Disclaimer, I was a huge fan of the old Masquerade on North Ave.. As a live music bar, the new Masquerade does very well in providing a nice open floor space and great views of the stage, with the exception of the massive concrete columns. Bar service was fast and friendly and the acoustics were good. That being said, I dont feel it captures the original glory of the earlier location. Heaven and hell are not stacked on top of each other, they are across the courtyard. The courtyard area is a very convenient place to smoke if you are a smoker and easy entry back into the venue. The show was great!

The concert I saw was great, but the venue I feel like could have been better. The line to get in was very confusing. I stood in an empty parking garage for 40 minutes and then it turned out that there was a whole other line merging into the line I was in. It was also very hard to hear the singers of the bands I saw, I mostly just heard the music, which is good, but I also would like to hear the words being sung. Its not a venue that Im willing to drive 2 1/2 hours to go to again.

I can only attest to Heaven at The Masquerade, but this place is the holy grail of concert venues. Its spacious, clean, and I cannot adequately express just how amazing the bathrooms are! Theyre clean, all doors close and lock, its well lit, fully stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, and soap. The most amazing thing was there was NEVER a line out the door for the womens bathroom (like there is at every other venue).My only complaint is that the drink prices are out of this world. $8 for a hard apple cider? $15 for a long Island? Really? Crazy.There are a lot of excellent options as far as band watching. There are multiple balconies that offer all different views of the stage. Theres even random chairs and benches so you dont have to stand the entire time if you dont want to.

I always enjoy coming to this venue. The staff have been here for a long time and understand how the system needs to work. It’s become a staple for the majority of artists to make it their stop in Atlanta and therefore provides some quality shows. I’ve only been in Hell and Purgatory, but I know if those rooms are great, then the main room Heaven must be as well. Check out a show sometime!

Saw Failure here a couple weeks ago. First Masquerade show. Awesome venue! Sound was top notch, bar was great, and everyone was super friendly. Underground Atlanta feels sketchy, which is kinda cool for a rock club vibe, but was disconcerting to see cops stationed everywhere.

Im here every chance I can get, great environment. I have too many pics to post honestly. If you havent gone, your missing out. They even have $10 event parking. Rather I go alone or with friends its always welcoming

Nice cozy venue. Definitely feels a lot different than the old masquerade. Sound is amazing, not a bad view in the place. Staff were very attentive.

One of the better venues in the Atlanta area. I miss the old venue but upgrades were needed. Heaven always felt as if it would cave. New Masquerade has good acoustics and isnt quite as dirty as the old. My only gripe is the sound booth needs to be sectioned off better. Other than that, good place.

First time visiting this venue traveling from Nashville and I loved it! Sucks they took my pepper spray but their security is good and reasonable without being harassing. Will definitely travel here another 5 hours to see one of their great shows!

First visiting after they moved. Never knew this place existed downtown but the venue was good. There was two coolers of free water in the back which I appreciated so much!! The bar never got too crowded which was good. There was one obnoxious kid in the crowd and I told security about him. They watched him for a while and asked him to leave the crowd. Which I also appreciated so much! He was making it hard to enjoy the DJ on stage....

Great indoor concert venue! Hell has a good bar, good speakers, decent bathroom, and some upstairs viewing area. No seats on the main level, so we can pack in close for the headliner. They have some great bands lined up this year! Looks like Ill be back in April for another metal concert.

For those of us that spent half our youth in the old masquerade.... this was an interesting change up. Both in location and overall venue concept. They did what they had to do when the club relocated and theres no complaints overall...it just needs time to adjust.

We had a great time seeing The Interrupters at Heaven! The security check made hanging out in the alley nice and unrushed as we located Heaven. The venue was nice sized and we had a great view of the band. The sound was great as well. Easy to find and decent ticket prices.

Not a bad venue. Smaller for sure. Saw Sevendust there and they killed it. Standing room only unless you buy VIP. I dont drink but they had beer and mixed drinks. Parking was easy and affordable ($10) The venue itself is in downtown Atlanta so it can be tricky to get to. Not a bad place to see a show.

