    This was a cute lounge with good music and yummy food. I had a great time catching up with friends while I'm visiting the city for the first time. The servers were attentive and friendly. The only reason I took away a star is because I don't understand why the half naked bottle girls are necessary. Lol. It genuinely feels like a relaxed lounge, not so much a hype club. From the layout of the club to the hanging chairs, the servers' attire just felt out of place. Lol. But I'm learning this is a very Atlanta thing. Everywhere there's a hookah, you can see some @$$. Not knocking it, but it just didn't seem to fit the theme here, but could just be me.

    When I tell you I had the best fried red snapper I have ever had!!!! It was absolutely delicious! Drinks were amazing and I have to give it to the bartender, Coco, she was the best. The other two bartenders had a bit of an attitude but she was attentive, personable and had a great attitude. The hookah was meh... I think they need to service the coals much more often. We had to ask a few times to have the coals changed out. Other than that, great place!

    3 words- THE FRIED CATFISH!! I went here for brunch with a group of 6 friends and we had a great time, I do recommend making reservations ahead of time. Once seated we were told there was a max time that we could occupy our table. I believe it was 2 hours. However, I know for a fact we were there longer than that and we never once felt rushed. The DJ was great, our server was attentive- at times it could be slow but it was a very busy day so we understood. One of my friends ordered a hookah that she said was nice, and we all enjoyed our drinks. We also ordered the mimosa tower and it was great four our group size. But back to the main attraction, that catfish. It was fried to perfection! 10/10 for me. I'd go back for that alone.

    I really like this place. We came here twice once on Friday & again Sunday. We ended up leaving Friday b/c everything we wanted they were out of it. So we decided to come back on a Sunday before our flight. We waited about 45 mins for our food. Everything was good but the spinach was very salty. The catfish I highly recommend was cooked perfectly.

    This restaurant is large group friendly. We had a party of about 15 people during brunch service and we were quickly accommodated once everyone arrived. We did bottomless mimosas which came with three carafes of juice, orange, pineapple, and cranberry. The champagne was brought out in a large tower and was super cute. It took a while for the food to arrive but the mimosas kept us busy. My plate was decent but I chose a pretty simple dish. Others in my party were very satisfied with their food choice. Keep in mind that this place is a "lit brunch"'experience. It was perfect for celebrating my friend's birthday! Overall I enjoyed and will return.

    Randomly went here the other night and it was so turnt up lol. The drink prices are decent. $30 for 2 drinks but the gratuity is included and that's annoying but to be expected from Atlanta establishments. The place is super cute with swings that are super picture worthy and the service was good for it to have been as crowded as it was. I didn't try the food but it looked like typical wings and things to that nature. It was free for ladies and it didn't take long to get in. Parking sucks here tho so we paid for valet which was about $30. The music was good and the vibe was nice.

    Pay attention lol

    We really had a good time here. Good music & food! I love the swings around the bar & the waitresses were very attentive!

    Stopped into ATL for a quick moment with my friends because one of us is engaged to be married. So we made a RSVP for this place and decided to come. At first I thought it was gonna be a whole bunch of Twerking but I realize now it's more of a calmer vibe. Good music playing along with some decent quality food. Service was also pretty decent as well, everything that we requested was done and even tho my friends food came late at least it was still given. Saddest part is that I forgot to take a picture of my own food which was the lamb chops and that was delicious along with the potato's and scrambled eggs that assisted the meal. Good vibes and good fun. I would return.

    The fried food was a big no for me. Everything else was a vibe. Went on a Friday night with some friends. Space was very spacious, its known for it swings at the bar. Overall this was a good spot to meet people, watch a game, hookah and a great pour of drinks.

    Came in on Thursday. It was R&B/ladies night. We arrived around 10:30pm. Of course for ladies night, there was no cover for entry. We sat at the large bar where every seat is a swing (so cute). The bartender was very attentive. She suggested a tequila lemon drop with 1800, so we ordered two. Loved them & Would recommend. The music was good. Everyone was singing along, but no dancing. We stayed until close (about 12/1am) and it remained pretty empty and only ladies in attendance. The guys that were there were in dates. It's dimly lit and a good place for date drinks. They have valet parking, and street parking. Food is available, but we didn't order any. The girls nearby seemed to have enjoyed their food though.

    Not Boogalou's but the valet parking company Royal Parking. Very rude and unprofessional
    LaToya C.

    Boogaloo's was great. I have a problem with the valet service they use called Royal parking. My cousin met us there not even an hour later when I paid $20 they wanted to charge him $30 saying it's later and it's crowded in there and it wasn't at all. Do not patronize Royal Parking... PERIOD.....

    My first time visiting and I came on a Sunday for brunch. It was very crowded with no social distancing. This made me very anxious. No table was 6ft apart and just about every seat was taken at the bar. Luckily no one was seated next to my table. Brunch line was long and took forever to get food. Some of the options weren't available. Replenishment was super slow. There were 2 servers server the food. They had on masks and gloves. I was happy to see this. I thought the food was just ok. Not $50 worth. They had a DJ and the atmosphere was fun. It would've been great if it wasn't for covid. I wouldn't return for brunch. I may try them again during the week for cook to order food. If you want to practice social distancing, don't come here!

We sat down and were provided water and I asked for a purse holder and the waitress was able to locate one for me. We received our menus and if you're in to a French style menu, this is the place for you. I had the avocado tartine (toast), and others in my party had the eggs Benedict, the crepe; and pancakes. Two of us also ordered a mimosa. Because it was my aunts birthdays, they were given a small treat. It's quiet and very cute ambiance and lighting. They have tea time from 1-4pm which I will definitely be back for. ***I gave this place a 4 only because the menu was sort of limited from what I had known to be a buffet style brunch and I think, to me, I needed a little more seasoning.***

As you'd expect at the Four Seasons it's a very upscale ambiance and the staff is always very welcoming. The bar itself is large enough to hold a dozen or so seats and there is extensive table and banquette seating in the floor area. They have a selection of house cocktails and I've been happy with each one I've tried (my eye always moves to the bourbon/whiskey options on the menu). There is a limited food menu that is definitely way better than standard "bar food" though neither is it fine dining; it's perfect for a light meal. They do have music certain evenings so it can get quite busy then or on weekend nights. Prices are a little above what you can find nearby in Midtown but again this is a five star hotel; I think it's worthwhile for the occasional visit.

Fridays and Saturdays they have a DJ from 9-1 AM that plays all the best R&B, Hip Hop, House, Afrobeats and more. The bartenders - MJ, Dontrell and the team are on point. The cocktails are amazing, the menu is diverse and service is top tier. I met a new friend while at the bar and enjoyed watching the TSU v Alabama football game. Roll Tide! The Whiskey-Rita is a strong one but goes down smooth. For dinner I had the short rib. It's served with broccolini and kimchi. Amazing presentation and the flavors were so delicious. It was giving keto (no carbs) but the bbq sauce may have some sugars. The crowd is a mix of singles, couples, nationalities and ages. It was more Black mid-30s and up if I had to guess. There's plenty of space to find a spot inside or their outside patio. No cover charge but valet or self-parking in the garage. If you know the right people, it's free. "Wink" Try this on your next night out after Politan Row, Establishment or the IPIC Movie Theater around the corner.

I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

When she brought my fries, she realized that she never brought the fork, and still didn't bring it. I ordered yucca fries, but she brought regular fries. The mocktails were served in these foggy old cups. Even the customer next to me commented on her own cup and said it looked like someone had drank from it. They add 20% gratuity to ALL bills--I was by myself and it was still added. 5 Church is pretty good, but this place was not at all.
