Welcome to NightGuide Atlanta! Your guide to Nightlife for the Greater Atlanta area.
Known for having more bars than houses of worship -- somewhat of a rarity in the Old South -- Atlanta packs a wallop when the sun goes down. Rockers from assorted generations have either grown up in Atlanta or adopted it as home, often livening up the club scene. Elton John lives part-time in Buckhead, and groups like the Atlanta Rhythm Section are also warmly welcomed. Atlanta nightlife embraces coffeehouses to sports bars and high-energy dance clubs with electrifying rhythms for gays, lesbians and straights.
At Buckhead’s Chastain Park Amphitheatre, music lovers show up with picnic baskets and candelabras to applaud artists like Harry Connick Jr. or Melissa Ethridge. Underground Atlanta sizzles at night, and The Atlantic Station opened in 2005, reclaiming Midtown’s Atlantic Steel Mill site with a two-story movie theater, celebrity-attracting restaurants, retail and other entertainment. Among top live music venues, The Tabernacle’s five-levels with a restaurant host artists from Bob Dylan to LL Cool J, UB40 and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Built in 1916, the Rialto Center for the Performing Arts at Georgia State draws crowds to downtown’s historic Fairlie-Poplar district. Centennial Olympic Park, also downtown, hosts the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. HiFi Buys Amphitheatre showcases Aerosmith to Jimmy Buffett. The Georgia Dome books mega-concerts between grid action, and the new Philips Arena features acts from Cher to Z.Z. Top. The Masquerade features live music and a dance club, and other big draws include 9 Lives Saloon, Buckhead Roxy, the Brandy House, Smith’s Olde Bar, Cotton Club, Earthlink Live, Eddie’s Attic, and Blind Willie’s. In May, soulful sounds of the sax are heard throughout the city during the Atlanta Jazz Festival, the nation’s largest free jazz extravaganza. Throughout the year, many hot spots are open seven nights, until wee hours.
