Blake's On The Park

(564 Ratings)
Midtown's favorite

Serving the community since 1988, Blake's is the place to see and be seen. This place proves that some things like drag shows, go-go dancers, and karaoke stay classic despite the changing times.

Kicked out by the cops!

So since I can't write a review of the whole city, I'll note my experience here. I travel to a lot of cities for work, and my only day off is Monday, so Sunday night is the night for me and my coworkers to go see the gay bars and clubs. WELL, I guess there's some new law in Atlanta and bars have to close Sundays at midnight! At Blake's "last call" was at 11:30PM. At 11:50, a uniformed cop barged into the door, yelling "EVERYBODY OUT!," like we were a bunch of teenagers breaking the law, or worse, a bunch of gays congregating in public... oh wait. THIS ISN'T 1969! Why is the gay community standing for this? Not that I've been, but I wonder if the straight bars all over town get the same treatment. If Atlanta really wants to be the "Gay Capital of the South" as this site suggests, then clearly things need to change. The community needs to stand up and fight for itself... or else these bars, and the whole gay nightlife, will die.

Consistently fun when we come to Atlanta!

Cozy, packed and priced right- not to mention hotties and hunks :)

Not worth it

The only thing that made this trip worth it was the eye candy. This bar sucked, the crowd is very stuck up and no one talked to me both times I went. The bartenders were rude and the music sucked. The stage is like some tables they put at the front of the bar and the actual bar is bigger than the whole dang club. The bar sits in the middle of the room and you have a little space to walk around it or sit along the walls. Upstairs they have a smaller bar and it's less crowded, but it's too bare up there. They need more up there. The place was way too crowded as in people stepping on your toes crowded. I tapped people to let me by and they just rolled there eyes. So annoying that you have to be rude and push people just to get to the bathroom. The drinks were a little bit more expensive than Burkharts and all of the drag sucked, they pretty much just stood there, except one. She had a donk hunty and knew how to shake it lol. The host was not funny and laughed at his own jokes. Like I said the only thing worth coming for was the eye candy. It seemed like 70% of the crowd in there was fine gurl. When I say fine I mean both time I went there I left with my panties wet. I can see why it's crowded, but once again they're all stuck up anyways so nope, most likely not going back.
