The main focus of this establishment is the bar, it completely encircles the room. If you're looking for somewhere to drink that has flashy decor, expensive bottle service and an abundance of EDM than this is your place. One of the security staff was extremely rude to me for no apparent reason and the constant police presence makes me believe that this place has issues keeping customers safe. There is hardly any dance floor and people continue to cram in to the point where you can not move. I'm not sure how that is legally allowed, especially with so many people smoking indoors. My opinion is to avoid all together.

Most recently went to Tongue and Groove for St. Pattrick s Day and we all had a great time! Love the vibe, and the variety of not only the music but the people as well. If you need a section ask for Nina or Rae they ll take care of you!! Highly recommend!
Long lines for no reason, treated like crap by all staff and bartenders, overpriced/watered down drinks if you can actually get a bartender to pay attention, one of the owners doesn't care for the "diversity" on certain nights... Avoid this place like the plague.
This place sucks... I went with my wife and 8 friends.. Walked in to find the place was packed with 18 year old kids getting drunk. Most looked like they were 15 or so., After 5 min. We walked out and went to east andrews. I wish I could give then 0 start. 1 star is too many.
Upon making a section reservation we had been told that it would cost a minimum of $450 - upon arrival the server asks for my card and ID in advance and tells us it would be a minimum of 3 bottles aka charge of $750 after being aggravated we went along with it bc of the plans we already made. They PURPOSELY waited until I leave the section to bring out 2 extra champagne bottles literally 30 mins before closing time and handed me a bill of $1,200-
GREAT VENUE, HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! WON T recommend to get a section
THIS PLACE SUX! It sux bc of the management and their employees. We were the 1st people in the door when TNG opened at 9pm on NYE. Noticing all the seats and tables were blocked off, we asked the bartender where to sit. He sd the seats in the small bar that were not blocked off were open seating. We chose a seat in the small bar next to the stairs bc it offered a good view. It was not blocked off, and we first asked an employee if that was an area we can sit and they sd yes. It was right near the front door, the bouncers and management saw us sitting there from the time we walked in. I had a couple of drinks, but Terry wasn't drinking bc he was the DD that night. We were minding our own business, talking between ourselves, when around 11:00pm, a bouncer came to us and sd we had to move, that we couldn't sit there. I asked why and they sd they rented that space out to other customers. I explained that we were sitting there all night and were told that we were allowed to sit there. I guess bc I questioned him and didn't hop right up, they sent a few more bouncers over there to intimidate us. Not only was the whole situation rude as hell, but it was embarrassing. When I refused to move, the management came over there, escorted by the police, and told me I HAD to move. Luckily for me, about that time, 2 people got up from the bar near where we were sitting and we were able to go sit there, but not without having people bump and squeeze in next to us trying to get a drink at the bar. I say luckily for me bc I wouldn't have moved otherwise, and I would have had a huge problem if they laid their hands on me, and the way they brought their SQUAD over there, I felt very threatened that they would have done just that. Now, if the MANAGEMENT had politely come over to us, ask how we were doing, and ASK us if we would be willing to give up our seats, and maybe offering to buy us a drink, then we would have not had any problem doing that. But the whole situation was rude and disrespectful. They don't care about all of their guests, only the ones that buy the "VIP" sections. But, from what I hear and read in the reviews, they quote one price on the phone when reserving a VIP section, but charge a much higher price when you get there. The management did end up telling the bartender our next round was on him, AFTER we sat down at the bar. But by that time, it didn't make up for the way they treated us. We were so comfortable where we were sitting, enjoying the music, and we were actually glad we chose TNG. But the way they came over and handled the situation changed the whole tone of the night. What did the $200 that it cost just to get in the door get us? It got us kicked out of our seats, that's what it got us. The reason this place is getting one star is bc I can't leave zero stars! I will leave this same review on every social media platform I can, plus I will spread the word by mouth.
After reading great reviews and setting up a table for my 30th birthday, i was unfortunately mistaken. Upon arrival, they noted they had no table for me except a larger one and it was the only one left. Up charged me and my group and became a nightmare to get those individuals who were running late in after the fact. Good music, atmosphere, but poor management.
The Best Club in Atlanta!, Nicest Staff, Best Drinks!, I have gone for both a nite out and for the there events, There last nite For the Play Boy Party! A great Time, I didnt know dresses could get that small! Then stayed and Partyed into the Nite! you will really enoy! and no paking hassles Like Cresent Street. Everytime I go in they have upgraded and improved something, Always a little differnent then the last time!
