This is a great concert venue for local artists or anyone looking for a more intimate setting. Upon arrival, there are two parking options, both with plenty of space. IDs are checked at the door for those planning to drink inside. The venue is standing room only, but as long as you're tall enough, there really isn't a bad spot. There are several bars throughout, as well as a small eatery to the right of the stage with lite bites and tables, plus screens so you can still catch the performance. I've been to two shows here so far and definitely look forward to many more! read more

Great venue. Didn't have to wait in line to get in. Sounded awesome as well. Would come again.

Love this venue and the staff it's always a great vibe . Parking isn't difficult or too far which I love about this venue . I saw one of my favorite bands for the first time Maribou State and it exceeded my expectations. Wonderful experience. read more

I absolutely loved this venue!! Wow. I was a bit nervous to go here for a concert, thinking that the size and overall vibe wouldn't fit the event, but I was pleasantly surprised. I had an amazing time. The staff here were great. Everyone was so helpful and friendly, and extremely organized which I truly appreciated for this being a concert. I loved that there is a restaurant in the back where I was able to order food before the show. And the food was actually really good! I got the quesadilla and churro bites - both delicious. Drinks were great, bathrooms were spotless (which is unheard of in these types of venues) and overall made for such a great evening. Would definitely recommend this venue and look forward to attending again for another event! read more

One of the best concert venues I've been to. Was absolutely shocked at how spotless it is inside. Very cute, trendy set up and decor. There is a bar and restaurant inside as well. We didn't try any of the food, but it looked and smelled good. The venue is very small, so there's no bad spot in the place. Parking is a bit interesting as it's divided into several different very small lots in the same area, but easy enough to figure out given a few minutes. We've already bought tickets to a future show here based on the positive experience we had, and looking forward to going back! read more

I absolutely LOVE this venue! we have gone to many concerts as adults here. and they have food which is a big plus.. but the kids concerts are the best!!!! we went the kids of Grateful Dead and Phish! it's music for the adults and games for the kids! I can't rave more about it! read more

This is a great music venue. The staff were so lovely and helpful tonight, especially when the ticket app denied us our tickets. However, please fix the parking situation. If we paid on the way in, we wouldn't be all backed up trying to leave. And, the machines have issues. Boo! read more

Marc Scibilia concert was awesome! His stories, his talent and energy. The vibes! Loved it all!

Saw Marc Scibilia here last night. Fantastic venue (some seating for us old folks would be nice) and a multitalented lyricist and musician. Marc Scibilia is a modern day bard. His opening act, Cassandra Coleman, was amazing. I think we'll be hearing a lot more from both of these artists! read more

I went to this venue for the first time for the Raveena concert, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well it is run and how simple it was to get inside. I'm used to pretty long lines at concerts, but there wasn't one because the staff moved swiftly! I also love that there is a parking garage onsite. The garage costs $10, and you must pay with a card, but that is great compared to parking around other venues. I am looking forward to attending more shows here. read more

Terminal West - Raveena - Music Venues Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Day time review from the words of an 11 year old attending Rock&Roll Playhouse "Grateful Dead for Kids": "Wow! I am at a club...with my friends!" "Is this what a real Grateful Dead show was like? You know with parachutes and fun things for the kids to play with?" "The bartender just made me a real cherry coke with the cherry syrup in it!" "I feel so important being up high here on the balcony!" "I know these lyrics!" "Let's dance!" Thank you TW for allowing my child to hear live music and think that your clean venue during the day was like a GD show These shows are a lot of fun and are really more for the parents to get out and hear songs they love. Thank goodness the bartender who served my Child cherry coke also served me a real drink because being in a club in the daytime with lots of little little kids, I needed it. Lots of fun!! read more

[TL;DR] Amazing, cozy venue with a sound system that will rupture your eardrums. Imagine taking a place like the 40 Watt out of Athens and dropping it in Atlanta. 600 tickets. I think that's the maximum number of tickets sold for a concert at this place. The place is one of the smaller concert spots I've been to but doesn't feel too compact. There are a number of bars, including one outdoors on the upper smoking deck. It's about the only place you can watch a concert and eat avocado fries. Speaking of, the upper deck leads to a balcony. It's quite... limited. The best view is from against the rail since you have to look down to the stage. Of course, it'll only fit about 10-15 people across... depending on the people of course. There aren't any places to sit so make sure if you're going to come out looking cute that you bring a pair of comfortable shoes. read more

