The good old days are gone

It pains me to say this, but The Den isn't what it used to be. The owner is nice, a very cool guy, and very friendly. Since it's inception it has been in 3 locations that I know of. The first two were in Decatur. The first location was the best (in my opinion) and was always packed, but I only went on weekends at the time. I was dissapointed at first when they moved to the other location in Decatur, but I grew accustomed to the new place. That location stayed full as well even throughout the week. This new location in Midtown is the biggest disappointment. The loyal customers migrated there at first, but they soon fizzled out. Especially when other options started to pop up. Midtown is a nice locale, but it is overrated. I could understand if you were opening a restaurant, but for this type of venue it is NOT the place. There have been big compromises to stay relevant such as allowing out of shape men, old guys, and now it is now longer just for men of color (which I don't mind that). It does go down on Labor Day Weekend because out of towners don't know any better. I would suggest he pack that place up ASAP, go back to his old business model, and move back to where his core and loyal patrons reside. Also, they need to embrace the digital age and get on social media. You have to get the word out if you are going to stay in Midtown. But hey, I guess he feels he is doing what is best. So I guess I will always have the good old memories from the south side.

Its time has past

This place used to be located in the Decatur area and was a hot place to be on Friday's and Saturdays back in 2010. Nice selection men and always sex. However it was shut down due to to zoning issues. It reopened in Atlanta off Cheshire-Bridge Rd. It is in a cavernous facility with all the amenities one needs. But the clientele has gotten to be more trollish and caters more to old out of shape dudes. The only night really worth going is a Sunday during their BUTT-NAKED NIGHT and you will see decent dudes only because its $5 for the 1st 25 dudes or during the pride weekends. The owner submits false reviews on his website making it appear as though the club is busy.. Its mid-day sessions are a waste of time and money. he may have a total of 5 - 8 guys none of which are worth it. You would be better off going to peek a boo or Insurrections. This club is no longer hot. most of the homegrown parties have taken over...

I guess It is Atlanta's Best kept Secret

This place is a private club that caters to African American and Hispanic men. It's friendly, clean, and off the chain. I won't go into too much detail but you will go home sore and fulfilled. The one complaint it that it's a bit too dark.