I went here with some friends while visiting Atlanta and it was an amazing time. The service was fantastic and fast unlike many other places I ve been to. They have two different DJs going with different music so it is very easy to find your vibe. In addition to the two different parts of the club they also have a sweet upstairs that looks over the main bar. The style was unique and I will for sure be back.
I would love to give this place a five star however the customer service I received after losing a valuable wristband and having a few issues with my tab which I had no problem paying. I was told by the manager to call the next day. I did so, multiple times only to get the reservation number (frustratingly it the only number available) but I still left a voicemail with my number multiple times. I called back again during regular club hours and no one answered the phone. I'm very frustrated. I'm visiting from out of town and I would like to go back to this venue but if this is why happens when I lose item then I don't want to go back and neither should anyone else.
Fave spot for a rowdy night out in ATL. The staff is always having fun and the atmosphere is always buzzy. Super friendly and helpful management. Wednesday Latin Nights are definitely my fave because of the free salsa lessons for ladies 9-10! #1 choice for a girls night out. Always a blast at this ATL staple.
If I could rate this club a 0 I would. This club is extremely overcrowded with no place to sit. The night we went we were pushed multiple times by a party in a section. This club let the section get overcrowded and nothing was done about their rude behavior or aggressiveness. This is NOT a place you want to go unless you are ready to FIGHT. There was little to no African Americans.
I was there on new year's eve Seth was my bartender (mixologist ) he was awesome... Very tall slim handsome fella... I was there with a very cheap date and Seth did not let those continuous $4 tips detour his attitude... I've never received such professionalism and he was friendly and funny... It was so packed and we got our drinks "little Ceasar's" fast his barbacks were awesome aswell...being a night server I definitely understand the business. Definitely the best bar in ATL... I felt like I was back in Vegas...
Tongue and Groove is an okay place. Removed from other bars it's not a place to go if you want to hop around to many places in one night. It's also very smoky from the amount of people smoking inside and the smoke machines. I hate getting dressed up and going out only to come home smelling like an ashtray. There's a dance floor and many VIP tables (highly recommend) and a photobooth to have fun in. The crowd is a little older than many other clubs so travel accordingly.
There are ALWAYS cops on Piedmont Road. If you are going to go to TnG please take a cab. They frequently do traffic stops and check IDs.
Horrible, systematically corrupt. Don't waste your money or time. A 300+ man hit my friend in the face, but security kicked her out when she tried to defend herself...they refused to roll the cameras back; they just didn't care. All they care about is who's spending the most money.
Tongue and groove is no doubt the most amazing club! You will always have the best time here with your friends for any event! Always a perfect go to if you re from out of town! Very at home and welcoming atmosphere for Atlantans, they treat you like family!
The atmospher was super lit and the music was pretty good, but the DJ was pretty uptight. It was weird but not a ranking factor. HOWEVER, young ladies need to be VERY cautious! It was shocking how men (yes, plural as in groups) would collectively be very BOLD in their sexual advances. I had never experienced anything like it really in other clubs. I've been to some clubs downtown that aren't half as nice with some questionable looking characters, and I never came close to experiencing the same thing. Making it clear once that you're not intrested while both parties are sober should be enough. The space is very intimate so it's daunting knowing they don't care that they are publicly flaunting their creepiness and following girls around the bar in circles trying to brush up agaisnt us among other things. I'm guessing these guys KNOW they can get away with whatever, because it was more than one group. We didn't let it bother us at the time because there were so many of us nor were we dancing with drinks.
Had an okay experience there were no girls to dance with it was all couples and 10 bucks to get in 5 dollar a beer which ain t bad just over all not worth it go to a real strip club like cheatah , there were no girls single girls to talk too
Let me tell you what an incredible place this is...great service, great drinks, the staff is always friendly and hospitable, more importantly the music absolutely phenomenal!!! Thank you for everything.
I came into T&G for a friend's birthday a few weekends ago and had an absolute blast! Our cocktail server Sofia made sure our table was always stocked and made us awesome shots. The music was everything from EDM to Hip Hop and I danced all night. Would definitely come back!
Easily one of the best social scenes in the city. Neva, a bartender, was extremely accommodating, very fast, and put on the most impressive bartending skills I've ever seen in my life. 10/10 would go again
I never write reviews, but it seems like oftentimes people only post when they want to gripe. I on the other hand, had a great time and want to share my experience. I ve been going to this club off and on since it opened in its original location when it was the hottest thing on Peachtree Road. It was (and always has been?) a see-and-be-scene spot with a super strict door, but hey it was the 90s, and that was cool back then. The owners have been smart to change and adapt with the times. When I was there this past weekend, it reminded me why T&G has continued to thrive after all these years. From the front door to the bar, I was still treated like a VIP. (even one of the valets out front recognized me) Many of the faces have changed over the years, but it seems everyone from management on down, still adheres to the basic mantra of being nice. It s obvious the staff enjoys working there.
