Lots of great street art! It's the first free black neighborhood of Atlanta. Lots of small cute houses and great street art! Check out Milltown Arms or 98 Estoria for the bar scene. Check out Carroll St Cafe for some good eats.

Clubs / Late night!
An authentic Atlanta club! Reliably the best dance party in Atlanta Wednesday - Saturday. (Thursday is a little different. It's a more intimate / smaller scene). Free Wednesdays. $10 Thursday - Saturday. It's an endangered species because it got bought by developers:(.

Ok. This is a college-y bar. But the basement has live band karaoke! It's amazing. It's basically a giant sing along and there’s some great talent! English Nick, the MC, is old, as is most of the band... So - as long as you're younger than them...

This is an Atlanta classic. Go to the lounge for a truly unique and diverse experience. Imagine a neighborhood dive that happens to have a dance party on the weekends and a body positive strip club... $20 cover on weekends. $5-10(?) during the week. There's a good dance party Friday and Saturday night. Cash only. The rooftop has a bar too with a nice city view. It's where the previous mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, held her SuperBowl party with TI and Ludicris. Speaking of which, Mick Jagger has been scene in the Lounge, and Mumford & Sons got kicked out for taking pictures. NO PICTURES.

A very cool building that was a Sears distribution center then a city hall annex, then abandoned, and that has now been rehabbed into an upscale food hall, restaurants, and multiuse office / housing / schools / yoga etc. Cool place.

Don't go here. Just thought I'd point that out. The coolest part is when you get to try Coca Cola products from around the world, and the room where you see the historical ads. Consider it a museum of marketing (and maybe some lies).
