    I need to go back for the night vibes, but the brunch was ok. Our server was brand new so everything was a bit slow. The Caesar salad was not worth the amount it cost and all the other food was just alright.

    Backstage is always a vibe. I love it there on Wednesday they have the real good singers karaoke but if you can't sing your day is on Thursday. Food and drinks are always a hit and the staff is nice. If you like to line dance and hookah then this is the place for you. They are good for a nice line dance.

    We went for Sunday brunch to celebrate a birthday. Although they were empty we were embraced a by a friendly security guard, an awesome waitress named I think Brianna and DJ Hood. Our party of six ordered a variety of food off the brunch offerings including chicken and waffles, fish and grits, hash, wings and sliders. I enjoyed the fish and grits although I thought it came with two fish not 1. The chicken and waffles were basic strips, waffles and fruit but the highlights were the sliders and the hash. The sliders were tasty and the hash was delicious. I appreciate the champagne for the birthday girl and the overall service of the staff. Next time I'll make sure to get a pitcher of mimosa to set my brunch off right! As for the DJ loved the mix of old school and new school music. It was also cool to see the music videos stirring up memories of high school and college. I'll be back for Karaoke and Crab Legs.

    Good spot of you're looking to hang out with the locals. Large space could fit a lot of people , ample seating. I went on a Tuesday, they have a comedy show. $2 Tuesday night specials including nachos sliders tacos and wings. Drink specials and hookah. They have a lot of staff to accommodate you. Got my drinks fast. Really enjoyed it

    BACKSTAGE is a whole entire Vibe Nothing but GROWN, SEXY, SEASONED & MATURE Cat Daddy's & Sugar Momma's. Parking: Free it gets packed so parking gets tight. Some street parking is available, across the street is a lot & located across the street to the right is lot across where some guy charges $20.(i will never pay that) Prices: reasonably price Admission: FREE I went to BACKSTAGE on a Thursday when it was Karaoke night, which was so good. They also played a lot of line dancing music. The food is normally pretty good & the music is great 80's, 90's, 2000's you will definitely get your dance on. Backstage is a staple in College Park city of Atlanta off of Old National. If you are in town looking for something to do, I would recommend Backstage its not your average club. it's more loungey.

    The Backstage is a fun neighborhood club that's cool. Not too hood and not too bougie. Everyone is having a good time, DJ is playing so many things 90s, 2000s to present. The food is good, very diverse menu. Only drawback is that the servers are very sweet but way busy. For bottle service or hookah, it can take a long time and same with getting served at the bar or the table. Parking lot is free, but fills up fast. Definitely a fun time.

Stopped in for a drink or two, but stayed a little bit longer for the music and The vibes. I was there on a weekend night, and it was super chill and had a really good performance situation happening on stage. This one is a little bit weird because you have to do certain things to be able to get in. It's not like it's an escape room situation, but at the same time, it's a little active. Not overly active to where you would be taxed when you get there. But you have to go follow some instructions and once you get in it's all gravy! There's a lot of space for table so you can sit in front of the stage or you can sit in the back or the bar is which is also very pristinely kept. Or their ceas behind that. And there's even a bowl of alley somewhere in the cut. It is a really really good spot. The entertainment was on point. They were playing a lot of hits, lot of old school which I appreciate it. Loved it. The drinks were fired. The bartender had a lot of personality and it was super engaging. Just what you want from Superior customer service. I would 101% go back. It was a lot of fun and a really good vibe. We just happened to walk in off of humbug, but I actually might remember reservations next time. Actually sit in the crowd to enjoy the music. Loved it.

Upon arriving, we were asked if we knew the secret passcode. I didn't realize we needed to know a passcode, but the guy gave us some hints, and we eventually got it. We were instructed to go downstairs with a paper slip and "deposit" it into a deposit box downstairs. Upon doing this, we were granted access inside! It was pretty cool honestly! We sat at the bar upon arriving and ordered some drinks. They have a really nice drink menu with different cocktails and all the other liquors. They also have a full food menu too. Some people around us got food, and honestly, it looked really good! Our bartender Joey, was awesome! He was friendly and answered some of our questions about the drinks. He even made us espresso martini shots!! Hats off to Joey! The vibes inside are very prohibition-y. They had live music when we went, and I think they have live music most days during the week too. Roaring Social is located in downtown Decatur, so not too far of a walk from many other shops/bars/restaurants. We ubered, so I am not too familiar with parking, but I think there are parking garages nearby and street parking. I would definitely come back here in the future!

