The Brick Store Pub

125 E Court Sq
Decatur, GA 30030

Captain D. writes: Oh Brick Store, you saucy wench... why don't I love you more?

Let me be counting the STARS....

STAR #1 & #2
First you tempt me with your heady Eurotrash beers, full of punk and lightning... a full naval skirmish in your mouth, your throat, your brain.…

Fox Theatre
Neighborhood: Midtown

660 Peachtree St NE
Atlanta, GA 30308

Lauren S. writes: Oh I love the Fox. I can't believe they once thought of tearing this beauty down.

I am reminded of when I was in elementary school and we went there to see The Nutcracker. I was in awe of the beautiful dancers, but also the theatre itself. The…

Starlight Six Drive-In

2000 Moreland Ave SE
Atlanta, GA 30316

Ivan S. writes: Star light, star bright, how many movies will we see tonight?
I wish I may, I wish I might, drink some beer with you tonight.

And thus, The Starlight Drive-In inspires many an ode to its, and I'm being technical here, AWESOMENESS. These are warm…

Eddie's Attic

515 N McDonough St
Decatur, GA 30030

Berlin B. writes: I give Eddie's a 4.5. It is an amazingly cool environment for just relaxing and listening to acoustic music. I am really starting to annoy the staff there because I keep thinking I can walk in there without paying the not so expensive $5-10 cover…

Martin Luther King Jr Center

450 Auburn Ave NE
Atlanta, GA 30312

InfodivaMLIS B. writes: Yo Martin. Happy Birthday To Ya. I am singing the Stevie Wonder Song for you.

Dante's Down the Hatch
Neighborhood: Buckhead

3380 Peachtree Rd NE
Atlanta, GA 30326

The Tabernacle
Neighborhood: Downtown

152 Luckie St.
Atlanta, GA 30303

Falicia G. writes: I love this venue! I saw The Roots here so my review is totally biased. The show was off the hook! The reason being that in the Tabernacle, you have a great view from everywhere! Lupe Fiasco opened up and from the balcony, you could see that the…

Eyedrum

290 Martin Luther King Jr Dr S
Atlanta, GA 30312

Michelle K. writes: I had an art show here last semester and it was really cool. It's just an open area that allows acts or art projects from pretty much any line - paintings, media, entertainment, etc. I was part of Georgia Tech's Listening Machines night, and it was…

Landmark Midtown Art Cinema
Neighborhood: Midtown

931 Monroe Dr
Atlanta, GA 30308

Adam R. writes: This is an older theater which has one very important distinction from most other theaters: they serve beer!

How can I resist drinking some Sweetwater when watching a movie? It is an old theater, not very big, and has no stadium seating which makes us…

Neighborhood: Downtown

499 Peachtree St NE
Atlanta, GA 30308

Randy G. writes: Went on Saturday night on a UYE and had an absolute wonderful time. The show that night was "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)"

Churchill Grounds
Neighborhood: Midtown

660 Peachtree St NE
Atlanta, GA 30308

J C. writes: 'Straight No Chaser'. That's what I think of when I think of Churchill Grounds. My step-father brought me up listening to all of the classic jazz artists...Mingus, Parker, Davis, Evans, Silver...on and on. Because of that exposure I grew a…

Smith's Olde Bar
Neighborhood: Morningside / Lenox Park

1578 Piedmont Ave NE
Atlanta, GA 30324

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

1293 Peachtree St NE Ste 300
Atlanta, GA 30309

Drew W. writes: Atlanta is truly fortunate to have such an accomplished symphony given the city's relatively short history of supporting the fine arts. The symphony performs more than 200 concerts each year, ranging from concerts in Piedmont Park to their holiday…

Atlanta Botanical Garden

1345 Piedmont Ave NE
Atlanta, GA 30309

Vanessa T. writes: I have this weird thing about visiting the Botanical Gardens of the different states and countries in which I find myself. It's only weird in so much as I never set out to do it, but it always inevitably happens. I'm taking a walk, I'm adjusting the…

Young Blood Gallery and Boutique
Neighborhood: Poncey-Highland

636 N Highland Ave
Atlanta, GA 30306

Brian H. writes: Youngblood rules the school. I have been hip to it for a couple of years now, and I think the initial regrets about not getting hip sooner have worn off. Seriously, it's the cat's pajamas.

