Nightlife

The nightlife areas can be divided into some main areas… Virginia Highlands or just Highlands with plenty of bars, Midtown with plenty of clubs/lounges, Buckhead with bars and clubs, Decatur with mainly bars. Then there are some venues which are around the perimeter or further out.
All of the places are ok for Friday and Saturday… the “when” column indicates if they are open and also crowded on regular weekdays (Su-Th).

Also look at the link below for google maps. It will show you most of the places on this list on the map.
