Famous people seem to be all around Atlanta, but when it comes to nightlife, the stars really come out. But you may wonder where the celebrities hang out in and around Atlanta.
No matter if it’s in downtown Atlanta, Midtown, Buckhead or Marietta, celebrities can be found in abundance around the city. Some even own restaurants. But there are some night spots you’ll definitely find them.
Where Do Celebrities Hang Out In Atlanta?
Celebrities can be found at several of the new, hip nightspots that have sprouted up around Atlanta in recent years.
Some famous people like to remain low key, so you may find them in dimly lit lounges and bars. Others like to blend in with big neon lights and huge crowds.
Here are some clubs where celebrities frequent in Atlanta:
MJQ Concourse
50 Lower Alabama St Underground, Suite 001, Atlanta, GA 30303
MJQ is Midtown’s most famous and dank nightclub, known for bringing in some of the most highly regarded celebrity DJs from across the world and has been doing it ever since it occupied a humble spot located behind Chipotle just off Ponce de Leon Avenue. Now it’s at Underground Atlanta and it’s a party every weekend.
One Google reviewer says: “My favorite club, I always end up here every weekend. The cover is usually minimal and I dig the grimy underground vibe. Yes, some nights the music is a bit off(rare) but the people there are fun and the patio out back has a great vibe. I’ve met alot of cool people there that end up partying with me the rest of the night. The girl DJ they put in the back room is mad funky, love her.”
Blue Ivory NightClub
