The Masquerade

My first time visiting Atlanta was unforgettable thanks to the Whitechapel concert at The Masquerade! We got to see Whitechapel perform and was able to experience the VIP package with a meet and greet. The venue was organized, and being able to be the first group inside meant we got an amazing view of the stage upstairs. The venue itself was awesome—great sound, energy, and setup. Whitechapel put on an incredible show, and which made my experience with The Masquerade it even better. Definitely a place I’d come back to for another concert, especially if Phil is performing ! Heavy metal hits perfect underground 🤘🏼🖤

Masquerade is awesome. This 1 venue has 4 individual stages where different shows can be performed all at once. Its super awesome been here several times. With not 1 but 2 parking garages (1 with a bridge connected directly to it) and the other directly across the street. Its such a well laid out venue when youre in there youre in the middle of all the venues at once, and its incredibly laid out with its own food there. Only reason I give 4 stars is because the location of it freaks me out its 1 street off of mlk Blvd and sometimes its a bit sketchy getting to it. I personally dont like driving to it. However when you're there its incredible. Such a cool venue. And its quite efficient getting in, and back out. Its my favorite place to go despite the drive there being a bit sketchy.

I appreciate the space and the variety of shows, but the Altar posted only the "doors opening" time which is an hour and a half before the show. The bartender says they have a new policy prohibiting them from posting the time the band actually starts. Not interested in standing around in front of an empty stage just so that they boost food and booze sales. They do have this funky graffiti in the bathroom though!

The staff was courteous and friendly. The venue had a dark almost sinister atmosphere, not that that was a bad thing. Went there for Blind Guardian a few weeks ago. Great sound and I can see why bands want to come to this historic place. Loved it!

Went here to see the Happy Fits, it’s a super cool venue! Multiple stages, great parking options, multiple areas for food and drink, and ultimately very unique. It can be a bit confusing if you’ve never been, so add an extra couple of minutes to make a wrong turn. Overall loved it can’t wait to come back. The only partial downside I had was the bathrooms. There’s not much signage to find the bathrooms and the bathrooms inside the stage areas are closed off until doors open. Staff is very helpful though so you can figure it out it’s just not blatant where they are.

I saw the “Atmosphere and friends” tour here at the Heaven room last night. The room sounded great! Very nice staff too. I’ve seen Kool Keith perform live many times, but this was my first time seeing him perform with Ced Gee as ‘the Ultramagnetic MC’s.’ So legendary!

Went for a NYE Rave celebration. Was really good. I definitely overthought everything about safety, parking, etc. If you are visiting and taking a car or renting one, definitely pay for parking in the garage 3rd floor. Was safe. I was so worried about getting broken into my rental car lol. Showed up at 8 thinking it was gonna be super packed, so if you do the same, show up until the event time or a little later if it’s a NYE celebration lol. Good experience, decent amount of people downstairs. Balcony not so much. Would visit again.

The venue was so quaint and the bartender was very kind. The fact that there is a place to get food out in the courtyard.And you can go back inside to the venue after eating is very convenient. Thank you for reading!
