Friday Vibes With Friends
Monica W.

I Had My First R&B Style Atlanta Lounge Experience With Live Music. My Sistah-Friend Had Been Telling To Come Visit @theoryloungeatl I'm Happy I Finally Did It's A Really Nice Mature Atmosphere & The Food Coming Out Looked Delish. The Service Was Friendly & Professional. I Had The Jambalaya Pasta Filled With Shrimp, Chicken, Smoked Beef Sausage, Onions Tomatoes & Mushrooms In A Spicy Creole Tomato Sauce Tossed With Red Wine & Penne Pasta, Topped With Fresh Mozzarella & Parmesan Cheese. Yum #atlantaloungesandbars #livemusic #exploreatl #theoryloungeatl #familyowned #wellran #friyayvibes #jambalayapasta

The steak was absolutely amazing. Ambiance was great. Love the live performance. Service was good.

Shrimp and Grits

Went here to celebrate my girlfriend birthday and thought the place was ok. They had 1 girl working the entire lounge. The music was good but the drinks were horrible. Really small cups filled with ice. I ordered the shrimps and grits and I didn't like it. To loose for grits.

Met some cool people

I am visiting Georgia, and one of my friends recommended this place. The lounge had an older crowd, like 50 and over. Which was great, because there was no drama. Everyone was there to have a good time. I sat at the bar & although the bartenders were pretty busy, the service was still good. I had the Hawaiin salmon, Collards & rice. Everything was flavorful & it was reasonably priced. For my people in Baltimore, this place reminds me of Sisters Place AKA Identity. So, If you don't feel like dealing with the rowdy young crowd then this is the place to go & the food is good too!

Visited September 2018 - I started this review and just didn't complete Theory Lounge was not what I expected it to be. My Sister was celebrating her Fabulous 50th Birthday with a weekend of events before she went to Jamaica, so like any good little sister I helped plan all of our outings. Friday night was Theory Lounge I'd never been here and she has visited a few times as this lounge is over 1hr drive from my house. Music- The live Band was really good but I cant recall the name. I remember the lead singer passed out roses. The Dj was also great he played line dance music, old school Kilo, 2 live crew I felt like it was 1997 freaknik in Greenbriar parking lot lol Staff- The Security was cool and even danced with us also walked our group to our cars.The Waitstaff was great also and the Cook he was a cutie (He brought our food out). Food/Drinks- The wings and calamari were great. The drinks were ok but could use a little more alcohol to taste. The lounge is sort of small and if your using your GPS you will pass right by it. It is located behind the quick trip and wendy's. It is trendy and clean and so was the Restrooms. I recommend it and I will definitely return.

The atmosphere is cool and laid-back perfect spot to hang out with friends. It's not overly crowded during the day, which made it even better for watching the game and enjoying the hookah. I didn't try the food since I had just eaten beforehand, but I'd definitely come back to check out the menu next time. Overall, a chill spot if you're looking for somewhere easygoing to spend a few hours.

I ordered the catfish with hushpuppies, and my friend ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and sautéed bell peppers. The food was okay. The mashed potatoes were tasty. That was the highlight of our meal. Now, the service was poor. Our server kept disappearing for long periods of time, and it was very frustrating. Most of the servers need a class on customer service and waiting tables, but I guess no one cares when you get your tip regardless of how you treat your customers. I feel like this place should have been packed on a Saturday night, but it wasn't. Sapphire has the potential to be great, but there is most definitely a lot of work to be done, starting with the staff and possibly advertise more.

There are so many better options for nightlife in Miami, I would recommend skipping this place…read more After family night a large group of us decided to check out miami lounge. They advertise free entry, free sections, all of which are not valid. Upon arriving we were charged a 20 cover. The overall price of the cover was reasonable in my opinion. The issue was that they had a flier advertising free entry and they did not honor it. The woman at the door explained that it was only free until 11 however the flier did not have any time limit. Once we entered the club was dead. The music was decent but was overshadowed by a blown speaker. I felt like I was in a Honda civic with an after market cd and sub install (iykyk). Because we were a large group we did get a section. The waitress was nice and attentive but was not overly informative. The club has a hard close of 2:30 even though their hours say they close at 3. At 2:30 the lights came on and they immediately started screaming for everyone to get out. The issue with this is the waitress continued letting us order food and water (bottled) up until "close". The food was brought out 10 minutes before they "closed" but that was not communicated. So at 2:30 when they are screaming for us to get out we still needed to get boxes as the food had JUST come. Also you can not leave with any open liquid. Alcohol is self explanatory but this also includes water. So the 5 dollar bottles of Fiji water she brought (they only serve bottles) at 2:28 had to be thrown out bc we opened them. The wings were crispy but way over salted. They are a good drunk food though because of the saltiness.

