We’re all guilty of one, two, or maybe all seven of the deadly sins on a good night. Indulge your immorality at Atlanta’s purveyors of delicious—and sometimes devilish—delights.
Envy: Be envied for your coveted membership at Lotus that grants you access to the swank upstairs level complete with plush hideaways, cigar lockers, private bars, and doting concierges. Look over the railing at the people below you to see the green sparks in their eyes. 565 Main St., 404.869.3445
Pride: With more than 40 gay bars in town, Atlanta is the gay Mecca of the South and full of pride. WETbar reigns supreme for its proud (and hot) gay bartenders (mainly men), spacious dance floors (complete with two rotating dance floors), glass-enclosed VIP room, and an enchanting patio. 960 Spring St., 404.745.9494
Gluttony: Feast on the best sushi in town at Aiko, a restaurant by evening and a white-hot club at night. The ornate spread is sure to get your chakras flowing. There’s even an appropriate Seven Sins roll to sink your hungry teeth into. 128 E. Andrews Dr., 404.869.4800
Greed: Many of Atlanta’s ladies hit the club scene night after night just to dig for gold. Strike it rich at Fever Ultralounge, where VIP tables and rooms can cost upwards of $2,000 for a single night. 1789 Cheshire Bridge Rd. NE, 404.214.0151
Sloth: Perhaps you’re feeling too lazy to even sit upright at a table to drink like the rest of the world. Why shouldn’t you be allowed to recline at your leisure? Climb into one of the plush beds underneath flowing canopies to do the honors at BED Atlanta. 110 Marietta St. NW, 404.222.7992
Lust: Swing over to Trapeze for plenty of shared lovin’ to get your lusty groove on, if you’re into that sort of thing. Of course, if you just want to keep to yourself and watch from a corner, that’s OK, too. Plenty of ways to get your kicks here at this members-only sex den. 4470 Commerce Dr. SW, 404.699.0100
Wrath: Three levels of heaven, hell, and purgatory await your inner sinner at The Masquerade. Rage loves rock, and the heaviest of all is performed here. Unleash your anger with a hardcore night of dancing. 695 North Ave., 404.577.8178
