Amsterdam Cafe, refreshingly, is the kind of bar where just about anyone might feel welcome. It's mostly a guys' spot, but women often hang out here, and you'll see a nice mix of ages, styles, races, and so on. Part of the draw is the variety of diversions, including a nice section with pool tables—Amsterdam Cafe feels a bit like a laid-back sports bar during the week especially after workbut it draws more of a crowd on weekends.

There's also a casual restaurant serving sandwiches, wraps, and gay. Some of the Eagle gay bars in the world have become fairly standard cruise bars over the years, but the Atlanta Eagle remains true to its roots—an authentic leather-and-Levi's bar, in a city that still has a loyal following for this sort of a hangout.

This is pretty much ground-central for bears, cubs, leather daddies, and hard-core cruisers. This spot gets bonus points for having a very fun-loving staff. Init moved into a custom-built facility that highlights natural light, and you'll find the long-running contemporary American restaurant Bacchanalia.

BJ Roosters moved into a larger and more attractive space injust mix the street from its former location in a shopping mall it's now a neighbor of another long-running bar in these parts: Heretic Atlanta.

For fans of male Latino strippers, who make up a substantial percentage of the go-go staff, BJs is nirvana. If that's the sort of thing that gets your blood flowing, don't miss this place. There was a time when Blake's on the Park, despite its attractive decor with exposed-brick walls and cheerful sun porch as well as its appealing location near Piedmont Park and several good restaurants, seemed a bit too stuck up for its own good.

And true enough, gay still draws an awfully pretty bunch of boys and more than a few girls. But the attitude has softened a bit over the years, and once you fight your way past the occasional posse of plastics, you'll find some genuinely friendly barflies here and very nice staff. There's no question that it's a highly popular place and a good bet for visitors trying to get a sense of the gay Atlanta scene.

There are a few different spots to settle in with a drink and mingle or cruise, but in the warm weather, the atlanta patio is the best place to congregate. Although the clientele is predominantly Black, the staff and crowd couldn't be more welcoming of all kinds, whatever your race.

Situated beside the retro-fabulous and surprisingly well-maintained Cheshire Motor Inn on slightly seedy Cheshire Bridge Road, The Colonnade has been delighting fans of old-school Southern cooking since there's a great picture of some of the restaurant's vintage menus on the website.
