Great spot for music, poetry, and art. The atmosphere is very relaxed. I used to come here every Tuesday for True School Tuesdays. Every once in a while, I'll pop in for an event still.

Be careful walking in the area. It's very dark and there are always people meandering around.

Food was off the chain and them jerk wings was everything, fall off the bones kind. The performer was terrible, he was drunk and slurring the entire show and accepting jello shots from someone else on the floor. That alone killed my vibe

Really nice spot. If you love comedy- and, love the folk who mc the engagements- you are truly going to love this place. Well done Apache Cafe. Please keep comedy, and the edge of comedy alive! Bravo!

I went here for Friday comedy hour and had a great time. The atmosphere is really artsy and inspiring. They have something happening every day of the week which is great. A great place for amateurs to perform and perfect their craft .They show love to everyone .

The reason behind my 4 stars. This was the 1st time I've been to Apache. Before jumping on the plane from the UK, I had heard some great things about this place. The live band, good music, great vibe too.
I was a bit apprehensive coming into the area where Apache is located. Poor lighting, over the train tracks, everything that you wouldn't naturally be around. There was no signage to say "Apache Cafe" I questioned if I was in the right place. The entrance needs improving, the lack of lighting in the car park and also the potholes were crazy. It rained in the day so they were filled with water, not so great for the rental car that I had. I thought twice about getting out of the car.
However, after being greeted by the parking dude, I felt safe and welcome. This was a Tuesday, so it was spoken word/open mic night. I was excited, as I love these kinda things. From when you step in, it's like a different world. The art on the walls, it was warm and clean. I found somewhere to sit and chilled for the night. The bar was fully stacked, they had everything you would have wanted. Yes, it's not the best looking bar, but it works. The bar tender was nice and helpful. The host was cool, he made everyone feel welcome. I even had a chance to meet the manager (Vaughn, I believe his name is) he was very polite and very accommodating also.
The music was just on point, the vibe was great and you forget about the outside world being in this place.
I would have given 5 Stars if the outside of the building was as good as the inside.
I'll be back again, the next time I'm in Atlanta.

One of my favorite underground spots in Atlanta. I normally come for Open Mic night on Tuesday. You get a great cross section of talent. Comedy, Dance, Poetry, And Music. Good for the 18+ crowd

Black art hub. Fairly priced drinks, the staff is cool and laid back & always overworked so be nice. It'a not a big deal to flag down a waiter or waitress with a smile if they haven't stopped by in a bit. Very chill is the way of the Apache.

When I moved to Atlanta 3 years ago I visited the old Apache and had an amazing experience. Life happened and I wasn't able to visit again until about 2 weeks ago. I enjoyed the band but the food and drinks were mediocre. I assumed it was just an off night considering my previous experience. Nope! Here I am, here again and it is worse than last time, I'm not sure if it's new management but something is definitely off. Never have I ever been given an EXTREMELY hot plate of COLD food! How does that even happen? The cheese on the nachos was watered down, there was only toppings on 3 chips which I moved to the side to expose a bare plate of dry and stale chips. The picture is truly what I received! (3 chips on the side). My friend ordered the wings that were served in a COLD skillet... Just put them on a plate! It does nothing for the presentation besides set you up for failure when you think the food will at least be warm in a skillet. I don't think I'll be returning even in 3 more years... I did like the band so I just followed them on social media so I can find a new location to see them because Apache is NOT IT!

Friday night comedy night. The comics varied in talent, but that's expected. We had the hummus with chips, which was ok. No other food items. In the middle of the show, a huge cockroach walked out near the stage, which in sure ruined some appetites for the night. Free street parking was a plus. Small crowd.

Really dope spot. Chill atmosphere and good customer service, I felt like I belonged there. Strong drinks. I didn't eat but food prices were between $15 - $30. Oh and automatic 18% grautity. The performances were raw and really personal...that I loved. I'm definitely going to start coming more often. $10 cover at the door. Jorge @ the door started the night off right.

Cool venue. I came with a friend to this new Apache Cafe location and he complained mostly about this locations lack of air conditioning. There was one big fan, that I felt kept me cool enough, but many others thought the place needed more than just that one fan.