This place is so lame. Went on a Saturday and it was dead. Everything is way overpriced too.. On…read morethe bright side, service is good but just pass if you're looking for a good time lol.

The space opens up to a large shared area with couches everywhere surrounding and pointing to a big screen, perfect for a more public experience, but they also have rooms. We were in one of them for my friend's birthday celebration, and the hostess pointed me to the room no problem. The rooms themselves are spacious with a screen where you can pull up YouTube karaoke. Two mics and a Bluetooth keyboard that was pretty easy to handle. Loved that there were no technical issues, so the equipment proved reliable. But even if we had run into something, service was so attentive that I know it would have been fixed promptly. Speaking of service, I can't remember a time I received my food and drink orders so quickly. That was super impressive and made the experience all the better. They have a fun drink menu and decent pricing, so I definitely recommend. One thing I will say is that the payment terminal doesn't make it clear that 18% gratuity is already included and the itemized receipt doesn't automatically pop up, so it's very easy to mistakenly tip 20% on top of that. It would be nice if the server was more upfront about that in general, but she was also great, so it's not the end of the world. All in all, I truly enjoyed my time there.

They have private karaoke rooms, which makes it way more fun and personal, and the energy is always lit The food and drinks actually hit (which is rare for a lounge), and if you go on Tuesday, don't miss the $2 tacos and $5 drinks -- such a steal! They also have hookah and different themed nights, so there's always something going on. The best part? FREE private karaoke Monday through Wednesday, which makes it such a fun and affordable night out. Also amazing service as well. If you're looking for a spot with good food, drinks, music, and a whole experience -- this is it. Definitely coming back!

I'm amazed at some of these bad reviews and how dumb they are. I'm half Dominican and grew up in…read moreNew York. I married a 100% Dominican woman from the island that lived in Washington Heights after she left DR. This place has great food. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Some left a bad review because they said they ordered a quesadilla and fries that were OK. If you come to a Dominican restaurant and order a quesadilla and fries I'm sorry you are an idiot and know nothing about the culture or what to eat. So the ambiance. Is it a 5 star restaurant? No. Stop complaining about what they have to wipe your hands in the bathroom. If you are looking for a fine dining experience then go to Midtown. It's small, the music is LOUD at night and it gets crowded. If you don't like that vibe then go somewhere else. I've been to eat during the day when it's pretty empty and at night when it's packed. Service has always been good with longer waits if you go when there is a concert or an event at night. The food....very good. The only Dominican food I've had that is better has been food my wife cooked, my mother in law cooked or food in the Heights in New York. Definitely the most authentic Dominican spot here in Atlanta. The picadera is SO GOOD. Their beans taste just as good as what I get at home. My wife loves the Mondongo which is hard to make. Rabo is good so are the bistecs, the chuletas and the chicken I've eaten. I haven't tried the Mangu but my wife says it's good and she makes it AMAZING. I've said this before on reviews and will say it again. You have people expecting to get food like DR. Sorry people but we aren't in DR. We aren't in Washington Heights. I'd love to have it that good here but it's not going to happen. It's still doesn't make it bad. The food here is consistently good and I go often with my wife. Get the Picadera Dominicana. Best thing there.

I had gotten here around 4:30PM and went to the pool table, I had been waiting close to 15-20 minutes to be served. I just went to the bartender with a slicked back bun and wearing a burgundy shirt named "T" to ask for a drink since my friend had gotten there before me and said she had taken his order prior to me getting there. After waiting about 3 minutes at the bar, she approached me and rudely asked if I had been sitting by the pool tables. I replied and said "yes I'm sitting near the pool tables" and she responded rudely again and said she couldn't take my order and the server sitting in my section would take it. I had told her "okay, well I have been sitting here for a while waiting to be served and I wanted to order a drink" and she responded and said "well we didn't see you over there, go back to your table and I'll get your server" The server named Dom, took my order and I asked him for her name since he either saw/heard what happened. Bless his heart for trying to rectify the situation by bringing the food out quickly and being more pleasant. What makes the story worse, is that this bartender (after she yelled at me) went back to the pool tables where we were sitting to take away plates for another table she had already served and they were sitting one table over from us. So she served them (males) and my friend (another male) and felt like she refused to help or serve me. Overall, I would come back but definitely steering clear of that rude bartender that was very sarcastic and had a nasty attitude. Definitely go there on weekend nights when different bartenders are working and aren't as rude.
