Happy Hour ATL — Restaurant in Atlanta

ORIGINAL 1 STAR: I live and work in a decatur carribean night club. I went to this establishment on a Saturday night (sunday morning) at 1 am to celebrate my friends birthday (I'M STILL HERE NOW AT 2:53 AM). It was about 13 of us. We bought a section which came with a bottle. When we first walked in, WE WERE HAPPY AND TURNT UP...the dj saw us and said "wtf is this, wtf is going on here?" mind you we are all not bad looking women and we are not sloppy looking so what does he mean?? They played hip hop music most of the night thereafter which was cool. The dj at one point went into a song called "DRIFT" which is a carribean song. We were all super lit when that happened. After that he went straight back into a hip hop song. I went to the bartender and asked if she could ask the dj to play a tiny segment of reggae. Idk if this is inappropriate to do because at our establishment people can make requests all the time. Even if it's not a carribean song and we are a carribean club. He never asked for any names of songs. He simply got on the mic and said "aye, yall gone stop coming in here making all these requests. If yall ain't got no money stop making requests." At this point, I'm offended. So I walk up to the dj and ask how much to play a reggae song? He says on the mic " IDK WTF you talking about but you need to get away from my dj booth." I side eyed him and walked away. He then says on the mic AS IM WALKING AWAY "I'm from Atlanta, idgaf what yall talking about." Like sir what did I say after to provoke you to attack me on mic? This was after spending money on a section and srill spending extra side money on drinks. BARTENDER ASHLEY was LITERALLY the only golden light in all of this. She came over and apologized directly for the Djs rudeness. She was shocked he responded that way so she said she was going to get her manager but at that point I told her not to because they are closing in a few but I really just wanted to say the DJ ruined the experience for us all tonight (not because he would not accommodate any requests but because of his attitude & actions). I'm truly curious to know Dj from tonight what did I do to you?!?!?! 🤔

I've been here 2 times prior. Never on a Saturday so I've never experienced this here before. Anyway, I'll be honest, other than the DJ incident, the drinks are good but I will not be back on a Saturday night.

UPDATE 4 STARS: A one star for the DJ's actions just didn't seem fair because aside from that we really did have...

I’m gonna start by say these reviews must be paid actors. The whole scene was a hot mess. My friend and I arrived and the security told us it was an hour wait. We decided we here already let’s just wait. There was literally no where to sit and the bar was full. First why would you still be letting people in knowing the wait was crazy. Then we finally get a seat almost 2 hours later and was told to get up because the area won’t fit a party of four, but I watched it happen. There was a waitress seemingly trying to help but sitting us at a high table with low seats wasn’t gonna work. They end up sitting us by the lil grass wall next to the bathroom, kitchen and garbage. My friend asked could we be moved especially due to the table being so uneven. We were told no reservations only, so why let people in if you’re booked for the night. We decided to make the best of it and ordered drinks.15 bucks for the smallest drink , then we ordered food, I ordered tacos that the menu says come with fries I was told they don’t and it’s extra if I get it. My friend ordered an egg roll but it took forever. My third finally arrived and we simply asked for and extra seat but the waitress just ignored the request. By this time I had flies around my food. I spoke to the waitress with the blonde hair who said go ahead and move. We didn’t want to order anything else but still allowed my other friend to get wat she want. By this time I’m askin for a Togo box and was informed I couldn’t get one since I didn’t order takeout. So I requested to have the food taken off my tab since I can’t take it home. I was told to speak with the manager, she said she would let the waitress know to get a Togo box. Why did the waitress bring the dirtiest box to me. My friend took the box and let them know that was unacceptable. The manager came and apologized with a new box. This may have the worse experience. I don’t remember ever getting the waitress name but overall I wouldn’t come back. And if u must go please have...

The only reason that this review gets 5 starts on breakdown is for the atmosphere. It’s definitely gets five because of the host, the DJ, and the hookah girl. Shout out to them.

Other than that, this did not live up to the expectations or other 5 star reviews.

As my sister has been wanting to go here for a while and once we got there, we had no problem being seated. The host was super great, but our server …Terrible. Not only did we have to wait almost 15-20 minutes to even get greeted, we ordered a Red Bull and got it clear cup with ice not even the whole can unopened, more like 1/4 of can. That is the first time I’ve have ever seen that. And it was full of ice so only 4-5 sips.

On top of that we ordered wings and fries. The wings were literally drowning in the sauce and the sauce was literally room temp wings were not hot at all fries were semi hot like they had been sitting. We waited for her to come back so we can let her know. But…

Not only that our server never came back afterwards. We didn’t get any utensils or even napkins for eating. anything like that

Once we got the drinks and the food, she never came back until someone had to grab her to close the check.

The DJ was on point and the hookah was smoking. That’s the only reason it has the stars that it has when it comes to the breakdown.

But overall definitely needs some kinks fixed, training, and some revamp of customer service and...
