The South's most cosmopolitan city, Atlanta comes alive after dark with something for every taste. Widely acclaimed as Atlanta's best place to hear the blues, Blind Willie's is a fixture in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood. You'll think you're in New Orleans in this small, smoky club named for local bluesman Blind Willie McTell, but this is Atlanta's venue for the nation's biggest blues performers from Junior Wells to Taj Mahal.
If you into a more eclectic mix of rock options, head over to the Little Five Points neighborhood and the Star Community Bar. This small honky-tonk, complete with Elvis shrine, features everything from surf music to rockabilly to poetry readings. If the frenetic pace gets to you, take a break at the Little Vinyl Lounge, located downstairs.
Buckhead is the place to go for dance clubs. From '70s retro to the cutting edge of industrial and techno, you'll find it here. For a caffeine-charged nightcap, try Cafe Intermezzo, the European-style coffee house with two locations, both open from morning until late at night.
For the best in Atlanta comedy, you'll have to head to the 'burbs. The Punchline is the area's longest-running comedy venue, and books some of the best national headliners in the business. For home-grown humor, you can't do better than Laughing Matters, Atlanta's premiere improvisational troupe. They perform once a month at the Academy Theatre.
