Atlanta offers plenty of nighttime entertainment for everyone, with numerous music and dance clubs, cabarets, theaters, taverns and bars. Although Atlanta nightlife encompasses the whole city, with popular locations in almost every neighborhood, there are three main districts that, together, define nightlife in Atlanta.

The neighborhood of Buckhead is extremely popular among twenty-something partiers and area college students. In fact, the whole area practically becomes one giant fraternity party at night, especially on weekends. Little Five Points caters more toward the artsy types, giving off that esoteric, almost exotic vibe. Both young and old are found with elbows over mahogany here. Virginia-Highlands is for those somewhat young and sassy professionals. Here, bar patrons are chic and slick and you’ll here a lot of conversation about work floating through the air.
 
If you’d like to spend a night out in downtown Atlanta, there is a small but popular area of bars and clubs in the vicinity of Peachtree Center. This is where you’ll find all the conventioneers and tourists who are staying in the downtown area.

If it’s hot jazz or slinky blues you desire, Atlanta offers many choices. Many of the clubs like Churchill Grounds and Blind Willie’s host top-name entertainers. Other clubs like the Punchline Comedy Club feature headline acts as well as impromptu entertainment. Dance clubs such as Club Kaya allow the visitor to experience a variety of music and dance, as this club is known for keeping abreast of the hottest and latest trends. Your choice of Latin, Hip-Hop, House or whatever else your into is available at one of the many dance clubs in Atlanta. Perhaps the most popular club in Atlanta is the Masquerade. The club is divided into three floors: Heaven, Hell and Purgatory, all of which are distinctively and appropriately decorated. Dance all night in Hell, slug down a weird shot in Purgatory or catch a live performance by internationally known musical acts.
