X Midtown (TEN)

I have the most fun time at this bar! The drag shows are so fun, the music is always the best to dance to, and the people I meet on the dance floor are very friendly and make me feel comfortable, which I don’t really feel at other bars in the city (I am straight but not white). However, I CANNOT stand the bartenders and avoid them like the plague. I always make sure I drink elsewhere if I want to end up at X. They are super mean and snarky. The first time I came with friends, I offered to buy my group’s drinks. The bartender took my card, came back with the biggest smirk and judgiest look on his face, and said my card was declined, as if to assume I didn’t have enough funds. Mind you, I have strict security set on my debit card such that some big purchases may decline, send me a text to make sure it was me, then go through on the second swipe once I’ve confirmed. I totally forgot it was going to do that or else I would have just used another card; I know the bar is busy and it’d be rude to make them try my card twice. But just his assumption, and the smirk, and embarrassing me in front of my friends was so uncalled for and rude. I have had plenty more uncomfortable and rude experiences with the bar but that was by far and away the worst, and the tipping point for me to never buy drinks at X again.

Enjoyed my time here at the start of the bar crawl. The space was not very big for the event, but as people were transitioning in and out it all worked out. There are two bars here separated by a short wall. Then, another area on the side where you can place food orders. You had a direct view into the kitchen from this area. It was a little more quiet over there; at least out of the way of the larger crowd. We had a chicken sandwich (that tasted like fish because of the tartar sauce) and a breakfast quesadilla. That quesadilla was everything. It was flaky and cooked to perfection. It could have used a little seasoning, but it wasn’t bad at all. The mimosas were good too. My favorite was the cranberry. The other two flavors didn’t taste flavored at all; just like champagne. The bartenders were so nice and they worked fast. The young lady serving food was nice too; and they had her serving all those people alone. She stayed poised the e tire time. There is a parking lot right outside the building, but it’s not very big. Street parking is available though. The restrooms here were super cute and super clean. I’d go back here sometime.

Love this place down as far as atmosphere but the subtle racism spewing out of some of the bartenders souls is very unsettling…last night one of the bartenders looked me dead in my eyes and proceeded to take all his white customers even ones that came after me as I patiently waited. Eventually I walked away… the white guy next to me even noticed it this interaction and spoke up on it.. you know it’s bad when other white people notice it too… clean it up. Do better. Blake’s would never

This Midtown Halloween Block Party goes up until 2am, but the rude cashier at the front had a bad attitude and shouted in my face that "the event is over" even though it wasn't across literally every other bar in the area. You're welcome for the donation, even though I paid for a wristband that gets me in all the bars that are part of the event. I'm honestly exhausted with the negative attitude of the employees here. Every time there's any event, the majority lack any patience or hospitality.

Very nice facility located in the heart of midtown. Within walking distance of various other establishments. I was walking by but what really drew was the music they had playing on the patio was very welcoming. Inside it has a unique layout that you really don't see at many of the other bars in the area. Friendly staff and overall general atmosphere.

The loml and I were in Atlanta for some schooling. Oh boy, did we get it. We were seated at a table near the stage. The ladies at the bar were watching and commenting on "Ru Paul's Drag Race" before the live show. The show was your typical drag show with lip syncing, outrageous outfits, and a great and friendly atmosphere. The bartender was a huge rippling muscle boy with arms bigger than my legs. After a few drinks, the dollars were flying! Next time, I'm in Atlanta. I will definitely be going back.

Next level show by the queens. Aspen, Aqua and the rest of the cast were hilarious, talented and just outstanding all around performers. The queens here work the room, one of the best shows I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to a lot of drag shows. Bartenders and music were on point. Love this venue. 10/10

I came here for my baby's 21st birthday and this place is a whole vibe. Everyone was warm and friendly. The drinks were fantastic and our bartender, Austin was awesome! I look forward to visiting again!

I have been here several times, and it's nearest competition, Blake's. I prefer X simply because it's more open-space and has a better patio. They've also built a stage for drag, which, although small, is more than other bars in the area. Not a five because a couple bartenders are rather unpleasant, the bathroom situation is odd, and the in-house headliner (Shawnna) is sort of a tip-hungry jerk--not in the sassy, funny way.

Horrible bathroom situation, same exact 15 songs on replay every day with no dj and no events, shady business calling the cops and closing down nearby events to try to gain customers. I've also heard personal stories of people being banned for leaving negative reviews.

After a fun evening at 10, the manager on duty started to remove the chairs from the dance floor. We were dancing and having fun and then stepped to the side when we saw the chairs being removed. Next thing we know, after spending approx $100 on drinks, one of our friends was kicked out for "getting in the manager's face." If by "getting in his face" he meant that we were startled by a 4 prong metal table in our faces but then we apologized and stepped to the side when he walked by, then we definitely did that. 5 stars up until this point, but then it quickly became a 0/5. But due to Yelp rules we have to give a 1 star review. We're sorry Tim! Please go back and watch the CCTV tomorrow and you'll see the reason for this review.

It's my favorite place to dance I love how they play the music with the Original video

UNSAFE. I was pickpocketed while there and they also tried to pickpocket my friend. Talked to the cop there and he said lots of people were being pickpocketed and didn't seem to care. Bathroom situation is awful and fights almost started because of it. Avoid at all costs.

um why doesn't this have reviews? much better than blake's. go here - bigger, better music, more bar areas, better mix of people etc.
