Look, I have no need to make people "like Atlanta". I like it here and that's all that matters to me. However seeing this is where I live and take a lot of interest and pride in this city rather than rolling with the C-D meme that it's a drab "suburban style city" I feel obligated to counter the claims that were made. If you can't handle someone disagreeing with you that isn't my problem.
Understandable. Atlanta is certainly not drab.
No, I would not step foot in a hip hop club or strip club. I am just curious, and I did say "upscale" ones. Supposedly Atlanta also has good LGBT nightlife. I am not into the hip hop or the gay scene, and by what people are saying, those seem to be the strong points for Atlanta. I like bars/live music and your occasional club spinning good house music. I am just curious if that is what is bringing up Atlantas nightlife. I have been to other bars and have been out in Buckhead, Midtown, East Atlanta, Decatur, L5P, Cabbagetown and Virginia Highlands on numerous occasions. These places are fairly underwhelming, especially when you have New Orleans in this poll. It would be nice if there was nightlife in DT area, but it's dead and the few places down there or anywhere near it a visitor might be able to walk 10-15 minutes to are kitsch chains I would never patronize, which definitely sucks as a visitor.
Atlanta is definitely not drab, but it is definitely a suburban style city for the most part besides a few areas, and all of the nightlife is in suburban style areas.
I would not go to strip clubs in New Orleans or Miami either btw.
NY is not located in the south. Therefore, should not be mentioned in this thread.
However, NOLA is. The crime rate is off the charts and through the roof, facts prove it. The crime in NOLA should definately be factored in when walking those dangerous streets to party.

And? If this was about the entire US you would still disregard those facts.
New Orleans crime is not off the charts. I don't know how many times I have to tell you.
Just one question: how is it that strip clubs are included in a discussion about night life, especially since most of these places are open in the daylight? There's only a small fraction of the general population who is even willing to patronize these establishments.

as far as electronic goes, you'll hear a good mix of it at least half of the time (or more) at the following clubs:
midtown: opera (this generally picks up all the big name dj's - bt, digweed, etc) halo (lounge with a dance floor)
sutra quad (exclusively electronic)
mjq concourse
aurum lounge (http://aurumlounge.com/event-calendar/ - broken link)
the masquerade (venue with multiple levels, and usually at least one is hosting some sort of dj spinning something electronic)
there are plenty of other smaller clubs scattered in some of the other districts (westside, EAV, etc) and i have specifically left out gay clubs which 99% of the time are playing electronic music. no way in hell is atlanta only a hip hop city.

Yeah, but have you ever seen daytime strippers? You want to see the pro caliber team, you got to go a little later. You go to a strip club a 2 PM in the afternoon on a Tuesday--man, lemme tell you, you can't unsee that sort of thing.
New Orleans had a murder rate of 49 per 100,000 people in 2010. Which happens to be the highest for larger cities in the US.