I haven't been to a music venue this nice in a very long time. Make sure to enter this location into google maps. Don't use waze or it will take you to a different area. I made that mistake. Terminal West is located at King Plow, so look for King Plow signs. You do have to pay for parking. Terminal West is located to the left. When you walk in, you see the stage area and two bars on each side. the other room has tables and chairs for you to hang out. There even a tv of the stage in that room, which I think is GREAT for those who need a break but don't want to miss anything I came here for a work wrap party. They had drinks and appetizers, which were very good. They do give free water on the side of the bar as well. The bartenders were very friendly. Most music venues I go to are old and really dirty, but Terminal West is the complete opposite. Even the bathrooms are nice with plenty of stalls for the ladies. YAY! The band that was going to be performing that night was nice enough to perform for our party for an hour. The sound system is great and they were a great fun group to watch and dance to. I'd definitely come back here to check out to check out a regular show on the weekend. read more

Food incredible. Bone marrow soup off the charts. Even tea served with aplomb. This is a must try.

This a medium sized concert and event venue. There are two levels and a small outside lounge area upstairs. There is a surface lot and garage parking. There are also offices in the attached building. read more

Prologue: J and I went to a concert here a couple of days ago. Initially I thought Terminal West was a cousin of Terminal 5 in NYC (another music venue) but it looks like they aren't relatives. Plus Stuff: +Parking was pretty inexpensive ($5), and a friendly attendant guided us to lot B. The stroll to the venue was only about a minute or two. The website FAQ tells me that there is free parking in "Lot 9" further away if you want to increase your step count. +I expected to be sweaty so I didn't bring my jacket. To my surprise, it was almost cold in Terminal West. Easily removable layers might be smart during the chillier months, and also take into account the type of music you'll be listening to (dancey? more chill?). +The space has a very modern cool vibe. +The merchandise table was located in Stationside, the restaurant attached to Terminal West. The Ticketfly ticket printout had a 10% off coupon for your meal. Although we didn't have dinner here, it's nice to have that option. +Speaking of tickets, the ticket provider is Ticketfly, not Ticketbastard. I wasn't the one who actually purchased the tickets, but I'm sure Tickefly is a zillion times better. +I went to put a poster in the car, and the door guy kindly let me back in though it seems like technically there's no re-admittance. +The space is cozy for a music venue. J and I walked in and wondered "Is this it?" Massive and impersonal can't be used to describe this venue. +If you drink beer, Terminal West has a huge selection of craft beers in cars. There are two bars in the main area, and then you could get drinks in Stationside, +There is complimentary self-serve water on the bar, hooray! +The bathrooms were not dirty, and I didn't have to wait in line to snag a stall. +Fun fact from the website: apparently Terminal West was a former "100 year old iron and steel foundry originally used to manufacture plows as a part of the King Plow Company." Minus Stuff: -We wished there was more seating available. Our joints aren't always up to the task of standing for hours, and comfy shoes and NSAIDs can only do so much to combat a concrete floor. There were maybe two seats at the bar I was at and a couple upstairs on the minuscule balcony but those were already occupied. -The sound was extremely loud for one of the opening bands. Earplugs were quite handy to have. It was also strange since the sound wasn't deafening for the subsequent acts. So your volume may vary. -I smelled cigarette smoke here and there from my spot by the bar. I guess where I was faced the exit to the smoking patio. Luckily the smoking died down as the show went on. -This has nothing to do with Terminal West, but why are people always going back and forth during a performance? I hate when people walk by you constantly. Don't you just want to focus on the performance and absorbing the music being made for you? I could go on with general gripes about concerts in general, but I'll refrain. Epilogue: J and I had an excellent experience, and I'd come back for another show. Be like me and sign up for Terminal West's e-mail list! read more

Terminal West - Entrance to restaurant Stationside and an Edison light bulb - Music Venues Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I have to say this may be my new favorite venue in ATL. I came here a few weeks ago to see Grace Vanderwaal. The parking was easy and only $5. Lots of people were waiting outside the door to be the first in line when we arrived about 45 minutes prior to doors opening. I didn't really find it necessary, as once you are inside there is not a bad spot. There are two bars on either side in the back, and also a restaurant and another bar that opens during the concert. Getting out was also easy. Tickets were only $25, reasonably priced; however, the show sold out quickly and then people were reselling their tickets for $200. So, if you want to see a show, make sure you buy your tickets in advance so you don't have to buy crazy priced tickets later! read more