VERY friendly and welcoming hostess (Danielle..I believe was her name) and parking lot attendant (who helped me get into a parking spot and assured me I was at the right location). They are part of the reason I stayed and made me feel comfortable. The location was very hard to find and is in an unmarked warehouse where there was a dirt parking lot with massive potholes. There is no indoor bathroom so I strongly urge you to use the bathroom before you arrive. The bathroom is outside in a shipping container. It did not appear to be clean and had lots of standing water and toilet paper on the floor (this was before the show even started and not a lot of people where there yet). There was no food served inside but there was a food truck outside, which I opted against. Lots of people were eating though. The drinks were good but way over priced at $11. This is not the type of location to charge that price. The bartender was nice but again drinks were not worth the price, at all! Website needs to be updated and appears to have some content from the old venue, which was actually a building. Management should ensure the outside bathroom is at least clean and presentable and install outdoor signs leading to the warehouse. They should also consider changing the name to Apache Warehouse bc it is clearly no longer a cafe and far from it. The old location was much nicer! With the exception of the the location and conditions, we had an amazing time. The live music and artists were amazing for the R & B night. I'm not sure I will return but then again...maybe bc the vibe inside once show started was so good! I suppose once you get past the initial shock and disappointment of the location, you can enjoy & focus on the vibe and great music. Sad to only give 3 stars but I gotta keep it real. Also get tickets at the door rather than online. We paid 14.95 online but only 10.00 at the door.

Establishment was very hard to find with there being no signage, but the customer service was inviting. Compared to the original Apache Cafe, this structure didn't compare at all...Sound was horrible at the Event that we attended and the atmosphere didn't have the same soulful organic vibe that the original Apache Cafe had and definitley lacked the cleanliness. Someone actually started spraying paint on cardboard in the facility and the smell was so strong that it caused me and my party to leave. Hoping that things we'll get better here to uphold the classic look, feel and experience of the original "Apache Cafe".

The coffee is very good, the food was yummy especially the spinach salad I love the taste. Great place to work away from home! this is the best coffee shop I have come across. I'm a fan of the seriously laid back environment when it comes to cafes.

This place is a hidden gem! Apparently the location used to be in Midtown, but because of sky high rent prices they've relocated to an abandon warehouse in West End. It does look a bit creepy on googlemaps, but I like to live life on the More

i'm currently trying to sign up for the mailing list & i am having a devil of the time doing so. it may be my laptop acting up i'll continue to try to c if i can get on the list. i'm hoping to bring my 1 man show to test the waters at Apache!!

This is one of my most favorite places to go in Atlanta, Ga, and when I say there is soooooooo much talent at this place. IT IS UNBELIEVEABLE! I love the atmosphere, the people, the music, the food, and everyone is soooooooo cool! Like when you walk in there are always smiles, and beautiful people to mingle with. Everyone is there for fun, and to enjoy the show! I've seen so many artist perform here who, I know should be on the billboards right now! I've become a fan of many artist watching them do their thang on the stag! This is my go to place to have a great time, and eat their famous jerk chicken wings. I've been going here for a few years, and have connected with some pretty awesome people! I love sunday's, and tuesday nights here the band is phenomenal. I've even been on a wednesday, and on a few saturdays in which they never disappoint. Make sure to get here early to get you a great seat, because the tables fill up fast! If you come to atlanta please check them out they are EVERYTHING! :)

Show was okay, was there for a hour paid the cover charge and $80 for food and drinks. The host came to our table and was high or drunk as hell asking us to make our way to the exit. I said no the bar has my credit card and the waitress said it was okay for us to get another drink and there being made now. He said oooo okay and walks off . We get our drinks and 5 minutes later the waitress comes back and says we have to leave because the poetry show starts soon. Then why 5 minutes ago you didn t say that you said everything was cool. So a woman comes over saying you have to pay $20 or leave we said we just got these $10 drinks so we are going to finish our drinks first. We got dirty looks from the staff all while we were drinking our drink. Very rude and awkward I will never go back. And if we just paid for one show why would you charge us full price for the next show. We were there buying food and drinks which means spending money. We left and went somewhere else and had more food and drinks so we didn t mind spending money it s the way Apache is ran is tacky drunk host waitress telling us we can get another round and 5 minutes later saying you have to leave I will not recommend this place to anyone

Amazing ambiance! Great food and drinks. Karaoke night was a total vibe. Everyone was super friendly. I felt welcomed. Kevin was amazing and attentive. I m vegetarian and he suggested their seasonal salad which was filling and delicious. I ll definitely be back!

This place will only have one server working no matter how busy it is. The hummus is so bad and that's the only vegan thing in the menu. Poor selection and water from Nestle? They forgot about Flint? Can't go back in good conscience.

