose modern urban endeavors or old southern pleasures, Atlanta will not disappoint.

Revery is the nation's first full bar (Sorry, Kiddos it's 21+) to incorporate the virtual reality technology (SIMILAR TO A KARAOKE EXPERIENCE). Our founders have a passion for VR and want to make it easily available for everyone to have an unforgettable experience. Located in the heart of Midtown, by Ponce City Market, we are in one of the liveliest parts of Atlanta.

Drinks & Games you get addicted to. We came straight from a whole day team meeting and Cameron set us up in the big booth for two hours. This a real hidden gem in Midtown!

Blind Willie's

Reviewed By ernestb512 - St. Petersburg, United States

I have visited Atlanta many times now since 2011, and Blind Willie;s is the place I go to feel the healing power of the blues. The staff does and great job, and now that the venue is non-smoking, I can recommend this spot for all. If you have never experienced the blues, welcome to the party at this stellar location in Virginia Highlands. Drinks are reasonable, the Shadows are one of the best blues bands around, and there is food, tho I prefer to eat a bit earlier in the evening. Stay for all the sets, you will be glad you did. I enjoy the bourbon flight option myself

Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room and Ping Pong Emporium

Reviewed By SusieQsassy - Atlanta, United States

Looking for a night spot that’s a little off the beaten path? A little crazy and a little naughty? Then go to Church on a Saturday night ;). This is the perfect, slightly sacrilege place where you will not find anywhere else like it. Grab a reasonably priced drink underneath the Jesus sign and the flying nun on roller skates, snap a drunk pic with your friends in the photo booth, play a ping pong game up stairs, and take a trip to “Hell” (the coolest surreal bathroom around). *Insider Tip: this is NOT the place if you are easily offended by religious items being used as decoration, so probably dont bring your devout Catholic grandma.

Reviewed By ATL_Jacket - Eugene, United States

The new management at Joystick have really transformed it from good to great! The bar program is really solid now and Rachel is an excellent bartender. Dae Chow Chow is an awesome Korean pop-up in the kitchen. I especially like the ATL D&D game nights on Monday and Tuesday.

97 Estoria

Reviewed By SavvyTravelsUSA - Atlanta, United States

These guys did it right. Their parking lot was turned into a very large, social distancing patio. Still lots of parking on the street. The staff is diligent with keeping everyone masked. Good selection of beers, (great place to do a shot)! This little pub just outside the Krog St Tunnel in Cabbagetown is surrounded by great art walls. There's a new ATL ceiling mural inside that's a must see.
