Eddie's Attic

If you are truly seeking the "music experience" there is no doubt this is your place. The place is very intimate and has featured major acts and songwriters through the years.

Variety Playhouse
1099 Euclid Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307
(404) 524-7354
Variety Playhouse is a bit of a hybrid: theater/night-club/live-music venue and it's located right in Little Five Points. The crowd and the shows are all over the map so we definitely recommend checking out their site before just waltzing in. Some people would classify this part of town as "eclectic" , "artsy", or just plain "hippy". Hours of Operation: Box office: Mon-Fri 12pm-6pm and 1 hour before show
Northside Tavern
1058 Howell Mill Rd NW Atlanta, GA 30318
(404) 874-8745
Live music (mainly Blues), pool tables, cold-beer, and a laid back crowd makes this place a lock for one of the best dive bars in town. It's over 40 years old so the walls have a few stories to tell. Hours of Operation: Mon-Sat: 11:30AM - 2:30AM Sun: 12:30PM - 12:00AM
Ten High Club
816 N. Highland Ave. Atlanta, GA 30306
(404) 873-3607
This is a popular live music bar situated in Virginia Higlands in the basement of Dark Horse Tavern. It is very small and very loud as most live music dive bars are. On Monday's they have some sort of karaoke event if you want to truly embarrass yourself. You can always walk upstairs to Dark Horse if you need a break or a new scene. Hours of Operation: Daily 11pm-3am
Andrews Upstairs
56 East Andrews Drive Suite #10 Atlanta, GA 30305
404-869-1132
Andrews Upstairs is great if you can't decide between the hot upscale bar scene and live music. You will see lots of good-looking people go back and forth between East Andrews and Andrews Upstairs getting a good mix of entertainment. You can find everything from live regional and national bands as well as DJs and comedians. There is a cover but it’s totally worth it!
