You want to be as bad ass as Johnny Depp in that pirate movie, eh? We’ll get ready for lawlessness…and the sea legs that come with it.
10 High Club
816 N. Highland Ave. NE (@ Greenwood Ave.)
Virginia-Highland 404.873.3607
Up in arms about someone stealing your treasure? Thrash your angry head about while everyone’s moshing hard to the loud karaoke lyrics of cover metal bands on Metalsome Mondays and Saturdays.
Hoedowns
931 Monroe Dr. (@ Midtown Promenade Shopping Ctr.)
Midtown 404.876.0001
Got a yearning for local pillaging? Take your bad-girl ’tude to the gay party bar where women’s wet t-shirt contests rule on Thursdays. Saturdays get naughtier still with wet underwear contests for the guys.
Blake’s
227 10th St. (@ Piedmont St.)
Midtown 404.892.5786
Pirates don’t like to share, that is certain. What’s theirs is theirs and what’s yours is theirs too. Embrace that spirit by sharing the love at this neighborhood bar where gender rules are made to be broken. Take a walk on the wild side by making out with someone of the same sex (or who’s just dressed like that).
The Masquerade Atlanta
695 North Ave. NE (N. Angier Ave. NE & Somerset Ter. NE)
Downtown 404.577.8178
Shiver me sinners! The three levels of heaven, hell, and purgatory await your inner sinner at The Masquerade.
Trapeze
4470 Commerce Dr. SW (@ Fulton Ind. Blvd.)
Southwest Atlanta 404.699.0100
Want to walk the plank? OK, so maybe it’s a trapeze, but swing over to this members-only sex den for no-holds-barred shared lovin’ to get your lusty groove on, if you’re into that sort of thing. Not sure if cops ever stop in here, unless their looking for new ways to use their shiny cuffs.