Such a great venue for a small concert! Love this place! Super quirky looking from the outside and is super clean and open on the inside. Staff are very nice and quick to serve food and drink. read more

one of my fav places to hear music but for GOD'S SAKE fix yalls parking.... comsider your competition like Eastern or Variety... your parking lot will make me rethink yall.... or damn put a shakedown in there since it takes ... seriously... 40 minutes is not a good look.... bands will listen to their fans... look at Lakewood.....the bands are pretty lame compared to Verizon.... take care of your peeps.... this is absurd. read more

What an awesome venue!! I was so glad to discover this place. The parking is easy, $10, and a short walk to the venue. The sound quality was great inside, and the big red curtains on the stage looked dramatic and beautiful. The bartender was friendly, and I believe there are two bars (one on each side), as well as a connected room where you can sit and eat. I can't wait to return for another show. read more

Terminal West has been creeping into my "Favorite Venues" list for a while now. Officially opening its doors in 2012 as Terminal West, these folks have been working with musical acts in this space even longer. Perks of why this venue is better than others? - Sound is great - high ceilings - better temperature regulation in large crowds, its still easy to stay cool - ability to repurpose the venue for events other than music - the great industrial vibe, but still with more space on the floor than many venues - no "I'm not tall enough to see" syndrome - the stage is high enough that you can see from a bit farther back (one of the reasons I get the most peeved at certain venues) - great bar selection - crows nest so if you really want to get there early enough to "sit" to enjoy without standing on the floor, you can. read more

Cool little venue to see a show. This was my first time at the place and had no complaints. Easy to grab drinks, hit the rest rooms and watch the show. Overall wasn't too crowded and the acoustics sounded great. read more

I think this may be my new favorite venue in Atlanta! I visited Terminal West for the first time for one of the Shaky Knees late-night shows. It's a fairly small venue compared to others in Atlanta, which I really liked. There's plenty of room to stand and an upper "observation deck" area in case you want to watch the show from a higher point of view. I really liked the industrial look of the place and the fact that there were plenty of bathrooms! There's nothing worse than standing in a never-ending bathroom line and hearing a band start playing your favorite song...not a problem here! There were two bars on either side of the venue, both of which had a fantastic selection of craft beer (also reasonably priced) and very friendly bartenders. The lines moved very quickly. They had posters all over the place with their upcoming concert schedule, which also looked really great. I'll definitely have to make the drive over again soon! My only qualm was that there seemed to be a ton of parking spots around the venue, but they were all reserved. I easily found street parking, but I can imagine that may not be as easy for other shows that don't start at midnight like ours did. read more

Parking - there's a Deck and a small lot. Hooray for deck! But you'll have to pay I believe. I'll take that any day over a bad parking situation Inside Terminal West; there are bars to purchase alcohol, a place to buy food, and a really cool area in the back to walk outside (upstairs). I was pretty surprised. I thought this place sucked lol. Clearly I'm wrong. The stage is small. So is the standing area but most who play here I feel like aren't massive famous people. I think. I dunno - I saw Of Montreal here because my bf is a fan. The downstairs near the stage was pretty packed but not like horribly. We were able to stand upstairs. Way more room and not as crowded. Overall - if any band I liked played here I wouldn't be discouraged. (Normal venues tend to turn me off/make me wish I stayed home). read more

When you leave a place needing a shower and wishing you were anywhere else than here...there is a problem. The venue was beautiful and when we arrived at 8pm we were able to explore. The main sound room can accomodate a large group of standing concert attenders. The room next door has tables, drinks, and amazing staff that serve the best seasoned tatertots! Around 9pm the first act played and we headed up the stairs and through the outdoor patio (ok for smokers), opened a door and we found the balcony to the concert. This was the perfect place to watch the entertainment without the pushing, cigarette burns, and had a great view. Unfortunately, around 10pm when more people arrived the place filled up with smoke. They stated smoking was only to be outside on the patio upstairs but no one enforced it. The worst part was it was like an indoor HashBash. Even with the patio door closed behind us the stage and crowd area started filling up with smoke. The light really accented the people smoking puffs inside ( and the very potent odor) so it would be easy to monitor and it is easy to see the glimmer of the roll being lit in the dark. Unfortunately there were no security, police, or crowd control once you enter the building and there were hundreds of people lighting up inside over those two hours. By midnight I was sick to my stomach and had to leave the others to their hash venue. If they clean up and enforce their smoking standards then I would love to go back to enjoy the music. I lived in Miami and experienced the nightlife there for years but this was horrible. read more

