The New Loca Luna has arrived at 550 Amsterdam Avenue in Midtown!

The new spot still has the waterfalls, bamboo, palm trees, koi ponds, extended patio, private rooms and festive atmosphere

We also have added an upgraded sound and video system and tons of free parking. We are still the best Latin dining and entertainment venue in Atlanta, and look forward to welcoming all our old and new friends to the New Loca Luna!

Editorial Review for Loca Luna – by Florrie Burch

The Scene
Loca Luna works the tropical theme--and works it hard. Intense splashes of primary color meet the eye at every turn. The dilemma of a less-than-inspiring view of a parking lot is solved by painting idyllic seaside vistas into pretend windows. The expansive interior courtyard adds to the sense of escape from Midtown and makes a great spot for that large group get-together.

The Draw
The place borders on "get on the banana boat" silliness, but it's blessed with an infectiously festive atmosphere and killer grooves courtesy of the house samba band. When the place is packed and the rum is flowing, you might think, just for a minute, that you're in Ipanema. Lula frita, bife com banana, brochette de galinha: You don't have to know what they are--these tasty Brazilian dishes are reason enough to venture to Loca Luna. It's a tapas restaurant, so order several and share.

What a great club to go out dancing. Only problem is, they keep all the doors shut and there's NO AIR in that place. As crowded as it is, that's ridiculous and I think it's going to cause them to lose a lot of business. Other than that, it's a very fun club!

Loca Luna has a large facility including a long bar side, mobile tables and slim chairs indoors and outdoors that can be put away or moved easily to accomodate more space. There is a dance floor area next to a live band stage; giving an overall pleasant of a so called latin tropical experience. As for the drinks I warn you about the cost and taste. I paid 8.50 for a horrible tasteless Long Island Ice Tea cocktail and some new friends bought a pitcher of Saint Gria for 25.00 that tasted like ice water with a tint of grapey winey fruits. My goodness I have trouble paying my gas, fix me a real drink!! If you enjoy the tastes of drinks with satisfication don't ask for one here, because you will be embarrased how this bartender mixes a drink. My advice is don't go if you want to get ripped by someone making a killing off tabs that has no right making an expensive cocktail.