The club is clean and maintained, and it seems there s always something new about it. The light show is ridiculous (in a good way) and while it can be super loud, they probably have the best quality sound system in the city. The DJs are smart to play to the crowd, as it seemed everybody was groovin around the bar, at the tables, and on the somewhat small dance floor. We hung out almost to close in The Joint, which is kinda a side room, with a different vibe.
I don t burn the midnight oil like I used to, but when I do whether with my wife, or out-of-town guests, we always swing by for old times sake and have an amazing time. The crowd while ever-evolving, is still hot and remains super diverse; b&w and everyone in between, hipsters and influencers to old dudes like me. The crazy thing is, I think it s busier now more than ever?!
Thank you Tongue & Groove for helping Atlanta maintain a thriving nightlife scene for all this time. Keep up the good work.
In town for a corporate event and went there with a group because someone knew the promoter or owner. Rather than going to the bar I thought I would help out by getting a bottle of vodka for the table. That $30 bottle of Ketel One was over $400 and the server didn't even refresh the mixers, glasses, or ice. Pretty sad and shady. I expected to pay a premium for bottle service but this was ridiculous.
The club was fun but the night ended horrible!!!! I left my wallet in the car and parked it with valet!!! When I was ready to leave and they brought my car NO WALLET!!!! I had $550 in cash in it!!! I had three people including myself that clearly saw me leave my wallet on the seat and when I got back it was gone!!! No broken window only thing out of place was my wallet!!! I still haven t gotten a call back from management!!!
Decent night club with packed Friday and Saturday nights. The bartenders can be little unfriendly and the music caters to only one genre but if you are into that kind of music its your place.
Our favorite to go place to party. They have salsa on Wednesdays. Not sure they still do. They have 2 dance floors. I used to here when Lina the best bartender used to work here.
There's a $20.00 cover per person, the drinks are reasonable but felt watered down and the crowd looked very young 21 to maybe 27 years old. Lot's of sagging pants and tennis shoes.
Had a good time. Pre arranged payment for my table for my birthday but was overcharged roughly $500 once I received the bill a few days later. My advice would be to pay in advance.
This place is terrible! They let at least 100 people too many enter this location. You can't walk or move. The insane bar takes up half of the room in this place. So there is essentially no dance floor area! You can't get to the bathroom because you have to squeeze through hundreds of people in the 5 foot area between the bar and the wall. I'm serious this is the worst designed club in Atlanta metro. If they are going to use this design. There should at least be a maximum occupancy so that you could enjoy your time there. Who needs that giant circle bar in the middle? No one!
I typically go every friday very nice club, bouncers are great bartenders are great if you guys get a chance check out Seth he's a tall lightskin gentlemen makes the best drinks and is very fast other than that it's a good time.
Tongue and Groove always brings the party! The atmosphere is top-notch, bringing quality service to a diverse crowd. Whatever type of club experience you like to have, TnG will supply you with it! Whether you would like to sit a a table with your friends, dance around and order drinks from the bar, or observe the crowd from the upper level. The table service is spectacular, including top of the line couches with the most beautiful girls in the Atlanta area providing you bottle service...and the DJ is always on point! Looking for a place to have a wild night out in Atlanta? This is the spot!
I've been here over ten times and I think is this overall one of the best clubs in Atlanta. Cover is usually $20 and staff has always been friendly when I've visited. Drinks are reasonably priced for a club, not cheap, but not over priced. The DJ is usually pretty good. My favorite night to visit is on Monday nights because its a hip hop crowd.
Came here last Friday for a night with friends for my 30th birthday. The staff and owner could not have been more accommodating. I somehow ended up with two free bottles of champagne. Everyone in my group had a fantastic time! Shout out to Neva behind the bar for taking great care of us. Always a pleasure @ T&G
Great atmosphere..I celebrated my bday for the whole month of sept..soooo also went her for bday festivities..The salsa music was great.Dj friendly & shouted me out few bday wishes. The women kept complimenting my bday gown from the entrance door to the vip area which was an indication for good vibes, good ppl which a low hater count.The staff were friendly & made us feel so comfortable.The hookah ..yes We did hookahs which only added 2 the great experience..I loved my dress but the dam mermaid leg sqeeze prevented me from dancing as much as i would have liked.I will def go back but next time i ll be dressed ready to dance
AWFUL!!! We've had two VIP birthday parties in the last 3 weeks, the first time was decent. The waitress Heather made it worth returning. The second time was an epic fail, the bald headed, tall, Af-Am security officer is a joke. He attempted to put me out of the club for "cutting in line" for the bathroom simply because a patron claimed I did. A sloppy drunk chick to be exact! Then he lied and stated that he and the General Manager saw me cut in line, what makes that most interesting is that I had to push the patron off me. So according to security, he and the GM saw an assault take place and did nothing to intervine. A waste of time!! Will never return, not worth the money. Heather let us know if you choose a new venue to work for, we'll definitely swing thru to support you.
