A staple in Atlanta. They have a bar in the main room with a DJ and they have a bar and DJ in the small room. So you can choose with vibe you want or go back and forth. They have a patio that stays packed! Great place for dancing! A lot of great memories I have had in that place!

Love this spot! Always a good time with my friends … cheap shots even though after 5 felt nowhere near tipsy🤔🥴 bartender yelling tips is how she makes her money was crazy to me like sis you would’ve gotten it eventually 😑so I thought that was very rude and unnecessary esp the fact that we still waited patiently each time we got to the bar!Anyways! nice spot otherwise.

This is such a cute little club, it really tries to cater to everyone and has no specific vibe, but very inclusive. And speaking of inclusivity, this was the first club Ive ever seen with so many disabled folks and its so awesome that they are able to still enjoy themselves.The cocktails are insanely cheap compared to other clubs

Hands down the most welcoming, hyped, fun places I visited in Atlanta!! Was a bit sceptical but once I got in I absolutely loved it! This place was Poppin! When they say all humans welcome, they mean it! We went back two nights in a row!

This place is whole vibe! 3 different rooms with 3 different bars and 3 different DJ’s. You can curate your vibe based on which room you went to. The only downside is getting in took wayyyy longer than it had to. There are 2 lines of entry; ticket or no ticket. They would not open the no ticket line at all if there was anyone in the ticket line so waiting to enter was a bit longer than expected. I would go again, but making sure to have a ticket.

If I could give 0 stars I would! I’ve been to MJQ a couple of times and didn’t have a bad experience but when I decided to bring my sister and cousin for my cousins birthday everybody was rude as hell! From the girl at the front door taking the cash to the security guards! We go inside and clearly the bartender is on drugs, most likely cocaine! Eyes buck wide, can barely function and rude as hell too! She pours my sister drink out and then refuses to serve my sister because my sister was paying her the exact price because who’s about to tip you for being rude! She tells my sister “we don’t take exact change”. What establishment doesn’t take exact change! I asked her to get the owner or just send another bartender down here just to diffuse the situation because clearly like I said before she was on something! She sends another bartender down and as she’s making my sister drink the other bartender comes back talking trash this time and her and my sister gets into it! The owner comes behind the bar with his cocked eyes and asks if “we’re threatening his bartender” no hey, what’s going on? What’s the problem? Is there anything I can do to help? NOTHING! She lied and told him that my sister said she’s going to be waiting outside in the parking lot for her! Sir why would we waste our time waiting outside for her in the parking lot when if we really wanted to lay hands on her we could’ve did it right then and there! Needless to say we will never be back!

Had a blast on hip hop night. LGBT friendly and very diverse. Police is outside and security is around. Everyone was vibing and having fun. Buy ticket ahead of time!

We went there tonight and felt like second class citizens. We paid our entry fee and our friends needed to pay their cover. I went with him to the atm for this cash only event which was not posted on the website. The Asian girls and the bouncer in the front took my and my wifes cover fee and then asked us for the money again. After my friend paid them ( again) I asked why am I having to pay cover again? They smirked and laughed at us for being cheap. The Asian girls in the front were extremely rude and they need to be replaced.

Wonderful and fun place to go DANCE!!! Two separate rooms, one is old fun disco.... The other is Hip hop, some old some new...People just Dancing everywhere... Smoking deck outside if you need a break from dancing, or need to light up & socialize a bit...Drinks reasonably priced. Staff is great, security is great & may even shake on the dancefloor going by...Very eclectic and fun crowd!!💥🔥💃🏽♥️🌟✨💫

This is my 4th time coming, Ive loved it every time, but this time DJ Spliff Huxtable was TRAGICALLY bad. The night was supposed to have Hip Hop and dance music. This man had people standing around for about 3 songs. 1 circle just started dancing to give people to have something to do. I recommend other nights without this DJ, Ive previously had a great time. Bring cash and buy tickets in advance if you can!

BEWARE OF AGGRESSIVE SECURITY You have to pay ahead as I did to skip the line. Then when you go in the security guard harassed you and pushed me multiple times and even on their second time pushing me caused me to twist my ankle and had to leave early because I couldn’t walk without my friends supporting me to walk after security pushed me into a wall.