Had an amazing time at the venue, dancing to Mayer Hawthorne and Tuxedo!Great, personal venue with terrific sound.Worth seeing bands you love, up close and personal.Recommend this venue.Note-The surrounding area of Underground is sketchy at night, so be alert and travel safely.

Always a great time in Heaven. Love the show. Everything was cool. Recommend if you purchase meet and greet tickets be there at least an hour before doors. Just a heads up. Had a blast their crew is on point.

Cool place, Ive seen some of my favorite artists here, never been disappointed, the people are very kind and accommodating. The set up is kind of strange, its like a parking garage that leads to a open space, then there are three buildings there, each building is a different stage. I love the atmosphere and Ive never been to a concert there that cost more than $30. I think I can confidently say this is my favorite venue.

I saw Shawn James and he was awesome. He even came out and had a few drinks before the show with a few of his fans. When the opening act was on stage, he had a booth in the back of the room where he was signing autographs and selling pictures and T-shirts and he was very laid back and down-to-earth. My boyfriend was totally charmed by him because hes totally in love with his music and Shawn James humored some of the crazy questions that my boyfriend had. Overall it was a very memorable experience.

Fun venue and staff is usually pretty friendly. Theres a large courtyard in between all the stages thats nice to hang out in. Expect to be patted down upon entry. Its not in a great area of town, but the venue itself is usually pretty safe. Parking is $12 in the deck, but the deck has easier access to the venue than the street parking.

Saturday night small concerts and cheerful crowd is the spirit of The Masquerade. This place is the signature of the hip and pop culture of Atlanta and is really a place to be when you are young and want to enjoy the musical life of Atlanta. But the accessibility and lack of connection to other things makes it quite a complex place to be after the concert just ended. Overall a nice place but could be better.

Great new venue. My friends and I went to see Caravan Palace here on Halloween. I had not been to the venue since they relocated to underground Atlanta. I have to say I surprised at how nice it was. It’s a fairly large venue with plenty of bars. You are free to go outside and come back with a wristband. There were some food carts and other vendors outside, so that was nice. Overall a very good experience.

Enjoyed the concert. Only issue was the doors opened about 30 min later than advertised but the venue was good.

I went here for the free Migos concert during the Super Bowl festivities and this was by far the best free concert I have ever attended in my life. The venue was amazing, the sound from the speakers was intense and two free drinks were right on point. I would definitely go to more concerts and other events here.

Fun venue and staff is usually pretty friendly. Theres a large courtyard in between all the stages thats nice to hang out in. Expect to be patted down upon entry. Its not in a great area of town, but the venue itself is usually pretty safe. Parking is $12 in the deck, but the deck has easier access to the venue than the street parking.

I miss the old place, but this is a much nicer venue. The sound from the floor wasnt too bad, parking was hassle free, and very close. It took me less than five minutes to get back to my car. I did notice that when the Bands that are not expected to draw a big crowd, the upper balcony sections where the seating is will be corded off, so expect to stand for about three hours. It only took about twenty minutes between band changes, which surprised me.

Awesome place to catch a show or two. Lots of great Heavy Metal bands big or small perform here! Staff can be kinda rude at times but then again what would you expect from some of these people? They deal with a bunch of drunks a lot of times! Still recommend since theyve been keeping the new place nice and maintained it seems like.

Amazing vibes for the Protoje and Lila Ike show!! Great service at the door and the bar!

This was my first time going to the new location at Underground Atlanta and I have to say it is very cool. I was surprised by how they managed to recapture Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell from the original Masquerade across a relatively large courtyard. The parking seemed fairly safe as well, incase that concerns you. If a band you like is playing here definitely go. I will be back.

My daughter had so much fun seeing Set It Off. I enjoyed the venue!

