Wait, how have I driven past this place several times and not knew it existed? We came here in…read morecelebration of me getting licensed for work, and I was surprised when I was told we were going to see a show at a place i'd never knew existed! We came for a spoken word event called "Identity", a production of the Story Collider, which cost only $10/adult. This event had 5 scientists get on stage and provide stories of their lives and how science played a part in their self discovery. The Highland Inn Ballroom was an excellent choice for this event. Intimate feel, but enough seats to seat a full room of folks. Small stage, but again, increased intimate feel, adjacent full bar that was active and serving customers throughout the night., and lots of lovely interior to stroll through and photograph. About the only thing I could complain about was that at times the AC didn't appear to be working as well as it could, and it was very warm. Even the warm temperature was addressed Parking for the Highland Inn...I laughed when I saw the lot, because it's "THAT" lot that enforces parking if you're trying to slip in for lunch at a nearby restaurant, including Sweet Auburn BBQ, which is next door. That definitely burns you when you're hungry, but you smile when you're going to the inn, since that parking is yours! From N. Highland Ave, the lot goes down sharply since the lot is on a downward slope, but there is an exit at the bottom of the hill that exits out to Blue Ridge ave. Nice! Staff were friendly, the lounge was good for the event, and this hidden in plain site place is worth checking out.

It's hard to believe I've lived in Atlanta for almost 20 years and just made my first visit to the…read moreHighland Inn Ballroom Lounge. I didn't know what I'd been missing. Attending a book reading and signing event - George Saunders, writer extraordinaire, reading from his latest, "Tenth of December" - might be a different experience than the norm, but I thoroughly enjoyed the funky cool vibe of the space. Plenty of room for 150 people or so to mix and mingle, and the wait for the bar was never long. With a $6 special for well drinks, I was a happy girl. Keep an eye out for future book readings here, usually in partnership with A Cappella Books. For an author you like, it's definitely worth the time and expense. The staff is welcoming and friendly, and will happily call a cab for you at the end of the evening.

I was assured that the situation would be addressed as I think the establishment is great but would hate for someone to not have a great experience when renting the space.

My husband and friends were well accommodated at another establishment owned by Electric Hospitality and it was a better experience!

The price of parking varied from the two times: first $15 then $20. There is parking around the corner at the end of the block. The first time the menu had peach cobbler and Brussel sprouts on it. The second time was only wings and pizza. The waitress told us the chefs change and so does the menu. The 3 $12 honey hot wings were very good. The drinks tasted good and were not too heavy on alcohol. Word to the wise, all these purchases have a built in 20% gratuity. The organizer, Maurice, was friendly and worked the room. Eventbrite tells you entry is free to the first 20 entrants: I recommend paying $40 for a booth or $25 for a table up front. So scroll down and examine all your options. At the end, an after party was announced. We went home.

The house is huge and well decorated, with a perfect blend of modern amenities and more vintage decorations.  I had an intimate wedding ceremony and a small reception at the Howard House and it couldn't have been more perfect. My partner and I stayed in the house with our closest friends for the whole weekend and the accommodations were awesome. Everything we could have ever wanted was there, and Katie was super helpful in providing ideas and suggestions on how to best utilize the space for our reception. Our guests were all so impressed with the house and happy to be there! It really was everything I could have dreamed of. I can only hope that we have another excuse to stay in the house again soon, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone who may be interested!

After the very first viewing, we were sold (husband was as long as I was!). Based on what we wanted to do - travel themed party - it was perfect for my ideas. Katie and Andre were so hospitable from the start with the most thorough and detailed tour. They took their time and we never felt like a bother. Katie was gracious enough to also give my planner and parents a tour on different days. The house is something special with lots of space, a beautiful wrap-around porch, and a huge backyard. Given that we weren't sure how the weather would be, we used the indoors and outdoors. Ceremony out front and the party from front to back. Using the backyard enclosed patio as our homage to Cuba with cigar rollers. Our favorite space was probably the balcony compete with a swing that is off of the master bathroom upstairs. The rooms! That's what makes The Howard House stand out from most generic venues around the city. You can rent for the weekend for damn near the same price points others quote for a small time block. It's worth it. Fridays can be used for rehearsals and welcome dinners, Saturdays for the main festivities, and Sundays for brunch if wanted. This made for some fantastic memories for us and our families/bridal party. You can also just rent for the day if that's your jam. I can't say enough about how wonderful Katie is to work with. So responsive, engaged, and helpful. All the time. You cannot go wrong with The Howard House as a venue if you're looking for unique, maybe non-traditional (like us), or low-key.
