BLOCK & DRUM

This place is a hidden gem and a nice vibe for friends, dates, and meet-ups. The drinks were so smooth and expertly crafted. One drink got me right, which is rare. I didn’t go on a day when they had a food truck or a live performance, but I still enjoyed my time there. Just a warning, this place doesn’t serve food unless you go on a food truck day. I have no idea when those days are. My date and I ate at the Waffle House right across the parking lot after having our drinks. I didn’t know anything about the place before I went, but as you can see from my pics, there were a lot of beautiful black people in the building. My experience at Block and Drum was refreshing and I’d like to go back when there will be a good vendor.

Block & Drum has a really cool, laid-back vibe and feels like a hidden gem in the city. It’s a great spot whether you're hanging out with friends, on a date, or just looking for a good time. The drinks were smooth, flavorful, and strong without being overpowering. I only needed one to feel it, which is rare these days. I went for a salsa event and the DJ had the music flowing perfectly all night. The crowd was fun, diverse, and full of good energy. Parking was a bit tricky, but I got lucky finding a spot nearby. I’d definitely come back, especially when they’re hosting a solid vendor or themed night. Looking forward to the next visit!

I love the great energy at Block & Drum. I’ve been here three times over the past few months to attend the Kokota Atl event. I love the diversity, the unique atmosphere, the indoor lounge and the outside courtyard. I also love that this space is family friendly. The drinks are amazing and affordable… and there is always food nearby. I truly enjoy this wonderful space.

A place with really good food trucks, amazing bartenders that can get creative with what they have, and an atmospheric influence that makes you want to stay planted and with the vibe. I'm a creature who appreciates 70s & 80's disco fusion and this is oozes all that and more, with a large space to spread out and escape to outside when the garage style doors

What an amazing open concept place to chill. The absolute selling point on this place is that the DJs actually spin vinyl. Mixed crowd, very diverse and eclectic. The only downside is parking. Get there early, but you are going to enjoy yourselves. The bar staff is incredible.

Went back to Block & Drum July 5th and had a BLAST!!! Such a cool spot. Felt like I was in a movie. They have some AMAZING COCKTAILS as well!! Come through!!!! Block & Drum welcomes a cool ATL clientele.

We stopped by Block and Drum on a Saturday afternoon when there weren’t any events happening. The place was pretty empty, and while the vibe was chill and the music was good, it felt a bit underwhelming overall. There weren’t any small bites or food options available during regular hours, just drinks. Speaking of drinks—they were on the pricier side and didn’t really stand out in terms of taste. It seems like this spot is probably a lot more fun during events. On a regular day, it's more about the ambiance than the overall experience.

Finally, a modern and casual hangout spot in the Chamblee area. Love the concept of B&D making their own custom spirits and signature cocktails. The space is beautiful inside and out. They have vinyl DJs on the weekends and live music on special occasions. Definitely a great neighborhood hangout no matter what time of day.

Initially I was told this was a coffee shop and a chill place to post up with your laptop. While I found that to be true (and to my surprise), it was SOOO much than that oh my goodness... Block Drum gives WELL rounded vibes. They have a coffeeshop, they have a bar that serves cocktails and makes a good mojito if I might add. They have food trucks, play good music, and have a space right outside for events. The folks who work there are super sweet too. We didn't get to stay too long due to a private event being held, but with that said I will definitely be back. Imagine going to get some work done, then putting down the laptop and vibing to some good music with a dope atmosphere, that's my type of balance. I can see this is going to be a VERY poppin' spot so I look forward to more people discovering this place.

I'm very pleasantly surprised about how much I enjoyed this spot. The vibes are very relaxed and chilled, which I loved. They also have a lot of different areas to sit and listen to the music, which was nice. There is an outside area with some games and a screen, and they have rotating food trucks. I definitely see it being a great spot for summer. Parking can be hard, but there is extra parking by the Walmart. The only thing I didn't love was the mocktail I had. I asked the bartender if he could make one, and he said yes and that he would add ginger beer, but I don't think he put any in it. It was like just straight lemon, and I think orange juice with a little grapefruit soda on top, but it was so bitter and not very good. It was also $14, which I think is too much for being mostly lemon juice and like no sugar, so I would avoid that and just have the free water next time.

I imagine Block & Drum is well on its way to becoming a hot spot. It's a unique venue with relaxed outdoor and indoor lounge spaces. They offer a coffee bar and bar serving cocktails made with their own distilled spirits, rotating food trucks and there's a stage providing a small amphitheater feel. They had a DJ during my visit but there's also live performances. There's not a ton of parking but you can park in the lower level deck at Walmart which is a short walk away. If you're looking for a relaxed hangout with great music, drinks, and responsible patrons, you want to check it out. I'll be back and sharing with friends.

Truly a vibe! Block & Drum is located a bit off the beaten path, but signage guided to parking and then to entrance. The hallway leading to the main section of Block & Drum was a bit desolate with some more signs that led to a door to the left where the bar area was located, and an open area just beyond with a food truck. It was a bit chilly outside, so only peeked briefly. Later noticed on social media that space was a functional area that would be very nice during warmer weather. The main area featured vinyl selections displayed on the walls and led to couches and small tables next to a large bar. The bar was the pièce de résistance! A DJ set up was placed in the middle of the section, with a bar featuring craft cocktails surrounding. Couches and tables were located on the other side of the room and many sections had games, including extra large Uno cards and others similar to connect 4. Beautifully designed drinks accompanied most patrons and a large water container was placed in seating area to allow for consumers to access freely. Food truck outside offered compliments to the cocktails; did not sample this visit but items offered looked interesting. DJ Kemit was the featured DJ during my visit and he played vinyl records throughout the night. He engaged the crowd through his selections and with warm glances of acknowledgment. His melodic movements kept the patrons jovial as games were played and conversations among groups of all sizes continued. Planning to return to explore all offerings. This Chamblee gem is truly a buried treasure!

Safe home & hospitality Super FUNNNNNN GAMES MUSIC Food ....... Space room to chill & be so cozy

This space is such a vibe! Chill, greenery, records, swing chairs, all the things! The service was slow for it not being busy, and it's difficult to find/not the best parking. BUT it's a hidden gem that we will return to!! They also have a Wednesday event that's fun and chill!

I love the music, ambiance & vibes This is my first musical experience here and I will definitely return. It's also great for a nice and relaxing date night.

I was so excited when Block & Drum finally opened their doors. After living in the Brookhaven area for a few months, I was getting tired of driving downtown for some music and vibes. Finally, I can hang out in my own backyard. Block & Drum is a casual but contemporary coffee shop and bar. They distill and package their own spirits on site. This is a versatile venue with a huge event space holding up to 300+, an outdoor patio and cozy lounge. They have DJ's spinning vinyl on the weekends. This is definitely a great spot for a girls night, date night, or any occasion really. The food options are limited for right now, with plans to expand, per the owner. The bartenders are helpful with drink recommendations, and the drink list features signature cocktails named after popular songs. I just wish they had a full bar, but it may be in the works. I almost didn't want to write a review because I don't want the word to get out about this hidden gem.

Love, love, love block and drum! The staff is incredibly kind and Justin is amazing! Such an incredible vibe at night and delicious coffee in the morning.

Pros: Great vibe, ambiance. Music. Food truck. Con: drinks are pricey. Paid $37 for 2 drinks @$14, glass half filled, overcharged on gratuity. Explain how 20% on $28 is $6.22, last I checked 20% of $28 was $5.6. It would be nice if they added wine. Although I will return for the music , but won't patronize the bar.
