This basement-level music club went from secret local hideout to an always-packed theme night bar.

At one point in time the 10 High was Atlanta's undercover spot to catch highly buzzed, on-the-verge bands. Like a secret society, celebs like Andre 3000 and Butch Walker would...

Appalled that I saw the dark haired, goth, female bartender call security because a man wanted to sing a song by a female artist. She was horribly rude and obviously a bigot. My friends and I immediately got our check (which was wrong) and left....

Dark Horse was some good times back in the day. Nice mix of college, yuppie, and older crowd if I remember right. And EXTREMELY busy. One of the go to spots when I used to drink for sport.

The company prides itself on being a meeting place and not just a restaurant. It's a great location for the after-work, Saturday night and shopping crowds as well as a dinner spot. Visit...