We went to the Drunken Unicorn room for Noche de un Verano Sin Ti! It was so much fun!! The room was too dark so it would be nice to have more light in there. The security also needs to learn manners but other than that the entire night was a blast! The DJ 6lactino was the best. Great music and vibes! 😍🌴🇵🇷🇲🇽

Exceptional Experience! My partner and I chose MJQ Concourse for a post-Thanksgiving night out, and it exceeded our expectations. The music was phenomenal, the crowd exuded positive energy, and the bartenders were both skilled and friendly. I found myself dancing all night long – a testament to the irresistible vibe. In a city where many clubs lack vitality, MJQ Concourse stands out as a vibrant gem. Unlike other places where people seem more interested in looking cool than having a good time, MJQ Concourse offers an atmosphere where everyone is genuinely enjoying themselves. A must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable night in Atlanta. Five stars without a doubt!

Cool spot, good vibes and music. you can tip bartenders 25-30% on your first two transactions, and then when you don’t leave a tip on your last drink, they’ll be sure to let you know about their displeasure. unprofessional bartenders is my only complaint.

Not a real bar/club or a diverse bar/club. For tourists, this is an LGTBQ bar. We weren’t told this when we walked in and there’s no signage. They clearly know this happens a lot but haven’t fixed the problem. Feels like a scam.

Review №23

Always a good time. Great outing with your entourage of friends when youre ready for a late night out. (Line starts around 10:30p to get in. Recommend rideshare as parking can be a huge challenge if you dont arrive early and hang out at an establishment nearby.)Be sure to bring cash. No cards accepted here. Bring earplugs, too, just in case its a really loud night. Protect those ears!Also as of April, 2023, its unclear how much longer they will remain open. So visit soon to get your dance fix.

Review №25

I’ve been going to this place since 2005 and have many great memories. I was happy to see a line to get in now, where you used to have to open the “tool shed” door yourself and just walk down. Last night I was told by the owner of all people that I wasn’t allowed in. He thought I was drunk or something, despite literally not drinking all night, but crying for my friend Tom who was killed on the Beltline (Google it) and was just at Tom’s house. This is despicable. He’s the owner, fair enough, but when people are walking in cross eyed drunk, and I don’t get allowed in for crying, gross. I was going to ask him to host an event for my 501(c)3 non-profit which has multiple donors (Almost Persuaded) and other venues around town hosting me. Not now. If that’s how they behave, I don’t want any of my dollars or donors associated with a person like that. Fun place, thought fun owner, I was wrong.

Review №27

Your security guards are rude and very aggressive to people who are enjoying their time. He got in my face for no reason and it was unneeded. I understand being security is important but I dont do anything in clubs to start anything I was having a good time and he got in my face as if I was trying to fight him. I would like to report him for harassment or abused because that was uncalled for.This is only my second time being here and I probably will never comeback due your very rude and unruly security. I never experienced anything like this with any type of security in any club.

This place had really great music and drinks, cute vibe! but don’t necessarily expect a warm welcome. some of the staff and bartenders are very rude and sarcastic here. i had a bartender yell at us in a condescending manner about how she loves “exact change” before we could tip for her mediocre service. also, one of the cashier ladies was very rude too for no reason when a friend and i passed her our money to get in. if you have extremely tough skin, this might be the night club for you. but if not, just stay home.

Nunu the girl at the door was extremely rude! Extremely aggressive.

Been my go to spot for awhile even though I’ve been ignoring unwanted negative attention I get from staff … security is really malicious and miserable … I guess I became a target to the miserable people … I’m literally not problematic at all and mind my business idk how that happened but ok but I simply decided to ask the security who was shadowing me all around the club if he was following me came back and was advised I was banned … I asked why they advised they didn’t have to tell me the end … also wrote the instagram page and I was completely disregarded and left on read

Security does too much! Almost got physically removed bc I was smoking inside and wasn’t aware of their non smoking policy.Two rooms, one plays hip hop and the other plays house music.Went back recently... was almost jumped by a hood chick and her boyfriend for trying to sit down in a free section!! Security just watched.Too hood for me.If you must go, make sure u have cash only, are willing to stand up all night, and smoke outside.