This has got to be the worst venue that I have had my organization host our event at. They do not give us any specifications on the reentry at the entrance. Courtney or whoever it was very rude when I approached her and asked her why my party was not being satisfied in terms of the conditions we had with the contractual agreement with this place. Needless to say we will never be contacting this place again and I recommend that you attend another venue with more professionalism with their stuff.
Helpful attentive staff. We came from out of town for a girls trip to Music Midtown. Decided we wanted to go to a real club since we re from a small city. Tongue and Groove did not disappoint! We got there super early (like 10:30, Friday night) and it was pretty much empty. Bartender, Andrew, was awesome and chatted with us. We went to him the whole night. He told us we could hang out wherever we wanted, even the VIP sections, until someone kicked us out. So we went upstairs in one of the sections and waited for people to show up. Got really busy around 12-12:30. We hung out in the VIP spot most of the night. All the employees were super nice. Bathrooms were clean and well-kept. The DJ was not the best but he kept the vibe going. Drinks are overpriced but we expected that. Lots of men, not a lot of women, but most of the patrons were polite and weren t creepy. We had an amazing time and 100% WILL be back when we come to town again! It was a great start to our girls weekend.
Tongue and Groove. There s many words to be said about this place, however, all of them are negatives. I went there with a few close friends on 12/9/17. Everything is okay for the most part. I tip when I believe it is warranted. Believe it or not tips are voluntary good service, not a mandatory act. I ordered a B52 shot from a tall dark guy (he will never be known as a gentlemen that s for sure) and when I decided to not leave a tip he waived me over and said exactly don t order another layered shot from me without tipping me. First off buddy no establishment should employ someone that treats their consumers like that, second off your not guaranteed a tip so don t demand one from me and throw a little hissy fit when you don t get what you want. Needless to say you need some more respectable bartenders.. Scratch that, an actual bartender would be respectable to their patrons.
I never visited before the renovations but I attended the opening night party and it was something beautiful inside! There's a huge bar directly in the middle so you'll never be without a drink. Plus, if you're lucky enough to be there on a party night, you might find a gymnast dancing around on top of it. And there's tons of photo-worthy moments.
I was able to try some appetizers: cheese board, desserts, and veggie platter. All were delicious so I can assume ordering from the kitchen while sitting at one of the booths or at the bar will do you justice. The DJ is booth is elevated but a little below the second floor so you can see the DJ and guest from almost anywhere inside. I didn't have the pleasure of viewing from the second floor but on my next visit I plan to go up there!
These people lie about there bottle specials. Beware!!! They tell you everything is half off, but when your bill comes everything is full price. Never going back to this place and I'm going to make sure everyone I know knows about there lying ways. Again BEWARE !
Spent $250 and wish I had it back. Not a crazy experience, just crazy expensive. Bad for the bar biz.Tip: inebriated patrons spend more.... & this isn't Miami/girls/heat/beach/vacation. Take your $ to a strip joint, you'll have more fun.
Typical Buckhead meat market club. Crowded with Dirtbags, over priced drinks and hookahs. I have gone several Wednesdays for Salsa. The bar service in the main area has gotten better. This club had started to move up with me but then they screwed up again. My last Wednesday, several of my friends and me danced in the side room. The floor was empty and we actually know how to dance so we cranked it on. The DJ then got on the Mike and told us to take our "little routines" elsewhere. Very well Mr DJ, you have your wish.
THe dj and bartenders were okay. The bouncers were rude. I felt offended before I even came into the club. The past couple of times I have not been satisfied. Me and my friends will not be coming back here again because of how we were treated. I came here to ATL as a student to have a good time with my classmates and we were very disappointed. My bestfriend paid for VIP online on eventbrite and was unable to get in, because of miscommunication from the establishment and what they publicized on eventbrite. when I came for my birthday it was also a miscommunication with the VIP section.
