Editorial Review for Underground Atlanta – by Mike DiPrima and Erin Behan
The Overview
As the site of Atlanta's original downtown, the terminus of its first railroad, the fieriest of its Civil War flames, and the heart of its Victorian recovery, Underground Atlanta has the potential to be a premier historic site, but few tangible reminders of its history are left. The novelty of walking underground on old city streets is its best feature. Underground is also a good place to get your city bearings. The Atlanta Convention and Visitor's Bureau is located here, along with a half-price ticket booth. World of Coca-Cola, the Georgia state capitol, Turner Field, CNN Center, Philips Arena and Centennial Olympic Park are also short walks away.
The Experience
The street-level vendors create a festive feel with their city memorabilia offerings, and often special events will take over the mall's pleasant outdoor areas. At night, the bars and restaurants at Kenny's Alley stay open until the wee hours.

Insider Tips
When to GoTaking advantage of a loophole that allows establishments that serve alcohol to stay open until 4am, a host of new nightlife venues at Underground Atlanta stay open later than most in the city.
Parking for the DomeIf you're headed to a Falcons game, park at Underground for $3 and take a free shuttle to the Dome. (Most lots near the Dome are at least $10.)
Save MoneyAtlanTIX, Atlanta's only half-price ticket booth offers tickets for same day shows only. It's located on the upper level of Underground.

I went, I saw, and I'm thankful I lived to get home! Underground Atlanta is a HORRIBLE place. I went and took my 16 yr old daughter. Major mistake! The lewd comments made toward my daughter by the trash hanging around there and the thugs hanging around is enough to keep me from EVER going back and will recommend against it to all my friends!

After hearing great things about the Underground, I decided to pay a Friday night visit. I was NOT impressed. First of all, it's in a sketchy area. Second, there is nothing to do after the stores close. The "clubs" if you want to call them that, were not open, and the bars that were, were dirty, dark, and dingy. Not appealing. After walking around on the upper part of the Underground, I realized that the only people on the street were police officers and bums begging for money. A robbery had just occurred right in that area. I did not feel safe AT ALL, and I will never go back. Not a place to go if you are looking for someplace clean and fun.
Pros: None
Cons: Smelly, dirty, and unsafe.
