Just an all around different place, hard to park, and not terribly easy to shake the sense of the potential for negative things to occur... Not a place I want to go without a purpose and or business to conduct.Bring a TON of patience for parking and traffic woes..

It used to be OK, until the homeless started camping in the shadows of the Phoenix post office and around Fairley Street. Now the areas gone down hill. Real pity.

Seems to be where Atlantas homeless stays. You get hassled for change, have to step over people on the sidewalks, bodily waste in the parking decks. I work here, no place for sight seeing

I really like the area but it will confuse the hell out of you. Best way to maneuver down there is park your car and walk.

Good selection of restaurants in downtown. Homeless tend to favor this area due to concentration of people

Worked in this area for almost a year and while its nice enough as far as having lots to see and do, really getting a feel for Atlanta culture and food, there is a lot of crime and there are many [aggressive] homeless folks in the area. My company actually moved to another part of the city because of the incidents several employees had while parking their cars or walking through the area, myself included. I might be biased, as Im more into the small town living, so I suppose if you love the city life, these things may not be a big deal I just kind of thought the area was JUST okay lol

Its a nice place to gather during the day, specially in nice weather days. Sometimes is too crowded (I mean that more tables are needed) .You can frequently find some music there.Get your lunch at any of the amazing places there and find a seat outdoors to enjoy your meal or a good coffee

Review №22

Lovely little village bustling with fresh restaurants and plenty of outdoor seating. Can be a little busy at lunch time but their isnt a shortage of chairs either on the sidewalk or in the nearby square. The atmosphere is quiet and the strings of lights make it feel very tucked away even though its only a few blocks from the Westin hotel and Centennial Park

Great little place with an eccentric video playlist. Each day has its own theme, which you have to expierence to fully understand. The bartender was engaging and fun. Small pool table in the basement that is somewhat neglected, but expected. Menu has some hidden gems. Jalapeno mozzarella sticks were excellent.

Hey the food was great the servers were pleasant but not intrusive. Considering the area the prices were in keeping...$$$ Out of 4. I love that MARTA was only a block and a 1/2 away. Anything to avoid having to take a car and find parking.

Review №34

Its is on the great location where everyone is welcomed .The architecture of the building is marvelous. Tons of restaurants are nearby or within walking distance. Parking is a nightmare and good luck for finding one. Also if you find parking spot make sure remember or pin it on google because you might get easily lost at the night time. Also, make sure all your belongings are secure. Enjoy the city life.

This area would be better without the television and movie filming crews constantly taking up parking and their snooty security attendants claiming eminent domain.

I love this venue there is not a bad place to stand or sit on the entire show floor you can see from everywhere which is an amazing thing the downstairs bar area where they sell the merch is pretty neat they have a screen down there so you dont miss the concert and the smoking area outside gets a little crowded but all in all its very satisfactory as it creates social interaction

Nice and clean historic downtown where you will see cultural and food diversity. You will find open minded people who will accept you what you’re. Parking is free there on weekends but you have to pay on weekdays.

Nice strip to get something to eat with a variety of options. If you can disregard the unique characters that frequent, sleep, and use the streets as a restroom, it is nice. Abundance of professionals and students during the week.

Downtown Atlanta is full of little gems when you take the time to explore, some of the most upscale restaurants and amazing luxury hotels, awesome sights from the ground level or up above which ever you choose. Great for a stroll on your break for lunch or a weekend visit for a great event being held in the heart of the city, whichever one you are doing at the time, I know you will enjoy it. Depending on the weather and what event is being held at the time, be ready to dress accordingly, use our transit system MARTA, because traffic can get hectic and it makes it alot easier to navigate from one place to another and remember have FUN! Oh, and keep your eyes open, you never know who you may see in this Great city, my city Atlanta, Ga.

Less than I expected. Went 2 days because I felt I came in late the first night and it was rushed. The slices are huge which is a good thing, but the toppings both nights werent cooked through. Maybe its because of the toppings themselves being big, but I might as well have just gotten fresh pepperoni and put on them because they werent cooked.

While it was beautiful I thought the streets were narrow but it added to the charm and made it more walkable

Je
Review №87

Good for a walk, a meal, sports entertainment, a drink and a stroll through centennial Park with its musical fountain. Historical in the sense of late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Trams, trains and restored streets make this an accessible area, though hotel parking is proceeding and streets are crowded when a sports game is on. Ted Turners Montana grill is my favorite dining and drinking venue and the Mercedes Benz stadium is ultra modern; quite a contrast with the historic zone.

Review №98

Working downtown is amazing - I love walking over to food trucks at the park or catching a busker on Broadstreet and eating under the trees. There are some beautiful older buildings and unlike most of Atlanta there are the bones of a dense, walkable multi-use city that are quickly being built on. Its still a heavily GaState / downtown worker lunchtime area. Yes, it can feel sketchy and there are homeless folks around, but its changing quickly as new residential and office spaces are opening and folks are starting to hit some of the bars and restaurants after a show or game at the benz/state farm/tabernacle/Rialto.
