Can be fun or seriously overcrowded
On my first visit here, my friend decided that we should meet everyone at the bar, so...around it we went. MOST everyone was friendly and cool. We even dragged a cute boy along with us til his bf came. Oops! It's fun. Check it out.
It is what it is
If you're expecting rough and rugged, go somewhere else. But what you get here makes JRs in DC look like the Eagle. This is attitude with a capital A - and they show it, baby. So if you're wanting cheap drinks, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, trolls, old music, and bad parking - then you better go somewhere else.
Good mix...crowd and drinks!
Just dropped in early and it was reasonably crowded on a Wednesday night. Bartenders friendly and talkative, made sure to welcome me back when I had to leave quickly. This place is VERY gay, btw. Crowd was more diverse than other reviews indicated and drinks were not measured - thankfully.
I LOVE BLAKES!
I'm a New Yorker and visit ATL often, I always stop by Joe's on Jupiter before turning the party out at Blakes and a couple of other hotspots - everyone has always been nice to me, drinks are good, and it's a great place to mingle. The Drag Queens are hilarious (minus one, but no names) and they're good entertainers. Check it out!
Midtown has many gay hot spots...
Midtown has many gay hot spots, and Blake's on the Park is still one of them. Blake's originally opened in 1987 at the intersection of 10th Street and Piedmont Road. Since then, Blake's has been one of Midtown's most popular neighborhood gay bars. Recent renovations have improved Blake's and made this "stand and model" zone a more comfortable place to hang out. The drag shows are hysterical, and the crowd couldn't be cuter. <p><strong>Insider Tip:</strong> Don't miss the Drag Races on Monday night, Drag Gone Wild on Tuesday, Divas Live on Thursday, and Bingo on Friday.
