You may recognize Switchyards as the building with the red neon "Made with Soul in Atlanta" light!
Inside it's very modern urban with visually appealing posters, vintage seating and exposed ventilation. There's ping pong on the bottom floor and the main floor has stadium seating and an open space for presentations, parties, or speakers.
Their posters suggest these types of events happen about once a month. The events seem well curated and are probably a great way to meet other members. There's always many creative and interesting people here. It's a great place to network.
They offer a variety of complimentary coffees on the main floor's coffee bar. I think the barista could be a little more pleasant, but it just deters me from drinking too much coffee, so that's a good thing. Sometimes they have other complimentary treats like doughnuts.
You will need to enter with a member or be a member in order to check out Switchyards. Otherwise, take a photo outside in front of the neon sign & say, "I was in Atlanta!"
Metered parking can be found around the building, on side streets or in lots. If you live close enough it might be best to MARTA, walk, bike or scooter because parking anywhere downtown is expensive!