Let's be honest with each other. Where else are you going to…

Philips Arena
Neighborhood: Downtown

1 Philips Dr NW
Atlanta, GA 30303

Drew W. writes: The sight lines are great from virtually every seat in the house, whether it's for sports or a concert. I should know, by this point I think I've sat everywhere from the press box to the nosebleeds in the 400 section to the glass for hockey and 8th…

Plaza Theatre

1049 Ponce De Leon Ave NE
Atlanta, GA 30306

Arnab M. writes: I love these old but functioning movie theaters that show bygone movies and indie flicks. I got to see Persepolis here, long after it released and left most theaters, which was nice. Minus one star because the projector was out of focus for about 5…

The Northside Tavern
Neighborhood: Westside / Home Park

1058 Howell Mill Rd NW
Atlanta, GA 30318

Rebecca O. writes: Sunday night blues at Northside Tavern ... my new favorite activity.

Johnny's Pizza & Subs

676 Highland Ave NE
Atlanta, GA 30312

Deanna J. writes: Word on the street is that one of our New York (read: Pizza Expert) friends endorses Johnny's as good pizza. In fact, apparently it's his new Atlanta pizza crush.

Though this is a chain, I get the feeling that each location has its own flavor. The…

14th Street Playhouse
Neighborhood: Midtown

173 14th St NE
Atlanta, GA 30309

Cory F. writes: Okay, I'll admit I'm biased on this one because I work here, BUT, I wouldn't work here unless they were good people to work with and produced quality material!

I've spent 6 months here in Atlanta performing on the mainstage of the 14th Street…

Center for Puppetry Arts
Neighborhood: Midtown

1404 Spring Street N.W.
Atlanta, GA 30309

The puppet shows are AMAZING. They use all sorts of different styles of puppetry, from shadow to string to…

Turner Field

755 Hank Aaron Dr SW
Atlanta, GA 30315

Deanna J. writes: Ah, Turner Field. After a few years in Atlanta and more than one Braves game under my belt, there's no more parking frustration and I also have the 'locals' back way to get home as to avoid post game traffic. All in all, as a field, there's some…

AMC Parkway Pointe 15

3101 Cobb Pkwy
Ste 201
Atlanta, GA 30339

Lefont Theatre Sandy Springs

Sandy Springs Circle NE
Sandy Springs, GA 30358

Atlanta, GA 30342

The Earl
Neighborhood: East Atlanta Village

488 Flat Shoals Rd
Atlanta, GA 30316

Berlin B. writes: People seem to go the Earl for the bands and cool east-atlanta-show-off-you r-tats environment. I usually end up at the Earl for the drink. Of the times that I have gone (normally around Sunday brunch time), I have missed the bands and only hung…

The Drunken Unicorn

736 Ponce de Leon Place
Atlanta, GA 30306

Valentina V. writes: Unicorns here, unicorns there...Deanna said it loud and clear, there is nowhere in the U.S. featuring more unicorn paraphernalia. You can't, CAN'T ignore the fact that you are in an environment that resembles some sort of underground, dark version of…

Blind Willie's

828 N Highland Ave Ne
Atlanta, GA 30306

Falicia G. writes: This place is a gem in the Highlands. Walking around outside you may feel like you are in yuppie-ville but once you step into Blind Willie's the crowd changes into a more diverse (age, culture, style) crowd that can appreciate good live music.

I went…

Rialto Center for the Arts
Neighborhood: Downtown

80 Forsyth St
Atlanta, GA 30303

Apache Cafe
Neighborhood: Midtown

64 3rd St NW
Atlanta, GA 30308

High Museum of Art
Neighborhood: Midtown

1280 Peachtree St NE
Atlanta, GA 30309

Roxy
Neighborhood: Buckhead

3110 Roswell Rd NW
Atlanta, GA 30305

Oh and a liquor store in back which served a…