Disclaimer: I've only been to this venue once... I usually like to visit a location a few times before making a review, but this place is my exception. The parking was $5.00, and was organized going in, but could of been slightly better when leaving. The front door was organized and they had the equipment to scan tickets from a cell phone. Which was convenient for us. Upon entering was an also artist singing with a live band (wish I knew the name, because they were great). The bar staff were very accommodating, fast, & efficient. Seating is almost non existent, but the music kept us on our feet dancing all night. The offer slightly healthy food options. I totally enjoyed the chicken & avocado tacos. The main performer came on shortly after the initial bands performance (s/o to CeeLo Green for his professionalism)!!! I was mainly impressed by how well organized the event was and really enjoyed CeeLo's performance from beginning to the end!!! He was on by 9:30 and ended around midnight... Yaaaaasssss! I would recommend this location! read more

Terminal West - Music Venues Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Cool place to catch a concert. Came here with AT and our friend for a Little People concert in November of last year. Truthfully, I am not into electronic music but I wanted to tag along just because. Plus this place is in the Westside area and I was more excited about the places that we could walk to after parking super early (to avoid usual lot overflow problems that are associated with concerts and such events). So... Since it was November and the concert probably started at 9 p.m. or something, I didn't realize how cold it would be. We walked to Delia's Chicken Sausage Stand for dinner, since I hadn't eaten there before and saw my fellow Yelpers review it to great fanfare, and ended up making a pit stop at Octane Coffee before going back to Terminal West to get some liquid refreshment and a break from the cold. Once we got back to Terminal West, it was fast to get inside and even find seats at bar-height tables. AT and JC went to the bar to get some libations as I held down the fort at our section of the table. The music didn't take long to start and the volume was as you'd expect, which can be overly loud for me honestly. Yeah, AT can't take me to many concerts but when he does, I'm shoving in ETYMOTIC Musicians Earplugs. Dude, seriously, I actually enjoy listening to music and just hearing in general too much to f*ck up my ears. Anyway, there seems to be a smoking area for people though after awhile. it seemed nobody cared about even leaving the standing/sitting space to spoke their pot and whatnot. So maybe even more bothersome than the super loud sounds, which I can mitigate with my earplugs, is the free-for-all drug consumption. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at these kinds of things. So good concert venue, for sure, as everyone else says, but I'm just not a big concert-goer. read more

I often look for up and coming Neo-Soul, Electro-Pop, and experimental music here. The tickets are easy enough to buy, and then show on your phone. Recent acts including Polica, Tokimonsta and Jungle are examples of killer stuff that is big enough for a good show of 200-300 people, but not grand enough in scale for a larger venue like Tabernacle or Masquerade. I like to drink beer. This place has a great assortment of beers, at fairly reasonable prices for a live music concert hall. There are two bars downstairs in the main area, food and I think more bars in the side dining and sitting area. So, for sure no issues getting drinks. The best part of this place is the upstairs deck and patio. Very cool, al fresco area with a bar and the railrood tracks running parallel. It is really cool to see the train go right by at 1AM. A real fun space. Just off that is the upstairs balcony, it is a killer area which can maybe fit 30 people, and is where i prefer to look down at the show. Places like this lend more credence to Atlanta being a city, and growing into more of a centralized city as opposed to just the center of a group of suburbs. I will keep coming back, and look forward to more good times. They charge $5 for parking now, and I find that lame, but not lame enough to pop them down to 4 stars. read more

Great place overall but abysmal re: accessibility. Their website said to email them regarding it, so I did that several days before the show and never heard back. Day of, I submitted a contact form that never received a response and also called a total of 5 times throughout the day, with every time the phone going to voicemail. When we arrived, we were told that they point-blank cannot provide seating. Would've loved to have this information beforehand, or have the venue do anything whatsoever to accommodate disabled visitors. read more

Fun place to see a concert. People tend to crowd by entrance so just move through to the other side or find a spot (like the awesome deck along the railroad tracks) to hear the music and view on monitors. Expect to stand. Offers free water. Usually very reasonably priced compared to other places you may see the same acts. read more

I wanted to point out that Terminal West is the optimal space to see live music in Atlanta. The acoustics are amazing, the crowd can easily feel like part of the band's vibe, and the lighting is perfect. Masquerade doesn't even come close to the intimacy and elegance of this venue. Additionally, the staff is exceptionally well - trained in fine customer service. They are proud of their employer and go out of their way to be kind and patient. read more

