Alright, my last topic for the day.

The upscale area of Atlanta.

most young people no longer party in buckhead. try the many bars in the virginia highlands area, east of buckhead.

Buckhead is about 5 miles from down town ATL. It's the banking center of atlanta and very upscale neighborhood. it's was known for it's gold club (night club district years back). You will run into celebrities, at the Lenox Mall. Party wise don't know.

What is Buckhead in Atlanta?

---

it used to be several things (as far as entertainment goes):

1) dive bars for former frat types (near E. Andrews). This still exists. (Red Door etc)

2) drinking spot for youngsters (GaTech types etc). Moon Dogs. Still exists.

3) Gangsta bars/clubs mixed with random good places (Fado). Gone. Fado moved.

4) E. Andrews--good upstairs for music. Cheesy downstairs.

5) Roxy. still there--good music venue usually.

6) Overpriced restaurants (although Buckhead Diner is a favorite place to use my B'Head Life gift cards).

Overall not where you want to be. Highlands is much better these days. E. Atlanta is much better. Hell, Decatur (Oakhurst esp), Cabbage Town, Grant Park, Inman Park, Little Five Points, and Kirkwood are better.

The Highlands gives you everything you need though. Going North to South: Caramba; BBQ place and el Taco; George's, Cavern (can be sketch), Moe's & Joe's, Fontaine's, Highland Tap, Noche, Taco Mac, Diesel, Ten High (esp on Thur nights--Yacht Rock), Limerick Jnct, Dark Horse(meh), Atkins, good Mexican place behind Dark Horse, Hand in Hand, Neighbors, then cross Ponce to Righteous Room, down to the Local and Clairmont Lounge.

In a word, no reason to go to buckhead. Plus, you can head down ponce to 78 and cruise to athens.
