North Highland Pub
Atlanta (404) 522-4600
A cozy North Highland Pub that offers patrons
a welcome break from trendier, more crowded joints in Va-Hi and
Little Five Points. From classic storefront windows and old baseball
photos to exposed brick walls and antique beer signs, the pub stands

The Mark
Ultralounge

The hip decor is reminiscent of a post-mod movie
set with a surreal scene that is marked by eerie lighting, luxe
lounge areas, weathered brick walls, contemporary artwork and TV
monitors hung at weird angles – a combined effect that would
probably leave Dali himself in awe. If Atlanta needed a lounge to
attract trend-setters, this sleek, hotel-style bar has definitely
hit the "mark."

www.blindwilliesblues.com
This club is named for Georgia's own "Blind"
Willie McTell, a legendary songwriter born in Thomson who is credited