I went to Terminal West on January 16th 2017 for the 6LACK concert. This was the first show of his first tour and needless to say, everyone was ecstatic. Upon arriving to the venue, there was an employee working traffic directing people to the free and paid lots. I parked in the free lot up the hill. Even though I was running late, there was still an ample amount of parking. The line was still long despite arriving late but the attendants did an excellent job of checking tickets and getting people inside the venue. This was my first time inside of Terminal West and I was pleasantly surprised on the size. There was more than enough room for everyone to enjoy the concert and for 6LACK's people to sell merchandise. All in all, Terminal West is easily one of my favorite indoor concert venues and I wish more Hip-Hop/Rap artists would have concerts there! read more

This is a beautiful venue; however, it is NOT smoke free. Many people were vaping, making it difficult to breathe. I reached out to the staff during the concert and was told there is really nothing they can do about it. If you need a smoke free venue, this is not the place for you. I'm giving one star b/c the website clearly states smoking is not allowed. read more

You will catch Covid if you come here, my sister did, and she is very careful. The staff was laughing about all the fake vax cards, I think one may have been handing them out to people that they know! So, they stand against freedom if they don't know you, yet your risk of catching Covid is still exceptionally high. Beware! read more

We have been to Terminal West many times for shows, and, through beer goggles, we have been impressed by their surprisingly tasty menu. This time, we visited on a Tuesday evening before a busy concert, and we were again pleasantly surprised by the outstanding food and affordable prices. We shared the incredible tempura avocado, served with a chili dipping sauce- it was as good as we remember, deliciously crispy enough to complement the perfectly ripe, yet firm, avocado (which is sometimes hard to find in Atlanta). She had the tofu taco, which is a stand-out for its citrusy, orangey flavor, and I had the the Greens and Quinoa salad, which was a pleasant kale salad with pepitas and quinoa which left me feeling satisfied yet good for the show. The food at this out-of-the-way concert venue is a pleasant surprise and good enough to budget an extra half-hour before a concert to sample between beers. Enjoy! read more

This is my favorite music venue in the city. It beautiful, has amazing sound, and amazing acts come through. Particularly, bands whose sound fits the venue like the Old 97's, American Aquarium, and Larkin Poe have come through and had amazing shows. They also have reasonably priced drinks and parking, and they have free ear plugs if you're so inclined. read more

I don't know what the staff/management does to make this such a stellar venue! Since moving to Atlanta last summer, I've been to a handful of shows here (Snakehips, Jai Wolf, Tchami, and Cashmere Cat) and each one has been a great experience. Although the venue is on the smaller side, I haven't had any problems with feeling extremely crowded - and this is coming from someone who is lowkey scared of crowded spaces l o l. Even then, you can easily shimmy your way to the back or to the upstairs deck to escape being covered by sweaty people. read more

This is my favorite place to go for a concert! The venue is a smaller one but the get a lot of great bands Don't worry about parking since there is plenty for the venue. I do recommend that you bring cash for parking and park in the cash lot. Getting in and out of the cash lot is much easier than the credit card lot. The venue isn't too big but they have every thing you need. They have a large beer selection at both their bars. Also, if you get hungry, Station Side Food ( witch is attached to the venue) is pretty good. The Station Side Food area is also where the merchandise for the bands are sold and a great place to sit down if you need to. read more

I love this venue. Terminal West is part of King Plow Arts Center and smartly they turned the tiny parking lot (that had a lot of reserved spaces) into a two tiered parking deck that does not seem to fill up even when there's a sold out show. Parking couldn't be too much easier, and pleasantly so since it used to be a slightly nightmare-ish. It's true, even when TW is full (sold out St Lucia and Joywave, most recently for me,) you are not crowded or mushed in there. There are like 4 bars, which is fairly amazing for a venue this size. Two are on the main floor, one inside the side room/food area and one upstairs out on the outside patio. The venue is beautiful and clean. The bathroom - in my experience - has never had a line.. and it is also pretty clean. The cocktails are strong and they have a large selection of beers. The view is great from almost any spot on the floor. Surprisingly, the balcony is not a great spot unless you're on the railing. That's probably the only negative thing I can think of. If you're down to see a show, look at the ones coming up at Terminal West.. you will likely enjoy it! read more