Upon walking into this establishment it seemed easy enough to get in, but I hate the fact that they only take cash for cover charges, but at least they have an ATM machine by the front door now. They don't do enough to inform the patrons of this before they've stood in line for 10 minutes waiting for the entry process to be completed during popular nights and shows. The open mics they have don't allow every genre to participate and the musicians don't always welcome singers or new musicians on to the stage.

Yeah. They serve good food. I found mine pretty overly salty last time though, but it's usually good food. I hate that you can't sit at the tables without paying a stupid reservation charge and being obligated to buy food while you watch the show. Not much standing room on packed nights and it's terribly annoying trying to stand by or make it to the bar.

Lots of free expression on some nights, but it can be down right embarrassing for new comers with low support from patrons and musicians. The sound is hit or miss. I just think there could be more done. Parking can be really crappy because the venues located on a dead end street that really only fits about 14 cars legally and safely. Then, there's a big lot in the back of the building, but the price sucks and you can run a high risk of getting booted, which the venue should do more to prevent.

It's a good place to go if you're looking for something new and the best musicians play on Wednesday nights. Most nights there's a cool dj mixing in the small backroom for people who just want to chill and dance, but I wish they would turn the club into a party club every once in a while and get rid of those ridiculous tables. Overall, I'd recommend it, but just not to everybody.

Camille is absolutely wonderful!! I consider myself to be an extremely nurturing individual. Camille was so self serving and her energy was absolutely beautiful. I thank Apache for CAMILE.

As a NYC Brooklyn native, I can say this place remind me of home. The only difference is Apache Cafe is better! Competitors show love and respect to one another which we lack in the community. Drinks and food was on point! Surrounded by beautiful people and a pleasure to see a lot of young raw talent presenting on the stage. The southern hospitality is real in Atlanta and I was taken back as the members here treated us with love and respect.

Hard to rate. The venue was great. Food very good, our waitress was awesome. Now to the bad, the headliner/host was HORRIBLE. My party understood this was not a professional show but damn..the host was damn near manic..all over the place..several people left it was so bad..there were some obvious internal issues with several performers not getting their time on stage and they commented. I paid to get in and get a table not deal with performer drama..totaly unprofessional. Could have saved my money and watched some concerts on YouTube. My overall thoughts..apache cafe 5 stars..who ever picked the talent minus 0

It had good energy. A little slow with service at the tables. Drink prices are high. Overall, if you're looking for something to do different or just want to get out this is a place to go and relax or even for a first date as long as you have a reserved table and don't mind spending some extra money for a couple of drinks.

My first time there. Coming from out of town. I'm over 50, but, still enjoy going out, listening to music, etc but, I wasn't sure what to expect. To my surprise, I truly enjoyed myself. I'll come back

Most welcoming atmosphere. The Host, Dichotomy, was absolutely hilarious and brilliant. Everyone who performed brought something different to the table and performed for the sake for performance. I didn't feel like I was listening to a car salesman trying to sell their stuff. My friend who performed for the first time was so nervous and it couldn't have been a better environment for it. I did see Apache on Periscope before I ever knew I was going to be here. I will be back. Great drinks!

Nice spot off of the beaten path. Had pretty decent performers and good drinks. I didn't order any food. The service was outstanding. Seating is limited so get there early or be prepared to stand.

I am sad to say an very nice place prior to moving has gone down hill. They are located in a very scary location that has no signage from the street to the building in an industrial area traditionaly used for semi trucks to pick up trailers. The warehouse is surronded by trailers with graffeti that is only on the inside of the lot to there is nothing that eludes to the fact a club or gathering place for humans. The place is huge because it is a warehouse but has no heat. We paid 25 dollars for table in advance and 35 for entry online prior to going. I can say i got bamboozled. There was no waistress staff or good. And a lady in the back of the club wit catch app to buy liquor from. There was no sink or stove so I don't know how they serve food anymore. We went to the event on sunday 2-16-20. There was advertised to be a special menu. We were told the vendor canceled at the last minute and we could go and get food and bring it back. So my hubby went to the closest place and got taco bell to try and make the best of it. The entertainment was nice but the facility is trash. The restroom facility is a trailer outside the building in the dark with one toilet. Very dirty. Very imbarrassing. Men and women had to use it even though it was marked ladies. There is no security. I am Completely disappoited. The old facility was small but it was decent. I really want my money back. Ruined my husband and I rare night out since we have 4 kids at home and spent money on services we did not recieve.Avoid this place.
