I went to a May The Force Be with You event last night. I like the location, I like the layout...mostly. But the drink prices... HOLYSHEET! those are the most expensive drinks I have ever had at a nightclub. Maybe I am just out of touch with booze prices at clubs, but my first rum & Coke was $15 using well rum . My Second was $26. Same sized glass, but 2 shots instead of one, AND it was Bacardi, not well rum, but I'm used to paying $8 for a well rum & coke, and maybe $12 for premium. Almost double the price. Maybe want to pull back a little... As for the layout, it's mostly well done, but access to the patio is restricted to 2 narrow hallways to get to the front to get outside. I have heard this place can get shoulder to shoulder on busy nights, and these hallways would definitely be a bottleneck for moving back and forth in the club. Met a very personable guy named Chris, who apparently helped build the space for the club and is one of the owners/managers. They had LOTS of staff on hand, maybe almost twice what I would have expected. All were very nice and friendly. I guess having that much staff is the reason for the high drink prices.

Been here many times before and loved it. BUT went to an event last night and I definitely won't be back for a very long time. We were promised 25% capacity and that masks were absolutely mandatory. Since they didn't use the upper level and no one was hanging out in the outdoor areas, everyone was crammed onto the main dance floor. By 12:30 it was as packed as it ever has been, maybe more so. In addition to that, at least 15% of the crowd wasn't wearing masks. Maybe even more. Being in a crowded indoor space with dancing cheering people ... no thank you. I wouldn't have bought tickets if I had known masks were optional and that we'd all be packed nearly shoulder to shoulder. They did refund my tickets when I spoke to the manager on duty. However, I take issue with being promised protocols would be in place when there was very clearly no intention or interest in actually implementing them. Photo and video taken right before we left so you can make your own evaluation.

Was entertaining some friends who liked the music for a DJ that was there so decided to give it a shot. We were a little leery at 1st but were actually handled/treated quite well by the staff. (Particularly the manager (Stefan/Stephen), and several of the security/bouncers were very nice/friendly) We had one small situation where the gal (Mar was her name) at the front taking the money and giving the wrist bands got her wires crossed and was a bit rude.. and then some young man was being very loud/obnoxious about anyone messing with her and went into theatrics about it. We just walked away as it was pretty unnecessary/embarrassing. Other than that, the venue was nice. We had a good view, the light show and music were great. We felt safe and everything went well. Thank You District for providing a fun and safe environment to listen to music! :)

In my couple of years of living in Atlanta, District has quickly become my favorite club to party at. Their sound and light production is amazing. They have crowd management down to a science. Even when attending a crowded, sold out show, I find that I am always able to move about the club with relative ease. Sure, some of the staff can come off militant but guess what - I have always felt safe when partying here. I especially love the orb lights above the dance floor. The bartenders are always friendly but efficient. My one critique is that coat check was quite chaotic during this past winter season. I don’t understand why it should take 30 minutes (not an exaggeration) to get through coat check at the end of the night when everyone has a coat ticket number? The coats should theoretically be arranged in that ticket number order…

I have been here several times but most recently I came to see Charlotte De Witt. I paid extra to be able to go upstairs where I thought I would have full access to the entire balcony but that is not the case. Most of the balcony area is blocked off for VIP tables. Luckily I was able to get a group of guys with a table to let me stand at the rail by their table, so I ended up having a good time but if you don't have a table, good luck getting a view of the dance floor. This place gets way too crowded though and all the previous times I came, I didn't have a good time because of that. The sound system is good. The bathrooms are good. I pre-game so I have never bought a drink here. I park on the side streets for free.

BEWARE!!! My friends and I went to the district last night and we were targeted by a security guy saying that we were “too drunk” and that either we have to leave or pay him $20 per person (we were pretty sober, just trying to have fun). We were literally just trying to go to the restroom but I guess that’s against the rules. The security guy was extremely rude and cursing up a storm while I was calmly trying to talk about what the hell is happening. We ended up talking to the owner and he allowed us back in, but in the end I felt uncomfortable after the situation. Felt like they have a scheme/targeting thing going on so I just want to bring that awareness. I would’ve put 1 Star but the venue itself is really nice.

