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.
HORRIBLE DOOR EXPERIENCE...
Had been at Bulldogs eight months earlier and enjoyed it much. Looked for parking for 40 minutes (no exaggeration) and FINALLY found a space 3 or 4 blocks away. WALKED in cold weather to Bulldogs and as I approached the door when someone opened the door and said, "We're closing." It was just less than one hour before closing time. WHO would like the place much after this happening to them? For me it felt like reverse-discrimination but I thought it would not be fair to other employees/ownership to not report what this door person was doing. So I called three times until I talked to a manager and explained the situation. I believe had I been admitted to enter--it would have been a great time as it was before!
