Editorial Review for 10 High Club – by Talia Houminer
The Scene
Wild yellow-zebra-patterned borders line the walls at this renovated Virginia-Highland nightspot. (It's below Dark Horse Tavern, and used to share the same name.) With a 250-person capacity, 10 High isn't competition for some of the larger venues in town, but its proximity to popular neighborhood bars ensures that drunks will stumble in for tunes. Framed record covers of Elvis Costello and "The Producers," along with a brightly painted interior, are some of the major noticeable changes. The fully stocked, neon purple bar remains the same, along with the smoky atmosphere.
The Draw
If you're there for acoustic or hard rock, expect to see the same throng that frequents the cozy, hard-pouring Highland bars. Rockabilly acts attract the pompadoured hipsters on leave from Star Bar, while DJ Gato brings out the cats who love to boogie.

I recently discovered the 10High because a review here about the Metalsome events. Metalsome is karaoke with a live band. I have done karaoke before, but never like this. I don't think I will ever do jukebox karaoke again after going to the 10high. The cover was $5 like review here said (thanks for the "rock til you drop" review, because I was one of the first 50 there and was also able to sing in the first set for free). I can definately see myself becoming a 10 High regular. Also the bartendars are really cool. They sever 12oz PBR for $3.75 (I think, I had so many I can only figure it out by how much money I was able to bring home). They have a big show featuring Atlanta's hottest local bands October 18th. The club went so far out there for these bands that they made a commercial to promote the event and bands. Its called the Rockstar Panty Raid and it features: Steadlur, Program The Dead, The Warm Gunns and Rockets to Ruin. I am pretty new to Atlanta and think I have found a place I can call home!
Pros: Live Band Karaoke, Affordable Drinks that get the job done
Cons: The bar closes at 2am, 3 am would be great

I have never seen anything like this. A band that plays songs and lets you be the rockstar! It is completely understandable that there is a cover and that the band accepts tips to let you sing. We're not talking about a $400 karaoke machine here people.....this is 4 musicians who play for about 5 hours.....One of their gutiars probably costs as much as your standard karaoke machine. They also have a video camera that films you, and they will sell you a DVD of your preformance if you want to buy it. That is pretty cool. I e-mailed mine to my family and told them that I quit my job to become a rock star. Check this out as there is simply nothing else like it in the world of karaoke
Pros: Great fun, great drink pricing
Cons: maybe not for you if you are clostrophobic
