Native Atlantans as well as visitors love this place. Here’s what one Google reviewer said:

“Oh, yes. I will return. Kat’s Cafe (KC) is a gem ,I’m glad I found. KC is a small venue that features live entertainment and a bar for drinks.
From the accolades given by the singer that was there the night I was, KC is where local talent is given a chance to shine. There is a small cover. $10, the night I was there. Not sure if it changes depending on the act.
Seating was limited and the cafe was full so I sat at the bar. Drinks are reasonably priced.
Valet parking available on premise.  Thanks, Kat for a nice place to unwind on the weekends! I will be returning soon.”
