The Scene
This subterranean nightclub has been the backbone of Atlanta's underground club scene since its debut in the basement of the Ponce de Leon Hotel in 1994. In 1997, it moved to its current spot in an old parking garage and changed its name to MJQ Concourse. The dark decor, with its glowing, centrally placed bar and cozy dance floor, makes for some of the best clubbing in Atlanta. In the side room, complete with a second bar and additional DJ booth, crimson walls are painted with friendly caricatures of imaginary MJQ patrons. Comfy couches dot the small room, giving it a more intimate feel than the basement-like main room.
The Draw
The diverse crowd and equally eclectic music lineup keep those who care about the music coming back. House, hip-hop, Brit-pop, drum and bass, reggae, downtempo and two-step garage all make regular appearances, as does the occasional art show.

Love this place! The best dj's, the best sound, greatest staff, the coolest, laid-back hippie mixed with hip-hop crowd in the A. Check your bling at the door - expect to get real sweaty and if it rains hard while ur there, expect ur shoes to be a mess when u leave. Also, it's cash only at the door and bar.

You usually hear the expression hole in the wall and think dive with seedy individuals. I entered and thats what i thought at first. It is litterally an old parking garage that has bee converted into a night club. It was dark, dank, rank and stank but it was some of the best hiphop DJing I have ever experienced. My wife is not a fan of hiphop so she had a terrible time but I loved it. I will definantly go back again but this time instead of a new outfit I will wear a hoodie and some shell toes.

The Extras:
Don't leave without scoring. Play the original Street Fighter and Tron arcade games, as well as the city's only stocked and updated PlayStation2.
When to Go:
MJQ gets bustling after 1am. It can get shoulder-to-shoulder, especially for Brit-Pop Wednesdays, Deep House Saturdays and the monthly No Static hip-hop parties.
Look Good:
If the line's lagging for the main restrooms, try the usually cleaner bathroom on the "cafe" side.
