They turned off the music and the lights while we were in the place. The only time they approached us was to tell us that they turned off the lights intentionally, we had to ask if that meant the were closed, which they said yes. So, beware of coming around 11PM. If the business thinks they are having a slow night, they will close early and you'll still pay the full price. Tribeca next door is a much experience and they'll treat you with respect.

I have been here a few times since they have been opened. I mostly come on Fridays when the band,…read moreATL DreamVision, is here. They are a pretty good band and showcase their talents all across the town. When the band is not here there is a Old School night going on. The music is Old School R&B and the drinks are pretty cheap. They are good when there is a good bartender. The lady bartender sucks!!! I don't even know why they even hired her or pay her because she didn't even know how to make a Shirley Temple, and that's a pretty basic drink!!! The bathrooms are really nice here too. I like that they have a door to each stall in the bathroom for added privacy. This club hasn't been opened but for a few months so they are still trying to gain a crowd. Before this club there was another club here and there was a fatal altercation which forced them to close and this business came to be. I enjoy myself when I come here so I can see myself coming more often.

First let me start by saying I hardly ever go out to nightclubs or bars but it was my friend's…read morebirthday so I decided to venture out on a Saturday night. My friends picked this spot and I agreed to meet them their. When I arrived it was about 6 people ahead of me and because they do a thorough pat down on people, I was outside in the cold longer than I wanted to be but I do appreciate them for checking everyone before allowing people to enter the establishment. Once I get passed the pat down process I go to pay to get in which was $15. I was a little surprised because the person in front of me only paid $10. I assume the person working to door gets to pick and choose how much to charge people. I walked inside and immediately a photographer asks to take my picture. I was cute so I said yes without hesitation. The bar isn't all that big and to the right they have about 4 VIP sections set up. There are a few tables to the left for sitting and a spacious dance floor. There is also a section up front for smoking. The actual bar is all the way in the back and I made my way there to get my first drink of the night. There was four bartenders behind the bar and there wasn't that many people waiting but it took, in my opinion, way longer to get two drinks than necessary. The bartenders had no sense of urgency and wasn't friendly at all. The plus side side is that the drinks were two for one...and my friend and I definitely took advantage of that deal. Because of the length of time it took to get my first drink I didn't bother to get another one which is rare, considering I love a good drink. Towards the end of the night I decided to order some wings. I placed my order for five lemon pepper wings which came with fries. My total was about $7 which is like $1 per wing, yikes. I didn't get to eat them until I got home and well...I was very disappointed. The wings were salty and under cooked. I'll definitely give their kitchen another try on maybe a slower night. The DJ played a mix of music and had everyone dancing...which is of course his ultimate goal. He ended the night with a little old school music that got the crowd even more hype. Overall I had a pretty good time at Flame and would consider going there again.

If I could give negative stars, I would. I've never encountered this level of racism and I have lived in the Deep South my entire life. I've watched people be denied entry to this place for having a baseball cap on backwards. The (white) manager went so far as to tell me "if I let you in like that, I have to let in all the black guys too." Meanwhile, girls of all colors have been beaten and robbed here. I once picked up a girl who has been pushed down and robbed of her wallet- security was completely ignoring her even though she was face down on the pavement. I guess they have enough security to discriminate against black people but not enough to protect women from predators. And this place is supposedly owned by police officers. I'm disgusted and will never give them my money again. It's 2020. DO BETTER. Update- another person killed right by this club. This place is beyond toxic. read more

This place is not worth your time , guys are 10$ to get in while ladies are free , drinks are insanely expensive , their owner picks and chooses on whom to enforce their supposed dress code on . They have trashy people walking around pants sagging and tshirts on while another man walks in button up pants pulled up and hat backwards and gets kicked out for his hat backwards. Also they have terrible customer service . And random guys in there with masks on .. all I can say is just stick to what we know and keep going to SOLÈ. read more

This place is disgustingly racist af. They need to get their professional together. And the security seem to let underage teens in there I noticed it. The security throw my mom on the grown and my split my luh brother mouth open for no reason. This place definitely the Ops which they the cops. I'm gonna sue them no matter this was uncalled for. read more

It's on Broad Street! And it's near Stillwater Taproom, Nacho Mama's, and now The Book Tavern. Was it the appearance from the outside? Of course not. It looks so cool in the front windows and I knew there was a billiards table in the back. I also knew the history of (circa 1995), but somehow my feet and love for all things bourbon and rye did not draw me across the threshold. Until that fateful afternoon. Thankfully I have a mentor who spoke of its greatness (and his nostalgic connection from years gone by) and knew he must right the wrong that was my lack of patronage. We met up during Happy Hour and within moments I had entered a new world. Movie posters (authentic, not cheap replicas) everywhere. Art from front to back. The bar was lit up and one of the televisions had Mortal Kombat (the game) setup. We walked the length of the place, which will surprise you the first time you venture inside), and I learned more in depth the history of this bar. As if the assorted seating, plethora of drink choices, and the presence of an actual dance floor wasn't enough we went out the back door. There I learned about the "smoking section" that holds about 30 folks. Tables, umbrellas, and benches all await. But honestly it looks like the cool kids table I remember from school. I'm told the place can get packed when a DJ is onsite or a popular band. After a couple of drinks and good conversation, he asked me what my thoughts were on the place. I explained it like this; this is the kind of bar you go to regularly or not at all. Like, I don't see a bunch of new people wandering in every night. Just the usual crowd. And downtowns need more bars like that. Just as a coffee shop has a unique vibe from the others, so do bars. And all reach a certain demographic. So the more we have, the more people come which is just plain out good for the local economy. I'll also add that the bartender seemed to be having fun. I only mention it because some bartenders are never having a good day. Just saying.
