Paper ad for New Year's Eve party stated "Party Starts at 5PM, doors open at 5PM", as did website. Bought 3 $50 tickets to ensure admittance to both downstairs and upstairs where Mel & Party Hats were playing. Arrived at 5PM only to find out that the bar where the band would be (upstairs) did not open until midnight due to Atlanta law regarding alcohol on Sundays, the band would not be starting until midnight (for the same reason), and the bar that WAS open (downstairs) was not serving any food at all. My suspicion is that it was advertised in this fashion (not exactly false, but somewhat misleading) purposefully as an ad that states "Band starts at midnight" would not be as attractive. To be fair, when we addressed this with the manager, she was very receptive and gave us the option of getting a refund on our admission (with the understanding that we would leave), as well as getting our last round of drinks comped. The place is very nice, the drinks are a little pricey ($20 a round for 1 beer, 1 premium bourbon, 1 well margerita), but the barstaff (and management) are very nice and I WOULD go back there again for a concert event.