Went to see Bonobo this weekend. The starting DJ was a local talent that did an amazing job ysheso I think her name was. Great set. Bonobo went on at right at midnight. His set was at least three hours. Haven’t danced that much in a while. Staff and bartenders were great. Even security was kind. So confused by other people’s reviews saying they have no where to sit. There’s an open lounge type area by the indoor bar with seating and there are nooks where you can take a rest near the sides of the dance floor. The lighting is spectacular and their laser show seems to have gotten better than from what I remember before. This is definitely the place to go for EDM dancing.

First time back at District in a while and I was very pleased. Went last night to see Inzo. Great music, great crowd, and very friendly people. It did get a bit crowded deeper into the night but it wasn’t overwhelmingly crowded. I’m a little indifferent about the mandatory 20% tip at the bar. I was writing out like a 22% tip but noticed they had already charged it which kinda caught me off guard. The female bartender with the glasses in the bar behind the crowd was super friendly and made great drinks! Also, these lasers weren’t there the last time I came and they were such a great addition

Says on their website that VIP tickets allowed to access to their balcony “front and center of the rail” but after arriving and trying to stand front and center of the balcony we were told we had to stay behind a roped off portion of the balcony in the corners and that the middle section was reserved for tables. So definitely misleading information online. Would not recommend buying VIP tickets here as the only benefit is you get to be on the balcony but are forced to a corner with a great view of a pole.

I like this place for the music experiences and the lighting on the ceiling. I go to experience music with a large digitizer on the ceiling. Not looking for much else. The drinks have been good, but I’ve only ever ordered two. I think it’s mainly a place for groups—most people come with their friends it seems. And. It feels safe enough. Smoking is outside so inside smells pretty clear. Last great experience was JVNA. There is a dance floor and people dance! It’s awesome. I will try VIP at some point and capture imagery from that POV.

It’s disappointing that I read several other reviews of people who have had a similar experience. Went to District on 07/08/23 to meet some friends. It was crowded but I was having a good time until out of nowhere a security person approached me and asked me to leave with little to no explanation. I asked him why he was asking me to leave and the only response I got from him was “don’t make this hard on me”.

Was cool. Had good reasonably priced drinks. Went by myself to see Kill the Noise. The lights that move with the music are a good touch. I'm personally hesitant to go back (by myself anyway) because a security guard falsely kicked me out near the end (despite her suspicions it wasn't handled well in my opinion and felt targeted). Tabernacle is better but I'd come back here with a friend maybe.

1st timer here. Attended Cosmic Gate this past Friday, and it was awesome. The only downside, the size of the venue. Pics on here give you the impression you're going in an endless room... not the case at all. Whenever I needed some room, I just stepped out on the patio, which is a huge bonus. All in all, we had a good time.

Paid 12 dollars for water to be told I cannot leave the premises with the bottle because if I got into a car accident and die they don’t want their branding involved. This was after I told the female security guard I was taking a Uber and would not be driving.

Sat night was awesome. Paul Van Dyk performed the was he normally does. Amazing venue. We enjoyed it. Employees worked great together and communicated very well with customers. Drinks were great. Not daluted. District of Atlanta will go along way. Definitely will be coming back again.

Friday night was my first time going to District Atlanta. Was a nice experience. The staff was really friendly. We got VIP tickets to see Nora en pure, she was amazing, but we didn't see anything special getting VIP tickets.

Didn't eat there so neutral opinion on that, bar looked well stocked with no line so a plus there. The atmosphere and set-up of the venue was excellent.

I absolutely love this venue and recommend it over any other venue - but the fact you need to pay $6 per bottle of water is insane
