Chanterelles's in the West End is still going strong!

You see alot of Hip-Hop Heads in there getting down like member of the Goodie Mob and Young Jeezy. I need to slide through there myself good eating!

[b]i have always sleep on ATL mainly due to the perception of it being "mainly black" as I am not attracted to most black females. But there is other stuff to offer in other departments as well.

the latin community in ATL would blow out my average all american city. lol[/b]

Yeah people fail to realize that It's a little bit of everything out here in Atlanta. Even sometimes when I talk to some older white people on the plane when I tell them I live in Atlanta they have this weird look like it's still segregated down here or something. When I first moved here back in 1998 It was definitely mostly a White/Black Metro area but now It's much more diverse with Asians and Latinos moving here and It's continuing to grow which is a win win in my situation.

[speakeasy]

I had a short stint in Atlanta in the mid 90s. It thought it was "ok" at the time but couldn't see myself staying there for good so I left. It's probably a lot different now.

ATL has loads of sexy women. It may have the perception of being a 'black' town, but it has loads hot blondes with Georgian hospitality at its finest. And though you may not be into black girls, there will likely be one or two that you will want to take on a ride.

ATL...can barely remember all the names...Lisa, Heidi, Victoria...some great hospitality down there if you know what I mean, son.

[Veni Vidi Pimpi]

Haha, Dash. ATL is definitely not as segregated as it once was but even if you don't like Black chicks just go up to Alpharetta, Kennesaw, Cobb County, and Gwinnett and you can find plenty of other chicks. Midtown has a good set as does Virginia Highlands. Hey, even in Decatur you have the educated Emory crowd.

[InternationalSwagger]

And for the Hipster crowd check out East Atlanta Village, Little Five Points, Grant Park and Poncey Highland. Atlanta has it all I'm tellin ya!

The Emory University & Agnes Scott ladies are very "educated brotha" friendly...guess since its a liberal arts school they tend to lean that way. You can catch them at bars in Virginia Highlands & the aforementioned spots or chillin in quaint Downtown Decatur or Druid Hills/Toco Hills for the most part.

To keep tabs on the rock/indie/hipster/arts scene in Atlanta you have to pick up this free magazine called Creative Loafing. You can find it all over Intown Atlanta (ITP) and check events online. They have the whole rock/jazz/blues/indie/hipster/arts scene covered and I really enjoy their pieces and perspective. http://clatl.com/

Here is a listing of some of the more popular places that I frequent sometimes that are great for the rock/indie/hipster/arts crowd scene and more low key that the mainstream places most people go to in Atlanta.

MJQ Concourse - Poncey Highland
EL Bar - Poncey Highland
Star Bar - Little Five Points
Graveyard Tavern - East Atlanta Village
Masquerade - Poncey Highland
Eastside Lounge - East Atlanta Village
Lennys - Old 4th Ward

All good these spots are great for cute hipster chicks and good music.

Hit up Virginia Highlands and East Atlanta Village If you want to bar hop in Atlanta with good live music/djs.

Dash, the milk chocolate is good, but sometimes a little darker chocolate is good too.

I frequent a lot of the hipster spots around little five and midtown, MJQ in particular. It's cool for the first few hours but at around 1 it gets incredibly hot and crowded. Couple that with cigarette smoke so thick that it burns the hell out of your eyes around all that body heat, the party comes to an end pretty quickly. Oh well. At least you can actually see the inside of the bathrooms now.
The Masquerade is another cool place if you're down with the hipster crowd and you don't mind hang around a few goths here and there. Everyone is super friendly and the girls are usually pretty warm there and the place has two rooms, one hip hop and one 80s music.

Humm..I've been wanting to bang a gothic chic for a while now, especially the vampire looking ones. I checked this place out on yelp, and most reviews were pretty negative. One cat even said that security guards are skinheads (and we all know what that means). The second gripe was that all events are all ages, so you see immature brats causing trouble.

Hummm..

i like some of the more main stream rock/pop/punk bands that go to places like the Masquerade and every concert i go to im one of the only few people that are over 21. good thing is there is a few older hot emoish punkerish rock chicks and im pretty sure these girls are the EASIEST fucks!

[thieflikeme]

well for the concerts its usually all ages, but on thursdays they have oldwave/bootylicious and that's 18+.
I'd also like to mention I'm black, and when i went there everyone was a lot more friendly than I thought. I knocked over this dudes beer one time and OFFERED to buy him another one and he refused, said it was fine and not to worry, patted me on the back and walked away.
Also a lot of the people there kept mentioning this bar Shelter. http://www.theshelteratl.com/
I've never been there but it looks like it caters to a more goth/punk crowd.

[Kid Strangelove]

I visited Atlanta to hang with some college friends this thanksgiving, and WOW, I gotta say, I came across the single best bar I have seen in the USA so far:


East Andrews

Let me explain:
--- no line
--- lots of girls, with very few guys hitting on them
--- drink prices are reasonable
--- music isnt loud enough to overpower a conversation.

And when we went, my friend told me that we were there on a slow night. Damn

Well im not real familiar with alot of those type venues but anyone can find them with ease. I usually hit up concerts at the Brewery in Raleigh NC. I remb hearing about the Masquerade in ATL when a band I like was playing there. Was contemplating making the 5 hour drive.

All you do to find out where to find these chicks is google the bands that they like (pop/punk/rock) and see where they are going to play concerts at.