Went on vacation to ATL in October and checked this club out. Absolutely amazing experience!! Loved the underground hip hop vibes and everyone was so friendly. The music was unmatched!Crazy plot twist, while at the club, I lost my car keys inside. After contacting the club, they confirmed having my car keys AND sent them back home to me in the mail. Huge shoutout to Ryan! I 100% will always recommend this place. If youre out of town, and go to ATL, go enjoy the night life here!!

My favorite club, I always end up here every weekend. The cover is usually minimal and I dig the grimy underground vibe. Yes, some nights the music is a bit off(rare) but the people there are fun and the patio out back has a great vibe. Ive met alot of cool people there that end up partying with me the rest of the night. The girl DJ they put in the back room is mad funky, love her.

Review №44

One of the best underground club experiences I’ve had. Diverse crowd. Lit music. High energy. $10 cover charge. Danced all night long but only minor issue was that DJ was a bit choppy with the song transitions… will be back again the next time I visit ATL

An older bouncer came up to me and my fiancé and said her water wasn’t allowed. Kind of ruined the night for us. He was very aggressive and escorted us out of the bar for a bottle of water. He was very aggressive with my fiancé as well. Would not recommend place at ALL based off this experience.

Review №46

Its an ok underground dance club compared to others that Ive been to. Considering the main room could use more space since it gets overcrowded within one hour when doors open. Drinks are pricey. Music wasnt consistently good when I went even though the hype man was giving the DJ so much more glory than he deserves. Just because you drop one classic song like California Love doesnt mean youre good, sit down. The songs included in his set were random at times which ruined the vibe. Speakers arent the best quality, bass is muddy but if you were to judge based on volume, it does its job. Oh, forgot to mention that the club smells like ten pounds of dank weed. If you like mediocre sets, a club that smells like pure weed, sweaty drunk people, and pricey drinks, go to MJQ Concourse. Oh yeah, there is a second room that was playing deep house, there were barely people in there, let alone dancing. Wont go back. Peace.

The Djs were amazing on both dance floors. The music was a fusion of hip hop and pop mixed with a little trap. There Drinks a reasonably priced and decently mixed. Its definitely a good time. Its a place where you go to dance, not stand on the wall and look cute. The place is also pretty well ventilated to be underground. I was hot but never felt like I was in a cave.

Review №49

I havent been since pre-covid. Its my most favorite place to party!! A place where EVERYONE dances and EVERYONE has a darn good time!! Like back in the days when our parents partied..they just had fun and actually danced! Maybe Im an old soul but whats a party without good music, a crowd of people who at that moment dont have a care in the world but to enjoy the moment. Like a house party back in the day LOL. Great music, good drinks, not overly priced like the majority of these spots in ATL where people are sitting around looking at eachother...smh. Still dont understand that part. We dont party like this anymore. Glad MJQ hasnt changed since the 1st time I went ages ago. Just a great group of people to party with! I could go on and on about MJQs but I wont..I think you get it LOL. So come on the underground party I promise you wont be disappointed!!Questions:I did want to know if there have been any changes as far as do we pay online or at the door? What is the price?

Review №50

Incredibly high energy, cheap entry and drinks and 2 separate areas with different styles of music and crowds.MJQ honestly looks incredibly shady when you go there for the first rime but the atmosphere inside pretty much makes you forget that within 5 minutes of entering. The music in both rooms has always been on point when Ive been there and it draws a fun crowd. And even the drawings on the walls and lighting are interesting, and very much match the environment. The bar service isnt bad either, and pretty cheap compared to most dance clubs too. Note: cash only.Definitely a place worth going to on any Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night.

Review №51

I love how low key the location of the club is, if you dont know what youre looking for you may miss it.I went to the Werc Out event that they have every 1st Thursday of the month and I had so much fun! I loved the variety of Caribbean and Soca music in 1 club room and the EDM and dubstep alternatives that were in the other club room. It wasnt too crowed and even though theres plenty of seating, everybody was up and dancing.The bar is cash only and the drinks are super affordable. Ex: 2 shots, a beer and a $3 tip took my 20 bucks a long way.Ill def be coming back, Great vibes!

