MadLife Stage and Studios Reviews

There is not a finer establishment for musicians anywhere in the Atlanta area. They really take care of their clientele and run their shows as smoothly as any professional set up I have yet seen.

Great experience. Waiter (Chris) was awesome. Departure put on a great show and I'm not even a journey fan.

First time visit tonight to take my friend to dinner for her birthday. Exceptional experience. Summer was our waitress and was very sweet and excellent service. Cheese board was on point and came out fast. We both ordered the spinach chicken fettuccine and it was phenomenal. I expected this place to have bar style food and it wasn t anything close. We will definitely be back!

A place like no other in downtown Woodstock, or anywhere that I've personally seen! A restaurant that doubles as a concert venue is a very out of the ordinary and creative idea. On top of that, the food is amazing. David Berry, the head chef, could not have done any better. I look forward to being back!

Awesome spot to grab good food (think catfish sandwich)...socialize...or listen to live music. You can hear local acoustic acts, touring acts, as well as band and acoustic competitions! Valet parking weekend nights at least when ive been there...which is good because public parking is in demand.

Great time. Enjoy a preshow snack. Savor some nice adult beverages. And get ready to rock.

Great small venue, staff is very friendly and food is tasty.

Nice evening listening to music on the patio. Drinks were cold and service was good.

Always a great time at a concert and a lot better food than I expected

The best times are found here. Some of the best music and food .. You have a perfect excuse to get out and listen to the music of our Youth.

This place is awesome! The staff is really great, and the Cheese board and Turkey sandwich is out of this world!! If you get the chance catch Belle Gray there! instagram @bellegraymusic

I have now been to at least a dozen shows at Madlife. And every show has been great! Madlife is without a doubt, hands down, unquestionably, the best, most fun place to go in Woodstock... correction... north of Atlanta!!

MadLife Grill has an amazing menu. Everything we tried was incredible. The menu is small but well chosen, seasonal entrees and ingredients. They often have live musical entertainment on weekends.

The food here is amazing and, even though they were absolutely packed, did a fantastic job.
We started with the cheese board, then had the shrimp and grits and Madhouse steak. So good!

Review from musicians perspective:

Great venue! Acoustics are superb. Extremely helpfull stage hands, great sound guy and great sound engineers tracking while you play. The mix was great on a stage, could hear all of our 4 piece band(Jen Hodges and spurge) perfect and clear. The food is great and the staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. Can't wait to play there again.

Awesome food. Great staff. Comedians worth seeing. Wish comedy in woodstock was more often. See ya soon.

Food fresh and tasty, innovative menu, restaurant needs more sound proofing the noise bleeds over from the stage area making it very loud for a meal and conversation.

We always go on bike night and always have good service and great food .

Great venue, very clean, staff was very nice and professional. One of the nicer venues I have been to in a while.

Had a great time. Service was great. Music was good. Not much to add

Our 1st visit to Madlife, we'll be back. Outstanding facility, acoustically, and convenience wise. The folks working there are friendly, courteous, and attentive, made us feel like we we're regulars. Banks & Shane we're great as usual and had the place rockin and rollin. If you get a chance to see B&S in concert you won't be disappointed. Looking forward to a return visit in the future.

Have visited a number of times for food and drink on the front patio. They have a small stage with music. The times we've been there the performers have been country and classic rock/folk. Very pleasant. The downgrade was for an unusual charge on our last visit. My wife ordered a bourbon on the rocks. She told the waiter to bring what he recommended - I know, never do that since it's always one of the highest priced but that wasn't the issue. I'm used to that since she frequently does it. The issue was that when the bill came there was a $2 charge for "rocks". Bizarre to pay for ice in a drink. The excuse was that they put more bourbon in with ice?????? Won't stop us from returning but be warned.

This place is the worst place ever. How do you send somebody Eggs Benedict without hollandaise sauce. Tried it once and will never try it again. The prices are too high to mess up the orders-especially when we are all leaning so heavily on takeout.

One of the best venues for live music in the entire state. Killer sound and, and lights, the best bands around, and fantastic food, and service.

Always a great place to enjoy a few drinks and watch a top notch cover band. Highly recommended!

Great outside patio live music environment. Good drinks and service.

They are great! Best staff of any venue I've frequented.

A great place to see excellent cover bands. Book ahead !

Went to a show the sound was great and the seating was close to the stage with drinks and food avalible. Great pulled pork sandwich.

Intimate venue for concerts, singers comedians etc. They also have a recording studio. Several bands are featured every week.

Awesome place to go see a tribute band. Saw Lynard Skynard tribute band tonight! Not expensive either.

Great Time!!! The bar staff has been very good. Have seen two concerts there now, and both were a lot of fun. Small venue with good seats for everyone. Even standing at the bar is good if seats are sold out.

Restaurant side has good food and even outside seating with live music. Good time even without the shows!

Liked the ambiance on the patio and the band was really good

Great food!! And music we will be back aug 30, for Battle of the Bands

Highly recommend this place!! Good food, good fun and excellent entertainment!!!

The sound system is great! Sat up front next to the stage and it was not too loud. It's small enough so everyone has a good view. Next time we will get balcony seats and check those out.

Great food and great service. A great music venue as well! A true hidden gem.

Great spot for live music and food is pretty darn good!

Went for a concert. Great intimate venue. Menu for restaurant looks great as well. Will plans to eat dinner here before the next show.

Pleasant staff, good service and decent venue with David Bressner

I have only been here once. Everything was great except the amount of available parking. I had to park nextdoor for a Sunday brunch.

Great live music venue. Superior acoustics and lighting enhance the performances. Waitstaff is overworked

It's great to have this type of an option in downtown Woodstock. The food is pretty good and a well stocked bar including COLD beer.

Absolutely hate the seating arrangements. They squeeze 4 people to a really tiny 2 top table. Leaves no room for food or snacks and barely enough room for your drinks. And, no silverware or glassware. All plastic in the main venue.

Tip, eat in the restaraunt before the show.

Worse, the tables are all crowded extremely close together. It gets very closterphobic with very litttle room to get to the bar, restrooms etc. Wait staff clearly struggle to move around as well.

All in all would be pretty easy to fix these things and make this an outstanding venue.
