Tl;Dr Great hip-hop/Caribbean music. Good drinks. Great experience. Lots of dancers. Guys are polite. Didn't meet any creepers. Wear comfortable clothes if you like to dance, totally acceptable. Disgusting bathrooms. M U S I C Hip-hop. Caribbean. Upbeat. Fast paced. I didn't know most of the songs but they were enticing songs. I really enjoyed the music. DJ was great. Fantastic transitions. He didn't stay on one a song for too long. Very danceable music. (Not as many of those purely rap-and-no-bass-or-tune-in-background songs) D R I N K S / F O O D We ordered a few drinks.. ?7 of them i think. honestly don't remember how much it cost but I remember it wasnt too bad. I'm a relatively lightweight and I wished they were stronger. E X P E R I E N C E / A T M O S P H E R E We started our Saturday night clubbing at a different location then got here on a Monday 12:30AM. It was much better than the first club we went to; there were at least 60-70 people here. There are areas for you to sit along the side of the dance floor. A host comes around using the mic, talking to everybody, making conversation. He's very friendly. We came as a group of 4 girls for my good friend's bachelorette party. ***SINGLE LADIES: There were some very good looking guys that danced really well Ç vibed off of each other well. It was very entertaining to watch. They actually made me even want to go up and dance (but I didnt bc I'm a chicken). **The guys who tried dancing with us, were generally quite polite. 2 guys just came up behind me and started dancing. 2 guys tried by starting conversation first. 3 guys asked me if they could dance w me, instead of just shoving their body onto mine. When I declined verbally or via body language, they laughed and proceeded to dance to the side of our group or walked away. They weren't rude/didn't seem offended, which I appreciated. No pressure and I like that. I also like that they were approachable. At some clubs, guys just stare at you all night and don't approach you, or the guys are creepy and awkward when they do approach. The guys here were very gentle with me and polite. But if you like it rough, there are definitely guys here who practically were doing the deed with the girls, but with clothes on. Mostly black people here. Not as racially diverse if that matters to you. I saw a like two other Asians, a few Caucasians and two Mexicans there. Your whole being will smell of cigs/weed when you leave. Nobody acted out of control or crazy drunk, which is definitely a plus! Twerking contest happens Monday at 3AM. 5 girls were chosen and went up to the stage with the pole, and competed for the $200 prize. O U T F I T If you do a lot of twerking, dancing and "getting down" I'd def go with comfortable attire. If you want to just look cute and sit around, wear a dress and heels. Some women were wearing tracksuits with running shoes, while others (like us) were wearing dresses and heels. Just depends. I like to dance a little more so next time I'll probably just wear something more casual for comfort. B A T H R O O M S Females Disgusting. Dirty. ?5 stalls and 2 sinks. Toilet paper everywhere on the ground/toilet. Urine/feces on the ground/toilets. One of the stalls didn't have a lock on (doesn't matter that much since everyone was so cordial so no one was fighting for/hogging stalls). Not maintained well at all. Overall I will definitely be back (: read more

Myrick has the best! She is the server for me any day of the week. When you visit peacock make sure to ask for her

The club is like a prison metaphorically and literally. The room you pay in, is like the intake room. Once you go into this prison like gray shabby door, you cannot turn around because the door you came in doesn't have a handle..like a prison. Worst of all the bartenders literally STEAL from you. The bar tender told me that shits were $8/ shot. The my husband paid in cash $32 for 4 shots. And the bartender was like no it's $33. Snatched another dollar out of his hand. And I was like I thought you said the shot were $8. She was like I said $8.50 or $9. I'm like you didn't say that, she insisted she did and she did not! She lied. Plus 8.50x4 isn't $33 it's 34 and $9x4 is 36 not $33. So again she just lied, made it up so beware of that. You also cannot stand by the bar. The security literally came over to us and told us we were not allowed to congregate by the bar after buying our drinks. He ushered us into the dance floor. Mind you at this time, it is NOT crowded. Not many ppl were inside. No one was waiting in the bar. Young crowd. So....meh. It was interesting read more

No parking really unless you come early. Music can be good if you like reggae on certain nights. I hate that you can't stand at the bar it mad awkward. One night I went the DJ changed the song so fast you couldn't even enjoy the music. Place is okay overall. read more

This spot is lit!!!! The music was on point all night and the drinks were made perfectly. Ask for Kuddah when you arrive. She was our server for the night and she was very friendly, attentive, and professional. Shoutout to the staff. I give this spot 10/10 and will definitely be back again. read more

This is a pretty historical spot in Atlanta. It always pretty consistent. An authentic Caribbean vibe but not pretentious. They are mostly cash only so be sure to bring cash for entry. The bathrooms are definitely atrocious which is on par with most spots in Atlanta. I would still go back. read more

I came here on a Sunday night with friends from out of state. We all enjoyed ourselves. They played Caribbean/hip hop music. Jasmyn was a great server for us all night. We did not get a table but she came around and checked on us all night and made sure we had everything we needed. We also enjoyed the hookah. I had a nice time and would come back again. read more

The Royal Peacock - Dance Clubs Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