The Venue itself was awesome. Im usually not a fan of barricades, but it was pretty awesome being able to see the bands from almost ant distance or angle. The entry process was pretty reasonable as well. That being said, this neighborhood is sketchy during the day and much worse at night. You cant really find the venue and parking is a mess. Underground Atlanta is a wasteland and The Masquerade is pretty much the only thing down there anymore. Id stay way unless youre in a large group but even then, its pretty crazy down there.

The concert and venue was amazing. I overheated during the concert and nearly fainted. But a crowd member and the security acted fast and helped me out the door. Then the security guard fed me and gave me water. Miyavi was awesome and everyone there was really friendly and looking out for each other

Best shows in atlanta! Three venues all with their own unique feel. I come here once every month or two and would come all the time if I lived closer. Always a good experience.

Great venue to see bigger UK bands in a small place. IDLES were magnificent!

Great evening! Took my daughter to her first concert there.

Just saw the best show ever! One Ok Rock never disappoints! What a great night! The Masquerade is non smoking, but can get pretty crowded and a little claustrophobic, but the new location does not leave me worried about the floor caving in!

Super cool concert venue and there are ALWAYS amazing bands playing here.

Awesome venue, rather small makes more the experience more personable. Dont try to park your Harley Davidson in the parking area they wont let you. My wife and I rode from the south side to Atlanta on my Harley the back way are there was ample parking animal places to eat really hard a great the time.

Always an excellent time. The staff are friendly and helpful. The best place to watch a show. We saw the Interrupters with Rat Boy and Masked Intruder and had an awesome time.

Went to Amber Liu concert here. Had the time of my life.

Security is a joke I showed my tickets and my ID and they stamped my hand. I asked if I needed a wrist band for being over 21 and was told “No that’s what the stamp is for”. I said ok went on to order drinks and before the main artist preformed a security guard grabbed my drink out of my hand and asked me “.How old are you.” I told him I was 23 and asked why he took my drink and he informed me me and my boyfriend we were being kicked out because we looked under 21 and I didn’t have a wristband (he did I didn’t) I was obviously upset as we paid a good amount of money to come here so I showed him my ID and told him I was over 21 and security didn’t give me a wristband and as soon as I started talking I got told to “calm down” and listen to them, they didn’t even give me a chance to say anything.They took my drink poured it out and didn’t let me back in all because they couldn’t do their job and give wristbands at the door and I looked under 21 to them even though I tried to show them my ID to show them I wasn’t . So we wasted the money and couldn’t even see who we paid for. So many better concert venues in Atlanta.

My first time coming here. I really enjoyed the concert but they should have more people working the crowd as people start pushing their way to the front or just completely ignore the fact you are standing in a spot. Also their upper level and “VIP” section are not clearly marked and quite confusing. But overall we had a great time!BTW short people beware, my view was limited.

Love this venue alot. Ive been to shows in Heaven and Hell and both have a unique vibe that makes for a great experience. Im not much of a pit guy so having balconies in both rooms is very nice. Sound is incredible. Bar prices are not too bad. Definitely catch a show next chance you get!

Great venue!! Some of the best bands around play here. They each let you get close to the stage, and management and staff are all pretty good. Pay attention to the website where they post all the bands that will play!

This is one of my favorite concert venues in Atlanta. I was a frequent visitor of the old masquerade and my first time visiting the new masquerade i was skeptical. I think the new one is great, Its in a perfect location, the idea of the heaven, hell, and purgatory feels the same, and the concert are priced well with a staff that does there jobs efficiently.

Best place to get up close and personal!

Great venue. Ive been coming here for years. I thought I would miss the old place but this place is great. The staff if wonderful as well.

Love the venue! Went and saw Nao there and it was awesome! It has 2 levels with a bar on each level.

I was there and saw jinjer I loved the performance, it was smaller than I thought it would be, but in hell everyone gets to know each other 10/10 would go there again

Went to see NAO solo last week. I just moved to GA and do not live in the city. Had no problem finding the venue as people headed that direction are friendly. Concert was amazing and i never once felt unsafe, enjoyed venue. Will check out what other artist they have coming soon.