I have a feeling most of US black men dont really like dark skin women, nearly all the US black cats i have rolled with never really liked dark skin women, i think that will be a winning situation for me, i love the dark skin women, yo i cant wait to fly to Atlanta, i am destroying this city.

[Aliblahba]

@Dash-I used to live in Garner. That rides more like 6.5 hours to d/t ATL, and a shitty one at that. I'd rather fly.

I've ran through parts of ATL and it was alright. I prefer to stay outside the beltline though. Due to the inflated housing a lot of girls live out even as far as Winder. Typically girls will rotate weekends to party. 1 in d/t and the other where they live. The bars in the outlying areas are small and have no competition. Guys are dressed in Affliction tee's or their Sunday's best realtree camo from Walmart. I walk in wearing nice jeans, urban boots, peacoat w/ scarf and the girls stare. Stepping in dressed to the 9's? Fuck. The talent is mostly the same w/out the bitch shields, prices, traffic, cops, and competition. And Athens? Don't even get me started.

[Giovonny]

ATL is a great fucking city to party in. Beautiful women of all colors and nationalities. People are generally very freindly.

I like black women so it was great for me. I just went to the universites and chatted up some fine sisters. The first girl I approached, I kiss closed. It was so easy. I just said "Hi".."How are you?"...blah blah blah...then i said..."Do the sistas out here date whiteboys"...she giggled and say "oh yes".."its very open out here"...i said.."lets hang out sometime"...she said ok and gave me her number...then i just leaned in and started kissing her. That was my first 5 mins at some college near Peachtree. And the nightlife scence down there was very good and east to manuver

Places like this are so much better then the big cosmopolitian places like NY, LA, Miami

If you guys went to places like ATL, Austin (TX), Athens (GA), Norman (OK) Chicago, and Minneapolis. There would be alot less complaining about American girls.

These smaller, more country type places have girls that are just a hot and was easier to talk to, in general.

Where are you from? I like dark skin women as well, it'll be like killing crabs in a barrel, I'll rinse so many melanin enriched lizards, mahfukas will be calling me Big Z..

[Black Quixote]

Dude.

Where. In The Hell Am I then?

I cant figure out this place for anything. Maybe I am just going about this the wrong way.

[choichoi]

ATL's metro area is really effin spread out. I know because I make that nocturnal migration from the outer burbs to the inner perimeter about 2-3 times a week. Because driving is such a necessity, here it creates quite a dilemma for those who drink heavy then have to return to their suburban homes that can be some 15-25 (or more) miles from the city center. Public trans is non-existent between 1am and 5pm (wtf?!).

[amistod]

Choi is right... it is pretty much a logistical nightmare of a city.

[velkrum]

If your into black girls ATL is a great ! other than that...its really not that big of a deal. Atlanta lacks diversity, has to many cold career oriented women and the different cultural communities don't appreciate outsiders. it also doesn't help that its a giant sprawl.

Nightlife is AWFUL ! over crowded clubs, poor male to female ratios and generally bad attitudes.

On the flip side it does have a nice proximity to a lot of scenic beautiful places and you can buy a luxury condo at very cheap prices. The gentrified areas are really nice and have a modern upscale feel.

Agree 200% especially about the career women. I've live in atl a few times ran through alot of women there and have tons of family so I know atl very well.

Overrated, wanna be Bollywood. Especially for blacks, every chick you meet is a wanna be actress, singer, artist, model etc of that glamor shit while working at victoria secret even though they have never modeled in their lives or did a cd cover photo shoot for some local extra average ass rapper.

The majority are trying to live like they already are models, or some other glamorous career, driving pay by the week range rovers, and bmw's acting like they have their shit together it is all smoke screens, I have been to sooo many clubs, parties, private parties I can remember but all basically the same ole shit.

Best thing about the city is the 50%+ of the black men are gay so its an abundance of single women and know that a decent dude thats not gay is very very hard to find.

So you can fuck em and pass em with no worries of running out. But they all are running the same script, Im an educated blk woman, with my own house, car, etc working on my university of phoenix degree, while doing modeling on the side bla bla bla.

Good travel hub though as most airlines fly through there, at one time was #1 busiest airport in usa, not sure.

My fav thing to do was go to atlantic station and just post up and hit some of the resturants and bars its like a little city inside of atl with stores, movies, bars, etc and always a ton of people out so its easy to just walk up on girls anywhere.

http://atlanticstation.com/

Traffic is the worst, so club hopping is out of the question.

Strip clubs are like normal clubs you will see alot of girls in there with the guys, i know plenty of girls that go to the strip clubs just to hang out so its nothing to take a chick out there.

North atl buckhead and anything going up 400 is more $$ south atl is usually more hood, so if you like the hood chicks head south by the airport.

And the gay dudes have taken over the city, it was voted gayest city in america, they have a huge black gay pride week which they loose their mind and take over everything.

Good place to visit for a weekend but thats about it.

My experience is with the blk chicks, now the white chicks in atl seem to alot more laid back and more fun and alot of brothers are making the switch.

50%+ Black men in ATL gay!!!??? Gayest city in US!!!??? WTF. I don't buy into that at all. But, I'll let IntlSwagger chime in on this.

I do, however, believe that many of the sistas there have what I characterize as the Tyra Banks Syndrome.

Yes -- I'm sure the bruhs cross the color line there like any other city.

BTW, are you a brotha???
