MSR My Sisters Room — Restaurant in Atlanta

I have mixed feelings with this place lol. I've been a frequent costumer for the past 2 years. I cannot comment on the food or drinks as I'm not a drinker. My review is solely on the club and atmosphere experience!

When I 1st attended this place Ressie was the dj there along with zquared and they'd alternate. Also, burlesque and drag shows weren't being split into two like they do now. In my opinion splitting into two just drags it on for way too long and it just takes away from the club experience for Friday and Saturday. After awhile you're just standing there ready to go home lol. The performers arent that good except for 2 so it really does need to be cut short in my opinion or get rid of it altogether. I think that's the main reason the club goers leave at 1. It's packed when you get there but between 1 and 2 more than half of the club has left. This happens every time I go and when I'm there I go for 2 or 3 Saturdays straight. The dance floor is literally dead and empty around that time. In my opinion the Dj needs to have a better feel of the crowd. No one is hardly dancing at times so that's a good indication to change up the tune. Dj Wulf and Dj Squared need to pay attention to this although she has been improving a bit more ☺. It's always good to play a variety of genres but dj Wulf makes you feel like u are in a solely edm club so I don't go when he's there. I think Fridays are the best nights. It's more trap hip hop r&b reggae latin and some old school pops. Saturdays are not that way and I think Saturday should be just like Fridays. Kia is there and she really interacts with the crowd. Saturday is missing all that. It lacks consistency thus making it a hit or a miss. This is literally the only lesbian club in atlanta. It's friendly, i always feel comfortable coming here but it needs to improve on those two things. This club has a lot of potential! It really does! 😊. Maybe they should cut down the shows to 30 mins minimum. We are there to dance after all not watch an hr long show that isn't good most of the time. As of recently the bathroom upstairs hasnt been the cleanest. It does smell and sometimes not all the ceiling fans are on. All in all this place can be awesome if they do improve on...

While i like the more centralized location of the place, that comes with a big downfall of dealing with traffic in the more congested area and pay-for-parking when the old location had free parking.  That's a downside, but thankfully we can park a little distance away and walk to alleviate that.

The much bigger issue is the layout of the place.  The dancefloor is separated upstairs, versus in the old location where you walked into the dancefloor, and even the pool table area was right off it so you could hear the DJ.  So to enjoy music and dance, which is what i really go to clubs for, you have to go upstairs because the downstairs is really just a bar (and a pool table area).  You can't hear the DJ music and there's no room to dance. The problem is that, once the dancefloor upstairs gets "at capacity", you have to stand in line to get up there, so if no one leaves, no one is getting upstairs.  In the hour + that i was there with friends last night, we never made it upstairs.  The line was always long, starting on the staircase to get up there, and it rarely moved. I don't go to clubs to stand still in a staircase or on line to get to the dancefloor.  MAJOR buzzkill.

I might try it again, just earlier in the night, to try to get upstairs, but i never experienced this at the old location.  Maybe if they charged to get upstairs like i read they were going to do in the Georgia Voice, it might have alleviated the situation with less people willing to pay, but maybe not. But, honestly, until they find a better fix to address that (expand in the building or outside it, or pipe the DJ music downstairs, etc.) than to just "get there earlier in hopes of beating the crowd", we more than likely won't be back. We were a group of about 10 people, we enjoy good drinks so we tip well, and we love to dance (and MSR has always had the better DJs due to their inclusion of hip-hop and pop r&b to the mix) and have a good time, so it sucks that we feel we can't support this business in the new location.  I hope they find a way...

So I am leaving the establishment after a terrible experience. I came by a few days ago for Karaoke night with my Twin sister, who flew in for our 35th birthday weekend, and enjoyed ourselves so much, she decided to come back again on Saturday night. We got in had good vibes going then they wanted to have all Gemini's come on stage, knowing my sister wouldn't go by herself I, her twin gay brother, drag her up on stage. Not knowing what's about to happen we willingly participate in the dance competition. At the end I am facing my sister talking and showing a dance move we could have did not knowing someone was walking up behind me. I accidentally knocked the tray of shots she had coming for all of us for participating. I felt terrible about it and the young lady I ran into made me feel even worse, when I turned and realized what happened she got upset and walked off, with alcohol covering my pants and leg. I get that it was my bad I just didn't see her behind me, the problem I have is I went after standing up there for a minute while the shots are now covering both my shoes at this point (and the other participant being one of the only two people who checked in on me asking if anyone brought a towel for my shoes so they don't stain), I go to the bar to ask for a towel and I'm told I have to wait for them to finish cleaning the spill on the stage to at least get the sticky feeling off me. This was the WORST experience I've had at any bar/club I've been to since I moved here. I'm more embarrassed than anything because I go out of the norm to take her somewhere she would like and now feel like that's not the spot I EVER want to revisit or take any one back to. I am now at some straight bar I was trying to avoid going to because I felt this place would not be the vibe we were looking for giving them money to calm my self from being pissed off figuring out how to clean my shoes that were a birthday gift instead of enjoying my make up birthday...