Review №52

I liked the underground club. Pretty cool. Came on a Friday. Music was good. Crowd was weird. People in their 20s and early 30s were upfront dancing and having fun. People in their late 30s and up were just standing around the walls watching. Not the greatest vibe. Maybe get some more seating. Or if youre a lounge person this isnt the place.

If you’re wearing heels, this is not the place for you lol. A LOT of downhill walking. Flat shoes recommended. Also, the drinks were mediocre. Lastly, one bartender acted like we weren’t going to pay for our drinks so she wouldn’t even set them on the counter until she saw the cash. There was plenty of money to pay for the raggedy drinks. Very rude. Oh and it’s cash ONLY. They do have an atm for convenience of the inconvenience.

Wild place, much more fun when on the drunk side. 2 separate rooms, one hip-hop, 1 other(70s, 80s, disco, etc.) Dancing on both sides, cash only. Can dance on the stage where the DJ plays. Cash bar and cheap drinks, great late night party spot.

MJQ also known as the drunken unicorn is my favorite place to go to. Went here for my birthday and it was the best birthday I have ever had (well second best birthday). I love the vibe, I love the people, I love the music, I love the prices on the drink. I wish that Wednesday would go back to alternative music but thats the thing about MJQ, its always changing. Also, no sunglasses inside, they will make fun of you at the door.

Its definitely a place I love to grab drinks and dance my ass off. Friday nights for me is the best night to go. Not a high heels, tight dress kind of place--but a place where u want to let loose and get your dance on. It has 2 rooms with 2 different DJs. CASH ONLY venue! (reggae, hiphop, and trap genre)

Favorite club in atl by far. People actually dance here instead of awkwardly standing around holding drinks. Hip hop nights are the best and they play all the classics. Other atl clubs are all flash and overpriced drinks. Here you get the fundamentals: good music and a dancing crowd without the pretentiousness of other venues. The bar is cash only so come prepared!

Review №69

Theres nothing quite like going to a concert of a band you dont know at a venue youve never been to. This way the expectations arent high and you wont be disappointed. Case and point: The Generationals at the Drunken Unicorn. A dark, dingy, seedy venue with graffiti on the walls and stickers as far as the eye can see. The acoustics were good and the staff were super friendly (local). Cheap beers kept me there longer than anticipated. Jake was nice enough to hold some tickets at the door for us. For all these reasons, I will be going back. Hopefully to see another unheard of band! Definitely off the beaten path, but those are the ones you want to try!

I used to LOVE Friday night at MJQ. Not so much now. We went for a birthday last night. Drinks were good. The music was pretty off last night as well. We didnt know that they charge $5 for a birthday shout out. Dres told me that it wasnt the radio station or juke joint so if the shout out mattered to me then pay the $5. I didnt pay that. I felt thay drinks and cover charges for a group of people shouldve been enough. We decided to leave at hit another spot after about an hour and a half. Still love the MJQ vibe but Ill go to L Bar on Fridays and try MJQ on Saturdays from now on.

Review №73

Amazing, atmospheric space, reasonably priced drinks and cover, door and bar staff is good, but so much unrealized potential. The word underground gets thrown around a lot, and yes, this place is located literally underground. Music living up to the underground tag, though – not so much. On most of the nights, you get about the same music selection youd get at a fratty bar in downtown Savannah. 2000s radio hits, the same early 2010s trap rap hits they play everywhere else, EDM that sounds like Harlem Shake is still flavor of the season. Its especially bad on the main floor where djs play without much flow, they just throw some immediately recognizable thing at you to get a 20 seconds worth of some kind of reaction. It feels like this place is eternally stuck in 2012.

Review №75

Tons of fun. Mixed crowd of ages, and couples. Seems to play a lot of 90s music, but afro-esque music. Still be bumping!! when dj changes around 1130pm, 12midnight on Fridays. Every 3rd Saturday I believe another dj comes and turns out. 10$ entry after midnight. Other than that before is no cover charge. There is only cash bars in the main room and the disco room (i like to call it). Has ATMs...but will incur fee to withdraw unless otherwise. Drinks are good and decently priced. Attire is fairly casual, seen people with athletic wear if you want to. Come there if you want to actually have fun and not stare at your phones all night ladies and gents!! Slightly underground makes it a bit cool but watch your step coming in from entrance! Other than that like I said come to turn out..