It was absolutely amazing. Great friendly staff. The music and lights were spectacular. I would totally recommend going to The Masquerade for a concert.

Good shows still, bar staff always seems like they have better stuff to do. Liked the old venue better. RIP

First time in the new venue. Absolutely love it!! Great staff, fast bartenders, clean restrooms, awesome sound and totally chill vibe!! Love the courtyard and the atmosphere. Felt safe and at home the entire time. We enjoyed seeing Bad Religion in this venue so much that as soon as we got home we started looking for another show to see there!

This is a good venue for fresh live music. Its too bad underground is eerily quiet except for masquerade! The parking deck is easy and convenient but a bit pricey.

This is a great place to see live music. The are no seats and is standing room only. There is floor level and then an upstairs with railing.

The 3 venues themselves are pretty nice and easy to get around. Sound is good too. purgatory is the least enjoyable of the three. The area around the masquerade is nothing but homeless people and vacant properties. How does a big city like ATL allow a whole side of the city to become such a spectacular failure. It would be a higher rating but the walk back outside is so depressing and I cant exclude that from part of the experience.

I LOVE to see shows in this venue. Its close and personal

I love going to shows at the masquerade great staff and a great venue

Saw Half Alive there it was awesome! I want to go to more concerts at the masquerade so I can continue to enjoy the acoustics. Woah!

Nice views all around!! In heaven. Thanks Incubus!

Weve been here several times and overall things seem to run really well. We never miss bands because of crazy lines or have a hard time getting in. The location is really great too. Easily accessible from the Five Points station.

Was a fan of the old Masquerade, and honestly this one is just as good if not better. Much better location thats easier to access and I love having the balcony to watch the show in the Hell section. Will continue to attend shows in the future.

Had a spectacular evening with some amazing Scandinavian metal bands!

Purgatory its small but nice, clean and always has good sound no matter whos playing

Amazing staff that helped the best they could to make our boys concert go smoothly

Great space for any show like the RAW Atlanta show. Masquerade can accommodate most shows. Also, the set up is cool with the heaven and hell concept.

Awesome and Amazing Girls Night Out

Attended Masego Concert 1 week ago. Staff NOT friendly. Sound horrible. Drowned out sounding speakers. Unorganized, too small to hold a MASEGO CONCERT. He will definitely have to perform at a much LARGER VENUE. There was no kind of order, which caused chaos. Barred off area near stage got out of hand between patrons not having enough standing space and unable to see concert performers. And, security and patrons (concert attendees) got into a verbal altercation, which totally destroyed the vibe, because security staff was literally pushing patrons back roughly flashing bright lights in their faces to move back yelling directly in their face in a bully type of way. Not a good experience. It was my FIRST TIME at this venue. Will NEVER go again.

The venue is awesome and intimate with balcony view of the stage makes you feel like a part of the show on stage!

Awesome multi-level space. Saw my ultimate favorite band Caravan Palace here!

Had a blast at Heaven section. Employees were quite nice, in particular the woman in the photo. Security ...well, recommend a band brings their own security if they want to be protected, but going to nudge it aside as people attending were pleasant (but likely depends on your show, I went to an Industrial one). Sounds was good, Stage was easy to see.

Awesome place. Great performances!

Small intimate venue, holds about 700 people. Has a mezanine level. Saw Bryce Vine there. Was amazing.

We went to see 3 bands and I am in a wheelchair. The staff there made sure I could get in the venue and then made sure I could see the show. When the show was over they even helped me back out to the elevator safely.

New location is pretty cool. Cant bring food or dinks into the courtyard, which I thought was kind of stupid considering there is no longer food in underground Atlanta.

Getting Frisky Frisked by the guards is my favorite part of coming here. Saw Jeff Rosenstock here in January 2019 and it was cool. Old Masquerade was better. Heaven and Hell are the better sections of the three. Purgatory seems like just that...purgatory.

