Trapeze — Restaurant in Mableton

Pros The staff is absolutely excellent. They're really the stars of the whole operation. Everyone from the bartenders, the valets, to the servers. Top quality people. Always friendly. Always professional. Without them the whole place would crumble The lifestyle community is awesome. Not at all toxic. Open to newbies and all types of people. The food is good, especially the breakfast. It's 20 times better than the Loft even on its worst day.

Neutral The dancefloor is small and the lights aren't angled properly. They'll hit your eyes temporarily blinding you. I guess you can "accidentally" run into someone you like on the dancefloor that way The DJ plays the same tunes every weekend. Which is good and bad. I guess the crowd dancing knows what to expect. I would like to hear some more modern dance music for a change. A lot of areas are poorly lit. I understand that you want to set the mood but sometimes you want to see where you're going to.

Cons Diamond Club is overrated and overpriced. It should all be standard. The regular playroom needs an upgrade. Knock out the wall from the bar area to the back room. The playrooms and bathrooms can get filthy. I highly recommend putting on shower shoes and carrying a small can of Lysol. Spilled drinks all over the floor. Foul smells. The lockers are way too small for a couple to share. The Diamond Club lockers are not any bigger. I recommend putting your valuables in a small backpack and traveling light. Leave your coat in the car Without warning they will throw away your wine and premixed drinks at the end of the night. They won't tell you this so you'll come up to the club expecting to finish off your bottle, and you'll end up buying alcohol at some 24 liquor store in the shady part of town. Ask for your alchohol bottles at the end of the night. The dress code is not enforced. The first time we were there a guy wore a Philadelphia Eagles hoodie and some Walmart blue jeans with holes all in them. Even on Saturday nights, males will aimlessly wander around unchaperoned. It's okay to look but it's a huge turn off if you're gawking. People will gather around in the common playrooms and just stand around, blocking up narrow entryways and walk paths while cutting up, cackling, and making noise. This doesn't happen in the Diamond Club area, the crowd is more refined, but then again nothing really happens in the Diamond Club area either. Condoms, disinfectant, and lube are not readily accessible unless you're in the Diamond Club area. I highly recommend bringing your own. Management was totally apathetic about my conerns and complaints despite paying for the $200 Diamond Club experience. They never once apologized or asked if they could do something rectify the situation with the thrown away alcohol that we previously left there. We are from out of town more than 100 miles away, it's not like we could have gone home to grab a few drinks then came back. The bar area was completely overcrowded with the usual patrons and the staff was frantically too busy to concern themselves with people who weren't regulars in the Diamond Club. It was advertised that you could order food off a separate menu, but we never saw this menu, nor did anyone confront us or offer to assist us. We ended up getting our drinks at the common area bar where the staff was much more available and accommodating. They don't accept Discover or American Express

Summary The Trapeze is definitely a fun experience for any lifestyle couple or if you're just a little curious. Don't waste your money on the Diamond Club, it's a total rip off. Some improvements need to desperately happen. Honestly it doesn't have any competition at the moment because the Loft is absolutely awful, but it definitely needs some. Maybe then the Trapeze will become that premiere club they are...

I went for the first time on a Saturday just to see how things were and ambiance was totally not what I was expecting from other places I’ve heard and people I’ve known that have gone to places like this. The website doesn’t even tell you about the first entry fee of $100, plus the membership on top of that. I would hope that would be the only time I would pay that entry fee seeming as how I was new. Food wasn’t bad, but I wasn’t expecting breakfast before 11pm at night. Make sure you bring whatever liquor bottle you need for the night because like the website states they don’t have a bar, all the bottles you will see are people/members personal bottles on the shelf. The DJ plays club music like this isn’t a different type of environment. Nothing soothing, like giving the type of place this is playing heavy bass music, reggaeton, dancehall or trap doesn’t set the mood at all. It just throws off the vibe with the place. Reggae music or RNB would make more sense for the vibe this place should bring. Or some soothing instrumental music with air purifiers of eucalyptus around the areas or something. I feel like the website’s description doesn’t match the vibe it should bring and I basically wasted my money. Wasn’t even worth staying the whole time. Could’ve went to the club honestly pulled one and just went to a hotel if I didn’t want to go home. It’s a overpriced experience, putting NDAs to dress it up to make it more than what it is doesn’t make things better.

Update: 8/28/24

Was supposed to get a refund after to speaking to the manager of the Atlanta location. Was extremely hard to get in touch with and was referred to the Ft. Lauderdale location in the accounting department. “June ” in accounting was extremely rude like the money I asked to be refunded was a lot bs the actual principle of my experience. Had to explain my situation to several people and still not even a partial refund. They essentially stole my money. I should’ve just put a block on that charge before the week came into play if I knew these people were going to act like this. I literally could’ve went to a regular club and just paid less and did the same thing. The GM in the Atlanta region was extremely petty along with the accountant June being very condescending like my issue didn’t matter. Who would even come back if they were displeased with the actual place. Not even talking about the lifestyle and stuff. That’s what I came to check out. Door fees on the weekend are $100 plus the subscription. I asked about dress code and all of this and wasn’t even told...

Went there yesterday, on Christmas. Just something to do as we were in Atlanta for two days. Didn’t expect it to be busy. Got there about 1015, had to get a membership and pay to get in. Wasn’t told that half the play area was under construction. And it was all the couples only area so single males were free to follow you around. Even the play area that was open, they were actively doing work in the area, yelling and slamming things. So obviously not a good vibe. Left in less than an hour, talked to the girl at the front desk about the experience. She was very nice, said she hadn’t warned us about the construction because the manager hadn’t told her yet. Manager came out and was rude as hell. Asking us what do we want, they don’t give refunds. Then walked away. The door girl offered a free night, but as we said we are traveling through and wouldn’t want to come back anyhow. She did say the VIP area just got set up and opened up, but we had already taken our wristbands off and didn’t want to go back in after all that experience. Couldn’t believe how rude the manager was, and you don’t do active construction in a play area. Just a horrible experience and a horrible environment and the manager just didn’t care. I’d advise anyone with sense and class take their business elsewhere if this is how they treat people. All the good things we have heard about trapeze….. must be a different location.

Interesting how the owner/manager is very quiet not commenting on this one. Because they know they were wrong and have no desire or intention of making it right. I think that speaks volumes. If you want class not ghetto…....
