I went to lore twice in the past two weeks, one was for the heated rivalry watch party and the other was the heated rivalry dance party. it was my first time visiting lore and i had a good time. for a bar in atlanta the mixed drinks were affordable (ranging 10-14) and the door fee for the dance party was only 10 dollars and the door fee for the watch party was free! rare to see those prices in Atlanta. the vibes were nice, dance floor was spacious. love the bartenders and dj. excited to come back!

Went to a burlesque show here in the upstairs area and it was fantastic. I will definitely be returning for more events. I found parking in the neighborhood nearby about a block away on a weekday evening. No need to pay the $20 in the paid lot down the street.

My FAV queer bar/club in ATL. There's always an event going on (I go to the drag shows and dance parties), tons of room, and prices are generally affordable. Will also add that the heated rivalry dance party especially was the most fun i've had i think ever in my life

I have not only had an incredible amount of fun each time I've been to Lore, each visit has been a unique experience, which is impressive given that it's only been open a couple weeks. DJ's have been incredible, the audio quality is ::chef's kiss::, and the overall atmosphere oozes cool but never crossing the line into being pretentious. I also love that they have tables downstairs and a great outdoor lounge area if you're looking to take a break from the boogie. I cannot recommend Lore enough. Just a heads up: Their events do vary pretty wildly though, so I would definitely check their socials to see what's going on each week.

my new go-to queer inclusive and welcoming spot in Atlanta! If you liked the music at the Basement (RIP), expect even better vibes here! Great drinks, friendly staff, and tons of room to hang out. Events nearly every night of the week, and so much fun!

Wow - another great spot in Edgewood and in a thoughtfully reimagined space on a popular intersection in Atlanta. The lower level has easy access to the bar, and a dance floor! We came here for the drag show with Lexi Love and will definitely be making Lore part of the queer ATL rotation (along with Pisces and Mary’s). Great music, great atmosphere, and great drag.

Lore offers a premier entertainment experience in Atlanta, featuring expertly crafted mixed drinks, exceptional DJs, and top-tier drag performances. The stunning downstairs area, highlighted by the spectacular disco ball (Lola), sets a vibrant atmosphere. Upstairs, a distinct ambiance complements the high-quality, professionally produced shows. The dance floor's exceptional A/C and dynamic lighting system create an unparalleled atmosphere. This inclusive venue addresses a significant need within the community.
