The Northside Tavern. service with a smile

Some time ago I attended a show at the Northside Tavern. A friend of mine was playing a reunion show with The Urban Shake Dancers. The band was great, and the bar was a good venue to see a band. All was well until it was time to leave. i am a sober Alcoholic, and had been drinking coke all night, and thus had not spent very much money. I handed $20 to the barman (a somewhat dirty looking man) who had served me. I waited for my change, he handed me about $5 or so and said THANKS A LOT YOU CHEAP B***ARD. So, if you plan to go to the Northside Tavern be sure to drink yourself stupid. If like me you do not drink for some reason, say like you are driving, you will NOT be welcome.

Good music, good beer, good people.

Northside is definitely a venue/bar with a lot of character, alongside amazing music and good vibes. The people that go there have obviously been going there awhile and the environment, although strange at first, is heartwarming in it's own light. Everyone is very comfortable with themselves and no one is trying to play a part- just relax, enjoy a beer and some amazing music. Mudcat is definitely a band of my recommendation. Not to mention- the group of people there is extremely eclectic: white, black, brown, blue, old, young, new- everyone is just having a good time. I have more fun here than any fancy bar in Atlanta.

• Pros: Music, pool tables, good people, good place.

I walked in not knowing to see Taj Mahal. Incredible experience. Old blues club that always has a good show. Pool. You cant go wrong with a raw blues club if you like the music.

• Pros: Good music, security, old school, raw and dirty
• Cons: no food, out door area is lame
