Gay bars in Atlanta are almost entirely concentrated in Midtown, the neighborhood that has been considered the gay center of the city for decades. The intersection of Piedmont Avenue and 10th Street serves as a guide. The rainbow pedestrian traffic light there has been permanently marked since 2017 and is considered a landmark of the scene. Right on this corner is the X (also called Ten), a manageable shop with two bars and a dance floor. A few steps away is Blake's on the Park, an institution that has been around for almost forty years and is best known for its drag shows and mixed crowd of locals.
The rest of the range covers different preferences. Bulldogs is considered a dance bar with house and hip-hop and a rather young, mixed audience.

For quieter evenings, there's Woofs, Atlanta's only gay sports bar with dozens of screens, and My Sister's Room, one of the few lesbian-run bars in the U.S. Because almost everything is within walking distance, Midtown makes it easy to move from restaurant to restaurant in one evening.