See all

Vibes in the club itself is straight. The jamaicans usually have a strong presence but most of the other caribbean islands are represented well. There are groups of guys who take the center of the dance floor hostage for their choreographed routines which can be either entertaining or really annoying. Ratio of man to woman usually decent. You can usually find a few women dancing, having a good time and not acting stush but there will be a lot of girls just wanting to dance with themselves or female friends. The drinks be pretty cheap. Henny and cran is about $9 dollars for a decent cup. Beers are $4-6 depending on the night. Strippers are there certain nights and there are booty shaking contests on sunday. pretty entertaining The bad is the area this is located in has high levels of crime. 8/10 times you will experience a car break in. Ive seen this happen numerous times. I bet money if you go to the parking lot right now during the day you will find broken car glass all over. Its been happening for years and the police either cant or wont do anything to stop it. Park at your own risk takes on a whole new meaning in this place. My advice would be to get there super early and park as close to the club as possible. Dont leave ur strap, wallet, jewelry or important documents in the car l. These n!gas cracking locked glove boxes and popping trunks too! read more

The food and drinks were very affordable and the whole staff was some friendly and on point..

I have been going here a very long time, like 10 years plus. However the DJS that are there now really need to step up their game, it's the same play list every time I go. And the sad part is that it's literally 3 of them, how are all of you playing the same exact list. It's so much new music out here, however no one will play it. This makes me never ever want to go back it's not the same like it was back in the day. read more

Good Vibes!! The drinks were great. When you go the ask for the bartender Coco! She was the best! First time there, will definitely be returning! read more

We randomly came here Saturday night and caught a cool little vibe. We had a great time!

We loved the experience; however, it is a bit smokey inside. It is a very secluded place to drink and have a good time, but it is not upscale by a long shot. read more

This is my second time going, the first was for Carnival weekend so it would have been unfair to write a review based on that weekend. So I went last night on a "regular" Saturday night and was unimpressed. We got there a little before 12:30am and the dance floor hardly had people on it. Everyone just seemed to be standing around on the outskirts of the dance floor like they were waiting for an invitation to jump in. I thought, this is not double-dutch people?!?! We decided to stay a few hours and see if people would start pouring in at a later time (maybe they knew something we didn't) and it never happened. The Dj played much more hip-hop than I expected for a Jamaican Club so that threw me for a while. So for a Saturday night, the party really never turned in to a party after all, and after a few hours we decided to move on to the next. Maybe Friday or Saturday night will be better. The dance floor is nicely lit with party lights flashing everywhere and it's spacious enough for you to get your groove on. They definitely do not have a space issue. Love, Love, Love the bathroom concierge service! She's really helpful, has lots of goodies for sale, so tip her well. And it does help that the bathroom is clean, smells good and the stalls are very private. And if you're not a smoker, don't like being around smoke, smelling like smoke - NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU! read more

Club is very nasty , both bathrooms are never cleaned, Royal peacock is supposed to be shut down due to violations but are still open & sneaking people upstairs to not get caught & is also sneaking/to sale alcohol upstairs! Most of the Servers & bartenders are rude & the Owner steals people money & has bad management skills! read more

I hadn't been here in years and it did not disappoint, The drinks were good and it had the old feel of people who really dance at a club! The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the DJ could have been a little better. Peacock to me is a place to hear old school reggae as well as the more current and popular music. I needed a little bit more of that when I want. I went on a Friday so I want to go back and see what it is like on a Saturday. read more

Street parking only! And not the best neighborhood to be in so come with a group! (We met a girl from Texas who came out alone so we added her to our group which rounded us right at 10) Drinks are light, bartenders are sweet but slow, and dj plays great music but talks wayyyy to much! Too many people stood against the walls. We were Florida girls out to party so we were the life of the party. read more

I've been going to royal peacock for 10 years now. The bathrooms has always been the worse experience. There is a young lady that's working them now who has changed the game in peacock. I watch her greet and assist every one who came in. She supplies all woman's needs free of charge. I felt at home in the restroom. Every time it's exceptionally clean. I hope they never get rid of Isha read more

The Royal Peacock - Dance Clubs Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

It's a Jamaican club ; they sell food ; the bar and dance floor was lit & they open till 3/4am.

I went to the Peacock on a Saturday night with my boyfriend. We got there around 11:00pm it wasn't too pack which was cool we got a hookah and some drinks and was listening to the reggae music. I been to the peacock years ago they didn't have hookahs then so I was excited when I saw that they do now. They had good drinks specials until 12am. At first I had a bob Marley it was $10 but then I got the special drinks which I choose the blue mutherfucker it was $5. The hookah was $30. So around 12am it start getting real pack and I must say I had fun. Everyone was dancing they had the spot light on some people doing there thing. I really enjoy this night. Drinks, hookah, dancing!!!! It was a great night and I needed this. I'm a mother of 3 so me and my boo rarely go out and I'm happy I choose the Peacock! read more

Lol dj horrible bathroom attendant smoking 100 cig Iol. Just not my crowd any more. No cigarettes allowed but any thing else is fine. Got very Smokey inside read more

