The Atlanta music scene has grown in regards to House and Techno music and the center of it is on Edgewood Avenue. Edgewood is a great spot to dance and listen to music because there are several bars on the same block. That means you can walk from bar to bar and don't have to worry about getting stuck in one place the whole night as most bars are free or cheap ($5-10 entry).
On Edgwood you can find international and local DJs who play at least once a week at various bars. So, if you live here and are looking for something new or if you are visiting from out ouf town, Edgewood is a great place to stop when traveling to Atlanta.
For electronic music fans, groupies, or ravers; check out these top bars. This venues have weekly parties so there is always something going on due to various DJ crews that throw parties for themselves or host other DJs from out of town.
House and techno bars in order -- with my favorites on top:
- The Soundtable - This place is an amazing Asian fusion restaurant at night, but turns into a poppin' bar and lounge at night. The venue is small and gets crowded fast, so get there early and grab a fancy cocktail.
- Space 2 - This is one of the newest venues as it is was added to connect with the Soundtable to provide more space for dancing. Sometimes they both open and you can go from one venue to the other via the back patio. Kinda grungy and better for raves, so if you are looking for something classier, go to The Soundtable.
- The Music Room - This place seems like a downstairs college bar where there is a big dance floor and stage. The stage also brings in bands and rappers, so the crowd usually ends up pretty mixed.
- Speakeasy - This is like the smaller version of The Soundtable, but more chill and loungy as it doesn't get to crazy. There are specialty drinks and is a great place to pregame or kick-off a date as it is next to a pizza place.
