"The iconic MJQ Concourse dance club has relocated from Ponce de Leon Avenue to Underground Atlanta in the former Dante’s Down the Hatch space. Open from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday, the dance club is a sci-fi fantasy come to life. Expect to see an underground neon-lit room with a spaceship with an alien inside, plenty of dance floor, and affordable drinks and food, including a Buford Highway-inspired bodega with funky snacks like wasabi and yakitori-flavored chips, canned boba tea, and Pocky. Try the boozy slushies and craft cocktails like a Mai Tai and the “WowBobWow,” (a Twin Peaks reference), a spicy concoction of habanero and jalapeño-infused tequila with triple sec, lime, and orange juice brought over from the Bookhouse Pub." - Henna Bakshi, Eater Staff

"Whether you’re planning a girls’ night and everyone wants to dance, or your college roommate is in town and you want to pretend that you’re still cool, MJQ is where you should go. It’s one of the best places to dance in the city and while it’s dark, underground, and you might not have cell service, it’s better that no drunk photos get sent anyway. There are two different rooms - one for pop and one for hip hop - but this place still fill up fast, so get here on the earlier side (and make sure to bring cash for cover) to avoid the line." - Sarah Bailey

Tried the new MJQ location for the first time last night. I freakin’ loved it! The layout of the place is so cool. Multiple rooms and levels to dance in with different music. So many bars to get drinks. I didn’t have to wait for anything. They decorated the place great. Parking was super easy in the parking deck for $15 then just follow the signs. Purchase tickets days in advance or you will have to stand in a long line. I purchased mine on a Monday for a Saturday visit. Coat check is available for $5. Staff was very friendly and pointed me in the right direction for everything. I can’t wait to go back! Recommended!!

This new location is really nice, the air feels better here than the old MJQ! I love the set up and design, the bars everywhere, the way the bathrooms are set up. A huge upgrade, cheers to many more years of MJQ!! I don’t come here often but it is an Atlanta staple and I hope it gets its flowers for keeping its doors open for so long!! And i hope the workers make lots of money cuz running a place that big cannot be easy 😭🙏

The club itself was great — good music, great energy — and overall it would have been an easy 5 out of 5. But the experience with the older light-skinned female security guard at the door on April 26, 2025, completely ruined the entry experience. She was extremely rude and hostile for no reason. While I was standing in line, she told me not to look at my own sister, which made absolutely no sense. She then complained about my sister’s bag, saying it was “too big” and “took too long” to search — even though it was literally a small clutch, not even a large purse. She made unnecessary, aggressive comments and clearly took her frustrations out on us. To make it worse, my sister was visiting from out of state, and this was one of the places she was excited to experience while here. Instead, she was met with hostility at the door, which left a bad first impression. As we entered the club and went downstairs near the coat check and ticket counter, we spoke with a kind male security guard about what happened. He told us this actually happens often and encouraged us to find upper management to file a complaint — meaning this is clearly a known problem that still hasn’t been dealt with. Someone carrying that much aggression, should not be working the front entrance where guests are forming their first impression of the night. I will be proceeding with a formal complaint. A great night should never start with unnecessary negativity like that. Management needs to take action immediately before this continues to drive away good guests.

I never leave reviews—but after last night at MJQ Concourse, I had to. There’s a light-skinned female security guard at the front who deserves serious credit. I watched her stay calm, professional, and firm while dealing with a tough crowd—especially other women who didn’t want their bags checked or refused a quick pat-down. She handled it all with so much grace and respect. What really stood out? She genuinely looks out for the ladies. I saw her step in when a guy was being super pushy and make sure the girl was okay—no drama, just protection. You can tell she cares. That makes all the difference. MJQ is lucky to have her and so are we as guests. As a woman, I felt safer knowing she was there. Thank you, Queen, whoever you are! 10/10 security energy. Will be back. Safety ✅ | Vibes ✅ | Real ones on staff ✅

I’ve been coming to MJQ for a while now, and one thing I always appreciate is the presence of the light-skinned female security guard with the green eyes at the entrance. Her job is not easy—I’ve personally witnessed how some women give her a hard time just because they don’t want their bags checked or don’t want to be patted down. But she handles it with such professionalism and calm. Honestly, I’m glad MJQ has a female security guard, especially one who clearly cares about the safety and experience of women at the club. She always keeps an eye out, steps in when guys get a little too creepy, and makes sure the women feel safe and looked after. It makes a huge difference and is one of the reasons I keep coming back. Big respect to her and the rest of the team for creating a fun but secure environment.

Absolutely love the new spot! MJQ stays true to its roots. Still all about the music and dancing. I was initially worried the vibe might change, but thrilled to see the crowd remains wonderfully weird as ever. Let’s definitely keep it that way. Only request.. Could y’all add some fans? It gets hot on that dance floor!

Gay AF but still had an amazing time here on a Wednesday! It's a beautiful recreation of the venue from midtown but even better. Thank you for upgrading the sound system! Some of the speakers in the fancy bar were still clipping, but overall, excellent. I am a connoisseur of sound quality. Keep making improvements 😁

A staple in Atlanta. They have a bar in the main room with a DJ and they have a bar and DJ in the small room. So you can choose with vibe you want or go back and forth. They have a patio that stays packed! Great place for dancing! A lot of great memories I have had in that place!