Depending on what kind of night you want, this could be a good starting point or a good ending. If you're in this part of the city, it's a good spot to hit up, but I'm usually not at this part of the city, so it was new to me. The parking lot is free, and they have a couple of the things in that shopping area, so you can actually go eat and then go do a show and then maybe go to the cigar bar as well, all while your parking for free. I actually didn't eat when I went, but I had wine. I guess that speaks for itself. The wine comes out of the bottle, and it's not like it's mixed as a cocktail, so it's either really good or really bad lol. The service was okay, but it felt like for a little bit they forgot about the table. At first it didn't seem like there was a lot of organization with the servers, because multiple servers came up asking if we had been helped. That was a thing. At least the servers were really nice, even though timeliness wasn't the best. Now I'm not saying that to rain on anybody's parade as far as servers go, because customer service is important, but there was a while where we were sitting there wondering what was happening. Every server that came and talked to us and the people who seated us were super nice and very friendly and very professional, though, so I need to state that. Could have been an off night, not a big deal, but I would go back because the service wasn't bad, but I wanted to note that and be honest. Now, the main event here was the entertainment. The entertainment was awesome. I have no complaints about that young lady who was singing; she was stellar. The band was an absolute vibe. They kept it rocking for the entire set. If you see the videos, you know what I'm talking about. They're going from Anita Baker to Patricia Russian to Chad. They hit a lot of notes that will make you nod your head and tap your feet. It was interactive, somewhat, and they had really good crowd control. It was an awesome show the last time that I went, and I would go back just for the show itself. Again, see the videos in my review, and you'll see that they tore the house down. Overall, if you want a decent spot that will give you great entertainment, this is a really good choice. They have a number of performers and artists and bands that play, so you have to check and see when they're going to be there, but at the same time, you should be happy at whatever show you make it to.

I highly suggest this if a popular group/singer/band is performing as the spaces fill up fast. Having tickets ahead of time expedited our entry.

I sat down at the bar at 9:04pm, and placed my order for the seafood gumbo, highly recommended by the hostess (who had the personality of a bumper sticker). I looked around the place. The live band was decent. Not terrible, but definitely not good enough for me to watch. Then I waited. And waited. Thankfully, I was able to doom scroll TikTok, because my food didn't arrive till 9:52pm- the place closes at 10pm! There were 4 customers at the bar (which seats 10), and one of the other patrons sitting near me clearly was annoyed that his take-out order was taking just as long. Do yourself a favor. Do NOT come here. The food itself tasted like microwaved leftovers, and was less than luke warm..... like my son's diaper 12 minutes after he pee'd in it. The bartender was nice, but even she apologized for the long wait. Yeah.... don't do it. Stay in your hotel with Lunchables and root beer.

I brought in some fans when the air was out a couple of days ago. Let me preface by saying that I did this to help my friends. I didn't want anyone to have to work in ridiculous heat. I brought two small fans and one large. I got my two small fans yesterday, no problem at all. I came in tonight and Yanna (who I have always been cool and amicable with, for quite a while), acted like my last fan wasn't available and it was somehow stolen, though I had seen it hanging over the staircase the night before. It would simply be ok with me to get my property back. It's shameful that any of this turned out the way it did. I'm literally one of the quietest and nicest people that anyone ever deals with. I did not have any kind of negative interaction, but was treated as if I was being a nuisance and causing a problem. I am always kind and calm, I never have any issue with any server or bartender. It really disappoints me because I've always been a kind guest, and have always been treated well. But I think my time with Chairs is now done. It sucks, because all of my interactions with everyone leading to this moment has been really great. Jess, Cay, Ike, Nigel, Major, Kelly. Everyone until one stupid night with one stupid fan. I was not at all forceful, just inquisitive. I really feel like Yanna didn't have an answer for a very soft question and instead of looking into it, turned me into a villain, using Jess as a stopgap in order to avoid dealing with a very simple situation that could have just been dealt with by either giving my fan back, or the owner spending fifty bucks on a fan of the same caliber and writing it off as a business expense. This is all very sad. I enjoyed being at chairs. I'm done.
