RACIST establishment!!!! If you are a black male, avoid going to this bar at all cost. The bouncer would not let me in because I had on a graphic t-shirt, which is not on the list outside of the door. On top of that , I saw plenty of white people inside with PLAIN t-shirts on, which is prohibited according to the dress code sign. I decided to stand in front of the bar for a little while to observe who would be allowed in with t-shirts on, and of course ALL of the white males were let in and the black males were denied (exception only if they went in with a group of white males). The bouncer also allowed entry to white people who came straight from COLOR RUN... REALLY!?!?! I was overdressed compared to them! According to reviews published on other websites, this has been going on for years and I assume the owners agree with these actions,since the guy still works for them.

The ONLY place Ive ever had anything stolen. I walked into this crap hole with friends who wanted to check it out. Walked to the back to check out the whole place and we immediately turned around to leave (it seemed way worse than a "dive bar") and walked straight back to the exit. I saw an atm in the corner by the exit and reached for my wallet in my purse, it was gone. I had it less than a minute earlier when I walked in and showed ID. So this theif got the only good picture ID Ive ever taken and I think $4. It was such a hassle to go to the DMV, bank, and get new insurance cards... PLUS I couldnt visit any other bars without ID so the night was over. Not to mention it was my favorite wallet. We were seriously inside this crowded s#!thole for 40 seconds max before I realized my wallet was gone.

I would avoid this place at all costs. Any place that uses their poorly enforced dress code as a way of denying people because of their skin color is a no go for me. Went last night with a group of friends and one of our friends was denied because of his black tshirt, please dont try to tell me that is not a race thing when your excuse is "its not a graphic t" when I can clearly see that your sign says those arent allowed either AND I see a gentleman inside with a dark grey t shirt and a guy with a black tshirt that says "big butts club." In what universe is that considered dressed up, but dress pants and shoes paired with a solid color black tee.

I have gone to this bar more then 4 years and today they for Decided to tell my boyfriend to take his earrings off. I am not a big fan of them bit that is who he is so I support him. I ask the cop why did he have to take them off we have been coming here for year and never told him that. One other guy was there and began to talk and I said " sorry but you are not the copying Im talking to" ( he was not a cop) he says all fired up " Im the manager and you can leave right now" I just throw up the bye sign and left with my 12 other people. He was rude and it was so unprofessional of his part. Very upset and idk if Ill go back

This is a racist institution. I am a white male who went with my girlfriend (who is black) to Buckhead and thought wed stop in for a quick drink. Walked up to the door and the bouncer told me I wasnt allowed in because they dont allow graphic tees. I replied "are you serious? What if I turn my shirt inside out?" He looked at my girlfriend and replied "Look you guys arent coming in. Get lost." He then proceeded to let in a group of white guys wearing very similar outfits to me. Im disgusted by the presence of this bar in the Atlanta community. Dont waste your time or money at this dump.

The outside bartender was really rude. She snatched a receipt out of my friends hand. Refused to refund a drink that was not wanted. Bar back impersonated a manager. Then overcharged my account. I will be going back to get a copy of my receipt and filing forgery charges. I had a great night until I decided to go outside. This is a bad experience and I do not appreciate how I was treated. Go to hangovers. Do not I repeat do not do business at this establishment and check your accounts. If it happened to me it will happen to you.

my group was turned away because we had on sweatshirts and slim fit jeans that the guy at the door said were too baggy, he also said no earrings and then proceeded to let 3 people in right behind us that had on identical outfits...I hate to make this a race issue but we were the only ones turned away and we were also the only black males turned away...the excuse was that we needed to dress up a little bit even though they were letting people come in with "less" acceptable outfits than ours

Nothing about this place is positive!! They are misogynistic pigs!! If you pay with your card, they will try to over charge your acct so keep your receipts. I watched the security at the front (Nate Mann) try to fight a female and the guys that work on the inside will continuously harass you. Also in addition to all the negatives they are veryyyyyyyyyyy racistttttttt! The staff is clearly trained to not let a certain type of person in the club.. Dont waste your time or money here!!

So was ordering a drink here and the bartender came around the bar to " take a shot". / try to slide his hand up my skirt. While i think i am cute, he is disgusting and must have loved trying to stand next to a 5 ft 9 brunette. Please fatty, you work at dive bar #occupyalife. Place is full of wanna be euro douche bags and skeemy bartenders. Girlfriend was asked to go downstairs to. He "VIP" bathroom "to do some white". Definitely a coke bar..avoid if possible ladies

This is a super racist place. Me and my husband went their this weekend with a group of ppl majority of the white. The allowed what one in except me and my husband.First the security guard said because of his earing then becauce he had on a graphic tee shirt. Yet allowed our other white friends to enter with very similar apparel. Once our friends states that this was outragous then perceedes to most two of the girls in their face. This was the dive bar.

This establishment is run by racist bigots. They have a ridiculous dress code which isnt even properly enforced. I have personally never been rejected from entering, but my friends have been rejected numerous times due to the color of their skin. For example, these bouncers allowed a white male wearing a graphic tee into the bar but proceeded to tell my friend of asian decent that he was not allowed in. They were wearing the same t shirt! Ridiculous.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE, They Are Beyond Rude, Racist, And Disrespectful. The Security Guard Kept Insulting My Friend, A Girl, Calling Her Fat, And The "Atlanta Police Security" Watched And Let It Happen, And Said I Have Nothing To Do With That. Allegedly He Wouldnt Let A Guy In Because He Was Gay, I Dont Know If Thats True But I Wouldnt Be Surprised, The Way They Act There.
