Bulldogs

"Bulldogs in Midtown has been an iconic part of Black gay Atlanta for more than 40 years. And the line out the door on weekends confirms this bar is still very much the place to be. Things are casual and fun here with stained glass windows of bulldogs hanging above the bar and a giant back patio that houses a TV and plenty of space to relax. Drinks are heavy-handed (which is fine by us), and weekly specials like R&B nights and $2 tequila shots get the dance floor going. Thankfully, there’s a kitchen with a rotating menu to help us out when we need to regain our senses. " - juli horsford

"Bulldogs has been the spot for Atlanta’s Black gay men for over 45 years now, making it one of the city’s oldest gay bars. It’s friendly, reliable, and a bar that’s seen so much Atlanta history, it should be considered a landmark. Bulldog’s has a small dance floor which is usually packed, along with a bar outside. The drinks are strong and the vibe inside is always welcoming. Regulars here are fiercely loyal and proud of a place that continues to bear witness to an ever-transforming Atlanta." - Robbie Medwed
