About 10Best's Atlanta Nightlife Selections:

Little gauges a city's vibrancy better than its nightlife, and Atlanta, by all accounts, has nothing to fear. Rife with alternatives, the metropolitan area boasts everything from raucous dance clubs to intimate bars and swank lounges. The strongest contenders for action are the Buckhead and Midtown neighborhoods, although the crossroads of Virginia-Highland holds its own as well. In Buckhead, roam the scene nightly, scoping out their favorites. Tops among them is upscale Sambuca Jazz Café. South of Buckhead, Midtown offers posh ambience, thanks to a substantial gay population. Resident clubs boast some of the city's best dancing, courtesy of terrific sound systems, cutting-edge interiors, and hip dress codes. Showcased is the strong cool quotient of both Leopard Lounge and Sutra Lounge. A quieter nightlife scene prevails in the Highlands, whose relaxed bars and pubs prove that style doesn't have to be ostentatious. There, Blind Willie's delivers consistently fantastic blues, and the Dark Horse Tavern caps hectic days with live rock and a blissfully comfortable social scene where "Hey, y'all" flows as easily as the beer.

Atlanta's best kept secret, which shouldn't be a secret too much longer. Great ambiance, good service, warm and exciting atmosphere, and great food menu offered on certain nights. Host anything from parties, nightlife, live entertainment, art shows, etc.

Bottom of the Cup Indoor Golf and Sports Bar

7435 Spout Springs Rd, Flowery Branch, GA 30542

User Rating:  Rating: 5 / 5   (Rate It)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

Bottom of the Cup is the only indoor golf bar in Georgia with the top-notch Full Swing Golf Simulators. You can play on any of 50+ Championship golf courses from around the world (Pebble Beach, St Andrews, etc). You use your own clubs, take full shots... it's just like real golf EXCEPT weather doesn't matter (never too hot, too cold, too rainy) and you will NEVER lose another golf ball again! Bottom of the Cup is also a rockin' sports bar with a full bar, great staff, and awesome food. Bottom of the Cup is great - highly recommended for locals and visitors (REAL close to Chateau Elan in the Braselton area).

We went for the first time to O'Terrill's for the recommended fish and chips; heard they were the best in Atlanta. We agree. The night we were there they had karaoke. We stayed. Had a blast. British bartender is a bit crazy; we'll go back for a pint any time just to see him again.

I love Opera Nightclub. It is THE most upscale club in Georgia. It is the super club that I've experienced and they really hold true to their word. They have 3 different areas of diverse music. What I really love is the VIP service. I've sat next to some celebrities at this place and Opera really caters to everyone's needs.

This live music bar is a great addition to East Cobb. Not much in this area, but this bar brings in local classic rock bands every Friday and Saturday night and has a great selection of beer on tap. It is attached to a full menu French/American restaurant, so the food is great.