Its alright, the sound in purgatory was pretty good, Ill always miss the old masquerade tho

Great venue to see a band. Small but mighty! Full bar and good PA. Show flow was great (not a lot of waiting between bands). Hell is a fun space.

At the Raw art show, pretty nice. Glad they didnt cancel it because of the C-virus.

The venue is cool. If you need an ADA area, ask in advance. The main con are the lines and how they flow. If they work out logistics itll be a much be better experience.

Hard to find the entrance. lines were poorly managed. and venue was kinda small but still enjoyed the concept and was impressed they provided free water

The masquerade has been a staple in the Atlanta music scene and our crew grew up going to shows there. A large part of our team have played shows there too! We love and support this place forever!

Love love love this venue! Such an immersive experience from the floor, to the balcony to the staff. It’s conveniently located right in the Underground and there’s always a great show to catch at one of the three spaces (Heaven, Hell and Purgatory) This was our second time seeing Aminé here and it was a show like no other. DO NOT SLEEP ON AMINÉ!! lol. Literally such a fulfilling and memorable experience and I will gladly return sometime soon You’re beautiful!

Place is going down hill. Ticket fees are higher here than anywhere else. 10$ for a cheap beer. If you like corporate places that dont care about the musicians this is the place for you. Unfortunately I have to go here to see shows, but no one likes it....

I had a great time here! Cool atmosphere!

Great Club! They changed the location from the last time I was there in the late 1980s. It used to be in an old three-story building; each floor played different music. The top floor was called Heaven, the middle floor Purgatory and the bottom floor (or basement) was Hell.

I saw Digable Planets last summer. It was so cool. Nice vibe. Ladybug Mecca was burning sage on stage ️. Many different kinds of people from different walks of life there enjoying and reminiscing in the 90s alternative rap flows. It was amazing. I was so giddy and excited. Very cool venue.

The space was nice enough. Security was great though. I accidentally left something in my gear bag and the guy there was thorough enough to find it. He wasnt a d*** about it either. Went and left it in the car and all was good.

I have had really positive experiences in Purgatory but last night was my first time in Hell. It was a fun show but if you have any accessible needs it would be a nightmare. Not one place to sit in the whole venue. At least a bench somewhere come on yall.

Sam Abernathy killed it on sound Styper and Still Warning sounded KILLER. The staff is AMAZING AND SO HELPFUL YOU GUYS ROCK!

Was there for second nite Sevendust and Otherwise show and was really impressed. Read some odd reviews being critical but I found the sound exceptional, staff really friendly and the venue clean and quite impressive. Definitely not what I expected. I look forward to my next show there.

Loved the venue, gonna go again the 14th of February 2020 for another concert and possibly other future concerts! Worth a five-hour drive from Pensacola FL.

Best part of the move is upgraded air conditioning!

Usually awesome sound, easy entering process ( they check for weapons normally), safe, never had or seen any incidents, most of the time theres food stands and beer is mid level, 16oz cans imported cost me 7, local I believe is 6 or less, depending on the beer. Did I mention sound is amazing? Staff is great and cortious.

This was an awesome place to jam!! I went here with friends for emo night 2020 and it was soooo awesome. I have never been to a concert or anything like this and it was soo good. The atmosphere of the place really just felt good and felt right. I definitely hope I can attend more stuff at this place again

Such a cool venue. Was not able to go to the original location but loved the spot in underground atlanta. Right by the parking deck which was perfect. Saw a show at the hell venue which was nicely sized and intimate.

A fun music venue with an outdoor plaza entrance. Drinks are overpriced, but thats expected.

Nice venue, large on the inside, clean restrooms, security was on point medal detectors plus wanding people I felt so safe

God i love the masquerade so much. although i miss 695 north ave, the essence is surely captured in the new venue anyway. keeping mostly the same staff definitely helped. love everyone who works there.

Friendly bartenders. The venue stays cool. Great place for a show

Cozy venue. Atlanta underground is a little sketchy but this is a great intimate venue
