eh, okay

Decent place and extremely crowded on a Friday night. It was okay but nothing special. Drinks were good and very strong. The crowd wasn't very welcoming.

The place for black men

Patrons of Bulldogs are almost entirely black men, but I'm ok with that since I'm a white guy who likes black men. I felt mostly welcomed, although one guy suggested I might like Blake's better. Some might feel uncomfortable in this environment. Thursday night after 11 was packed, and the small dance floor was really hopping! Sat night after 11 was surprisingly quiet, though. I'll definitely go back the next time I'm in ATL.

ONLY BLACK MEN

I visited this place as i wa told it a great place to visit. My friends back home in th Caribbean all said its a cool place. However when i arrrive with my white friend from atlanta, everyone was watching and he was the only white guy in the place and he felt so uncomfortable that we left just after 20 minutes we arrive. I would not recommend a white person to go to this bar as if u do u will feel so out of place. I am black and i felt so funny for my friend. I think they need a more mix there. Also the place look like a shanty town in Jamaica. Also there is US 10 parking and US 5 entrance what a waste of money going there. I will not go back.

My Favorite Spot

The first time I went to Bulldogs was in 1993, back when it was mostly leather, and I have been going ever since. I've seen how it has re-invented itself throughout the years and have adapted very well to each change. The drinks are strong like I like them, the security team is very friendly and efficient, I'm long time buddies with the bartenders and the DJ's are great, especially Andre'. The cover charge is the cheapest in the city and location is very convenient. I just wish they could expand the building because its jam packed Wednesday-Saturday.