Review №76

I do not recommend this venue, and ive been to pretty much every concert venue in atlanta at this point. I went for a Red Fang concert and had no complaints about the bands, but I ended up leaving before they were even on stage. People were moshing in front of us, and there were several rude people who were actually pushing people into the mosh pit who didnt want to be in it, overall just being assholes. Theres no security or safety precautions to prevent things like that from happening. The structural integrity of the building was pretty scary honestly, and I was afraid a beam would fall down from the ceiling with one strong jump from the crowd. The bartenders were a bit rude as well. There were several people in the actual concert room who I swear were homeless, they smelled like rotting garbage, and the lack of air flow in the room did not help at all in that aspect. Im surprised they were let in at all smelling so badly. Overall I left before Red Fang was even not the stage because the people were rowdy, rude, and overall not courteous at all towards other people there, and no security there to keep things in line. Ive been to plenty of concerts, and theres an unspoken rule about mosh pits and helping people around you if they fall or do not want to be involved in the pit, Ive even lost my wallet at the Tabernacle and had it returned to me by the end of the night; the people here were totally ignorant to all the concert etiquette rules that Ive learned over the years. The masquerade, with all of its issues, at least has security to watch over the floor. Overall, I would definitely skip out on this place and wait until the bands come back to a different venue. Do not recommend.

Mjq is one of those places that’s an absolute hit or miss. A bad dj can ruin the entire night !. I’ve been a few times previously and had the best time of my life....but I’ve been other times (like tonight) where I nearly fell asleep and just ended up leaving. The music was terrible. The vibe was off and it was super empty. It almost makes you question if it’s even worth coming back 🤷🏽‍♀️ It’s a place that fades away pretty fast

90s hip hop, if you like Nas, Biggie, Tupac, LL cool J, Jay Z, Reggae music, Ice cube, Eminem , Wutang, Snoop OutKast etc. They have another room that plays house music. This is the place to be on 1st 3rd and last Friday of the month. Its like a New York underground club in Atlanta $10 cash only to get in after 1130 they have ATM inside, cash for drinks. You dont have to dress up. You can wear chill clothes. Mad fun here. Saturdays and the 2nd Friday they play trapped music with a dab of some 90s. I love this place. I come from Michigan and this is my normal spot on Fridays. I love the music here.

Had a great time with my boyfriend and his family.We were hoping they were going to have the second side open with Caribbean style music but it was just old school tunes. Not what we were looking for. They did play Caribbean tunes the last half hour-ish.I was surprised there was no metal detector or pat down of guys when entering. No checking of purses for women.Had no idea we missed last call until we could as none was given.Still 4 stars bc we enjoyed the vibes and the place want so packed you couldnt move.

Bartenders take advantage of drunk customers. They try to make more money by giving costlier version of the drink ordered and then convincing the drunk customer that it is what they ordered.

This venue is really cool. Went here with my husband on a friday night and had a lot of fun. The bar is cash only though (there is an atm on site) so be prepared so you do not get an atm fee!

Ive been in georgia for yrs and could never find a spot that plays up north music but last month my girls came from Brooklyn to visit so I took them to MJQ and OMG we had a blast! I was sore from dancing and lost my voice from singing out loud.I didnt have a sip of alcohol and had the best time ever.

This is definitely an eclectic spot that even if you stand by the wall the whole time you will enjoy yourself. Id definitely recommend using the parking lots right next to the door or just uber (dont try and park at other establishments around the area). There are two rooms and two bar areas. fun fun spot

I lost my eversence cgm inside from dancing so much. For those who dont know, this is $1000 worth of diabetes equipment. They let me back inside for free and I found it. Aside from a medical emergency, great music and great drinks. Highly recommend.

This place is a total dive. Do not, I repeat DO NOT go here if you don’t expect a dive. The venue is a basement that’s pretty poorly marked, so be aware of that. Parking in the area is terrible, so to get shoes early.