Good drinks, quick bartenders. Spacious , doesn't feel over crowded. good carribean music all night

The workers Play to many games at the door... I won't be going back to this club... I like to go to professional establishments especially if I am downtown... I could of went somewhere on the south side at least they respect the customers!!!! read more

The Royal Peacock is among the top spots for reggae spots in Metro Atlanta. Free admission before 12 midnight. Free jerk chicken before 12 midnight. Clean bathrooms. A large dance floor. Best nights to go are Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Your best bet is to attend on weekends because the weekdays can be a hit or miss due to people working the next day. Otherwise this is the place to go for good music, good dancing, good drinks and good vibes. Disclaimer: this is an 18 and up place. If this is a problem then you know what to do. read more

Horrible experience. A woman, who had obviously been served too much to drink, collapsed and was roughly manhandled and thrown out by security. I was very worried about her because she was completely alone and no one seemed to know her, so i approached one of the security guards (a man about 5"9 with long dreads in a top knot )to ask if the woman was ok. He didn't even open his mouth to acknowledge me and rudely put his hand in my face, waving me off. To top things off, as we were leaving the rest of the security team hurled disrespectful remarks at us, basically kicking us out. I was nothing but polite, and have never felt so disrespected in my life. I will never be back. read more

I love this club. I'm caribbean it's like a little piece of home. They always have great drink specials and the bartenders aren't shy with the liquor which is a BIG plus!!!! The DJ is always on point. Great music and atmosphere. read more

5 stars just for the Historical Context. Are any amongst the current clientele aware of the kind of past associated with this place? http://sweetauburn.us/peacock.htm I've never been, but I'm fascinated. And judging by the handful of reviews, (tho nothing against the current owners) it's a shame it's not being properly honored. I'm just another guy speaking out of his backend, but it would be amazing to see the Peacock given a similar treatment a la The Green Mill in Chicago: http://www.yelp.com/biz/green-mill-chicago read more

Reasonable parking near the club. This is a true Reggae club. The music is very loud compared to other clubs. There is hookah smoking inside. If you like a lot of reggae music and that scene... go for it. I did not like it and I left after only 20 minutes. When we got outside there were roaches next to the building. This was on a Saturday night. read more

Found this on Yelp while looking for nightclubs in the Downtown Atlanta area. Was intrigued by the history facts stating some of the greats played here. My husband and I enjoyed the layed back vibe. read more

Lit on a Friday night got there right before 2am. Friday nights must be Caribbean night that's all they really played. Decent size club but it was extremely hot and humid. This was my 2nd time visiting. Will definitely return, the lines are fast. There is a lot of homeless people in the area. read more

My first vist i gave them 5 starts (year ago). Since then, i have been back and order 2 drinks and tipped in cash. I woke up the next morning to a $102.99 charge and of course none of the numbers work, so i have no one to discuss these charges with. Its hard to give anyone more then a star when a club/waitress steals from you. Hears my old review "Love the music, love the vibe, best carribian spot in Atlanta" read more

I just moved to GA about a week ago and was excited about going out to hear some reggae. A few months ago I came to Atlanta and had a great experience there. Every weekend I receive texts about what they have going on and now that I'm living here I thought to take advantage of one of the perks of being a subscriber. After driving from Douglasville and finding parking which in all took over an hour, the guy at the door was very rude and condescending to me. I showed him the text on my phone and he claimed that it had been forwarded. I was upset and in no mood to argue so my friend and I went to the bar next door and tried to make the best of our night. I felt like his actions were uncalled for and for that I refuse to support this business. I am going to figure out how to unsubscribe to the text messages and find another place to hear reggae. read more

Not a review, but a memory. I was a student at Emory U. in the early sixties. My friends and I would go to the Peacock on Saturday nights. Usually we were the only white people in the place, but we were treated like everyone else. We took our own bottle and once we even took some North Georgia moonshine. The entertainment was always great. Dinah Washington and Jerry Butler are a couple of names I remember. I will always remember the club bouncers carrying those long flashlight with 4 or 5 D-cell batteries in them. If you got out of line, they would shine them at you. If that didn't work, you just might catch one upside the head. Great memories. read more

The venue is set up like a basement which I love the low lights, huge dance floor and pool table. There are plenty of seats and always drink specials. Every night there is a way to get in free go to the site. The entire staff is friendly and entertaining.The best day is Sunday after 1 AM. Everyone pretty much have their liquor courage at that point.Its free all night text "FREESUNDAYS" to 545454. I've been on a Friday and Saturday and it's dead and the DJ talk too much. Sunday is hosted by V103 and it was the perfect mixture of different types of Caribbean music and hip hop. It was good vibes and the perfect amount of people.The men are respectful and ask for a dance first before they press their penis in your butt lol. The twerk off is more hilarious than skillful and it start around 2 AM. After they have two strippers perform on the pole. read more

If you live on campus (GSU) it's close but please DO NOT GO there. There's never anyone there. Lots of the "older" crowd but not for College students. I feel like they do a lot to promote but it's always dead in there. read more
